You know William of Ockham, or of Occam? He lived in the UK, some distance from my home town, but in the South of the UK (1287-1347).

We lie to you because the truth would hurt you.
I think Churchill said. \'\'The truth is protected by a bodyguard of lies.
Starmer highlighted it perfectly yesterday.

Always liked (even if I was unsure how to spell it – which is an indication of the depth of my understanding) Occam’s razor, when utilized in scientific debate. However when used to arbitrate on my personal perceptions, I think I’m in a wee bit of trouble. The phrase “made me think” which was the go a while back here irritated me, but in this instance I believe I will resort to it!

Yes, I was gonna fly with a poem, and literally as The Birdman, but I crashed! lol.
How many times I gotta jump off this cliff before anyone, or myself, realises I can\'t fly? lol.

arqios, this is gentle and affirming. It carries a quiet confidence about creation, letting patience and care do the work. That calm strength really lands. Excellent job and a tremendous use of metaphor, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem explores the transformative power of creativity, emphasizing how discarded thoughts and experiences can evolve into something beautiful and meaningful, akin to the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

she rides the wind
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dearest friend, this reads like an unfolding myth...in real time. Nature, spirit, and transformation braided together, not romanticized but respected. The force you describe unsettles and compels in equal measure. A striking piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
She moves like a storm made flesh—beautiful, dangerous, and utterly alive.
You can almost feel the chill in your bones, yet you wouldn’t want her any other way.

I love nature and respect her, her force is undeniable and unstoppable. The wind the earths cleaning lady sweeps all and leaves it polished. A lovely poem my friend that has force and deeper meaning. A poem after my own heart and a fave

Montgomery Slyde - don\'t know if he is a historical character or something you made up. Honestly it doesn\'t matter. What matters are lines like:
\"his shoes rehearsing
arguments against the floorboards.\"
Some poems demand to be recognised with \'fave\'. This one is one of them.

Arqios, Montgomery Slyde is a study in performed confidence. Bravado, memory, and myth prop him up just long enough to bow before the fall. The poem never condemns him…it simply watches, and that restraint is powerful. Excellent work, dearest friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Arqios, this is stark and contemplative. It feels stripped down to essentials…no sentiment, no adornment, just still presence. The restraint gives it real gravity. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You make the page feel alive—like walking through a landscape instead of reading words.
The quiet inventiveness lingers; the reader is invited to build alongside you, step by careful step.

I always think the snow comes down to cover up bad gardens, if only for a time.
Winter sure is the reflection time, good or bad.
We promise ourselves change, and some manage, most don\'t.

We strip the bones bare to understand the structure and see beyond the surface. Yet arriving at the core in simplicity we see that we are all what we are and in that beauty acceptance a cold stark truth, undeniable all are part of the same nature. A lovely poem and a fave my friend
