Nice One . I hate it when people say: ‘ It could be anywhere’.
Anywhere such a big place. I mean Worldwide.

Good write M. lol. And - If we don\'t know what we\'re looking for, how will we know when we\'ve found it?!
Will we get out of those \'Keep closed at all times\' Fire Doors this year?

Wonderful words Michael, so many thoughts come to mind and as with abstract art, which I also love, it can take you to so many places of which each inidivual becomes aware, I can see myself walking through a graveyard talking to all who are within their graves.

I think we be agreed! From melting clocks to mind bending polygonal shapes we communicate rather creatively. And that is probably a better thing than not.

Wow, Michael. This is, indeed, art. This poem speaks worlds to me for a number of reasons I won’t get into here, but let’s just say that I am deeply moved by this poem and this tale. For me, as a person of faith, I see something deeply unsettling (like a dimly lit mirror) and yet, profoundly liberating and healing if one heeds the warning.
Slight background. My faith journey has weaved both within and outside of the church/Christianity. I have seen the beauty of the church and all the good it can do; I have also witnessed and (truthfully) have experienced the ugliness that can come out of it. In fact, for some, the church has down right been an institution of horror.
This, for me, paints a scene of what I imagine to be a witch execution. It doesn’t have to be a witch execution, but that is the scene I envision when reading this. I need not get into the history of how the church spread a holocaust of horror against women, dissidents, Jews, Muslims, and anyone that basically stood in the way. We’d like to think that was just a few corrupt church leaders but, as Robert Eggers’ film The Witch artistically shows, the truth is far more convoluted than that.
The fact is people bought into those ideas of witchcraft, sorcery, devilry and scapegoating others, in spite of what Jesus Christ himself taught and said on violence and judgment. As an American, I need look no further than the Salem Witch Trials to see how common, “good” people can become murderous devils.
Truthfully, religion, itself is not the culprit; rather, it becomes the tool through which both human good and human evil can be perpetrated. Take religion out of it and the potential still exists and comes to fruition. People scapegoating other people for their own gain (financial, real estate, faux security or otherwise).
So, truthfully, my interpretation goes far beyond just religion and even the legal justice system. Those are the vehicles through which the moral is weaved. I believe, \"her fate discussed in taverns deep\", speaks to a deeper truth where there is a horrific interplay between those in power and those who keep them there. For me, this tale cautions us against our very human nature to let fear and/or power pervert us from angels into demons. All, the same, Michael. This is a work of art and I humbly bow to you, dear poet and artist! 🌹👏

Masterfully worded in a classic form it beats with the rhythm of a heart beat and flows in a thick rolling viscosity like honey toward the edge of the bread. It ends in mystery that feels dark yet enticing. I deem this a true masterpiece and work of art.

I see the death of a witch and the relief of the men, that they avoided her curse, very enjoyable read.

Good write and pic M. This partly (or entirely maybe) speaks to me of the church. I am currently reading of The Salvation Army and its formation. One thing was they didn\'t agree with the \'rich\' in churches, including pew rents. Though the Army does not have Holy Communion / Eucharist which I disagree with. Jesus even says to remember Him in taking bread and wine in Communion, which can be informally at a shared Christian meal too, as it was originally so. They became fanatical over alcohol abuse, and so the Communion wine. Yet some places changed the wine for coloured water, I read. A super organisation doing much good, I say - but not perfect - but who is perfect? End of discourse!

I see the many side of what a church can mean to each individual, after all they don\'t just represent death they represent life. I\'m not religious in anyway, so that\'s what I see, so very beautifully done. 🌹

If only we all weren\'t so stilted
Our humour would not be so wilted
But as good folks do say
When the wrong ones have sway
Tis better if all were well kilted.
These are humorous. I\'m sorry you\'ve a cold to keep you down. Limericks are far too much fun to keep out of, whence thank you so much for now sharing.
