A literal succss as a poem and metaphoric as well. Whether seen as a family tree or nature itself the meaning grows deeper rooted when declaired by man unsafe. Our official order be it government, schools, religion tell us what to believe contrary to knowledge given by experience and life. Do we believe the news?

Good write David. I heard a tree joke - What\'s brown and green, and would kill you if it fell out of a tree on to you? Nope, not a branch - but a snooker table! heehee. Don\'t know where that bizarre joke originated.

A beautiful poem that bought back some happy memories, from the days when all you needed was a tree to have a good time. Often wondered given how old they are, if they could speak, what would they have to say after seeing so much, enjoyed the read.

I have an affinity with trees. The silver birch outside my bedroom window is a sentinel. I understand how that willow tree was a special friend to you and how the memories will stay, long after the tree has gone. Lovely poem David. Thank you for sharing.

Great metaphors in this poem light its path. They illuminate poetic images that reflect understanding. Very nicely written it flows well on to its end with rocks on one bank and flowers on the other.

Obsession.

This poem evidences a masterfully delving into the themes of vanity, desperation, greed, and the struggle for authenticity. It uses vivid imagery and powerful metaphors to convey the emptiness and regret that come from living a life obsessed with superficial pursuits. 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

This is a most beautifully worded deep write on the need for humanity to come of age and put asside its childhood toys and beliefs. Masterfully done and deserving of a Fave

arqios said:
Inspired! The abrupt return to reality with the reminder of Adrian\'s 12-hour shift serves as a grounding moment. It underscores the poem\'s blend of divine wisdom and everyday struggles, highlighting the coexistence of the sacred and the mundane in our lives. Finally a piece that rivals Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol!” Liked and Faved!

Eyes of Glass, Hearts of Stone
sorenbarrett said:
It takes a different kind of mind to understand ugliness, pain, destruction, to have eyes to see in the dark. Another difficult read that is highly emotional and that is the primary element in an artistic poem
