The Price of Instruction.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this piece holds power in its poise. You dissect pride and false wisdom without ever raising your voice. Powerful restraint. That closing couplet could hang on a wall...timeless truth, beautifully told. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The majestic images in a fire.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this glows with mystic reverence. The witch in the fire feels less apparition than archetype...nature’s spirit made visible. You captured that wonder with true grace. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A huge difference between teaching and preaching, controlling and ordering. Teaching is an incredibly hard job to get right but a very easy job to get wrong. Loved the last two lines, enjoyed the read

This is close and deeply resonant to me. It really nails the difference between knowledge and wisdom. I like how it shows that instruction delivered with arrogance can wound more than it helps! The final couplet especially drives home that without kindness, teaching collapses into pride. 🕊️🙏

Yes, you might be a teacher, but can you teach.
I can recall only one teacher out of about twenty who could make a subject interesting enough to learn, the rest just went through the motions.
Sad reality in education here and by the sounds of it the states too.

A feeling strongly expressed in this poem. It feels hurt and injured by a rude style. The feeling is well expressed and the rhyme is good. The story flows well in this poem of pain.

Ah, fire. It inspires yet can destroy. With my own eyes, in shadows soft and deep, \"I saw the secrets that the flames can keep\", wonderful.

Fire is so unbelievably beautiful in that way! Such beauty though, can bring much destruction. Beautiful imagery!

Fire for seeing things like smoke or water is constantly changing and a good medium. A nice picture for the season as well. Very nicely done

This is powerful, my friend...a manifesto of endurance. You blend strength with reflection so well…every stanza like ironwork, every rhyme a strike of will. Absolutely inspiring. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poem of resolution and strength vowing to rely on one\'s own intuition and power in a world of deception and falseness. Very nicely written in rhyme and good flow it rolls off the tongue. Very nicely done my friend

My friend, this is breathtaking…a painting that turns itself inside out. The sea starts as cradle, ends as captor, and love runs through both. Such control, such ache...beautifully rendered. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The beautiful things that can be created from what other people have discarded. I understand the artist feeling there work talks to them, so pictures I see I feel talk to me, enjoyed the read

A lovely poem of what one loves to do and the treasure one creates from raw materials found. A mine from people\'s discards. Artfully done.

I could see deep emotion and pain in this poem of loss. A sense of despair and continued regret even a sense of blame. It cries with remorse of a most helpless nature where one questions if they had done something different would things have been different. An after the fact questioning that only serves to fuel the fire of self condemnation the (what if) question we all ask ourselves afterwards. But a question that serves no purpose and keeps us in this never ending circle of thought. Very nicely composed and felt.

If you need a \"loyal, true, unwavering friend.\" that involves a requirement to reveal yourself to them, I\'m afraid...
Smooth read.

A beautiful poem of friendship and reliance. When one is small or weak when relies on someone big or strong, but as we grow, we learn to rely upon our self and then no matter how many leave us or if we are alone, we always have our own company For that will never leave us a lovely poem
