The Church of depopulation,
Doggerel Dave said:
So far your central proposition has not been addressed by anyone above (Too Hard?)
With limited resources this Earth cannot sustain a healthy population where every child born has the chance to develop their full potential….at least under current economic arrangements where too much wealth is accumulated into too few hands.
Your fanciful church (which is not a church at all) Is a straw man argument positing some authoritarian form of depopulation, which would under current social circumstances prove impossible to achieve.

My friend, this is revelation through shadow...ritual and ruin intertwined. Every line feels carved in marble and bone. A masterful, haunting piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Quite the write Friendship where churches already preach of salvation only in a life beyond, where the only thing that matters is the life after this why not take the short cut and get there first. Well done my friend

Why don\'t people go to church, does the church not offer anything anymore.
Does religion get a bad rap with all the negativity that surrounds it.
Is there room for religion in the 21st century, or has hell taken us all.

A wonderful poem about the season and the day. With good rhyme it rides the broomstick of terror for children. I find it most interesting how children love to be scared and then we pair terror with candy to sweeten the pot. A fun read of memories and manipulation.

My friend, what a ride of memory and mayhem. That counter stacked high…the masks…the cobwebs. All of it captures the thrill of chaos and the sweetness of fear and the season of Halloween. Nostalgic and alive. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poem in good rhyme and meter sends a message that every word is taken as a promise made. Each word a vow to judge character by. Any deviation an undermining of trust. Relationships to be built on the concrete of words. Well said my friend

Yes my friend she does indeed. A most wonderful poem of nature taking care of what needs to be done. Often not what man would do she does a better job than me or you. Loved the rhyme and the unfolding of the poem in good meter and flow it speaks to the majesty of nature and her wisdom. Well written

Stop saying the word I can\'t.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is powerful, Friendship...the “I can’t” as a fence, the tongue retrained, the sky opening. A poem of language becoming liberation. Beautiful work, my dear friend. Very relatable. We can all plop that wall down in front of us and this is such an empowering write for people, myself included, to read. Thank you! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My Mother.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My mother is my rock too. This is so relatable and can only imagine missing the one who brought me into this world and cared for me so. Friendship, this is a full heart laid open. The crafted sonnet, the 8:00 ritual, the compass spinning, the vow to carry her light. It grieves and honors at once. Beautifully written and deeply felt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Oh…and what a beautiful picture. Trust me friend, you will find your courage to create again, you already have in your poetry. Crafting will come too, and when that happens, your mother will be right their with you! Again, well done!

Extended Metaphor: The river as time is carried through consistently and beautifully. Lines like “You cannot touch the self-same stream, / Nor recreate a waking dream” echo Heraclitus’ philosophy, grounding the piece in timeless wisdom. Nicely written.

The poem balances love, gratitude, and vulnerability. Lines like “I stand before the world in trembling awe” and “I’m sorry, Mom, that I have only wept” convey raw, authentic emotion. This is a deeply heartfelt and profoundly moving poem, a beautiful tribute to a mother’s love, guidance, and the lasting impact she has on her child’s life. Beautifully written ✨
