This is amazing.It encapsulates the problem of Time and the human condition.There is no point looking forward it is unknown and there is no benefit in digging up the past.So we a locked in the present.Excellent piece compadre

No matter what, it is about moving forward. That\'s what I get out out this. To keep walking...step-by-step...and indeed, having done so in my life, I concur. Well done, my mon ami! 🌹👏

Something I could be guilty of hiding behind words,I like the ending moving forward so you don\'t have to listen to everything you already understand, nicely done

Surfaces and superficiality a constant of modern city life. To peer past them (the peel) can be very hard. Takes time and energy, while everything and everyone races on… Here’s hoping that makes sense within the context of your piece, mate.

Wow this creates such powerful images.Peel back the neon and what remains. For some its a living for others its a death.For me I avoid the bright lights of the city as much as I can.Give the home among the gum trees...lots of plum trees etc.Powerful poem very thought provoking.Well done

Peel Back the Neon\" hits with raw, electric energy—stripping away pretense and embracing the unvarnished truth. The imagery is vivid, from \"citrus and static\" to \"tongues dyed bright,\" painting defiance in neon hues. There\'s a fierce authenticity here, a refusal to be softened or decoded. The lines \"No algorithm knows how hard we hit / when we hit with nothing to prove\" especially resonate—this is poetry that doesn’t perform, it strikes. The final reveal, \"something too loud to fake,\" lingers like the hum of a live wire. Brilliant, unapologetic work.

The search fot truth and the many ways it is hidden from us and the tools used to keep us in the dark, as the author says peel it all back and you will find the truth, nicely expressed and written

Cryptic this poem to me reflects modern technology and its affect on us. Technology nothing more than what we put into it is us in mechanical form. We decorate it with colors and lights. It brings in what we see as truth, the internet bringing us finger tip access to it. We hit the keys hard and despite the information we doubt what is true and what is not. It operates on algorithms. Each hit on the internet recorded knowing what we have been interested in and giving us new offerings as to what we may want to see but we proceed without any purpose or anything to prove. If we peel away the shell there is a truth too loud to ignore, a search for meaning, ease of life, truth but we find truth too loud to ignore. I\'m sure it has many other meanings and that is what make it great. A fave

Oh wow! Just wow! Brilliant, Rik. Seriously, mate. Brilliant. This is perfection, imho. So I am just going to stop there and fave this! Well done! 🌹👏🤯 Oh, and if someone complained to me about writing, well I would not have thought to brilliantly write this. I would have just written \'em an epic, rhyming elegy, in ballad form. Methinks your approach might have been superior to mine! Just \'cause! 😏 And one more thing I noticed. An apologia is less an apology and more a defense in classical writing. This was a great apologia, not that you had to offer it. Glad you did! Guess I didn\'t just \"stop there\", now did I. 🤣🪞🫗🎼🙏

There\'s nothing wrong in writing Rhyme
I seem to do it all the time
If Free Verse is the Horse you ride
No fence or hill you\'ll need abide.
Enjoyed your Poem.

Not sure if I have this right, but sounds like someone complaining about you having the ability to write in rhyme, which if is the case not sure what they are complaining about, to me you certainly have more than one style of writing, all enjoyable, nicely expressed and written
