I really liked this, arqios. It has that strange feeling of catching something just before it disappears, even though you’re not quite sure what you caught. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This poem a sandwich held together with the glue of emotion. It creates a soft and distant feeling in the first further developed in the second now human and finishes with a return to nature now riper in the third. The transition scarcely felt but there is a quiet aging here a melancholy sense of the past. Well done and so subtly done

This one had me nodding, arqios. I may know what I brought to a poem when I wrote it, but I can\'t possibly know everything another person will bring when they read it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Many a time I\'ve Read a Poem and thought: \'That\'s a good Idea\'. But wrote it in my own words of course. A good Write.

Lovely my friend so much said in so little an allegory and a lesson. We often think we are stealing or that someone steals from us but ideas are free and belong to no one they may be altered and perceived in different ways. Only direct copying of a work is plagiarism if not done with proper citation and credit being given. A lovely write my friend cast so nicely in example it softens the blow of taking from another. I have always felt that the highest form of flattery was someone taking what one did and copying it, a fave

As I\'ve always said \' There\'s nothing new under the Sun\'. Or did someone else say that?
A good Write.

This is most powerful Cryptic it speaks to guilty hearts everywhere. Stolen lines. Another\'s thoughts and work taken credit for a crime. The call it plagiarism and a crime of great shame it is but where does it start and end. A faint memory, an unconscious association, something read long ago that seems your own. Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun but to knowingly take from the wearied mind of an old poet does or at least should leave some feeling of guilt. A fave my friend.
