This felt to me having a conversation with ones self, but stripping out all the layers of protection built up over the years,like the mask, to try to get an understanding of who we really are , what events happened along the way to makes us who we are today. Possibly breaking down memory barriers that have been there since childhood, very complex and intriguing write. I feel there is so much more to this than I will probably understand, enjoyed the read

The one that gets the plaudits, and the ones that did the work.
It\'s like the film edits at the end where the words, \'\'others\'\' come at the end and in a way they\'re marginalised into nothing.
Some will say that\'s life, but it still leaves an imprint.

Here is the image of a mask maybe a ghost that appears in the text referring to the relationship. A painting like the text refers to. Relationships are complex as is this poem and at times over time become ghosts or just pictures like a painting that one looks at and from different perspectives different focuses see different things. Well done.

Should it be \'ghosted\' in the title?! Erm, the title \'ghotsted\' - Popeye said it sounds a bit like \'glug-glugged\'. He would say that! lol.
And - good write - and all that too, wot Friendship said!
How can I understand anything cryptic with Popeye always buzzing in me ears, nattering about spinach, etc?!

Your writing was somewhat perplexing today, it presented quite a challenge for me. The poem seems to serve as a cathartic exploration of the speaker’s feelings regarding their relationship, addressing both the beauty of shared experiences and the pain of feeling like an outsider in their own life narrative. The act of remembering and reflecting is an attempt to reconcile those feelings and to understand the evolution of love.🤔👍❤️

Good write T. I know The Theatre of Popeye. Oh, what themes do they have? What sort of plays? people ask us. We can\'t answer that, except to say there is always the theme of spinach included! lol :)

Like acts in a play stages of mood also end and begin. A poem with many levels of metaphor. It is nicely broken into five acts and as a play speaks the the voice of one view, as a metaphor with another. Well done my friend

Death in the night and the legend is born.
If the natives have beliefs, you just know the perpetrator is going to exploit them.
Horses in the night always does it for me.

Beyond the particularities Tristan, the atmosphere of almost constant terror is clearly portrayed.
PS: No chance of you cheering up this side of Halloween........is there?

Well done, my friend,your poem explores the haunting legacy of colonial violence and the struggle for justice against oppressive forces. It reflects on the cyclical nature of violence and the impact of history on present-day communities, particularly through the lens of Indigenous experiences in the face of settler colonialism.

When mystery is caged in doctrine, faith hardens — a paradox turned formula becomes the arteriosclerosis of the spirit. Poor Nestorius, trapped in theological politics🙏🏻🕊️

Those indoctrinated are rigid and brittle taking offense at any perceived pressure are intolerant of differences in their belief. I see metaphors in this poem of Christian beliefs. Well written

The decision we\'ve all come across. Do we or do we not?
The time of year adds to the gloom, and nature takes its course.
I wonder as humans if we\'re becoming more insular.

Beautifully thought out write but sad, the harsh reality of death for all living creatures, I would of at least moved it, so it didn\'t get hit again. Another great write

Really appreciate the fusion of cold, death and apathy so well alluded to in your disciplined piece and the commentary following, Tristan. With all of you all the way.
On just a marginally more practical note: You are there - either save the bear or shoot it, because I can\'t stand the ongoing agony....

No, not a Popeye tale. I took a dead fox on a country lane to a pub once. Not sure why I did. Maybe I thought they could bury it. But they were aghast.

Well said. The poem explores themes of mortality, apathy, and the inevitability of death, juxtaposed with the beauty of the autumn season. It suggests that the indifference of people to suffering reflects a deeper existential truth about life and death.

Stark and cold as the season you blend and carry though each stanza with the image. The cold reality of death pulls at the heart. Nature\'s way for all to see with little that can be done but accept and prepare for the winter. Your imagery is splendid Tristan but it is the construction and blending that gets the fave on this poem and its message. Very nice
