Good write A. We have couple of indoor plants that we often forget to water. That\'s KP, stuck in a corner and forgotten (on purpose!). lol.

Deep meaning in this metaphor my friend. Some plants we treat with great care giving all we think they need yet they are fragile compared to the strength of those that survive on their own, sometimes in the most adverse conditions. I have a plant left by a mother in law sitting in a corner now for over fifty years, sometimes watered sometimes going months without. It lives vibrant as the day I first saw it, I call it immortal. A fave my friend

\"Terminal light\" equals nothingness, perhaps?

What a powerful little piece, my friend. We awaken to existence already in motion, unable to choose its beginning and carried steadily toward its ending. The brevity makes that inevitability hit even harder. Excellent work, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Another metaphor I take it, As we all form part of the train it seems our leader has not checked his gauges and here we go full speed ahead in the dark headed for an abrupt stop at the end of the line. Could be just me and maybe my prejudices of politics and society in general though.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a beautiful piece, my friend. You capture that sacred stillness before daybreak, when the heavens feel privately shared and even departure carries grace. Quiet, intimate, and deeply moving. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a damn quiet intimacy in this, with the two stars becoming a private little world shared by “you, and me.” I especially like how they don’t fight the sunrise—they simply exist for their brief moment and then surrender the sky, which gives the poem a graceful sense of impermanence.

I bow to your poetic grace my friend. Your word choice is magnificent as is your imagery but best of all is your pulling of the threads to join all into a well sewn piece.

I love that almost imperceptible transition from dark to light in the mornings, then the reverse in the evenings. Great write.

This is wonderfully written. I read it twice to get a better feel for how time passed. However, there\'s a flicker there that still flutters. Thank you for sharing.

A fine, erm, Spanish titled poem there A. lol.
As I said, I\'m no good at languages. Fido knows 3,467 languages, but he doesn\'t brag about it, e.g. He says \'Le woof\". Oh it\'s nutty! lol.

What a beautiful piece, my friend. The ordinary becomes cosmic, every stranger contains an unseen universe, and the entire world quietly remakes itself overnight. I absolutely loved this, Rik. A fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Pleasantly comfortable the warmth of its serenity woven in surreal cloth felt good against the skin and its tune was pleasant to the ear. I loved this one Cryptic it was fanciful but real in some esoteric way. A fave my good friend

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a wonderfully biting piece, arqios! The supposed budget cuts that somehow enlarge the public’s burden pair perfectly with the hypochondriac enlarging every minor symptom into catastrophe. Both targets thrive on exaggeration, and your wordplay punctures them beautifully. Excellent satire, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Luckilly for us in Britain, we\'ve got Andy looking after us.
He\'s saving money by replacing the British people with migrants.
Something tells me he\'s not going to last.

As for the tax collector he can catch the plague as far as I am concerned and the histrionic well I have known many and feel for their plight for I never get sick, just days that I don\'t feel well. Good one Cryptic
