Rashomon
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this hits like a siren. The immediacy, the noise, the moral whiplash…it’s unsettling in the way it should be. There’s no safe distance here, and that’s the point. Another fantabulous poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Rashomon
Friendship said:
During the weekend, I had an interesting conversation with someone regarding an incident that occurred in Minnesota involving the shooting of an agent, and the conversation transitioned into a description of a movie that aligns with the theme \'Misleading to the Naked Eye\', which is also my understanding of the film. The film Rashomon, directed by Akira Kurosawa, presents a murder from four distinct perspectives, each disparate, leaving the viewer to discern the truth. This phenomenon impacts eyewitness accounts, which are influenced not by deception or varied vantage points but by individual preconceptions, illustrating that perception is subjective.

Indeed, when we look around us we see the transience of nature in plants, humans and animals. Everything goes in a cycle. Shadows fade; the breeze does not last; there is reproduction, new life; the old one fades away.

Good write SB. I can\'t SEE why KP complains, cos I SEE a pile of sewage and says \'That\'ll make a nice dinner - or ten - for her\'. When she SEES it she says \' Oh no, not sewage again\', and I reply \'But you\'ve only had it 20 times this week, dear!\' lol. It\'s a \'orrible marriage!

Extraordinarily powerful as only you can show this type of human nature, and you are perfectly right, we see what we choose two because our eyes and minds our ours to adjust. sorrenbarret this has pulled at my heartstrings today as our world beyond the movies is very broken. Kudos. Ps I had to Google your title, kudos for that too 🤣

I remember a line from one of my favorite writers along the lines of \"it`s not seeing is believing, but believing is seeing.\"

Your poem explores the ephemeral beauty and magic of fireflies as they navigate through the night. It captures the essence of fleeting moments and the gentle transition from night to day, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. Nicely written, Soren

I got the feeling this firefly is actually metaphor for someone you love, how incredibly beautiful and may I say, how soothing this was to read. 🌹

What an amazing poem Soren! Fireflies really are such amazing creatures. Back in the Midwest we used to catch them in jars and use them as a lantern. We only had them there for a while or so and then we would watch as the lights would float away. Great imagery and you captured a firefly perfectly.

The journey of the firefly, maybe evoking memories of yourself.
Nature at work never ceases to amaze, and to think the show is free.
What more can you ask for.

Luminescent blinks, aren\'t we all? A fantabulous poem and your use of metaphor is second to none, as always. I can\'t say it enough...this is so good it gets a portmanteau: fantabulous. Well done! ⚡️🪰🌹🖤🙏🕯️

This shimmers with quiet wonder. I love how the fireflies become tiny guides through memory and night—their movement delicate, almost musical. There’s a gentle nostalgia here that lingers after the last line, like dew on grass at dawn.

Watching fireflies must be an impressive sight. The poet captures the sight and sets it in poetry. It\'s a sight made of dreams. It symbolises the transience of life, since we know the time is limited. Dawn will make the sight vanish.

Beautiful tale of the life of a firefly. It brings more joy than once imagined in your poem.
Love it. A fave.

Only the taste of memory remains... This is the most poetic metaphor I\'ve read I think. Pain shouldn\'t be beautiful, but you wrote it that way.

Great work Soren. This was a nice poem to wake up to as it’s a little humorous. Nonetheless the rhyming and descriptive words are on point, nice job.

Soren, this is bold and unapologetic. The rhythm drives hard, relentless, and playful all at once. It knows exactly what it’s doing and leans into it without flinching. That confidence carries the whole piece. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
