Nice one. I used to Hollow out a Turnip also when younger. Now it\'s all Commercial.
When Kids come to the door dressed as Witches; I sometimes would like to answer it as Mathew Hopkins : Witchfinder General. Give THEM a fright.

I really liked the write, but it is just another chance to ring those pennies out of you, thousands of people celebrating something that they have no idea the history off, have a great weekend

Halloween
Friendship said:

The poem \"Halloween\" delves into the historical roots and transformation of Halloween customs, underscoring the dichotomy between the ancient rituals associated with the holiday and their contemporary interpretations. It examines the interplay of cultural beliefs, spirituality, and the evolution of the celebration over time, encompassing All Hallows\' Eve, the significance of costumes and masks, the tradition of trick-or-treating, and the symbolism of jack-o-lanterns. Furthermore, the poem explores the darker aspects of the holiday, including its connections to mortality and the supernatural.

Wow! Would it be wrong if I unpacked it as an allegorical poem on desecration of the spirit of Halloween due to commercial gains?

Ahh, a fine poem describing KP and her deeds - or \'antics!\' lol. She needs no Halloween masks. Scary enough without them. Is there a shortage of pumpkins apart from Halloween time? lol.

The day for the dead to explain their plight.
Have you noticed the trick or treaters are turning up to your door with card machines now?
What the hell is happening out there.

Tyrant
Poetic Licence said:

The force and power of nature when unleashed is usually because of something man has done to provoke it or a natural occurrence. The force and power of the tyrant is violently displayed with no provacation except the danger of losing that power. Interesting write z enjoyed the read

Tyrant
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, “Tyrant” moves like thunder with a conscience...nature, God, and humanity all collapsing into one figure of control. The storm becomes the empire, the empire becomes the storm, and only after destruction does it whisper absolution: “Punishment death, the dead forgiven.” 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛ Well done!

Some they say, you know he\'s coming like a hurricane, let\'s get running.
But once let in, the end is nigh, it\'s time to die.

Friendship said:

Well-written, Soren Barrett, the poem \"Tyrant\" explores themes of power, oppression, and the consequential impacts of climate change. It portrays a tyrannical force—possibly a metaphor for nature or authority—exerting control through violent imagery. The subject matter reflects the intersection of human conflict and environmental devastation, suggesting that both can lead to suffering and death. Yet your poem is to provoke thought about the consequences of neglecting both the planet and the structures of power that govern human relations, urging readers to recognize the interconnectedness of these challenges

My dearest Soren I did enjoy reading this here. Your correlations with lightning and thunder is an exact. Amazing written.
You’ve stated “ With hurricane breath orders given Punishment death, the dead forgiven”
I’d have to say, your play on words here is intriguing. I, well for me, it’s like it reeled me in. For me this line of my favorite or choosing it’s a “audience pull” it’s giving that feel.
🥂👏🏻 Overall beautiful with every word. A daunting write. 💯

This is a poem of beautiful unease. Sleep and death blur into one gentle gesture...the soul asking for silence, not escape. You make stillness feel holy, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Friendship said:

This poem is about the struggle with insomnia—an inability to find peace or rest in life. It captures a universal human experience, resonating with anyone who has felt overwhelmed by their circumstances. The poem might be set in a contemporary context, focusing on the emotional and psychological challenges of modern living, where the pressures of life can lead to sleeplessness and a desire for escape. This poem could stem from a need to articulate and process these feelings of despair, highlighting the tension between the desire for escape through sleep and the harshness of reality.

It aint gonna happen .. I aint gonna let it happen .. I\'ve got ya back covered & if necessary am happy to prescribe a soothing balm or a pack of dubble strength nitrazepam or summat .. failing that & you wanna be totally independent .. I believe they might slip you some OTC Nytol at the local pharmacy .. All joking aside, I don\'t know anyone who hasn\'t felt similarly from time to time .. so keep ya chin up and write on . you do it so well .. Neville

Many a time I\'ve gone to bed just to get rid of that day, hoping the next day would somehow cancel yesterday out.
Strangely enough, it never happened. I can see why people wear blinkers in the world now.
