We buried sooty in the back yard.
She died around 2am, with my son by her side.
We rolled her up on her towel and used a 4x4 iron bark post for a headstone.
Now we grow lettuce over her.

A poem of loss. It has its melancholy and sad features. It is dark even in its setting. Nicely written.

Many creatures feel loss. We are not the only ones that mourn. Sad poem.

These are all great poems. They are fun to read and have a child like quality to the questions in their innocence and simplicity they hold a complexity and philosophical depth nicely written.

Irony - nothing much to enjoy in the first, a clear gut wrenching picture.

Disaster, greater and lesser social and personal both poems contain a degree of suffering. Suffering from outside sources, spirit, fire, or water to the basic elements nicely done.

What rights?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Oppressive religious beliefs are among the justifications used to take rights away. Ultimately, it is people who are taking rights away…all around the world…using various justifications, not just religious beliefs. Atheistic beliefs have done the same in various parts of the world too. It is a sad and unfortunate fact, one your poem highlights, that people in power will use whatever to keep themselves right where they are. The rest of us play along and fall into the trap. 🪤 No belief should be forced on anyone. A very thought-provoking poem my friend. Well done. 🌹👏 Let’s hope we can see past the BS, religious or otherwise, but if history tells us anything…

A powerful message. Our beliefs become wrong when we wish to enforce them upon others.

I always

I can hear the overflow of words from a spirit that feels compressed. Well, expressed in poetic form the message jumps out at the reader

Might not be related, but they could both be categorised as disasters - interesting writes nevertheless.

2 more poems, um don\'t enjoy
sorenbarrett said:
At first I thought that the second poem was what had happened to the narrator of the first poem prior to it being written and unbeknownst to him.

Deep thoughts lay frozen in this latter poem and its all too human questions. Very nicely done

Enjoy?? Really??
Never the less some rich imagery and prophetic warnings ...as an amateur pessimist I can tune in quite well to some of that..

A restricted life
sorenbarrett said:
It all seems overwhelming. I hear the frustration and anguish in the poem, and there are feelings of it all being a bit too much nicely worded.

Not much I can say either - other than \'sorry\'.
An insight into wheelchair survivors and others with inflicted disabling injuries.

Todays task
Doggerel Dave said:
More than \'just a thought\' (singular), You cover the issues more profoundly than many who once a year decide to remember \'the fallen\'. In the broader context, your post includes continuing conflicts today, innocent civilians (a hobby horse of mine!) and the fact that \"Every war us humans have stupidly fought, power, land, and riches were always sought\".
Good for you and thank you!.

Decided not to
sorenbarrett said:
Decisions are often difficult to make, and we vacillate from one to another. In the end, it may all be the same. A good writing.
