An asteroid the cause of the first mass extinction; mass suicide the second. (I may turn this into a short pin later - your preview!)
Neat write.

Mans best friend, war.
Though we better watch out, all those machines we\'re training to kill, might just bite us on the bum when they become super robots.

Such a great image the frost. The continuation of this image through that poem is perfect. The comparison of cold with emotion as well works so well. A really good poem that is a bit haunting and cold as well. A fave

Johnny High Horse

Ah, Johnny come lately or not at all.
Take his horse and Johnny no more.
Sadly, we all know a Johnny and the mist passes by.

Johnny High Horse
sorenbarrett said:
A fine poem about those to focused on their own fears and insecurities to be themselves and enjoy life. A poem of one trying to be what they are not but wish they were. No greater punishment than to live a life that is not yours. A fun read with great rhyme and good meter that carries the reader onward to the end. It tells its story well. A fave

That was a really engaging read, FrasMac. Back in the day, Johnny came marching home again, hurrah! Hurrah! Nowadays it\'s Johnny High Horse, such a clear picture of pride getting in the way of love and connection. I like how the rhythm makes the warning feel almost like a song, while still holding out hope that Johnny might step down and listen. Thanks for sharing something so thoughtful and relatable 🙏🕊️

Now you know that I love word play and this one is a good one. It is more than word play it is punctuation play, clause and sentence play, meaning play and that is a bigger field to play on. Good read

The Robin song
arqios said:
“The Robin Song” breathes companionship in times of struggle. The robin isn’t just a bird here but serves as a symbol of hope, offering song and presence both in joy and in pain. What struck me most is the promise to follow “down to your fallow ground” where it’s not comfort that avoids suffering, but one that enters it with you. The closing image of planting a seed feels like a reminder that even in our lowest moments, something new can grow, and joy can return. 🙏🕊️

A Moth
arqios said:
What a moving piece. The image of the moth clinging to the windscreen becomes such a powerful mirror of our own lives — fragile, buffeted, yet still adjusting, still holding on. I felt the weight of those “sledge‑hammer” days you describe, and the quiet dignity in simply enduring until small rewards — love, friendship, a meal, a book — remind us why we keep going. Thank you for capturing both the struggle and the grace in such a tender way. 🙏🏻🕊️

The Robin song
sorenbarrett said:
I love this poem. It starts free verse but with a set meter and ends in full rhyming verse. It is the development and build of this that I find most intriguing and the message sent is just as gentle and supportive as it builds as well. A most lovely piece and a fave

House of Scars

Tremble we may but there is a path that won’t dismay. Somehow hearing a nudge to take the good along with the bad and keep trudging forward. In the end it is uplifting, emerging. Thanks Frasmac 🙏🏻
