Well written. Your poem is about your own experience of being out of place or disconnected from a sense of home. The imagery you painted of a \"cardboard mountain fox\" suggests fragility and artificiality, emphasizing themes of impermanence and the longing for stability amid the relentless passage of time. I am here for you, my friend. Hang in there, it will work out over time.❤️🙏🌹🙏

Hi Tristan, this is quite clever. I really like it.
I had to read it twice, then I read your absence note. After that, the penny dropped, and scrolling further down confirmed that the poem was about moving house and packing your life away into cardboard boxes.
I\'ve only ever moved once in my adult life, and it was incredibly stressful. I don\'t envy you at all.
A very clever, concise poem.

You label those boxes to make things easy at the other side.
Yet for some reason, cutlery isn\'t in the box marked cutlery, and nothing else is either.
Stressed out already.

Whether those boxes are your moving or for shipping they do have clocks ticking. The transient life of person or belongings is a stress. Well done my friend.

A wonderful poem of giving all, which is what is required to resurrect for until one lays down the old (body or beliefs) no new can arise. Raising the old creates a zombie it takes the fire of destruction of the old to raise a phoenix. The symbolism of Christ required crucifixion and death for there to be a resurrection. All martyrs must die literally or metaphorically to be one. Nicely written my friend

Sometimes it\'s so curious how history folds into itself as justice unfolds. And without this poem James Reeb would continue to be a lesser known light in the aftermath of the 1965 Bloody Sunday. 🙏🕊️(And it isn\'t just beer spelt backwards)

\'Freedom to conform\'. Never a better point made. Each and every word has many different connotations attached to it, and each should be clearly defined, as you have here with \'freedom\'. And to rant on a little - This is where I stumble when reading poetry at times.
Anyway, thanks for a good \'un, Tristan.

Unfortunately this poem is all too true. It rings of what little truth remains in a land of the free to comply and no privacy a fave my friend

Reminds me of a street in middle Ohio where a friend took us through their childhood neighbourhood, similar house types and their location was one side coloured and the other side white. It was an eerie excursion, and felt like driving through the location set of Hair Spray. 🙏🕊️

Your white (I mean write) delivers, as you might say, an utterly satirical but complete account of what the many might say, in the US of A, Tristan.
Enjoyed.

We are all trapped within our culture and past. We see black and white and wrong and right, there is no gray. This poem in its repetition is powerful. The rhyme both internal and ending is a mocking of this world view. Very creative Tristan and well done with a powerful message a fave
