A strong message that meets them head on with the violence of swatting flies. Powerful and unambiguous it meets force with force. I hear the anger in this piece Tristan

Doh! I thought it would be a beautifully descriptive poem about some decorated porcelain - plate, jug, or whatever, but not a loo. I\'m gonna be sick! lol.
Oh no, not now Popeye! heehee.

That lays in the sewer below or rather if I were writing this I would say that the world lays below and that the fine crafted ceramic is religion. Nicely done Tristan it is a critique that many have voiced in different ways. Hard and real raw as a chafed ass perfumed with poetic grace. God told me I gave him hemorrhoids.

Have you ever tried to pin a moment down, Tristan? It`s impossible isn`t it?! It`s like a moment is always here and never here at the same time.

I’m here. Now. No, I’m now in a same similar moment. Tomorrow another moment ….no different.. But in the end those moments do change; though I don’t notice, reality impinges.
‘Sorry Tristan - doesn’t come near to directly meeting your write halfway, but this it evoked, provoked or something...

Well written. My friend. Your poem revolves around the concept of the present moment—emphasizing the significance of living in the \"now\" rather than being preoccupied with the past or the future. The poet delves into the human tendency to forget the present in favor of nostalgia for what has passed or longing for what is yet to come. It highlights the sorrow that arises from neglecting the present moment, advocating for an appreciation of what one currently has rather than yearning for what cannot be possessed. A powerful poem, Tristan🌹

There’s a raw clarity here—each line makes you pause and reckon with presence.
You’ve captured the tension between time we have and time we chase beautifully.

This is simply beautiful Tristan a flash in time by the time it is recognized already gone. It is so fleeting yet always present, an enigma an illusion yet all that is real what ever real is. Nicely worded and constructed it speaks to me. A definite fave

Well written. Tristan. Your poem delves into themes of memory, perception, existence, and the cyclical nature of life and death. It draws parallels between cosmic phenomena (like supernovas) and human experiences, suggesting that from destruction and void, new life and understanding can emerge.

An exploration of the cosmos and its splendor a reveling of mechanics and workings within the watch that keeps our time. A beautiful work Tristan that if one dives very deep is a metaphor of emotions and their workings within us. After all we are a part of this cosmos so why what applies to one should now apply to another under the same physics and its laws. Very nicely done and its form flows in that same display. A fave my friend

\"Yesterday’s ignorance still feeds today’s fears.\" - Yesterday\'s is today\'s and very active too. Not only feeds but grows some too. A most potent line. To dispel ignorance in a market driven capitalist society would appear virtually impossible. Apologies for the pessimism, Tristan. I do hope your plea is heard....somewhere.
Rosa Parks took her stand (or rather her seat) when I was about 13; remembered well but felt revision would be in order. I ended up down a real rabbit hole when I hit the link to the Scottsboro Boys...aah...

Carl Jung said all women are born with an animus, the male part of their personality and all men born with an anima, their female part. We all have both forms of gender. Although it seems a paradox it is not in that above all else we are all human. Is it really rebellion or is it just being free to express what society bans. Lovely write and a fave.

A powerful poem. Your poem addresses issues of identity, discrimination, and the quest for truth in a society that often overlooks marginalized voices. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and supporting unique individuals who challenge societal norms and injustices.

Well written, your poem explores the dichotomy between perception and reality, particularly regarding the notions of beauty and ugliness, as well as the poet\'s journey towards self-empowerment and liberation from a toxic relationship

Does Popeye know Fag Ash Lil (a British term of an unrefined or \'trashy\' woman!)?
