Never mind the writer (organiser), the only question for me is: does the argument hold? After a reasonably long life, having been confronted with so many questions, arguments, propositions and learnt much from them, I\'ve developed a filter which excludes all considerations relating to the author unless I can identify their underlying ideology.
Thanks for pinning the topic up Tristan.

Such an important piece quaking Faith, I\'m lucky I was never part of the faith path, I\'m an unbeliever however I do have much sympathy for those forced to study a religion when they have no interest simply because it is family tradition, love your last stanza too. Kudos my dear Tristan. 🌹

Your opening lines set the tone. A quaking faith so are most if a person is honest. That fire often consumes both faith and belief turning them to ashes. Words and people, be they prophets or political leaders or financial gurus leave them demigods an Achilles with a vulnerable heel. Words of those with a cause are not to be taken wholeheartedly. Gandhi techniques are noble but do not always work. A great acrostic my friend

chicken liver paté
Thomas W Case said:
A barroom snarl wrapped in rhyme—messy, loud, and grinning while it throws the punch.
There’s grit in the absurdity, like you’re flipping the table just to prove it was never worth setting.

Good write T. In some tomfoolery, no, tomgluggery (Popeye and Ol\'Tom both got in there!) they say \'What? No spinach pate?!\' lol.

sorenbarrett said:
Well Tristan I do not like chicken livers or pate but in this sense it is the expectation of something better for something undesirable. It sees like being promised steak and getting tube steak (hot dogs) You never know what is inside. Had a neighbor that owned a hot dog industry and none of his family would eat them a sign. A lovely message set in this poem of metaphor Tristan.

Sounds like someone is mounting and over promising; I always was of the notion that pâté was from duck liver. And that kind of racket is a scam and a con job, any which angle looked at 🕊️🙏🏻👍🏻

Well put. Your poem reflects a deep sense of frustration and disappointment with unmet expectations and superficiality in relationships or interactions. It juxtaposes the idea of high aspirations (symbolized by \"paté\") with the mundane or disappointing reality (represented by \"chicken livers\"). Your poem conveys a feeling of being trapped in a situation that feels insincere or unfulfilling. Well, your feelings are all over in this situation.🌹❤️I love chicken live and chicken pate married to a Jewish man; it\'s one of their main course in the holidays

A strong poem. The poet likely aims to provoke thought about the nature of safety and existence, encouraging me as the reader to consider how my perceptions are shaped by societal pressures and personal fears.

Thought I heard from you yesterday my friend but given the state of my memory may have been last year. I don\'t know any gossip don\'t even watch the news. It is an interesting word though compound it seems gos sip. I guess that comes from one that goes and sips from the private stock of others. A fun read my friend.

Friendship said:
Well said, my friend. Your words capture a vibrant and playful essence of femininity and empowerment, mixing elements of seduction and strength. It portrays a character who embraces her allure and confidence, using fashion as a form of expression. The repeated calls to \"kiss me, mama!\" suggest a yearning for affection and recognition, blending sensuality with a familial bond.

sorenbarrett said:
Tristan when I took ballroom dancing the samba was the first dance I wanted to learn and my wife and I did only to be disappointed after hundreds of hours to master it to find it is not the street samba they do in Brazil. I have tried to learn that one also but don\'t consider myself proficient. A fun poem reminiscent of the disco days that I lived through and danced the night away. Well done my friend you brought back some nostalgia

If you can afford a Louis bag, you\'ve got too much money.
Mind you, all those charactors could fit into a Louis bag.
Why do womens handbags weigh a ton, what\'s in them.
