Queen Selene
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.

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.

Queen Selene

“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. 🥂✨

sorenbarrett said:
A poetic story pairing the natural good but weak follower with the strong but too bold that joins the evil due to a headstrong persistence. Great lines and the use of spelling deviations to mark the demonic. Great symbolism and a sense of darkness. A narrative poem it tells its story well. Evil overcomes. Very nice Tristan

Friendship said:
The poem explores the tension between faith and the darker aspects of human nature, particularly how the pursuit of power can lead one astray. It reflects the internal struggle of a monk who follows a crusader, questioning his beliefs and the morality of their actions as they encounter evil.

C\'mon now, folks, pay up towards my private, rented pew-box, complete with doors and curtains - as in olden days. Curtains so I can doze off during sermons probably, or you\'ll think I\'m there but I\'m not behind the curtains. lol.

Ahh, a hymn-poem! Doh! An extra syllable crept in at Verse 2, line 2. You could make it \'tis\' instead of \'it is\'. Well, it does fit if you sing the \'Protect it\' bit quickly. We must know these things exactly! lol. That was about Primary School \'School Hymn\' as a sort of motto.
Rollup, roll up, to some churches where you gotta PAY for everything, even £3 (or $3) for an Art Group, towards cost of materials I suppose. Even St Paul is fair and not money-grabbing.

Clever wording in this poem. The word play is wonderful with (profit) as well in the first line (free or poor) (duty-free) So much hypocrisy in man made religion pointed out in the (fee) that not only rhymes with (free) but is an antonym. Turned upside down an inverted cross it is. A fave

Well written, this poem revolves around the theme of exclusivity in faith and spiritual elitism. It critiques the notion that salvation or inclusion in a religious community is contingent upon status or financial means, as well as the commodification of faith. The subject matter addresses the tension between spiritual ideals of equality and the reality of societal hierarchies.

The poem explores themes of oppression, societal division, and the moral complexities surrounding freedom and identity. It critiques a society that values conformity over diversity, leading to the marginalization of those who do not fit a particular mold.
