An easy fave 👏

Rules. They are pushed sometimes. This read had a good point of the soverignty of rule makers and the consequences of chains. Remarkable.

Great little rhymer Soren. While I do get the Macbeth reference (done him at school) I would think any rose cultivator would be pricked by this one. Me? I\'ll stick with geraniums....

Soren, this is satire rooted in rot. Shakespearean ghosts, martial language, and the blunt pragmatism of fertilizer all collide to show how decay, neglect, and remedy coexist. It’s clever, irreverent, and pointed…as well played as Lady Macbeth herself! Fabulous write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The biggest threat to my garden is unfortunately me, I\'m like the mad scythe guy.
Plans are forming in my head for this year, and already I can see the garden in the distance legging it.

Why did it make me feel royalty and roses are as useful as each other? Of course I am wrong 😞. Loved it.

capitalisation both of language and economy. A far-reaching meditation, much enjoyed Soren. 🕊️🙏

Soren, this is smart wordplay with teeth. Ice melting, value shrinking, presence becoming unwelcome…the metaphor slides seamlessly into current realities without losing its footing. It’s understated, pointed, and effective. Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

A very powerful poem with a hidden meaning. Ice unfortunately can’t tolerate spice and as we all know, milk is what really cures it. Great poem Soren.

The imagery here is sly and observational—mundane details stretched into small philosophical questions.
That ice becomes almost existential, melting under scrutiny, makes the ordinary feel surprisingly sharp and witty.

Clever composition. The hot spicy food needs ice, which should be served along the dish. Mexican food is known to be hot and spicy.

What an ethereal poem Soren. I cannot express how beautiful this is. The way that it can be read all together and separately is truly amazing work. I also enjoyed how they are similar but vastly different all on their own. What a talent you have, definitely one of my favorites.

Always like something different, catches the imagination.
You\'re on another level with this one.
Expect it to be pinched at some point in the future.

Soren, this poem moves as if light were a pendulum. Dawn to dusk, blaze to shadow, struggle to release…the structure itself enacts the passage it describes. The closing lift back into light feels earned and calm. Strong work, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
