Salvia.S said:

Your poem is intense and thought-provoking. The imagery is sharp, and the message about fear, identity, and blind patriotism comes through clearly. It challenges the reader and leaves a strong emotional impression. Well done dearest Tittu 🌹 ❀️ A fave for sure!!!!

Oh I\'m surprised you haven\'t yet mentioned freedom of speech, and the Jimmy Kimmel story, because it truly shows the America of today, where Trump truly does rule... 😒 There is patriotism and there is extremism I truly in my 50 long years never thought I would see this divide so divided. Also in Europe we are having a moment, just the other day the red carpet was rolled out for Trump, we have been putting up with right extremists trite for so long, we don\'t even know how to begin to complain anymore, one rule for us one for them, but Trump owns the channel and takes Kimmel off, ever heard of Silvio Berlusconi? follow the link of David\'s poem, read what I and others have written lol 🀣 stay cool dearest Tristan.

Alliteration begins this piece without peace. Short and to the point like a bullet it pierces hardened skin and sinks to the heart. Well written my friend and a fave

A great reliance on the occult the use of three as in the three time repetition in stanzas. Nice work my friends. The use of inversions, inverted smiles are frowns. The sign of the inverted cross. A most interesting song

The poem expresses a deep concern for the state of the world, highlighting the destructive consequences of human actions driven by hate, neglect, and environmental degradation. It serves as a warning about the impending self-destruction of the planet if humanity does not change its ways.

Still dozing...everywhere \'Defense\' spending is on the rise, while the guy in the White House has reverted the name to \'War\'. May be the most honest thing he has ever said... or may ever say...

Prophetic in 1996, even more pertinent today, Tristan.

I deeply respect who you were and the almost uncompromising stance to tell the truth. This one is going to be my all time favourite. It resonates at all levels.
Once I was reading a book \"The Lucky Planet\" and it hit me hard that what took billions of years to form, we are about to decimate in few centuries (post Industrial Revolution). The probability of finding another planet like Earth is 1 divided by 1 followed by 26 zeros! But why should we care? Why should we care what we are living behind for our progny? So long we attain the criteria of being successful- all well, all good. Even the word greed is feeling ashamed.

Strong words on a painful subject that cries out for redress. I don\'t consider myself an environmentalist but instead a preventalist and for that it is too late. A conservationist yes to a point. Too many people demanding too much from a planet not designed for it. A powerful message in this write. Well done my friend

This poem is playful, lighthearted, and humorous. Orichdee in a teasing and affectionate way. It reads like a fun tribute with a personal touch. Nicely written.

Hate\'s Finality
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Dearest Teddy, this is tender and tragic…the longing of distant love entwined with poetry itself. That line...β€œknowing our hands will never touch, but you are deep within me”...really struck me, and that closing vow to β€œdie unsung” lingers painfully. It’s simple, but it carries a heartbreaking truth. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬› And beautiful picture, my friend! Love the Dante quote too!

OMG, you outdid yourself. Your poem celebrates the character of \"Orichdee,\" portraying him as a cool, funny, and trustworthy individual. It highlights the importance of being aware and respectful of others\' feelings, particularly concerning a playful yet sensitive topic involving hamsters, which serve as symbols of innocence and vulnerability. Well done, my friend,

You made me laugh and for that my dear friend you get a fave. I had never thought of it that way and I won\'t mention it out of curtesy to your request and respect to one of the poets here that I dearly love but I think you have uncovered a secret that had slipped by me and I find quite endearing. A fine write.
