Someone once said to me pain reminds you, you are still alive and keeps you on your toes, comfort is a blanket that suffocates your defences and allows you to just exist not live, probably nothing to do with the write but that is what came to mind, enjoyed the read

Doh! I was thinking recently of how I could be MORE comforting to others - and to self too maybe.

I knew it was Death from the beginning, but what beautiful description. If there was a way to double favorite...I think this is one of my favorite poems I\'ve ever read.

The rhyme makes my soul happy...a stark contrast to the voice my head read this poem in. Mysterious and aloof, a definite favorite.

Ohh, what you doing mucking about with worms? lol. If I have Light-shade, will it still be partly dark? I can\'t see a thing in this darkness. Turn that light on, I yell! Doh! lol.

The plans he laid, the words he saved, the music played, the poem was made, a clever piece of writing and very enjoyable read

Nary author\'s note to enlighten further, your favorite angle flourishes again with eerie implications. Beautifully rendered with a lovely bit of rhyming, gorgeous imagery, and a disturbing poignancy haunting. Thank you for sharing.

It has been a long time since I have tried to write a poem where all the last words of each line rhymed. You have done well in this venture my friend. Nicely done.

That really shook me… first being flustered then lost then realising, so much like cancer but no so much more… and just as the word formed, like the Prestige, the reveal slams head on and on time! Death. 🕊🙏🏻

I thought it was a quiz-poem - \'Who am I?\' type of thing, and we have to guess. Doh!

It comes for everyone big or small, young or old, rich or poor it is the great equalizer and in my mind the justice of the universe that treats everyone equally. The use of the word (I am) is in my mind a reference to what the Bible calls God\'s name. It is powerful and seems meant to shake the reader to the core. As for me I look at it as an old friend that I have seen the face of many times in the past, sometimes as a visitor come to call on friends and family and at others an me but decided to leave early with a promise to return latter. Loved the poem

I remember reading the fourth chapter of Jonathan Livingston Seagull where the author tells us what\'s coming, wrapped in the cloak of \"safety.\"
I\'m not good at reading longer pieces, but this one pulled me along nicely!

The problem with what\'s safe and what is not, over here they are constantly changing there minds, you end up in a loony bin just trying to up with it all, really entertaining mind boggling read

Hmm. Aka \"safe\" discussed herein at length, who doesn\'t take chances? At least the section of society from which I come forbade such experiments, until I dasn\'t come any closer than my profession forces me to do. Guess I prefers to take my chances with a ton of bacon and beef. What is far more fascinating to yours truly is the sheer coincidental timing of THIS pretty number and my own life, eerily. I never once considered while on the clock late Thursday that I\'d be reading such a gorgeous tribute in a matter of hours. La dee. Superbly rendered with such charming effects the reader, unconsciously drawn in, takes a ride on the wilder side, dumped, head spinning, safely [hahaha] sans any clinging, damning odors, the imagery excellent and poignancy haunting with an unidentified note. Thank you for sharing.

This one started from zero and continued to pick up speed as it plummeted off a cliff where the road was insanity and the fall was enlightenment. Yes this world\'s decisions based on statistics. What is safe the FDA decides based on how many out of a thousand die, Government decides war based on the chances of winning, business puts money down on the chances of profit and the gambler plays against the house that is guaranteed to win on percentages. Life is a zero sum game no one gets out alive and so why not enjoy the ride. Loved the format as well as it carries the reader along and the shuffled word explode from line to line made me think of cards being shuffled very creative. A fave

Dang! Take me by the hand and lead me through the famed labyrinth trolled by the Minotaur, endeavouring to persuade me that....I shan\'t die, after all?! You\'ve successfully lead my poor mind through so many gyrations it\'s spinning like it would topple off and roll away. No wonder philosophers go wonky. [Albeit I still mourn Phaedrus and deplore what they did when they caught him, as delineated in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.] Fascinating and rendered to effect with such interesting facets as it trickles down the page, loaded with excellent imagery, what a haunting poignancy this pretty number owns! Thank you for sharing.
