You live you die you eat a pie but you\'ll never be a firefly.
The innocence of youth, if only you could bottle it.

Well written. Your poem revolves around the metaphor of a firefly, representing life and vitality, and the emotions tied to the end of life. The imagery of a child experiencing joy reflects the innocence and purity associated with youth.

Fanciful it at the same time is an allegory for spreading light and knowledge or truth. Well done my friend

Hi Tristan,
There\'s a definite \"you think your own shit doesn\'t stink\" message running through this one 😂
I like the hypocrisy you\'re pointing at here...judging everyone else\'s supposed sins while standing knee deep in your own. \"Stop scaling our horns while covered with flies\" is a great way to finish it too.
A clever write.

If only my postman could define this.

This one is one of the shortest poems that I have faved but I just had to. The meaning hit hard and I agree 100%. I live where the street has no name and the house no number and feel privileged to be as much off the grid as anyone can be anymore.

There’s a damn sharp rebuke here, using the “stye,” “soul,” and “horns” imagery to expose the hypocrisy of judging others while ignoring your own mess. The final image of horns covered with flies is especially gritty—it leaves the reader with the stink of false piety hanging in the air.

Bowing one\'s own trumpet is certainly ego driven. What ever the reason. You made me chuckle 🤭 🌹

Well said. Your poem is to encourage self-reflection and humility, urging individuals to focus on their own spiritual journeys rather than casting judgment on others. It serves as a reminder of the dangers of pride and the importance of genuine piety.

There is something peculiar about the magnetism between the arrogant and the pious where the most judgmental act the most holy and the irony is that it is most humble and nonjudgmental that are the best people. Well said Tristan

\"Ain\'t nothin but a hound dog\" Memories of tunes. Music to please the ear and soul. So many good groups, singers and composers. Nostalgia from the past good memories and a few sad. Well written Tristan a fave

Another didactic work presents itself, and after research expands my horizons. Thanks also for the atmosphere, Tristan. Ah, memories...
(Weed certainly wasn\'t legal during my heyday, and may have contributed to the paranoia sometimes associated with it\'s use).
Enjoyed the write.
