A sad message of how we as people take nature out of its place and put in on display for our entertainment. Nicely done

Remember driving around between there and the Appalachian, with Rocky Top blaring from the car stereo. Using those feelings to frame this poem. The carnival image brought a quite claustrophobic, caged feel; strong light and shade contrast between the two halves of the poem. Powerful.

\"My voice is the murder of my throat\" - never came across something so profound. \"coals of rigidity burn\" another rare gem. Exceptional work in my humble opinion

The image is very cool looking, first of all. second--they dance so well you just don\'t want to stop... dance until you drop, even if its dead at least you\'d\'ve had the company

I’ve been through Valhalla with a corpse with no name… it’s so good to be out of the flames… in Valhalla you can’t remember your frame… lalalalala….

Profound questions for the current times. Should we indulge - life is short, isn\'t it? Should I yield to temptation - without yielding to greed there is no success (the earthly salvation). An existential quandary we face each day. Thought provoking at its best.

I think we all have them .. correction, I know we do .. a moment of indiscretion fuels a lifetime of regret .. not to mention them bloody vampires that want to bleed us dry .. darker than the blinkered blinds of Hades & stuffed to the gills with what Halloween couldn\'t stomach .. & if that aint something to be smug about I dunno what is .. 🖤🐈⬛🐦⬛😎👍

Argh no! Let\'s not dance with them. \'He/she who sups with the devil needs a long spoon\', i.e. keep your distance. From Geoffrey Chaucer maybe, circa 1390.
Meanwhile will ya roll round the floor in laughter, as I say? - I didn\'t know ya had that pic of ya mother-in-law there!\' Heehee.
\'Succumb\' linked to \'succubus\'? - a naughty female demon.

Well as someone who has danced with many devils i really like this poem, and highlights the fact we have all danced at some stage, some who did not choose to and those who did, Very enjoyable read.

Mmm, I might be tempted to say you\'re worth the trouble, depends. Beautifully rendered with a delightfully haunting poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

Much to contemplate in this superbly crafted poem Tristan. We are all on a journey. I guess most will say ‘ I did it my way’. A long time since I listened to the Doors. Time to change that. Have a good rest of weekend dear poet.

Those with closed minds only hear what they want to hear ( especially if the truth effects them), those with open minds may not agree but will listen. Great read, Thank you Tristan

WOW! I don\'t know if it is a poem or a painting where disparate segments are made into a whole by the skilful artist. Perception - the grave of reality. \"Loved it\" sounds too lame, but my limited vocabulary can\'t drege up any suitable adornment.

This is rich and complex, Tristan. Seems your piece has thrown up many different feelings in the debate here - including some of mine. Can’t help but agree with the general tenor of your depiction of the movement change over several generations. Can’t help but agree with the overall ‘progress’. The only point I feel impelled to make is that categorized generalisations are dangerous if they extend themselves beyond poetic limits. The Boomers (and I’m not one) were as much subjected to political control as any other generation. Some (perhaps almost the majority) fell into line (including going to war) but many did not.
But I think I can agree on the main point: it all seems to be going down the gurgler now.
Take care of yourself.

Somehow brought me back to thoughts of the Vietnam War and all other such sociopolitical upheavals that twisted and defined generations. I lost my cousin and best friend during the Gulf War in which he did 2 tours. I’m sure the poems apply to several other things but that stood out to me for some reason.
