What a strong piece, James. The voice starts small and almost hidden, then opens into something much larger about survival, interdependence, and what disappears when we stop paying attention. Quietly powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a thoughtful piece, my friend. The rain, the clothing, the clay, and the firing all gather around this sense of becoming...of carrying what shaped us while still emerging differently. Beautifully done, James. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What\'s it all about
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a dark and powerful piece, my friend. You confront a society where corruption hides beneath respectability, the vulnerable are shaped by deception, and exposure arrives too late to undo the damage. A brutal indictment, James. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Is anybody out there
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this asks the questions grief forces upon us while keeping a wary eye on anyone too eager to supply definite answers. The movement from mystery into exploitation is quietly chilling...a thoughtful and incisive piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Is it our fear of nonexistence that prompt the creation of religion. The need for perceived justice prompts the idea of heaven and hell. Nature far kinder all must experience death there is no prejudice or judgement it is the same for all. Hope the last to die. Nicely written, thought provoking.

The end
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this really hit me. Strip away the systems, accounts, markets, and accumulated wealth…and suddenly the person who knows how to coax life from the earth may possess the greatest wealth of all. Powerful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aging
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, what a relatable piece. The humor keeps it light, but underneath is a very human reflection on time, aging, and the restless impatience that somehow never leaves us. And that final “Holy crap… / This be you” lands with a grin and a wince at the same time. Really enjoyed this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Off a little
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, “Nothing scary…haunt’s be…” is the turn that grabbed me. It hints that the unease doesn’t come from monsters but from something far more subtle. That line sets the tone beautifully. Wonderful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aging
Paul Bell said:
Remember, age is just a number.
Okay, 68 is a big number, but on the plus side, turn that number around, and some 86 year old is passing by in a hearse wishing he was 68.
On that cheery note I\'m off for a nap.

This poem has a haunting feel to it a place somewhat dreamlike and magical where time passes ever so slowly and one waits and waits and may never wake. Well written a fave

Not so easy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
James, this speaks to me. Real change is rarely about one big decision...it\'s often recognizing those quiet moments when we\'re drifting and choosing to turn around. I really appreciated this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Smell \'em
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What stayed with me most was the progression through \"Conception... Perception... Deception... Intention... Concession.\" Those single-word pivots give the poem a strong sense of movement, carrying the reader deeper with each turn. Beautifully done, James. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

James this is a very cleverly designed poem constructed in stanzas with good flow and intervening answer to the stanza which link the whole poem together by their rhyme. Very nicely done and a fave

Gone
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This was fantastic, James…the image of ounces measuring a loss too immense for any scale is what stays with me most. The way sorrow follows sorrow, swallowing everything within days, is gutting and honest. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Prior being
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is one heck of a poem, my friend…the sense of a former self still lingering beneath the surface is haunting in the best way. The detail of it tracing back to childhood is what really stays with me, and honestly, I think many of us carry something like that quietly. Wonderfully done, boot! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
