Another interesting read and more than superficial depth. I really liked the writing style and the parallels drawn. It\'s interesting because the simulation hypothesis believers out there would very much lean towards us being in a magic show. I keep an open mind.

Hello, Soren,
The duality, the is, the botanical and anthropological in metaphorical association, bound for the inevitable whilst nourishing their growth, spreading their seed for the next generation in the cyclical nature of life. The living and dying together and how we are all connected, both plant and animal in this well wrought and insightful verse rendered forth with a wonderful understanding of the poetic form. Excellent.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony.

Well written. Your poem seems to reflect the unpredictable nature of life. The Magic Show\" revolves around the illusionary nature of life, suggesting that our existence is akin to a magical performance where reality is obscured by deception and trickery. The poet explores themes of perception versus reality, the fleeting nature of time, and how we cope with the unknown. The poet\'s matter includes references to magic tricks—like sleight of hand, hidden elements, and illusions—metaphorically representing the complexities and misdirections of life.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this utters wisdom with ancient breath. The fig becomes more than a tree...it’s all of us dreaming high and cracking in the wind. “When you were small you dreamed to be tall”…that line hit me like memory. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹👏 A fave for sure.

There is indeed a metaphor with humans. Humans, too, want to grow bigger and taller.
--\"High regions are never without storms.\"
--\"The higher you rise, the bigger the fall.\"
--\"High places have their precipices.\"
--\"The highest tree has the greatest fall.\"
From the book \"3000 proverbs\" by Sam Phillips.

Nicely said. The poem \"Forest Fig\" embodies themes of growth, resilience, and the natural cycle of life, inspiring us to reflect on the journey of a tree, symbolizing the aspirations, struggles, and eventual transformation of living beings. The tree\'s evolution from a wild, free entity into a more brittle state invites a sense of nostalgia and contemplation about life\'s impermanence, the cyclical nature of existence, and the interconnectedness of all living things, uplifting us to cherish life\'s precious journey.

Insignificant
NafisaSB said:
even if alone, man alone has the capacity to make an impact, and a small significant change by his existence...no one is insignificant, not even the smallest being - each has its own niche and part to play in the universe - so stand up and be counted - you may feel you are small in the grand scheme of things - yes we are small - but we do have a purpose which we were born to fulfill

Throwing stones, where to hide so many hands? Inner judgment is the best judgment, the one we must face. Thank you so much for sharing. A great reflection and splendid writing. Best regards, Cor.

A reluctance to take responsibility, and then to accept accountability seems to be pervasive these days, especially in the upper eschalons of our society, dare I say government. At what point did we lose our moral compass. Great and thought provoking write!

You wrote a poem with long, sharp fangs, Soren. My kind of poem! Each line flips the blame with precision…like watching denial unravel in real time. “Blame the hammer striking the thumb”—yeah. You don’t miss. Beautifully done. 🌹👏

What a fierce cascade of inversion,“Why Me?” reads like a howl against moral misdirection and the failure to confront true culpability.

Well written, I firmly believe that we are all guilty of this; it is an intrinsic aspect of human behavior. We all engage in this behavior. I do not think that any single individual can be ruled out. Your poem \"Why Me!\" addresses the theme of misplaced blame and the human tendency to assign responsibility for our own suffering or failures to external forces rather than recognizing our own roles in these situations. It critiques the irrationality of blaming inanimate objects or the vulnerable for the consequences of our actions. The poet explores the idea of accountability and the absurdity of blaming others or inanimate objects for our own choices and outcomes. The imagery evokes violence, hardship, and the struggle for understanding in the face of suffering.
