Catinga was his name
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this piece is unforgettable. You build him from stench, stagger, and worn shoes, a man derided and reviled. Yet the final turn...that toothless grin, innocence shining despite a world gone wild...redeems the whole portrait. A character both broken and whole, disgrace on the outside yet grace within. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Loved your first stanza it made me chuckle at the imagery, hey we have a few like this in London too, as I have an enormous compassion and empathy, your last stanza made me think, we are all different but in the end we are all the same, we are human yet very rarely does one find the treatment the same, easy to hate easy to judge kindness is definitely a reward to those who give it, and those less fortunate who receive it. 🌹 A powerful piece that brings reflections to the reader.

Read the line \"Inside undefiled by a world gone wild,\" quite a few times. I don\'t know why it really spoke...
Perhaps that line brought about the contrast..

Well-written. Never judge a book by its cover. This poem revolves around the juxtaposition of societal judgment and the intrinsic worth of an individual, illustrated through the character of Catinga. The subject matter delves into themes of poverty, alienation, and the innocence that can exist despite external circumstances. Catinga, although reviled and marginalized by society, embodies a certain wisdom and purity that contrasts sharply with the disdain he receives from others. The poem invites readers to reconsider notions of value and dignity, suggesting that true worth lies beyond superficial appearances and societal standards.

This is a dense, symbolic, and highly reflective poem. Nicely written.

My friend, I’ve seen seeds like this grow…isolation spreading where trust once lived. You’ve captured that hard truth with honesty. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The central idea of the poem revolves around the destructive nature of greed and selfishness, which undermine community and compassion. It contrasts individuality with the collective good, highlighting how self-serving actions can lead to isolation and a loss of trust. The subject matter delves into the metaphor of a plant growing from a seed of greed, illustrating how negative traits can stifle growth and hope, ultimately resulting in despair.

Soren, this one struck deep. Very powerful. The musty cloth and dirt feel like despair itself, yet you strip it back to hope. That final image...crust of dirt falling like a forgiven sin...lingers long after reading. Honest and redemptive, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is like out with the old, in with the new.
Yet it goes slightly deeper, and maybe forgiveness comes hard.

Some poems leave no choice other than a resounding fave. The lines \"rain of despair need cleaning in spring\'s bright air\"- how I wish I could have thought something like those. But that\'s wishful thinking. The bow has to be to the master. Not a good poem, but a great one.

This piece is humorous and lively but kind of sad. A comically foolish yet endearing man whose greed and poor judgment lead him into trouble. From childhood, but he also has a mischievous charm that makes people smile. Nicely written. ✨
