Hi Tristan, I can relate to this piece. In England our flag has, in a way, been hijacked to also mean something other than patriotism and unity. I realise that in your poem the national flag belongs to a serviceman and that removes the initial unease, but should this have to be the case? I think national flags should belong to all. A very clever and thought provoking write. Please tell me if my interpretation is off though, I\'m only human.

I can see the tree as a symbolic threshold about standing between what has passes and what is arriving, the feeling of old experiences \"wisp\" away, and watching the day dim as a kind of emotional exhale.

I\'m too old to know about these rock groups. Nicely written although I have to say I have not heard their music. Well done Tristan

A thin disguise easily seen through in this poem of satire and poked fun. Never the less I think the Popeye of my childhood was far more compassionate and I would have to say smart than this one. Even Brutus was more appealing.

Sometimes you’d think it’s boys and boys he business keeps going automatically once phished. But I’m paranoid to start off with.

Enough to confuse
Enough until all opposition is stilled
Enough until insatiable appetite is filled
A thought provoking poem my friend and it makes one ask themselves if it is all worth it. The poems brevity focuses thought upon the issue not decorations. Its clarity is emphasized in question that reduces resistance and it channels all into an unavoidable answer of too much. Well done Tristan

Hello again Tristan, I know who this is about. I did actually check the Instagram profile out, but didn\'t interact. I had a similar comment from the same person on another poetry website too.

Hi Tristan, when I\'ve read this, the blanket seems an important part of the poem. I suspect it belonged to someone special, perhaps you already own the plot right beside it. I really should visit my own friends grave more often.
A well written, thoughtful poem.

I suppose unconsciously, we walk over graves every day.
I think I might be a bit peaved if I was buried in a field of sheep, but then again, once the sheep is sheared, a woolen jumper could come my way keeping me warm in the winter.
A bit of a win, win.

Popeye\'s being sacrilegious - by the way, that\'s a terribly hard word to spell. He\'s growing spinach patches on the graves. Doh!
