High bar low
Doggerel Dave said:
Can\'t see there\'s anything to excuse at all. The expectations of ourselves, (even if not guided by your Higher Authority) compared with the actuality, made for a read which held my attention.

High bar low

When the bar is high it is an easy task if limbo is the game. I have the feel that this has another meaning and one that is far more spiritual though. Yes few of us ever get over the bar.

The higher you go, the higher you fall.
Sometimes going low allows you to climb to success.

Good write 2. From part of a hymn: \'He/She that is down need fear no fall; He/She that is down [need fear] no pride\'. Though, of course, we have to get up again!

Well written, your poem explores the tension between high expectations and the struggle to meet them. It reflects on the pressures individuals face when trying to live up to societal or personal standards, suggesting that in the pursuit of these high ideals, one may feel compelled to lower themselves or compromise their values.

Loved this one. The message is a favorite of mine for you can not know a man unless you have walked in his shoes. None of us walk in another\'s shoes and can not know what he undergoes, thinks or feels. Judge not is a Jewish and Christian belief by scripture yet so few follow their beliefs. A fave

Too many perfect people out there.
Well, at least the ones who put their arm round you.

For the most part you captured a thought process I both recognize and am very familiar with.
Your conclusion? Sorry we will differ there, but that doesn\'t detract from the rest. Thanks.

Wow, this is both proclamation and poem. The sickle at harvest, the call to stay on the level, the cadence of warning...very powerful. Urgent, heavy, unforgettable, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This refracts the imagery into a more contemporary, layered meditation: a modern idiom of “levels,” games, bait, and tests; suggesting that in the chaos of perception, competition, and judgment, the only way to endure is to remain “on the level.” It’s almost a commentary: \"don’t get lost in the noise of winners and losers, bait and games. The Servant shows that the true test is silence, endurance, and what remains after fire.\"

A most interesting poem that calls question to the issue of should one love oneself and I believe one should for if you don\'t I don\'t believe you can love any thing or any one else. Well written

Tristan Robert Lange said:
This reads like a worn prayer turned prophetic call…gratitude for rescue…“you set me free”…moves into an insistence: know the times, choose life, stand firm. The poem balances reassurance (“set my feet upon the rock”) with a startling edge…the thief, the surprise, “slay them with your tongue”…so worship and confrontation live in the same breath. It’s both comfort and battle cry, tender and unflinching. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
