Upon Hero\'s Wings

A wonderful acrostic Tristan with Myth as a backbone and background. Zeus was a naughty boy and a demigod was left and although this time not crucified still had labors to fulfill. A wonderful write and a fave

A great manner of poetically saying that true heroes act not out of desire for recognition but for the act itself. Nicely done my friend

All thumbs up 👍👍. Great write. When are we going to learn to come out of our narrow judgemental minds and appreciate what needs to be appreciated. How come someone\'s sexual leanings diminish his gigantic contribution?

As a moral tale Turing\'s story should never be allowed to be forgotten. Sorry Tristan, I would have liked to see more of the man beyond his name in the title.
That said, you poem reads as a fitting epitaph.

You can be a genius, but you can\'t be gay as well, doesn\'t go down well with the rest of the closets.
It sure took a long time for Turing to be recognised and properly thanked.
Which is a shame for one our heroes.

Well said, and powerful in words. Your poem addresses themes of heroism, manipulation, and the relationship between power and legacy. It suggests that greatness can be diminished by those who do not possess the same level of insight or integrity, reducing the impact of the original genius.

What is a hero to one a traitor to another. One man\'s champion another\'s villain. \"Small devices\" another perception by genius\' and what is genius. Bobby Fisher made mistakes at times. I see a pawn here that may become a queen. Manipulated by small men (politics) where the behind the scenes and the powerful are small men in other ways. The last stanza predicts death or checkmate where the king is dead. Deep my fiend

Great title and represents my nightmares as a child.
What are the worms going to do now that the burial grounds are full up and we\'re all getting burnt to ash.
Life and death in the animal kingdom, nightmares and fairytales. Very apt for a Monday.

Well done. Your poem explores themes of mortality, despair, and the macabre nature of existence. It juxtaposes the innocence of counting and childhood with dark imagery and reflections on death, suffering, and the cyclical nature of life. The poet delves into the grotesque and surreal aspects of life, using imagery related to death, decay, and the eerie elements of nature. It reflects a sense of hopelessness and the inevitability of mortality.

Tristan this is a numerologist\'s dream so many messages in each line woven in rhyme. Metaphor piled on metaphor layers of meaning. It is dark with the macabre name that goes unmentioned only whispered by singed moths. There are spiders and fileted flesh. Worms normally in Mescal now in Tequila. Are the horses from the kings men that tried to put Humpy Dumpty together again? And those wolves standing tall where is the shepherd? Did he cry wolf too many times? Those cardigan covered corpses were the buttons to facilitate the fileting of flesh? Crazy questions no doubt off base but this poem makes the mind race. Good one my friend

That\'s the trouble - religiosity. From a commentary: Some of Jesus\' sharpest words were to the \'religious\' leaders of his day.
P and Co \'religiously\' continue. Continue what? Don\'t answer that! lol.

Magnificent Tristan, some wonderful lines here
\"And holiness is measured by
Righteousness over religiosity.\"
So true but the one that struck hardest
\"Measured by their faithfulness to love,
Every disciple follows the Teacher,
Regardless of the personal cost.
Only love will win out in the end.\"
It is in that four letter word that comes another, hope. Hope for the individual and the species. A fave

Well done. Your poem addresses themes of spirituality, justice, and the essence of true holiness. It critiques superficial religiosity and advocates for a practice of faith that is deeply rooted in love, dignity, and social justice.

Well expressed a feeling of loss, yet hope. Your poem revolves around the struggle against despair and the desire for liberation from oppressive circumstances. It captures a journey from hopelessness to empowerment, emphasizing the importance of self-realization and rebellion against a tormenting existence. Yet it also addresses themes of suffering, resilience, and transformation. It reflects on the futility of wishing for unattainable things, the pain of lost dreams, and the awakening of a rebellious spirit that seeks truth and freedom.
