Hello Soren,
The accursed hourglass, no matter which way you turn it, it just keeps flowing. You have captured \'time\' succinctly in poetic perception and skill. Very well done indeed.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Time is the one thing that we cannot, but would love to, control. Such a perfect metaphor in the hourglass. Beautifully versed my friend!

This gem is stripped to the bone…lean, direct, and all the stronger for it. Like a diamond in the rough. That image of crawling in circles twice a day says so much with so little. You’ve bottled time itself here, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem revolves around the transient nature of life and the futility of trying to hold onto fleeting moments. It reflects on how we often desire things that are unattainable while grappling with the inevitability of time and loss. Sand in a bottle serves as a metaphor for time and experiences that are difficult to hold onto. Your poem likely aims to provoke thought about the human condition, encouraging readers to reflect on their own desires and the inevitability of time passing. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and sorrow inherent in existence.

Wear your scars (physical, mental and emotional) with pride. Afterall they\'re a huge part of making you who you are.

In writing the metaphor \" broken trophy\" you spent your literary treasure.
Nothing is permanent.
In fact, we have to embrace death in order to live.

A fine write SB. I\'m horrible in saying - Ahhh, a super list of things to give to KP for Ch......! lol. Woof! You don\'t really mean it, says Fido to me.
I recite that magpie thingy to her, but it goes: One for sorrow, two for sorrow, three for sorrow, etc. hehehe.

Going through life without scars would be boring. I have mental and physical scars, I cherish it all. Another wonderful theme my dear sorrenbarret 🌹

Your poem \"Broken\" explores the theme of loss and the impermanence of beauty, reflecting on how something once pristine can become tarnished and undesirable due to life\'s struggles and conflicts. It explores the feelings of regret and melancholy associated with deterioration, both physical and emotional. The metaphor of a broken trophy symbolizes dreams or relationships that have been damaged or diminished over time. I relate to the human experience of feeling flawed or defeated after facing challenges.

I know I\'m wrong but I see this as people discarding items and people just because they are not perfect, instead of seeing beauty in everything, enjoyed the read

Soren, this feels like brushing the dust off history itself. 😏 Each fragment you name is more than relic…it’s a story stripped down to its bones and the ending feels like a seal pressed into ancient wax. Nicely done and I hope all has been well in my absence!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Myths aren\'t meant to die, they are unique and unknowing in truth mysteriously fun and annoying I guess we all enjoy them, I enjoy that of the lochness. A wonderful write, much to think about. 🌹

That’s hauntingly beautiful poem is rich in imagery and layered with melancholy. It reads like an archaeological excavation of time itself, where each line delicately uncovers a relic of a world lost, forgotten, or abandoned. It evokes the tension between what once was and what now remains, hinting at the futility of searching for life in bones and meaning in silence.

Your poem posed a considerable challenge, requiring five readings to grasp its nuances. While I\'m still slightly uncertain, I think I\'ve gained a reasonable understanding. The early morning hour may not be ideal for tackling intricate literary twists. Your poem explores the concept of loss and the remnants of the past, suggesting that what once held significance has transformed into mere echoes or artifacts. You seem to reflect on the idea that history, wisdom, and memories can fade into obscurity, ultimately becoming \"nothing anymore,\" delving into the remains of the past—physical objects like bones, pottery, and papyrus—symbolizing the remnants of knowledge and experience that you once had meaning. The imagery evokes in me a sense of nostalgia and the inevitability of time erasing the importance of what once was.

I am thinking on this one, I am not sure of the real meaning of the write. my first thought is off today everything that has gone before is irrelevant and means nothing to people in the modern world, as we are only interested in the now, anyway I still enjoyed the read
