Searching for knowledge and leaving one\'s blood on the pages of poetry, science, literature or history is never a bad thing. Immortalized better than a spider that only leaves dry husks. A deep read in what at first appears to be a simple poem

Hahaha. You\'ll cherish the pesky vermin? Oh man! Back in the day too many, many years ago when we lived on the Colorado prairies, [where Texas longhorn were the cattle the rancher who let his graze across the fence from us owned] we\'d such a fly problem Dad hung not one nor two long yellow, sticky tongues of flypaper over our dining table no less; they hung there immemorially, until the carcasses of the damned dropped off into the dishes and platters below. And you\'ll immortalize one, eh? My la. Charming, I guess. Or, the proverbial fly upon the wall met its timely death when it dared to leave the wall for the artist\'s page, eh? Either way, beautifully rendered in exquisite brevity with a touch of imagery to haunt it. Thank you for sharing.

such devastation causes not only untold destruction but misery too, and ruins tell their own story
a very powerful poem starkly representing what was, and what is

You\'ve obviously caught today\'s zeitgeist here, Tristan, and by the look of the responses already in, the underlying feel is evident for many. Good for you, and them. It\'s just that for me, tattoos.................................... Blocked, I am - sorry!

Emotional attachment that comes with any tattoo is quite enormous especially if you put someone\'s name on it, my father has them all over, the one that stands out for me is the Jesus on the cross he has on his chest, it\'s huge and was painted over 60 years ago. A great theme ๐น

Tattered Tattoos
Cheeky Missy said:
Hmm. Tattoos the other means of covering aside from clothing, like the pair I saw yesterday at Panera so decked out that clothing seemed an extra, are essentially permanent yet occasionally momentary, and in the latter may well become tattered. Or I\'m too ignorant and the message in brevity so eloquently delivered is that we\'re all but ghosts painted on the fabric of forever and fading away? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Marks that stay but fade, Scared over and dirtied, tattered most poetic casts a different image and in alliteration with tattoos it rings and leaves an image of used up like a flag torn and bullet ridden in war. And so are we in the war of life. Nicely done Tristan

A poem that is holding to most people\'s feeling today. A poem of spirituality more than religion. Nicely stated Tristan

arqios said:
This poem can be read as a tender declaration: simple, steady, and quietly profound. It reclaims the language of faith and devotion not for institutions, but for love made real and present in another person. The repetition of โI donโt need religionโ becomes less a rejection and more a release (of dogma, of distance) in favour of something human, immediate, and healing. In its final lines, where heartache meets hope, the poem blossoms into something like prayer, but with open hands instead of folded ones. ๐๏ธ๐๐ป

While I\'ve never had any problem in that direction (beyond the occasional ridicule in more youthful times), Your short poem states in the clearest possible terms the pressure placed on men to behave in socially constructed norms, so perhaps this topic cannot be raised too often.
Valuable write, Tristan.

Very relatable write, I am fully aware I can show my feelings its ok these days, but I very rarely do, all my crying has always as an adult been on the inside, I know I shouldn\'t but I still percieve it to be a weekness and it makes me feel vulnerable, nicely expressed and written

Must I turn up at every poem, to \'deface\' them, to make inane comments on them, etc? - answer; yes! It\'s that old Orchi, says Fido. He don\'t care. He just barges in with any old rubbish. heehee.
