Simurgh said:
Indeed, what a price to pay for the orange! It was sometimes power controlling the justice and sometimes hard reality.
This poem is a splendid masterpiece of metaphors! ✨🌹🌹
I enjoyed reading the journey of your poems, they are always ironic and beautiful in its own unmatched way.

Someone who thinks they have complete power having it turned on them, a very good and strong moral in this writing and i enjoyed the read ( rat poison for flavour).

A story about choice power over self and others. very nicely written with careful word choice and great images to paint the story. In the end there is a moral and meaning to the story. Well done my friend

Kids can be such a pain in the backside. Thankfully they grow up and learn to be more caring and sensitive towards their parents. This was the kid in you. Your mum was a diamond from what I can see. Enjoyed your words and thinking here David. Have a good day.

Taking you on the journey how when young you take everything for granted and feel a lot of what your parents do is pointless and stupid, arriving into maturity realising they were all acts of love, compassion and care. A lovely write

Message recieved. Such a wonderful way to present it. I\'ve been a kid, had kids and watched kids. We all are kids in one way or anothe and still growing. Growing out of ignorance hopefully and into understanding. Growing in empathy and understanding of love. A beautiful write

Walking in someone else’s shoes for a bit? Doesn’t really sound like confessional poetry per se… a tad more like narrating from someone else’s perspective. Perhaps I’m wrong but reminds me of that “yeah-nah” music video from several years ago now. 🙏🏻🕊

What a price to pay for an orange. Sort of rough justice or cruel karma. Life is harsh isn’t it? A good read David. Enjoyed with my late night cuppa.

Another one that would’ve been transported to the penal colony, back in the day. “Alms. Alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy.”

Made me think this one because it is not to much to just want an orange, but then it is the way you go about that and they way it is received. Social as well as moral issues made an interesting and enjoyable read.

There may be a meta metaphor here. Poverty asks for justice of which there is none and comes up empty handed. The only escape in a power driven world is death the only true justice dispensed to all. How\'s that for a cynic\'s review? Good write my friend

A gift from the heart is a true gift, it is not giving thinking how it will be received, so sometime we can have regrets after but not at the time of giving. An interesting write that makes you have a think, enjoyed reading.

Another poem that makes one ponder. One should never give a gift that one regrets. A gift is from the heart freely given with no regret regardless of what is done with it anything else is but a ransom. A wonderful write nicely worded and structured

Child or adult we often do foolish things that have bad results. Things we never intended but in our ignorance or neglect we are responsible and have to live with it. A wonderfully written piece set up well and well told with a sinking feeling at the end.

We have our own version in the West Moreton region, the Walloon sisters who both drowned in their backyard dam. So sad. 🕊

Some really great lines in this poem \"God is ill and his silence is a cage\" is one that evokes a great deal of thought. Very nicely done David.

Beautiful verse and near rhyme in a somewhat classical form that carries the reader through this world to the beyond. It floats effortlessly as a cloud through the sky. It leaves behind an etherial feel.

A most beautiful tribute and poem to a land. It rouses the heart with pride and calls for a sense of nationalism. Much to be proud of here in both the land and the poem full of images and history.
