There are all types of good fortune. Some people get discovered and become stars, others work just as hard and never get an audition. If your poem is factual, your good fortune is keeping you alive. I liked your poem. The construction was unique. More importantly, it asks a penetrating question we all wonder about. - Phil A.

It seems that you were destined for greater things so a bee sting though very painful should be taken in your stride
A bit on the gloomy side but a good read

The age old question, why? We can analyze all the factors but in the end perhaps it\'s just, because. How can we explain what we can\'t possibly understand. You gave me a really good think over this one. Excellent!

A question always pondered, is it just pure luck or do some people have something else protecting them, enjoyed the read

There are some strange names which mean strange things to others, and example is my Mary, she is Mary Berry, NO NOT THAT ONE! But when she joined n=my croquet club it was mentioned in the Croquet Magazine that Mary Berry had joined the club and we had an email from another club asking her to come down and open a new lawn for them.

There\'s a great truth hidden in this text, and the symbolic content of the words can imprint inevitable destinies. I really liked the way it unfolds. Thank you so much for sharing it. Best regards.

This poem plays with the irony and sting of names, where humour barely disguises a deeper commentary on how identity can be shaped (or skewered) by what we’re called. The rhythm is punchy, the tone offhanded, but there’s a flicker of empathy beneath the laughs, especially in the image of Harry enduring hallway ridicule. It reminds us how names can both anchor us and expose us, sometimes through no fault of our own. In its brevity and wit, it delivers a small, strange truth: we don’t choose our labels, but they often choose how the world sees us.

Yes - inappropriate name inflicted should be an indicator to the recipient that the genes they inherited are not worth perpetuating.......🤣

Enjoyable read, its amazing how much effort some people put into deciding a name, only to then choose one that is guaranteed to make their childs life a misery, nicely done

All been said above, actually. As usual, I came late to the party. I don\'t know where you find the energy and time here Soren, but I for one am really glad you do.

Your poem masterfully weaves chaos and order, challenging nature and morality with striking imagery. The raw power of your words forces us to confront humanity’s contradictions—creation and destruction, unity and conflict. A thought-provoking piece that lingers long after reading.

This is brilliant, Soren. Truly. The depth packed into each line caught me off guard—in the best way. It’s tight, sharp, and layered with insight. Form and message are completely in sync. You’ve delivered something powerful here, my friend. 🌹🔥👏

Good write SB. Erm, I\'ve not quite got the hang of the title - argghhh! do ya hear me? I turned out the lights and fell down the stairs! (Did I? heehee). It\'s that old Orchi mucking about again, says Fido. Of course, I deeply MISunderstood the poem. heehee.

“Turn out the lights” feels like a challenge to how we define progress, truth, and morality. It warns that technology and power, when used without wisdom, can lead us to destroy nature and lose our values. It shows how victory often decides what’s considered right or wrong, and how we use belief to protect ourselves from truths we don’t want to face. In the end, it reminds us that we hold the power to choose between creation and destruction. 🕊️🙏🏻
