The hypocrisy of what one professes as their belief contrasted with how one lives their life and what they do. It raises both contempt and recognition of our own similarities. Very nicely done Tristan

Lovely written. Your poem addresses issues of social isolation, misunderstanding, and the superficiality of some expressions of faith. The juxtaposition between the shy individual\'s reality and the harsh judgments of others serves as a focal point for the poem\'s critique of societal attitudes.

Tristan this is quite a story in poetic form told in the first person that makes it more impactful. It takes us on a journey from the animal point of view personified. The reader is placed in the position of thinking how they would feel being invaded by another species their home taken, property altered and young killed. It provokes a sense of empathy and reflection upon what we are doing and have done to nature. It is brutal as nature and soft as maternal love. Well written it in metaphor tells us of what we are doing to ourselves, making the earth more dangerous and killing ourselves with our self perceived progress. A most powerful write my friend.

Tristan the whole theme of Peter Pan was a boy that would not grow up. The idea of being a man is foiled by this. Tinkerbell the symbolism of imagination and the wonder of imagination of childhood. Peanut butter a childhood staple and the idea of it being stuck in a labeled can brings the thought of how we are all stuck with labels that we can not escape. So with all this how does one become a man? The note of her being a ginger speaks to creativity and passion, being unique and fiery. Damn is that an expression of disdain or a condition damned to this state? Very nice my friend

A hard swerve into absurdity, like identity slipping on a banana peel and landing in a punchline you didn’t plan.
It’s messy, funny, and a little desperate—the kind of humor that shows up when things stop making sense.

Pray straight, stray gay, condense them together, the vicar\'s doing cartwheels.
This is why Alians get confused when they visit earth, and why I buy packet soup now.

Well expressed, your poem\'s informal tone suggests a personal narrative, you readers to connect with the poet\'s frustrations and desires for authenticity and freedom. Ultimately, the poem serves as a commentary on the complexity of identity in a world that often seeks to simplify and categorize individuals.

That\'s art that is, that pic - probably worth millions of pounds (UK) / dollars (US). Mr P Solus said it would be worth even more if they were cans of spinach - empty ones of course as he will have glugged them all. lol.

I do like chili con carne but not from a can. Home made please and the same with sexual orientation not from a can please, birthed from a homemade recipe is the only way to go. Great write and most interesting metaphor my friend.

Wow! It only makes sense that the poets blossoms into music! I’m definitely going to check it out, I’m also looking to buy that book you’ve been advertising soon. I apologize for not being as supportive as I should be… especially knowing how important art is. Thank you for continuing and metamorphosing… you inspire..

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

There’s grit in the absurdity, like you’re flipping the table just to prove it was never worth setting.
