Euhemerism
Bella Shepard said:
I admit I had to google Euhemerism, (you are expanding my vocabulary), and I thank you for that. This is thought provoking and so beautifully written. I fixated on \"carbon footprints pressed into diamonds\", the imagery of that just blows my mind. Thank you for this wonderful piece.

Anaclictic metamorphosis
Rocky Lagou said:
Wow I love this! I feel that boatman line refers to the trip made to the Underworld in Greek mythology in which you need to pay Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, a certain coin or else you\'re doomed to swim in the dark waters of the Styx for 100 years. From the title I feel that this could be an evolution from not relying on others to depending on yourself. Great job!

a butterfly, of a poem
deep threads, you pull at my friend
deep!
thanks for sharing
(love all your myth referencing, imagery
crossing time\'s borders
from one line to the next
I feel
James Joyce, would relate)

I love the paradoxical nature of your poem. Do we take on the attitudes of those we\'re surrounded by, simply by virtue of numbers? Or do we seek out those who think as we do, safety in numbers. Such a puzzlement. I love the way you pose your question. Well crafted piece.

So I assume this is about society viewing someone as either \"crazy\" or possibly \"provocative\" through their expressions (either artistical or personal) and forming judgments about whether or not it is \"morally okay\" to do those things. Interesting and it honestly happens quite often.

of rhythmically pleasing, wordplay

Often people become fixed in a way of believing because those around them share a certain view. To think outside that train of thought can become frightening for them. In the case of religions it is often child induced fear which has been instilled in them.

Zamm! I feel this is directed to Christians, and possibly religion in general, as inferred by the title. But honestly you spoke some truth though. I love the way you challenged morality in this one and I like your brazen tone.

Question; does the whole perspective change if you\'re left handed? This was such fun, kudos for keeping it all straight, I think.

Rocky Lagou said:
Yes. Your perspective, or your \"attitude\" towards life will really alter everything around you. It\'s powerful and we must always stay firm in our beings and our worth.

This is a great play with words and fearing a headache i gave up trying to figure it all out.
On reflection, if i turned around and looked over my shoulder would i have the right to feel i\'d been left behind?

Saudade
Rocky Lagou said:
This was wonderful, I can definitely relate to that sensation. Also my father is Brazilian so when I read the title I was like \"Yes!\" Normally I hear it used like \"I miss you.\" But it can also be taken like a wistful yearning. Well done!

Bella Shepard said:
A beautiful poem that I can easily relate to. The older I get, the deeper I feel all the life I\'ve lived through those memories. I also wonder where did all that life go, and did I really do all those things. Yes dear friend, we did.

dusk arising said:
My grandchildren have just had their fourth and eighth birthdays. I found myself wondering what will be the childhood memories which will stay with them long into their adult years. I doubt I shall figure there as covid kept us apart and still does much to my displeasure.
That\'s where your two lines took me today. Bring on tomorrow.

Love and Loyalty
Bella Shepard said:
Dear poet, wonderful symmetry, so pleasing to the eye in its composition, yet tugging at heart strings. It flows beautifully from one line to the next.You inextricably link the two most important things that a relationship should be based on. A wonderful read!

Matrimony
Bella Shepard said:
Love this take on matrimony, done with tongue in cheek. Gave me a chuckle. After 52 years of marriage it comes down to figuring out what makes your better half tick. Surprising the power you can wield with a little psychology. Guess I\'ve spilled the beans.

Bella Shepard said:
This poem evokes so many feelings. We tend to ruminate on the past, for better or worse, and sometimes simply owning it is all we can do. Often the most meaningful things can be said with a brevity of words. Thank you for your words.

dusk arising said:
Ah yes, isn\'t the human mind incredible to create romatic associations with the scientific realities all around us - the moon, the stars, rainbows - the fall of a shadow, the call of the wild.
Where would we poets be without this inspirational spark.
Great piece of poetry. I love it when a piece makes me reflect upon some things we take for granted - well I do anyway.

All I can do is take a deep breath and exhale slowly, as I take in the depth of your words. How do body, soul, mind come together to form us thinking, feeling human beings? It\'s always a puzzle to me.
