Quite a lot in a few Words.
Sometimes a few words speak Volumes.

I think Poets look at life though a different Microscope than other people.
I love the Work of Petrarch. And when you mentioned Boccaccio - who is new to me- I had to look up. Reading his Work now. Live and Learn.

My friend you took the very topic that has held me for the past few weeks. At the risk of boring you I will tell you for some time I have been intrigued with what makes a good poem. On another site they offer AI suggestions and a rating scale of overall rating, poetic similarity and images used. I took some of the most famous poems from Dylan Thomas, Robert Frost, and Shakespeare and found they got ratings of between four and five out of ten yet they hold the public imagination and are lauded. I have taken others that have gotten a ten out of ten and they are unknown. A good poem must be read first to be good or it is just that tree that fell in the forest and the question becomes did it make a noise when there was no one there to hear it. I have written poems with one intent and had them interpretated in different ways that people said was inspiring. I question was it me or they that made it inspiriting. I think that it takes a combination of the writer and reader and the readiness of the one interpreting the piece. Sorry for the rant my friend. My most popular poems on this site and read the most frequently are not the ones that I would have thought or chosen myself.

Rik, that idea of an “inner pyre” is what stays with me…that quiet burn beneath the lines. It gives the whole piece its pulse. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I believe (haha!) it does. Why? I contribute rhymes to another site (concerned with \"addiction\"). It`s like talking to a brick wall (for the most part).
Great questions, Arqios.

Nicely said. Your poem revolves around the nature of poetry and its ability to evoke emotion and reflection in both the poet and the reader.

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.
