The world is a strange place at the moment Ben but if we live our own lives in a good and happy way all will be well within us.

Happiness is temporary and could be very addictive. It\'s also mostly amoral which could prove dangerous in some ways. Joy and gladness are somehow deeper and longer lasting and seem to stem from ethical rightness. This poem really gets the thinker going 🕊️🙏👍🏻

Some are and some are not I would say. Happiness has a low correlation with good and bad. All subjective states and conditions seen differently from different points of view, I would say no correlation. Well written

It also made me imagine that he was best friends with (probably once a long time ago) with Pinocchio but that there had been a certain strain in their friendship. 🕊️🙏

A familiar flow and meter from there was an old lady that swallowed a fly. Great fun and well done.

I\'m Safest When I\'m Sleeping
Goldfinch60 said:
Wonderful words Ben, but being safest when sleeping can bring dreams of anxiety to the mind so I believe the finest thing about sleeping is waking the next day as I have this morning.

I\'m Safest When I\'m Sleeping
sorenbarrett said:
It is far safer when everyone is sleeping. The species that we think is superior (judged by ourselves) has been here such a brief time and the real judge nature is thinking what to tell us about her decision. Over confident we raise our hands in victory but the judgement is not in. A great write that well could be a song

Herd mentality all for acceptance widely known to be in effect we are a social species that leaves us open to so many wrongs and injustices yet on we go with no thought. I being a rebel and comfortable alone feel it less but still there is a magnetic force that pulls on us all. A lovely write

A fable in a poem so well told with great rhyme and good meter tells its tale of being careful where we step. In this fast passed world we often neglect to see the consequences of our actions for others and ourself. Nicely done my friend

Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem explores the contrasts of joy and sorrow, love and materialism, particularly during the holiday season, specifically Christmas. It reflects on the complexities of adult life, the innocence of childhood, and the true meaning of giving and connection amidst commercialism.

As a gardener myself, this caught my attention. A relationship with pampas and some of its kin can be \'scarlet\' in nature. Respect is earned in the process. Enjoyed the poetic journey!

sorenbarrett said:
It is most interesting that certain objects evoke a more spooky feel like a tall hat that is out of style and brings Jack the Ripper to mind although no one ever saw him to say he wore one he was always depicted that way. Nicely written and very Halloween like.
