Well yes - I personally have managed to disagree agreeably on several occasions, even here...but sometimes this just aint possible.
Sorry to bring personal experience into the mix - Quite possibly not the right moment to achieve an apogee position....

Strindberg Principle
Doggerel Dave said:
Prior to here, he was a playwright, after, he is by all accounts a \"polymath\" - the \'accounts\' being a lengthy Wikipedia article.
I\'d vote for him - seems he lead a chequered life, and had no trouble being vocal about his society, all and anything he distrusted. A searcher for truth - whether he found it or not is in many ways irrelevant.
Your poem is reflective of that I feel.
Let me know if I\'ve misread.

Strindberg Principle
Paul Bell said:
I wonder if Strindberg knew he was slightly different from the rest of us. In saying that, he probably thought us as a pretty dull lot.

A wonderful write Strindberg would be proud. naturalism or mysticism, either way it fits. The old fight between free will and determinism. Such a ring of duality, almost Taoist.

A refreshing daily float down life\'s running stream seems ideal for shackle-free boats Rik - good read and I am loving your final line too.

sunrising sunset
sorenbarrett said:
This poem hit me in different ways. The sunrise portrayed so well the dawn of life with its promise of the future yet to come, while mid-day is the work and labor, the suffering of mid life, then comes the memories present in the evening of life. Then again the literal day is just fine too.

Rik: The trouble with \'screenshot and then posted as an image\' is that it doesn\'t give me access to the link at the bottom of your piece - obviously an integral part of the post.

\'If only\' - but it ain\'t, Rik, is it?
Fires floods and military spending...
\"Consumed in the fervent disappointment and disgust\" is me!
Well shouted.
PS: \'cryptic\' is right, mate - your piece is embedded here in such a way which makes a quick copy and paste impossible - how so? Commercial secret?

We can only hope that the tomorrow which is there now, will have learned from the past which we are today. For every moment of every day we make the future. An enigmatic and thought provoking read my good poet. Definitely a fav!
