You capture the queasy feeling of unease, when the subconscious seems to be at work. This poem evokes that eerie feeling quite powerfully.

Your poem “Gut Feelings” explores the tension between a seemingly normal exterior and an underlying sense of dread or unease. It reflects on the conflicting emotions that arise when one feels that something is wrong despite the outward appearance of stability and brightness.
which it seems to revolve around feelings of anxiety and foreboding, contrasting the beauty of spring with an internal sense of gloom. It delves into themes of intuition, the subconscious, and the haunting presence of unresolved issues from the past.

A sensation we all have at times, that nagging feeling this ain\'t what it appears and so on, some though get so fixated on that instinct that they end up making that instinct reality, hope that makes sense, another enjoyable read

Very true words soren, those in power do not care about others only themselves and what they can get out of it.

How indeed can we be deaf to history? I thump my forehead at each new example of humans disappointing, pleading ignorance of blatant facts. You speak from my brain brother, very nice.

Soren, this hits like a hammer swinging down with the weight of hard truth...and it should. No line’s wasted, and none of it flinches. That final stanza lifts without pretending we’ve earned it yet. Truth told clean. 🌹👏 Respect, my friend!

Soren, you play brilliantly with perception. The rhythm is tight, but it’s the tension underneath...the knowing and not-wanting-to...that I really found to be killer (in a good way). You pull the curtain just enough... and leave us staring into the trap door. 🌹👏 Beautifully done.

The poem is full of irony, you highlighted power politics .
Nobody is permanent friend and nobody is permanent enemy.

Well written, your poem powerfully illuminates the transformative potential of humanity, spotlighting the cycle of war and the exploitation of the vulnerable, while emphasizing the profound consequences of war on individuals and societies. It inspires a vision of true peace, achievable through empathy and communal harmony, urging readers to ponder their roles within societal structures and cultivate peace. The poet seeks to empower critical thought, breaking the cycle of violence and unlocking a brighter future through understanding and compassion, issuing a call to action for readers to become the architects of a more harmonious world.

Seems to be speaking of yearning for something and not getting it. Mourning something intangible. Deeply layered and true.

Another interesting read and more than superficial depth. I really liked the writing style and the parallels drawn. It\'s interesting because the simulation hypothesis believers out there would very much lean towards us being in a magic show. I keep an open mind.

Hello, Soren,
The duality, the is, the botanical and anthropological in metaphorical association, bound for the inevitable whilst nourishing their growth, spreading their seed for the next generation in the cyclical nature of life. The living and dying together and how we are all connected, both plant and animal in this well wrought and insightful verse rendered forth with a wonderful understanding of the poetic form. Excellent.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony.

Well written. Your poem seems to reflect the unpredictable nature of life. The Magic Show\" revolves around the illusionary nature of life, suggesting that our existence is akin to a magical performance where reality is obscured by deception and trickery. The poet explores themes of perception versus reality, the fleeting nature of time, and how we cope with the unknown. The poet\'s matter includes references to magic tricks—like sleight of hand, hidden elements, and illusions—metaphorically representing the complexities and misdirections of life.
