A great rundown on the one that Christmas celebrates truth or myth it takes the story of tradition and separates modern myth from ancient. Well done Tristan

Nativity of an Illegal
Friendship said:
This powerful poem shines a light on Jesus as a refugee and an outcast, deemed \'illegal\' in the face of societal struggles and injustices, sparking crucial conversations. With conviction, it disputes the notion that Jesus wasn\'t a refugee by highlighting His perilous journey as a fugitive, forced to flee danger. Critiquing modern attitudes toward immigration, it underscores pivotal themes of selflessness, defiance against oppressive systems, and the glaring flaws within power structures. Ultimately, it declares that true transformation emerges not from traditional power but through unified efforts and unwavering sacrifice.

A compelling poem, the poem conveys a deep sense of existential despair and feelings of isolation. It explores the poet\'s awareness of their own insignificance and the emotional weight of being uninvited and unwanted. The recurring theme of oblivion suggests a struggle with identity, self-worth, and the inevitability of death.

A poem that reminds one that all things have a rival and that life is no different. If there is one thing certain all things eventually die it is nature\'s sense of justice showing that all things are equal. Very nicely done my friend

Your poem revolves around the themes of love, grace, and the critique of institutionalized religion that has misinterpreted or misused spiritual teachings for control and oppression. It advocates for a more inclusive and authentic understanding of faith, emphasizing that true salvation and strength come through Christ and that love and justice should guide believers. The poet includes the contrast between genuine Christian principles and the historical misuse of religious texts and authority, highlighting a call for liberation from these misinterpretations.

Yes, rather ridiculous having services in Latin; not having Bibles in English; priests facing the altar, not facing the congregation, muttering away; or even separated by a screen. In all of this from olden days (not these days surely?) - no one has the foggiest idea or understanding of what it\'s all about. Doh!
But - oh no - one will explain to us about something, so we don\'t remain foggy. We knows who it is - glug! heehee. What will he explain to us? Don\'t answer that! lol.

The acrostic flow and strong imagery make each line resonate.
It carries both urgency and conviction without losing rhythm.

This piece hits like a fever dream. It’s incredibly visceral—moving from the clinical coldness of \"Innocence iced\" to the raw, physical irritation of \"Eczema enlightenment.\"

Whether such footage is personal memory or that of others frames of memory bring up the past. Like exposed negatives have a totally opposite view of things where black is white and white is black. Well written my friend

A powerful painting, you painted! Your poem explores themes of innocence lost, existential despair, and the fleeting nature of existence. The juxtaposition of childhood imagery with darker elements suggests a critique of societal norms and the loss of purity in a harsh world.

How difficult was it to obtain a blessing (subclass terminology), Tristan? I feel hesitant now to use the term ‘Festive Season’ without the proper authority….
(You will know I enjoyed this fun write..!)

Welcome home, my friend.❤️The poem presents a satirical commentary on the commercialization and politicization of Christmas, juxtaposing the joyous holiday with a critique of authority and power, symbolized by the White House. The \"permission granted\" suggests a sense of irony, implying that the celebration of Christmas is now subject to approval from a higher, possibly oppressive power. The poem also touches on themes of consumerism and the superficiality of love and happiness during the holiday season.

Well done, your poem expresses a critique of the corrupting influence of power within religious institutions and emphasizes the importance of humility, love, and authentic faith. It suggests that true salvation is not found in the rituals or authority of religious figures but in a personal and loving relationship with God.

Labyrinth for the Living
Paul Bell said:
Well done to you both, awesome work.
Faith, how many connotations can this relate to.
I suppose life really is a labyrinth when you think about it.
Some go in but never come out, for others it\'s an adventure.
For truth, don\'t go seeking others, seek it yourself.
