cannon shot fire
arqios said:
A dramatisation in the form of Shakespearean sonnet that is somewhat theatrical exploring the events, implications, and anticipations of the June 30th, 1613, fire that destroys William Shakespeare’s beloved Globe Theatre during a performance of Henry VIII when cannon shots set fire to its thatched roof.

Beautiful words, Rik. It\'s a beautiful Sunday here and your pic and words just made it all the better. \"Sometimes Leaping offbeat,\" made me think in a way of music. such that it drew a clearer image of the \"reeds\" in the wind. - Phil A.

Enjoyed. Like in the Picture, during my Walks in the Countryside - and it being hot at the Moment- it was Wonderful to fill the Cool breeze across my face, and hear the Sound of the Wind in the the trees . Then the birds singing, Butterflies weaving around. Can\'t beat Summer. Good one.

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

Doggerel Dave said:
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.

Mottakeenur Rehman said:
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.
