Tree and the lily
Soman Ragavan said:
This is like a fable of the French writer La Fontaine. We don\'t know the value of what we have until we lose it.... In four lines the poem has passed a valuable message to all humanity. We prize not what we have until we lose it...

That\'s Lily for you, just never happy.
Wonder if the tree mentioned to the Lily. Don\'t worry you won\'t be here long.

Car of rust
Paul Bell said:
Cars like the woman all go south at some point, and no paint job or overhaul is going to fix it.
Still got the pictures and the memories and that keeps you going.
Do like the smell of new cars, not sure if I could break a new woman in mind you.

You\'ve just reminded me that there is something to be said for public transport. The picture of you stood beside a heap of metal with your memories is complete, Soren.

Soren, the layered deterioration reads like more than machinery…it feels autobiographical in spirit. The junkyard priest blessing its end, the overheating climb, the unseen lease…all of it builds toward that final line of refusal. Worn down, but still loved. Powerful metaphor, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Objects do you have a soul that attaches itself to our soul and offers us this power to love ?

Nicely written, Soren. Your poem is about the love for an old, dilapidated vehicle that serves as a metaphor for aging and the inevitable decline of possessions, as well as the emotional weight that can come with such attachments. The poet reflects on the passage of time and the deterioration of both a physical object (the old vehicle) and the nostalgic memories it evokes. It explores themes of attachment, loss, and the difficulty of letting go of something that once held great value.

The speaker’s emotional attachment to the personified car, combined with the revelation that it was only ever on lease—an idea that suggests we do not truly own our bodies or our lives—creates a thoughtful meditation on aging, attachment, and mortality. The extended metaphor is skillfully sustained.

I find I do detest bugs, but I similarly feel guilty after killing them... I like the way you explain this!

Soren, I’ve felt that kind of inner drone…the noise that won’t quiet no matter how hard you thrash. The repetition here mirrors that perfectly. It feels like wrestling conscience itself…messy, loud, unavoidable. You captured that unrest with force. Great job on this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely written. Your poem \"Pests\" revolves around the metaphor of flies as a representation of guilt, annoyance, and degradation that comes from personal sins and societal lies. The poem reflects on how these “pests” invade one’s life, paralleling the way guilt and the consequences of our actions can linger and overwhelm us.

The poem’s use of flies as a symbol of guilt and moral decay conveys the inescapable nature of sin and the speaker’s struggle toward atonement—all in just eight lines. Really well done.
