Awakening
arqios said:
Wow, it felt like the moment of leaving behind the illusions of dreams and confronting reality. The shimmering beauty of fantasy fades, replaced by the tarnished, rusted surface of the waking world. It’s about the bittersweet shift from comforting illusions to the harsher truths of everyday life. Fantastic moment in poetry. 🙏🕊️

Why do people disturb you when you\'re having a good dream?
Why are all my nightmares about the taxman.

Good write A. Some dreams can seem so real. When we wake up, we may say \'aww\' if it was a nice dream, or say \'phew\' in relief, if it was a bad dream.

Fine words soren, life can change in a moment, and with age it gets slower and more confusing.

Once
arqios said:
I really liked the way “Once” mixes regret with sharp, surreal images. The shifts from youth and love into satire, presidents on pills, poets with hoses all make it feel like a dream unraveling into absurdity. That final turn with Charon’s coins ties it all back to mortality and wasted chances. It’s raw, witty, and haunting all at once. Thanks for putting it out there. 🙏🕊️

I love the way you\'re able to write and even in historical events as time passes no matter whose eyes it sees through very well written

It’s irreverent, philosophical, and a little unhinged....the holy trinity, imho. Every stanza bends logic to confession. A hell of a ride, my friend. Loved it! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Just been told my ailment is not life threatening - that means I\'ve got to put up with myself for a few years yet - however this superb surrealist write helps make it worthwhile.

Where does life get to?
Yesterday I was young, and now the stairs are attacking me.
Okay, just found an online potion that takes 50 years off you, I\'m sorted.

Oh my! I hope your foot is doing better. I imagined the retreat indoors was to retrieve cans of bug spray for a Rambo offensive. But that\'s just me. 🕊️🙏

Thief, priest and engineer
arqios said:
This is so clever! I am taken by the contrast between fear, faith, and reason. They make the story feel like a parable, and that final moment where the engineer’s knowledge seals his fate is both ironic and darkly funny. A much enjoyed, sharp little poem that balances history with humour. 🙏🕊️

Oh, to be like water itself. This is probably my present life challenge. That would bring a flow and calm beauty and grace. Thanks for this superbly thoughtful poem. 🙏🕊️

The phrase \"blood and snot\" stood out excruciatingly to me; such a raw and evocative vision! I feel the lamenting of innocence and the critique on what pride and greed have done to our world. 🕊️🙏

The world is changing before our eyes. Even in Britain, farmers will complain of overly warm weather, rain at the wrong time.
I think we now realise, what one country does can impact on countries thousand of miles away.
The Amazon rain forest is a prime example, it breathes for us.
