My friend, this is quietly powerful…heat insisting, body moving, not to win but because stopping would cost more. You named that truth so well. Loved this, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem explores the tension between movement and stillness, and the inevitable passage of time. It reflects on the struggle to navigate the pressures of life while acknowledging the costs associated with both action and inaction.

Cryptic, although quite clear in its images, the poem meaning is somewhat enigmatic. It is the last line that is the most clear lack of action or standing still always has a high cost. As they say it is harder to hit a moving target. Nicely written my friend.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
You have fractious fractals, me...spacious specters! 🤣 All jokes aside, this is beautifully crafted…the streetlamp fracture, the rain-slick petals of asphalt, the shadows slipping along tile. Each fragment catches light just long enough to change shape. Loved this piece, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Now steady on, says Fido to me. The title - A F-F-F-Fine write A! I came across a word, not all dictionaries have it - anfractuosity (twisting, winding, curving, etc).
I dunno if I\'m coming or going, what with bans and forbiddings. Fido says it\'s too much for me with only my 3 brain cells. heehee.

A fave for the introduction of a new style to me. You taught me something today and that is worth a great deal. The poem itself is alluring in that its mystery of meaning keeps the mind working. The title to the first line seem evident then it becomes fractals indeed leaving me to find the pattern. You have grown quite complex my friend.

Some Poams are like a Rorschach Test. We can get our own interpretation from them.
Resilience is my View of this . Good Write.

My friend, this is beautifully restrained…the desert, the fragments, the unanswered cries, the psyche learning to move through dust and rock. It feels like a meditation on survival without illusion. Stunning work, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well Cryptic you have been rather enigmatic these days, This could be about people taking over the land and keeping a piece of who they are and where they came from while the story of the land before and those there disappear, or it just as well speaks to an individual\'s different stories through life as some fall into forgetfulness while others remain. In any case fragments remain and we must accept them hopefully with stoicism for we have little other choice. I\'m having to use the shotgun method in hopes of hitting something not being a very good shot. Loved it though my friend

Wow, you had me thinking on this one! Well written, my friend. This poem serves to reflect on the nature of resilience, encouraging readers to acknowledge and carry their own \"fragments\" as part of their journey through life. It invites introspection on how individuals cope with despair and find meaning in their experiences.

Well-written, my friend, this poem speaks to me. The poem contrasts the strength of resolve with the uncertainty of existence and the transient nature of time.

Here the seed of thought sprouts in linguistic plant. Morphemes grow into roots of meaning, stems of direction, leaves of gathering strength and the flower of a poem that sends its pollen adrift on the breeze of time unmeasured to shores undiscovered. We never know how a poem or even a phrase may pollenate another poet. Brilliant Cryptic a fave
