Dinner with an old friend
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow! A profound poem, my friend. I love the complex, multi-layered nature of this and how it uses surreal imagery and dark symbolism to explore its themes, as I read it, of loss, memory, and the lingering ghost of those who died. Your note was very helpful in keeping me from pulling out the old dictionary. I knew what a flesh monger was, but I confess, I\'ve never encountered a tosher before! I suppose I would have known standing downwind! 🤣 For me (again, not sure if I am on the mark or not), the tosher represents a friend or a person who was on the margins in one way or another. I am not sure if I am anywhere remotely close on this, but it is what came across to me when I read it! Well done, Soren! ❤️🙏

When the muse is with you, how great that can feel. Mine is lazy and I have far more scribbles half started than I’ve ever posted. This reminds me how I can start with a couple of good lines only for them to descend into cast offs. Nothing cast off here sorenbarrett. Some great imagery.

As someone with major seasonal allergies, I started to sniffle reading this one! Just glad you chose roses over lilac! 🤣 Well done, my friend. Your descriptions are second to none! 🌹👏

Oh to be outdoors and free, be it in a humble back garden rose bed… the exhilaration is beyond description but you have done so in poem! 🌹🌹🌹

You have uncovered the rose and it\'s mystical beauty my dear friend. Like everything in our lives time takes its toll. 🌹

Man this hits home for me. The last couple of nights (though it may not seem like it because I keep publishing) have been muse wakes for me. I go, I pay my respects, I try to write something...anything...cannot do it. Depression certainly does not help. Anywho, if this poem is the resurrected \"trash\", I\'ll become a raccoon any day, my friend. This was superbly written! Well done! 🌹👏

Thanks heavens a wake will never be held for The Muse!
Some great lines here Soren. It almost feels like you are writing backwards, if that makes sense?!
