Popeye inspired me to eat more spinach back then, but maybe I should stop eating it once and for all. Beautiful :)

Well said, my friend. Your poem explores the tension between religious dogma and the essential humanity of the divine, suggesting that rigid belief systems often reject individual understanding and insight. It highlights the struggle of thinkers who challenge established beliefs and the resistance they face.

A great acrostic poem that is heavy and dark it speaks cryptically yet reaches through the barriers of the guarded mind. Well done my friend.

Tristan you tapped into my childhood watching Popeye on TV when they were black and white. Also coincidentally I harvested a good amount of spinach this past week and cooked it eating it with a liberal dousing of vinegar and now I\'m checking to see about that private part. Made me smile my friend. Thanks for the memories

In right proper limerick form you delivered the tale of my favourite boyhood hero... Glad I knew him as a boy.. adolescence was exhausting enough without the threat of Popeye\'s fate hanging over (or under) me... Mind you, the fate of many an ancient male marble statue hangs (or rather doesn\'t) there...
Great fun, Tristan.

😂You made my day!😂🤣 Your poem humorously exaggerates the silly consequences of eating spinach, as shown by Popeye, a sailor famous for gaining huge strength from spinach. It satirizes the idea that eating too much of one food can cause absurd results, ending with the funny and surprising loss of a \"private part.\'

Friendship said:
Well done, my friend. Your poem revolves around the struggle for truth and love in the face of societal and institutional oppression. It highlights the tension between individual beliefs and traditional values, as well as the sacrifices made for the pursuit of authenticity and compassion. The subject matter touches on themes of tribulation, social justice, and the quest for belonging and acceptance, particularly for marginalized individuals.

it is so true that apathy has set in, and the little baby bear is left to wallow in its misery - serving only as a wayside interlude for many who pass by - sad state of affairs indeed - why can\'t someone call the SPCA and save the little creature is beyond my comprehension

If there\'s no point in trying to hide behind it anymore and for whatever reason or reasons .. i think it best to jot it down sharpish so as to prevent loosing it .. or it becoming diluted over time .. that way, reading between the lines stands less chance of getting or being corrupted by individual interpretations and or perceptions .. the narrative has amazing flow and is quite literally mind blowing .. I see both a mask and a skull .. it feels like the narrator/poet/artist has both asked and also provided the answers to the questions posed or otherwise arising from said visit .. and that takes some bloomin doing ..

This felt to me having a conversation with ones self, but stripping out all the layers of protection built up over the years,like the mask, to try to get an understanding of who we really are , what events happened along the way to makes us who we are today. Possibly breaking down memory barriers that have been there since childhood, very complex and intriguing write. I feel there is so much more to this than I will probably understand, enjoyed the read

The one that gets the plaudits, and the ones that did the work.
It\'s like the film edits at the end where the words, \'\'others\'\' come at the end and in a way they\'re marginalised into nothing.
Some will say that\'s life, but it still leaves an imprint.

Here is the image of a mask maybe a ghost that appears in the text referring to the relationship. A painting like the text refers to. Relationships are complex as is this poem and at times over time become ghosts or just pictures like a painting that one looks at and from different perspectives different focuses see different things. Well done.

Should it be \'ghosted\' in the title?! Erm, the title \'ghotsted\' - Popeye said it sounds a bit like \'glug-glugged\'. He would say that! lol.
And - good write - and all that too, wot Friendship said!
How can I understand anything cryptic with Popeye always buzzing in me ears, nattering about spinach, etc?!

Your writing was somewhat perplexing today, it presented quite a challenge for me. The poem seems to serve as a cathartic exploration of the speaker’s feelings regarding their relationship, addressing both the beauty of shared experiences and the pain of feeling like an outsider in their own life narrative. The act of remembering and reflecting is an attempt to reconcile those feelings and to understand the evolution of love.🤔👍❤️

Like acts in a play stages of mood also end and begin. A poem with many levels of metaphor. It is nicely broken into five acts and as a play speaks the the voice of one view, as a metaphor with another. Well done my friend
