I had images virtually uninvited in my head of both limpets and lemmings I have known and do know. So, of myself? hmm.. well...

sorenbarrett said:
I love the last line \"In a world obsessed with motion\" that pretty well sums up modern society. And the lemmings well that pretty well sums up humans as well. A nice piece of work my friend most poetically said

riddle of the two kin
Friendship said:
Your poem invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions of vulnerability and protection, ultimately questioning what it means to be \'naked\' or \'dressed\' in the context of life and death. Well done.

riddle of the two kin
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this riddle works because it refuses to answer itself. Motion, stillness, covering, exposure…everything trades places by the end. It’s precise, philosophical, and disarming. A very powerful piece, sir poet. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
Beautifully taut and observant—your imagery dances between motion and stillness with a quiet intensity.
The contrast between living and stillness lingers, making the reader pause and feel the weight of each line.

Cryptic this one intrigues me. I imagine clouds with flashes of lightning, I see a frozen pond, maybe a leafless tree and I have always thought of winter as naked but maybe not with a coat of snow and ice. A fave

Animals know a good thing when it comes a crawling, mutual consent.
It\'s like that scratch you can\'t reach, and you have to delegate the task to the good lady, which can be blissful or a death wish.

An ant bath letting nature do its work. The intelligent make use of nature while the world looks on in wonder. Some understand many don\'t some have faith others not. And so do we learn from others or not living in chosen ignorance of what could be. Lovely Cryptic

In each heart remains a child and may they never grow up but live in that neverland. A wonderful write of a child\'s world where fantasy fills the day and night. As adults it only fills dreams unless you are a poet.

It\'s just those moments, as I struggle through the mire of the mundane that make the whole effort worthwhile. A good prompt, reminder Rik, so please don\'t knock them.

Just a little taster to begin with, can\'t do any harm.
Okay, maybe a little bit more than before, can\'t do any harm.
Just gives the bloody lot, feck the harm.

Brilliant, arqios! (I feel like I jus screamed Eureka! 💡🤣) Seriously, though, this is measured and incisive. Chemistry, craving, and human restraint fold together until bliss feels both real and fragile. That final vanishing lands exactly where it should. Strong, strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes balance that point where the fulcrum lies beneath. A step to the right or left and it teeters that playground toy of children. So applicable to all areas of life moderation seems the key. All things good in moderation they say. But here in your poem it seems that there is a seductive element to it as well. Nicely written Cryptic and a fave
