Since my perspiration dyes my whites an ugly yellowish orange, while I\'m truly of the denomination spoken against too clearly herein, I remain on the fence. Last I checked the Scriptures declare plainly, \"...God...hath made of ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS OF MEN FOR TO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH,...\" nor have I ever found any justification for the false doctrine of alleged \"races,\" of people. The Scriptures declare how the earth was divided up after the flood, this perverse, false teaching divisive sans a basis. Frankly, I personally find every discussion on this topic divisive. Excellently rendered with superb imagery and a twisting, haunting poignancy ever revolving. Thank you for sharing.

Wait a minute, did you have the same dream? Sorry, it\'s a joke. I feel a deep sense of deja vu reading your post. It\'s so full of truth. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

The song that goes: \"should I stay or should I go...\" is playing in my head... (The Clash, 1982) lol... now that I listened to the Soundcloud clip. The voice and the texture of vocal expression brings an original rendition and individuality to the poem. Again, poem-envy arises.... lol.... gobsmacked at a 15-year old poet executing this!
On this end, still needing a voice to read out my poetry, should that be possible. e.g. https://mypoeticside.com/show-poem-203973

Thou hast hereby put me poor head to spinning until I is all mixt up: first the speaker refers to itself as a \"gal,\" next \"a lad,\" then throws it all into a wreck by declaring it belonged to some fellow named \"Pete\", and was, yeah, \"....his darling\"--?! As for journeys sans a clear direction, what\'s new? What you DO cull to mind is accidentally \"finding\"...\"my voice,\" when I never knew such a thing even existed, nor could be sought or attained, and all in the journey to completing a full year of sonnets by dint of writing one fresh sonnet every single day for a year from start to finish. Interesting what you inspire, is it? Anywho, beautifully rendered curiosity with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

We never said so ourselves but Peter Pan was every bit as cool as Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne!
And the point of view of this poem’s narration is killer🙏🏻🕊

Well written, your poem revolves around the journey of self-discovery and the challenges of transitioning from youth to adulthood. The poet reflects on their experiences of wandering, both physically and metaphorically, contemplating the uncertainties and questions that come with growing up. The subject matter includes nostalgia for youth, the complexity of adult responsibilities, and the realization that some aspects of life are cyclical or repetitive.

Peter Pan a favorite as a child I guess it was because he demonstrated a spirit wild. Loved the journey up and down the hill of words on this journey. Fantasy on such a lovely wandering to nowhere or should I say everland. Well done Tristan

Well said. The poem captures a tension between the desire for cleanliness and the fear of losing something valuable in the process.

This is short and soft, but it feels strong inside. The last lines are a little mysterious, like there is a hidden feeling. Very nicely written dear Tittu 🌹

Our fresh washed floor signs are yellow here in Chicagoland, printed in English and Spanish saying, \"Caution, Wet Floor.\" But your illustration is a warning, fiery red. Fascinating. Beautiful in brevity, encapsulating more than what appears, the most eerie fact is our utter inability to cleanse ourselves before the LORD, which painful fact drives the latter herein addressed, methinks. Haha, and now I am at a loss for words. Excellently rendered with pointed imagery and a very haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Tristan,
This is a strange one; one could take it as it is, at face value, as it were, or open to interpretation. It\'s very clever, quirky even. What I reap from it is: \'Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.\' As an off the cuff remark, sly-like as you have expressed. Intriguing, my good fellow.
You are in fine spirits, I trust,
Tony.

Many interpretations here don\'t know which one to start with. As a race we clean off nature in our path, as humans we clean off other fellow beings enemies, in genocides and wars, as individuals we clean off those not important to us by ignoring or slighting sometimes murder. Would we want to dry and let everyone step on us? Good write Tristan I am sure that others will see this differently with other interpretations but this is the most obvious to me at the moment.

Can we ever truly know? Life is a series of questions, and how we respond can lead us in so many different ways. We take the chance or we don\'t. Good poem for pondering!

Cheeky Missy said:
Yes, I do love how you conveniently did NOT use an \"r,\" proving there is a price for having engaged thus. Oh! Eloquent brevity! Oh freighted catch! Cut the limbed creature lose, and pay the ultimate price for such a catch. Fall in love and set it free, to learn whether or not you\'ll be sans a heart thereafter. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

sorenbarrett said:
Catching the unintended is most complicated and extracting them from the net can be dangerous to both the fisherman and the fish as well as damaging the net. It deserves contemplation not in the release but in how to pursue with the least damage. The size also has implications in regard to the release. This poem in its brevity is a net in which my mind is now caught being pulled into deeper reflections and toward a boat of memories from which I would like to extract myself. A most wonderful short that provokes deep thought. A fave I should add that if that picture is of you it bears a striking resemblance to my youngest son
