Good write A. On some sites, there\'s an option to choose \'white\' as a colour for the text. Eh? how we gonna read it? Invisible poems, like that one I wrote with about 3,647 verses and no words in it at all. lol.

arqios… this carries a quiet nostalgia…that contrast between weight and weightless holding everything together. It feels grounded, like remembering something you didn’t realize you missed. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow!! what a great metaphor Cryptic that puts all my feelings about technology into perspective. The use of smell, touch, the very soaking up of ink into the dry paper. The biting of the press. All so sensual I loved it. A fave my friend

arqios… this has such a quiet warmth…like something lived in. That subtle shift in the room carries so much…those small, almost unnoticed changes that end up meaning everything. I’ve felt mornings like that, and you brought it through beautifully. Well done, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Reminded me of something almost lost, but not completely.
Most lovely, I thought...

What a nice subtle way to tell that slow and gradual are often noticed by slight variations in accompanying things. A gentle and soft poem that speaks of life. Very nice Cryptic a fave

Although not your intent, but thanks a bunch anyway, this did evoke fond memories of swims I had in the Tobruk Memorial Baths, Townsville. Ah - memories of youth.
As for your call, further memories of gasbags past and present, avoided where possible, attention diverted when unable.
A good \'un.

My friend, the image of the gull dragging the chip packet really caught me. It’s small, almost incidental, but it mirrors the whole piece…a subtle resistance that doesn’t need to announce itself. That detail delivers, along with the whole poem! Great job, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Oh wow Arqios I truly enjoyed this one. I was on a swim team when I was young, and it brought back memories. It all glides and flows. It is steady and vivid. Your work is something to be most proud of. This is a definite FAVE my friend.

Nicely done. Your poem reflects on themes of freedom, self-acceptance, and the rejection of unnecessary guidance.

So unique and creative Cryptic this poem speaks the obvious in a most unique manner. In all of these I see metaphor as well. Nicely done my friend a fave

Reading it, I had an Image of the Loch Ness Monster. Those Grainy Pictures that say nothing. Although the Poem could be about so many things. Nice one.

Rik, this brought me back to those moments where you project meaning onto something that’s really just passing by…thinking it’s a sign, a direction, something to become. I’ve been there. You captured that feeling well, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well done, your poem reflects on the tension between hope and the reality of life’s unpredictability.

Haunting shadows in form of sharks appear in all of our lives unseen but present circling fates that may take us from the deep. A lovely metaphor well written Cryptic.

Simple yet right on target. \"shut the door on maddening din\" offers hope for relief. Nice.
