I love the line : \"Defeating dragons, they fly where no one dies.\"

It, to me, signifies strongly that state of nostalgia or memory that never dies. It\'s with us forever. Like captured in time, almost. I\'m not finding the right words to explain what I mean, sorry πŸ˜‚

Beautifully written, thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

SB, always the greatest threat to my gardening skills. I hate weeds. I pull them out and squirt in some weed killer, and they still come back with a friend.

This, my friend, is both true literally and a brilliant metaphor for the mind. O, it really works well as a metaphor for a number of things. Brilliant. Instant fave. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Many\'s the time down on my hands and knees pulling up these accursed plants - and they just kept sprouting to no end. Invaders, indeed. A keen gardener/poet wrote this one. Well cultivated, Soren.

Do take care now,

Tony.

Made me think back on the tiring work of weeding my own gardens or beds. Yet for all the back breaking work, there is the produce, the bloom, the beauty. Unfortunately, one can only admire it for but a moment, then must be back to the work of tending it, lest it be overgrown. Thank You, Soren.

The poem celebrates the resilience of love and relationships as they face the challenges of destructive forces. It employs the metaphor of a garden to represent the beauty and growth of love, while the weeds symbolize the obstacles that must be overcome to preserve its sanctity.

This poem really shows the struggle of trying to keep a garden nice when weeds keep taking over. It makes you feel how hard it is to get rid of the weeds and keep caring for the garden. It’s a strong way to show persistence. Well written!!!

There are all sorts of weeds in every type of garden, much like gremlins to machines and mechanical devices, not able to be totally rid off. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•Š

Loved this. Brought me back to those innocent days and pondering exactly when they flew away with, instead of fighting, another dragon. Well done, my friend! From the heavens, Draco shines down. Well done. A fave. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Innocence is the answer! Such a nice reflection on innocence and the power of it. We need to stop forgetting our childlike nature in the complexities of life.

Wow, coming from your deep understanding of the mind I think this is wonderfully powerful, although we could argue this, I doubt any baby in a pram would smile at Trump, just to say LoL 🀣

Your poem masterfully explores the timeless themes of innocence, imagination, and the transformative journey from childhood to adulthood. It beautifully captures the essence of dreaming, the unbridled joy of childhood experiences, and the poignant loss of innocence that accompanies growth. Your poem serves as a poignant reminder of the breathtaking beauty and magic of childhood, juxtaposed with the inevitable loss of innocence that comes with aging, inspiring us to cherish imagination and joy in our lives.For some reason, life seems so beautiful and effortless as a child, and it\'s amazing how that innocence can inspire us as adults to appreciate life\'s simple joys. I cherish the memories of my childhood.

A truely delightful little verse, petite in its innocence, as if written by a child, so convincing its wholeheartedness. Just lovely.

All the best,
