A very deep write with reserved a bit hidden emotions, sounds like a calm but still resonating reflection

How simple things used to be. This poem has such a deep nostalgic feel to it. When I was younger, I used to go over to my cousin’s farm. We had built a tire swing and we would spend hours outside. It’s so sad to see how we went from that to having our face in front of a screen every day. There’s a park near my house and every time I take a walk around it, I’ve noticed that I see less and less children playing. They might be at school but most are probably at home in front of electronics. We’ve taken the natural simplicity away from life. Hang on to what you have Soren, it’s very special. Great work.

Magnificently crafted! Your poem beautifully captures the essence of a simpler, more authentic way of life, radiating a profound appreciation for nature\'s splendor, warm community bonds, and timeless traditional values. It juxtaposes the allure of modern conveniences and commercialism with the sublime joys of a rustic lifestyle. The poet skillfully highlights the quintessential elements of rural life, including the bounty of homegrown food, heartwarming community interactions, and a deep, soulful connection to nature. It powerfully emphasizes the extraordinary pleasures found in simplicity and the paramount importance of nurturing personal relationships over the ephemeral allure of technology and consumerism. Yet, the purpose of your poem soars as a vibrant celebration of a way of life that prioritizes meaningful personal connections, nature\'s wisdom, and simplicity over the dizzying distractions and complexities of modern technology and consumer culture. It stands as a profound critique of modernity while passionately advocating for a return to life\'s simpler, richer pleasures.

Soren, this is excellent, my friend. Food, land, neighbors, and time are all reclaimed on your own terms. The absence of convenience doesn’t feel like loss…it feels like clarity. A solid, affirming piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write, Sorenbarrett. Coming from town with some supplies to our farm, my grandfather would point out, \"This is as far as the electricity goes,\" as we passed the last pole miles from the farm, with water fetched from a spring and no indoor plumbing. I chose to poop from a tree, what with the spiders and all eager to catch gnats attracted to a hole full of shit.

There are similarities between this poem and \"The Prisoner of Chillon\" by Byron (1788-1824).

Freedom in chains
Soman Ragavan said:
This poem resembles the plight many people feel. It is apparent freedom, but we are really in chains, invisible chains. Even the internet has been weaponized to track people, to store what they have written. It is this tendency of Man to imprison others.

It reflects on how simple life can be, if one were to try. I am unsure if I am interpreting it the best it can be, but it reminds one of how comfortable older ways can be.

Sounds idyllic, lost to nature and loving it.
Though I feel you\'re missing out. So I\'m sending a few chaps who sell insurance, double glazing, fix your roof, oh, and wait for it, the Jehovah\'s will pop by for a little chat.

There are many things we can learn from others including nature. I remember being told that if you could see the lighter sides of leaves, rain would be coming. And I’m sure most of us know the “Red sky at night sailors delight, red sky in morning sailors take warning.” It’s definitely a good idea to pay attention to what’s going on around us. Great poem Soren, you never disappoint.

Soren, this poem weaves instinct, nature, and foresight into a single current. From ancestral memory to subtle bodily warning, it reminds us that we are still part of the old rhythms. Quietly prophetic and deeply grounded. Beautiful work, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I sort of recall our resident weather forecaster telling us there was no hurricane coming.
Then the hurricane hit, and the dogs abuse he got that day, they still talk about it now.
Humans, animals, intelligence, I wonder.

This feels ancestral, like knowledge older than language stirring awake.
You tap into instinct here, and it hums with quiet authority.

Your poem explores the deep connection between humanity and nature, highlighting the instinctual and ancestral knowledge that resides within us. It emphasizes the idea that people possess an innate awareness of their environment, shaped by ancestral experiences and memories.

Ants and birds know in advance coming changes of weather. Ants build higher. They also get energetic, hurrying along. Birds get frantic and stock up on food, knowing it might get scarce. Snails can smell coming storms and they climb up walls, avoiding the ground. The higher they rise, the heavier will be the rain, eg during cyclones. I have personally noticed all this around me.
In the US there was a case of a child who was travelling with his parents in the car. Passing in front of a house he said he felt something was wrong in there. Back at home he insisted that they go back and check. It turned out that someone was sick or injured and needed medical help…

Soren, this is a strong piece, my friend. The ebb between clarity and obscurity mirrors the inner weather so well, and the image of undrinkable abundance gives the whole piece its emotional gravity. It is contemplative, unresolved, and deeply human. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem revolves around the ephemeral nature of inspiration and creativity, likened to mist and rain. The poet experiences moments of clarity and confusion, suggesting that creative thoughts can be elusive and difficult to grasp. reflects the relationship between inspiration (the \"cloud\" and \"rain\") and the struggle to capture and refine those ideas (the need for purification and filtration).
