Friendship said:

Well written. Your poem \"Servitude\" explores themes of oppression, labor, and the relationship between the master and the enslaved. It delves into the history of servitude, highlighting the exploitation of both land and people. The imagery used suggests a contrast between the beauty of nature and the harsh realities of human abuse, symbolizing the loss of innocence and the violence inflicted by colonialism and slavery. The poem culminates in the realization that both master and slave are ultimately connected through their shared humanity and suffering.
The poet aims to shed light on the injustices of servitude, to provoke thought on the connections between oppressor and oppressed, and to encourage reflection on humanity\'s shared suffering and the impact of history on present realities.

Dear, Soren,

You preen time exquisitely with a flock of words alighting on a branch of a profoundly beautiful poem. I love this one, very much so.

Your friend and fellow poet,

My dear sorrenbarret, I think you have just shared a lifetime of talent in one piece of outstanding poetry, I am not only in awe, but overwhelmed by the pure extraordinary imagery, your title gives a lot in this poem, powerful and brilliant, for me it\'s almost the finest battle between all that is pure and beautiful and all that is evil. That\'s just my take on this. Superb piece my friend wonderful ending too. This poem needs the fresh air to breathe. 🌹

I read several times and was intrigued by this allusion to time, and how it taunts us. It is the riddle of life, Excellent!

I\'ve read and re_read this several times soren
It is fascinating
All from a seed fighting the odds to survive
Becomes a magnificent oak
That becomes a home for the feller to start a family
Then I think his coffin is made from it
And new seeds begin.. weed/tree line
Could be completely wrong here
Hence my late comment
Just get a vibe about how everything is connected
I\'m rambling a bit so will leave it there
Either way it is a great poem with plenty to think about

This poem is rich with layered metaphor; time as both tormentor and muse, language as bloodletting and balm. It dances between clarity and obscurity, daring the reader to chase meaning while warning that meaning may be a mirage. I love how it challenges interpretation while rewarding immersion.

There is so much skill here involving weaving such a distinct narrative ending with again such poetic ethereal wisdom. The imagery is beautiful and is it iambic octameter? Or close. Im probably wrong here. Regardless the rhyme structure is so enchanting. I am such an earnest fan of your writing Sir. I look forward to the next piece. Elizabeth

I still I can\'t believe that the poem is so \'short\'...; yet, comes across as being extremely powerful.
It kind of makes me think that anybody could choose their own style of poem...be it one line/two lines/three lines/four...;
and, just make that into being their own strict rule...; then, build up going from there...by writing more and more such poems;
eventually, one hopes one would be a \'master\' of such a style.

Hello, Soren,

From timber built a house, a home, the family\'s roots, a family raised and from timber built their caskets. Of nature and man in a most splendid poem. Well done indeed.

Fond regards,

Tony.
