Words to dust
Bella Shepard said:
For me this is a sublime metaphor, the mining and crafting of words into poetry. Who knows when that refuse may become gold. Such a fine write dear poet.

Deep reflection and honesty here. Somehow we manage to find the counterbalance to those scars that life seems inflicts upon us, we have to keep moving forward. Well penned!

I am all things
Bella Shepard said:
For me you have described so beautifully in this poem the very essence of our existence. The last two lines especially resonate deeply. This is certainly a favorite

As a child I would wonder how much of us remain after all that exfoliation, cell replacements, haircuts, nail trimming, and the like.... thoroughly enjoyed this poem! Thanks Soren.

The fifth degree
arqios said:
Loving the compound and interactive metaphor here Soren. When we were kids, a short ways ago there was talk of getting the third degree for misdemeanours that were frowned upon even by the naughtiest of young people. But taking it to the fifth, that is an intensity and a world of pain that one would not wish for oneself of any other. Thanks for sharing.

Such wisdom at the heart of your poem. Birth, life, death, how can we understand the whole? Your words offer much to contemplate.

Tuned into MPS and there was your piece, saying exactly how i\'m feeling about love of life having just spoken with my cancer specialist.
Faith is there for us in all its many manifestations and proves such a strength.

Those are the sort of things which keep me out of any butchers shop on the high street.
Flesh and bone butchered in war has the same aura.

(forgive my rudeness, dear poet
I wanted to share with you
on of my fav Bukowski poems
so you may see, how favourably it compares with your write)
\'The Loser\' by Bukowski:
\'and the next I remembered I’m on a table, everybody’s gone: the head of bravery under light, scowling, flailing me down . . . and then some toad stood there, smoking a cigar: “Kid you’re no fighter,” he told me, and I got up and knocked him over a chair; it was like a scene in a movie, and he stayed there on his big rump and said over and over: “Jesus, Jesus, whatsamatta wit you?” and I got up and dressed, the tape still on my hands, and when I got home I tore the tape off my hands and wrote my first poem, and I’ve been fighting ever since.\'

It\'s a gas
L. B. Mek said:
\'and that patient cheese
awaits
that backup, mouse...\'
(when we see and choose to affirm
reality
without airbrushing, those parts
we\'re not too fond of
then life\'s, as simple as smoke
signals
and self prevention, simply
requires us to wear
a few smile painted gas masks;
for
all that bul sht, of \'sayings\'
and their intention of narrowing
our perspectives, can be laughed
away
as easily as Helios giggled, his helium
in defiance, of all taking themselves
too seriously
for the truth is:
\'Gaiety, is wiser than wisdom\'...)
such a clever write
really well realised
thought provoking to say the least
thank you! dear Poet
