Bearded sonnet
Neville said:

Made me chuckle so ya did .. Here one just for thee sir ..


Shall I grow a beard for thee
A little Shakespeare one perchance

Or if you would I rather
I will sport a Che Guevara

If tho the thought has got ya thinkin
What about an old Abe Lincoln

Just a small one on my chin
Three hairs no more like Hoe Chi Min

Hans Lanseth’s beard was something else
He couldn’t fit it in his house

A Da Vince or Van Dyke maybe
More attractive tho just wait and see ..

Bearded sonnet
Friendship said:

Your poem \"Bearded Sonnet\" is a powerful exploration of the dynamic relationship between personal identity, societal expectations, and the passage of time, as embodied by the poet\'s beard. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of life experiences, struggles, and individuality, while fearlessly confronting societal norms that often seek to dictate personal appearance. Which explores the growth of the poet\'s beard over the course of a year, using it as a metaphor for the accumulation of memories, emotions, and life experiences. It celebrates themes of pride in one\'s identity, the tension between personal expression and societal pressure, and the resilience that comes from embracing one\'s unique journey. Overall serves as a commentary on the pressure to conform to societal norms regarding appearance and the importance of embracing one’s individuality and life experiences, as embodied by the beard. It challenges the notion of cutting away parts of oneself to fit in, advocating for pride in one’s history and identity.

God read, sorenbarrett. I grew a full beard once. My hair grows so haphazardly. Grows in some places and not in others: darts here and there, and it has a total mind of its own.

I was telling my wife yesterday how I wanted to trim my beard down. Now reading this poem I would rather grow it out. Thanks for the inspiration

This ripples with alchemy; lightning etching mortal traces, language liquefying into streams that both reveal and distort. What’s upright bends in the reflection, truth and falsehood trading places, while the delicate drag of a quill ferries the remnants of thought into the current, carrying them toward some unseen confluence.

That image of “letters fall in drops of words forming streams into puddles of nouns and verbs” caught me most. It’s vivid, almost tactile…language becoming liquid. Brilliant, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏

Friendship said:

The poem touches on themes of memory, mortality, and the fluidity of meaning. It suggests that as individuals navigate life, the way they articulate their experiences—through language—can alter perceptions of right and wrong, as well as reality itself. Your poem aims to provoke thought about the relationship between language, memory, and identity, encouraging readers to reflect on how they communicate their own experiences and perceptions.

Enjoyed. Many a time I look at a peaceful field that looks so quiet and still. But within the Grass and bushes there\'s a War going on where all sorts of insects are fighting for survival and for food. Something we never realise. Good one.
