I can see it plain as day. A wonderous glimpse of golden rays setting through tree branches to a forest floor. This poem conveys a sense of peace and calm a feeling of warmth falling into shadow and the onset of the coming night. So well crafted Cryptic that it seems I was there. A fave

Those words can be written in many ways arqios, we do not have to do it in a particular way. Fine write.

I really like your message, mate. Feels about right to me...However sometimes (and I don\'t mean here right now) there seem to be quite a number of poems about poetry to turn upon these pages. Now if that\'s not navel watching.... I have a picture in my head of swathes of people in floppy velvet hats, a rose under their nose prancing around chanting \'I wanna be/am a poet\' LOL.
Poetry is for me merely the medium with which to convey an idea, a message. Could be film, a novel perhaps.....
But let\'s not spend time with those interminable and irritating questions such as \'What is poetry?\', \'Why am I a poet?\' Make the medium work. Bring issues to the table.
And I very much enjoyed the write !👍

It is really painful when we see our friends in such a state and hope that there is some cure available for them. A very sensitive subject handled beautifully

Yes, the gatekeepers keeping gates they were never appointed too. From the moment art was put on a wall to show the way to the next hunt, it has birthed and inspired more art. There is no gate to keep, art is in the eye of the beholder, as it is said, and I, for one, love busting gates open (or just kicking them if they won\'t budge. It\'s exercise at the very least 🤣 and practice for the next gate) . Like storming the gates of hell! A very wonderful poem, my friend. Nay, an important and timely one, because the gatekeeping is real and IT IS A BUSINESS. That is why I love MPS, Poetizer, and other places because they open the gates wide. Again, this is most certainly a fave for every reason! 🌹👏

MPS is an excellent venue for freedom of expression, as far as it has been around.

For me this explores the so called rules of poetry and creativity. Poetry doesn\'t have to rhyme bit there is nothing wrong if it does. Surely to enjoy writing Poetry or any literature should be free.A great poem with a serious theme.

Cryptic it is the meaning of this poem that gets the fave. I hold poetry to be the ability to convey emotion in words. Poetry without emotion is merely a decoration an icing and without the substance of cake beneath it a simple window dressing for the eye not for the stomach or heart. A lovely work

Your author\'s note gives greater meaning to this poem that uses common metaphors to build a new image and feeling of far greater proportions. Very nicely stated my friend

Your words weave a quiet magic, tender yet profound—like roots deepening in shared soil. A beautiful reflection on connection and the rhythms of being.

This poem resonates deeply—bridges as symbols of connection, memory, and the gentle impact of our actions. I love how you capture both the tangible and the fleeting—the pebbles we toss, the ripples they leave, and the way they merge with dreams. There’s something quietly powerful in the idea that what we build (and keep building) remains a passage, even into the past. Beautifully crafted!\"
