Cryptic this poem seems to emphasize that transient and non-permanent nature of peace nicely done

Dang it! I been trying to write on sand in this sandstorm. I\'m getting nowhere! lol. That might be some deep insight or metaphor of your poem, but I\'ve not the foggiest idea of what it might be. No change there then for me.

Well written. My brain is working today . Your poem reflects on the duality of being involved in societal issues, the significance of peace, and the fleeting nature of existence.

I\'m not going to think about it - I\'ll ask:

On this other site, you were locked out by management, right? Here, management are, I think very benign. I personally have only been chastised once, my comment only removed which in retrospect was justified. They can and have removed the occasional \'poet\'. However I could not see you coming anywhere near that eventuality.

Cryptic I take that some people read way too much into things and I may do this as well but I think the secret is to realize that one\'s interpretation of view is not the only valid one and not impose meaning that was never meant. Probably another misinterpretation but that is what I see.

For me this can go either of two ways. The actors namely the people are liars and really not concerned with truth or it is a metaphor for life. Life is filled with mendacity. Lies upon lies. This is a great poem because it creates a great image from the outset. Enjoyed reading

arqios, that image of a space left imperfect…still bearing the marks of use…really stayed with me. It gives the whole piece a lived-in truth that feels undeniable. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The cast of the world and how we all portray ourselves to the world, either what we think they want to see or what we are prepared to show, but as with all things, the truth is rarely forthcoming and remains hidden behind the masks and the layers we build, pleasure to read

Very clever and deep write, learning to understand from our behaviour and mistakes, in order to prevent us heading onto that slippery slope. Something that would benifit us all if we all learnt to do that, pleasure to read

Excellent job, your poem addresses the act of revealing one\'s true self while navigating social expectations. It portrays a scene where people come together, not in elaborate costumes, but in the everyday layers of their identities, highlighting how they present themselves to the world.

Cryptic your work has grown deeper. To me this is the description of art revealed the common made viewable truth or not it is revealed different to each viewers eye. A fave my friend
