the old home
Kevin Hulme said:
Whenever I see an old House; I often wonder about the many family saga\'s played out within the Walls. Especially Homes that go back to Victorian or Georgian times.
A fine Poem.

So true - out with the old, in with the new!
Memories are swallowed on eye pads, as meaningless as the vanity that created them.
Where\'s the grand ones?

A poem where nostalgia leaks from old pipes and shadowy ghosts reside in dust. Sadness falls in shadows with the fragrance of yesterday lost in must. A poem of loss and decay of yesterday. Lovely a fave

Very true words Rik, we are different people inside and outside our bodies but will become one at the end.

This poem is beautifully introspective and deeply evocative it captures the tension of belonging and identity with precision and grace. Love the rhyme. Nicely written.

Wow! I’ve walked this tension myself—the in-between, the not-here-not-there. You’ve given voice to that fracture in a way that feels both personal and universal. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Love this.

Dear, arqios,
Either in step or out of step with society, the mind knows, the heart questions and the soul conquers. I\'ve always loved the expression, \'worlds away\' where the senses detect the usual but in an unusual way. I have enjoyed reading this, very much so.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Complexity put in simplicity. Feelings of duality where there is no acceptance of either out of place. This poem was written well enough that I did not need the author\'s note I could feel it as it rolled off the page. Nicely done Cryptic

week in a wink
Cheeky Missy said:
Aye in a wink, or as I rather phrase it, \"..in a blink.\" I love how this trips along gaily short and sweet with a waltzing sense of rhythm in tow. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a delightful poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

“south of the equator”
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, this is immense. From the Southern Cross above the sinks to the tide answering its own moon, every image maps grief, love, and history in a way only you could write. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏 Seriously, love this and an easy fave from me.

I feel a lot of the Films made in Australia in your words : \'Walkabout\' springs to mind. Very descriptive. And shows your Love of your Country.
Enjoyable Read.

Lawson? Banjo? Do I have to guess? Never mind - there are enough images I can identify (with?) to more than satisfy.

an ill-fitting halo
Tony Grannell said:
Dear, Arqios,
A delicate thing, the halo, can easily stain and most difficult to polish - like ridding guilt. A extremely well wrought poem. Much praise for this one.
Fond regards,
Tony.

This is powerful I love how nature, history, and identity are woven together. The personification of drought and flood really stood out, and the imagery of river-mint and dust gave such a strong sense of place. Beautifully written.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios, this one hit. That crooked grace, the coin spinning between light and shadow...it’s beautifully done. And hey, maybe the reason halos don’t sit right on my own head is the damn horns. 😈 Either way, I’m glad you wrote this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
