That worm certainly illustrated that Real Estate is not ultimate reality, Tristan.
Now I\'d like to take it further to point out that bits of moi were once a star, but cannot find a worm substitute connector. Any tips? Or could this be another case of DIY...?😜

Ashes to ashes, taxes paid, you may join your ancestors in the ground.
It\'s a fitting end to know the worms you put on fishing hooks are now sifting your soul.
I will be more respectful to worms now.

The worm is in the words shape and all. Indeed dirt is more than powered rock it is rot as well and out of rot comes new life and back again it goes. As a poet new work comes from old and as it dies it returns to where it came from. Well done Tristan

Nicely done.Your poem revolves around the transient nature of life and the interconnectedness of existence, emphasizing that humans are part of a larger cycle of life and death. The poet critiques the commodification of land and property, suggesting that the earth is ultimately a shared resource that connects all living beings

There is a stark message here. When all along you thought you mattered, but in reality you were only a number, disposable to be replaced with someone else who doesn\'t matter either. A bit like the Fleetwood Mac song. Players only love you when they\'re playing.
Mind you, I would gladly get replaced in January.

I detest advice dispensed in poetic form to others, Tristan. However here in commentary mode I must advise that I forbid you to let your own feelings of self worth be controlled by others\' perceptions of you... (apologies - won\'t happen again!)😊

This is very beautiful and it rings so true. I often wonder if I actually matter or how others can think I do. Totally feel the overthinking in this and self-hatred for the mistakes of the past. Thank you for writing!

Yes, to be gloomy, we\'re just a mix of chemicals, water, and \'stuff\'. Well, we wish that\'s all a certain glugger was made of. What \'chemicals\' is he made of? Don\'t answer that, of course! lol.

Clever and well worded this poem holds the themes of how much one is worth in the eyes of others or maybe even self given perceptions that are external and from the eyes of someone else. The woven message reads like a piece of patterned cloth wo nicely done. A fave

Well said. Your poem explores themes of alienation, self-worth, and the struggle for acceptance in a society that often marginalizes individuals based on their mental health or past experiences. The poet grapples with feelings of insignificance and the disconnect between external affirmations of worth (“I matter”) and internalized perceptions of being viewed as less than whole or valuable.

Aah Tristan, on initial reading this was the story of a cork which in the bad old days had blocked my access to the bottle\'s contents; then I happened upon the heavy duty comments above and realised I was not in the same league......Better luck next time - Happy New Year...!

The voice that comes to us once in a while that inner whisper. It is haunting and a bit creepy as if familiar but still needing introduction like a friend walking into ones bathroom as you step out of the shower. The voice itself is the knock at the door. The prelude that you don\'t drink and then the introduction as the cork. I have felt that way before. There is something more powerful than not being wanted in not being needed. Well written my friend

A powerful poem speaks from one\'s heart, been their. Your poem revolves around feelings of isolation, fear, and the struggle for self-identity. The poet expresses a sense of being trapped in an emotional or psychological state, feeling disconnected from others while simultaneously yearning for connection and relief. The subject matter touches on themes of anxiety, the pressure to conform to social expectations, and the feeling of being an outsider in one\'s own life.

Everyone has their god, but not everyone\'s god is as good as my god.
I always wondered what Jesus would think of the religious opulence living off his name.
The Mother Teresa\'s of this world is how I see religion in action and should be applauded.
The ones that chap your door and spout their verses. They get the imaginary machine gun or the old-fashioned boot up the ass.

He was a great entertainer he was wild and with no filters, but he loved so hard until his dieing day, he loved everyone who dared to love him. He certainly went out in grand poetic style. 🌹

Religion preaches conformity and relies on it. There are those that copy nonconformity just to be in the in crowd and they are worse feigning nonconformity and proclaiming rebellion only to hypocritically be one and the same. A most thought provoking write Tristan
