You can always walk around the pond Rik to get your steps up and then enjoy the croissant.

I quite agree. They say Times a great Healer, but the Wounds still get sore every now and then.
Haven\'t been around as I was having trouble with my device.

arqios, this balances the mundane and the immense beautifully. Birdcalls, ponds, pastries…then tremors and estrangement. It feels like displacement rendered softly, without dramatics. The calm tone makes the ache sharper. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A sad poem. Your poem aims to evoke empathy and understanding of the complexities of human emotions.

I tend to like bananas and flaky croissants but then I am on the other side of the pond. This poem is best for after breakfast when the brain has more fuel to work. It is enigmatic in its clarity. And it is true that food is comfort for some but not I when feeling sad. A most intriguing poem my friend

My friend, this feels like a quiet brushstroke. It’s compact but textured…seasonal, reflective, gently layered. “colour-splashed meanings” lingers like paint still drying in the mind. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Bloody snow this morning, what the hell is going on.
I\'m getting whiter than Casper now.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
arqios, this beautiful. There’s much restraint shown here and that makes the connection feel real…no grand gestures, just presence. That closing idea of meeting without turning away carries such steady weight. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Cryptic there is a feeling of comradery in this poem where words are not needed to communicate and where thoughts merge. It is the silent call from one to another sent by signals that often go unnoticed by weaker bonds. A most lovely write my friend

My friend, I had to laugh at myself first. As an American, “North & South” instantly pulled up Civil War ghosts…which says more about my wiring than your poem. Funny how regions linger in us like that…even when the mess is clearly under the table.
That aside, I’ve seen whole rooms go silent like this…everyone pretending nothing happened while everything happened. The way you let the house “let the linens argue it out” feels painfully familiar. Comedy wrapped around truth. You nailed that balance. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I take this poem as a satire of politics a personified attack on the mode of governance. Clever wordplay \"under the table\" the workings of a house. There is discord with geographical boundaries, the weather and wind that blows north to south the different pieces and blame ascribed, hidden feelings beneath feigned forgiveness. All so civil on the surface yet rancor beneath. And in the end a false sense of peace. A most lovely write so well penned a fave

My friend, this is beautifully restrained. The room widens, becomes weather, becomes breath…and suddenly grief isn’t absence, it’s atmosphere. The closing lines are earned and true. Profoundly powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Deeply psychological Cryptic this depicts for me a person that can not let go and chooses this landscape as preferable to any other. A poem filled with emotion where the air is heavy.

Too much time in any space is not healthy. A feeling of being trapped like an animal and surface and lonliness and bordem will always be an enemy.
