A Mime\'s Mockery
Friendship said:
Well written, my friend, your poem revolves around feelings of self-loathing, isolation, and the struggle for recognition and validation in a world that often feels indifferent or dismissive. The subject matter delves into the speaker’s internal conflict, highlighting their dissatisfaction with their appearance, their emotional state, and their relationships. The poem captures the essence of feeling overwhelmed and misunderstood, particularly in the face of unreciprocated feelings and the haunting presence of others\' indifference.

This captures the ache of being emotionally unheard and unseen with stark clarity. The \'mime\' metaphor is especially poignant
- expressing the frustration of being present, expressive, even generous, yet met with silence or indifference. It’s a quiet scream, beautifully restrained. Well written dearest Tittu ❤️🌹 A fave 🌹

In a world that has gown noisier and words have grown less used, where all explodes except the voice we all become ghosts, seen but not heard. A very poignant write Tristan

Shadows Walk Again
Paul Bell said:
As the years go by and friends pass on, you realise your own immortality is waning.
I remember my own father stopping going to funerals, and I\'m sure this is why.
Life and death, we\'re all in it.

Friendship said:
The poem explores themes of loss, emotional isolation, and the struggle to connect with one\'s own feelings and those of others. The speaker grapples with the pain of losing friends and the resulting emptiness, as well as the difficulty of navigating their own emotional landscape.

The Sky
arqios said:
The “great fireball” feels like a metaphor for ultimate annihilation, whether that’s the sun’s eventual death, human-caused catastrophe, or simply the inevitability of mortality. The contrast between the euphoric “trip of a lifetime” and the stark finality of “there will be death” makes the piece powerful. It’s almost like a reminder that joy and doom are intertwined, and that cycles of creation and destruction are inseparable. What I especially like is how the poem moves from the personal (a trip through the sky) to the universal (the end of all things). It’s both intimate and cosmic.

It\'s being so cheerful wot keeps you going😂
Got that kind of raw prophetic feel that I imagine could be found in the bible; but I don\'t know - they would have kept us away from passages like that at Sunday School (a little limited, but did try to be kind).
The effort you put into presentation, Tristan continues to call for a tribute - Here.
Thanks for the chance to read.

Doggerel Dave said:
Impossible not to pay attention to, or as through the ages revere, the moon - Its beauty, its phases its effect on the tides… but even though invisible to me, I do feel saddened at the thought of its (her?) conversion into a parking lot.
Keep up the advocacy, Tristan.

Queen Selene
Friendship said:
The poem explores the tension between feminine power and the often dismissive attitudes of patriarchal society. It highlights the contrast between the divine femininity represented by Selene, the moon goddess, and the trivialization of her power by men. The speaker addresses Selene as a radiant figure who remains untouched and revered despite the attempts of men to assert their dominance.

Keyara S Trotman said:
“Queen Selene” I have never heard of her before she seems quite the queen you’d see being reigned and grandeur. One to slay, one that stays true. As for the moon crescent, I love that although it’s not a full moon because of course the moon has so many phases she’s facing it fiercely. Her long flowing hair, it’s comb, the waves or wavy hairs gives. Well put together, your words and the entirety, the volume of your words, the expression of “ball” vibes, poetry vibez 🥂✨✨✨👊🏼

Haha, this is brilliant; men strut around bragging about “landing” on the moon, but she’s still up there glowing, untouched, rolling her eyes at us like the eternal mom we never outgrow. That “petulant children” ending? Perfect cosmic burn. 🌙🔥

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨✨✨Yes Tristan, you are definitely making an impression here with your words, needless to say with the image. While that apple is appearing to balance on his head he is getting shot with an arrow from behind. That is quite the sight, or shall I say scene here depicted🥲. Tristan keep up the good work. This written piece is short yet you’ve managed to still give great details along with some great wisdom. 🥂✨
