There’s a strain of sadness and resignation to fate underlying this verse- very well done

Rik, this is concise but carries real weight. The progression from questioning the nature of loyalty to the final image of another coffin nail gives the poem a strong sense of inevitability. Thought-provoking and beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, I love the simplicity of this. It starts with something almost everyone feels, then gently leads to a place of acceptance without forcing it. There\'s a real sense of peace by the final lines. Beautiful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Not sad - (Wrong !)
Absolute freedom – (Right !)
This Freedom? – Good for me, but too much for some - tough shit!

A mantra that seems so obvious when telling another, and nigh impossible to internalise. A good, simple read - the simplicity adds a certain legitimacy to the message. Well done

Sometimes the ones that do like you, you wish they didn\'t.
Mind you, as you get older you begin to hate everybody.
I especially hate self service checkouts that for some reason make you pull out the imaginary machine gun and blast it to bits.

Wisdom in words. The only one that needs to like you is yourself although it is much easier if others do as well. Nicely written my friend

Rik, this really hit me. There\'s so much hope packed into so few words...that movement from clearing away what\'s dead to making room for new life feels deeply honest. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Just this morning I was imagining myself alone, adrift on the ocean deeps, and was struck with terror. It was humbling. And I also remembered that it was just my imagination, running away with me!

A good message here. When we do shake the Reaper by the Hand : Let\'s all have one of those \'Hand Buzzers\' ready.

Wow! Short and sweet but so deep psychologically where winter\'s death must be cleaned. Where the primal fear of death must be cleaned away. That fear itself defeated brings about new growth. Lovely my friend a fave

The way my weeds are reincarnating is out of this world.
Good to know they\'ll be above me someday.

My friend, what a powerful piece. I love how restrained it is...you let the images do the work, and they carry both sorrow and an unexpected tenderness. \"My sap is sealed / my root is dry\" hit me especially hard, and that quiet ending leaves the whole poem echoing in the mind. Excellent write, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
