Such a style of a past era is carried by this poem. The first stanza caught my attention with the nice paring and rhyme of the last two lines. As in rhyme the story carries on one finds that the other is imaginary or at least just a memory. A definite fave

I like the harshness of this poem.It reflects reality as it is. There is beauty and brokenness. A wonderful expression of the human condition. Well written

I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

At first I thought that is an accurate description of modern man, but should if known better there is more to this write than meets the eye, in our differences we can find agreement and a way forward, to ensure a better life for all, enjoyed the read

It is contrast that makes for interest and catches the eye and ear. Achromatic music that catches the ear, a change in beat or rhythm, change in any form from chromatic to dystonic scales, textural changes in sensation mountains to plains, sharp to smooth, a lullaby changed to tunnel throat screams and pig whistles the animal in man. It is the change in color that makes a painting, the twists in a movie, the surprise ending in a poem. It is in difference that we find unity and in music or people the strength lies in the differences and together they bring resolution. A lovely write my friend

This is an abstract view of Time which really is an abstract notion.I mean Past and Future are not real in any sense. Ordinary acts seem to go backwards.For me this is a view of Time as a pathway, a door, not as a real state.This really made me think.

Your poem weaves stillness and unease so beautifully—each image lingers like the clock\'s haunting tick. The quiet rituals and unspoken tensions create a world both familiar and unsettling. Masterfully done.

This is quietly stunning, dear poet and friend. Every detail feels intentional (and I know it is)—anchored in stillness yet humming with tension beneath. That final image? Chilling in the best way. You’ve created a whole world in just a few stanzas. Beautifully done. 🕰️🌧️🖤🌹

A clever observation of daily ritual for many but I suspect these are the doors we put in place, and they are doors we use to block out rather than open and let in, keeping us contained in what we are accustomed to, enjoyed the read

Time, rhythm or laws of order, interruptions masked in static of lack of understanding, protection hung up because it is not needed all compartmentalized as if in different rooms, and time is the door to understanding and passing though this compartmentalization. Maybe a time when we ill understand the ritual and the masks will fall and the static tune into clarity, where the coat will no longer be needed and the door of time will open. How is that for a wild and bizarre interpretation my friend?

May this read feel like the hush before a revelation that may never arrive, yet somehow always has been there all along. Enjoy!

There is a touch of sadness here and a feeling of not being appreciated and being excluded.I certainly can relate to this.I like the metaphors like reading windows without knowing the name of the wind. Well done
