Ah my friend here we have a great example of a contradiction \"as blank as a cloud-filled sky\" Led astray, the reader goes on. But is not a cloud filled sky full not blank? Is it you that can not sing freely or is it that you are feely perched up in the sky. I love such ambiguities for it gives such freedom of interpretation. Well done Tristan

people jump to conclusions so easily, and are quick to brand the unsuccessful and homeless as vagrants - what a pity they are unable to penetrate through the deep layers..good write up on security and its different layers...

Very well written. We do indeed need to study to show ourselves approved. Just because someone stands behind a pulpit or on a bima or cries from a minaret does not mean they are telling you the truth. We need be not just cautious consumers but attentive students of our faith.

A powerful write. Your poem conveys a message about the importance of authenticity, love, and transformation in the face of societal and institutional conformity. The poet expresses a desire to inspire hope and reform, particularly within the Church, urging a departure from dogma and a movement towards a more open and loving approach to faith.

This is amazing.For me it speaks of the \"truth\" being given to people but rather than being grateful they being challenging and arguing.All that is wanting is hope but they often can\'t see it.Very topical when applied to the Iran/ Israel crisis.Made me think compadre

How can something so simple like religion become so entangled in dogma that it completely loses all identity.
You can see why agnostics go through life happy.
Maybe being religious outside the church is the way to go.

I have always loved the ABAB rhyme scheme it takes an ordinary poem and makes it more. The message of this poem is close to my heart telling others that conformity has its place but not in one\'s beliefs or values. A lovely write my friend and a fave

Well done. Your poem deals with themes of endurance, isolation, conflict with authority, and the complexities of human agency within organized structures. It raises questions about how collective efforts can both support and undermine individual causes.

Good write T. Popeye says I\'m \'naughty\' for avoiding (?) a poem on the Trinity on this Trinity Sunday in the church calendar.
In simplest terms it\'s like 3 leaves on a clover; or the tea, milk, and sugar in a cup of tea!
He of course refers to 3 leaved spinach plants - which exist for him, even if not found anywhere else. lol.

Tristan this is ingenious your arrangement of words seem to indicate top to bottom reading as in Japanese or Chinese if I am not mistaken and in that order there is defiance and rebellion against established beliefs such as God and yet the last line contradicts this saying that God is just our scapegoat. In other words take responsibility for our own doing. If read word for word left to right there is meaning in the top line \"forget life angry god\" What a thought there is in this. And letter for letter the word flag is formed making me think of a national god. The apostrophe had me a bit confused I have to admit. A most ingenious arrangement and composition my friend a fave
