Vengeance
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this is a wickedly clever piece…part dark fairy tale, part revenge myth. The transformation of the lover into the biting fly is such a striking idea, and the image of him rising again from the flames keeps the whole story locked in that endless cycle of consequence. It’s grim, imaginative, and very much your style. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem posed a notable challenge in its writing style. The themes of jealousy, revenge, and the cyclical nature of love and punishment are thoroughly explored in your work. You illustrate how jealousy can lead to destructive actions, resulting in an endless cycle of vengeance that ultimately harms both parties. On the other hand, the poem functions as a cautionary tale regarding the destructive nature of jealousy and the futility of revenge, emphasizing the emotional turmoil that can stem from betrayal. It prompts readers to contemplate the consequences of their actions and the cyclical nature of love and jealousy.

The message I get from between the lines is: acceptance and perspective. You never stated it - such a great skill.

You are welcome. We will notice that animals and trees develop survival strategies. In very cold, snowy climates, trees hibernate. If they try to fight back winter they will probably lose. So, they shed their leaves and hunker down, save energy, waiting for spring to come back. In spring they feel renewed. Flowers and fruits will sprout out again. In some cases, the seeds that fall to the ground sprout into new trees. Or, the roots underground move away and come up as new trees at some distance away. Thus, renewal is programmed. There is one particular shrub that produces light pods in which the seeds are found. When the pod breaks up, each seed comes out with fluffy stuff like a parachute. The wind blows that thing away and it alights at another place where it will grow up as a new tree. Thus, this dispersion is a strategy for giving more chances to the tree to reproduce itself.

Soren, this reads like a poetic anatomy of a tree…from roots to breath to rings of time. The cosmic language of starlight, air, and atmosphere elevates the tree from simple plant to something almost mythic. It becomes both life-giver and silent historian of the world around it. A rich reflection. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

\"Grandeur broken by the force of gravity\" : It has been said \"Five feet of earth make all men equal.\" Underground, the creepy crawlies not not distinguish or recognise the humblest or the mightiest. It\'s the same dinner...
Gravity vanquishes all. Even low flying objects or spacecraft in orbit. They all come crashing down. It is so with all living beings, including human. It has been said \"The highest tree has the biggest fall.\"

Soren, this carries a sharp honesty about the cost of putting real life onto the page. The line about poets spilling their blood on living parchment rolls is the image that stayed with me. It captures how personal writing can feel…like pieces of a life laid openly on the page. Reading this made me think about how exposing real emotion in writing always carries risk. When someone shares something honest, it’s never just words…it’s part of themselves. Your poem captures that tension between vulnerability and judgment really well. Thought-provoking piece, my friend and a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A powerful statement. Your poem explores the duality of criticism and its impact on the human experience. It juxtaposes the pain and suffering that come from judgment and scrutiny with the fleeting joys and emotions that accompany love and creativity. The emphasis is on the destructive nature of criticism and the vulnerability of those who create art. On the other hand, the poem serves as a cathartic reflection on the nature of criticism, urging readers to consider the impact of their words on others. It advocates for empathy and understanding in the face of vulnerability.

Criticism is complicated. I mean an educated critique is one thing but just giving a personal opinion is a waste especially if it is negative. A touch of anger and despair in this powerful work.

Good write SB. There\'s a bit in older Bible versions in the Old Testament of \'Destroying enemies; even every one that pisseth against a wall\' - i.e. males! It sounds a gross way of putting it, but probably derogatory, as in, e.g. \'the whole lot of you enemies will be destroyed; you\'ve had your final chance\'.
