Most interesting the continual cycling represented in this poem. It is not only curtains.

Well written. Spring is in the air....Your poem, putting up and taking down the curtains, symbolizes not just physical protection from winter\'s harshness but also the transition and renewal that spring brings.

lol wasn\'t expecting the ending, an hilarious twist! Good question too, I\'d prefer to. Wake up and really have all my favourite food, however I get the depth of this piece, we are all living in hell right now. 🌹

Love this poem with a twist at the end. Nicely written it speaks of physical indulgence contrasted with the dream. Well done

It\'s always in the actions dear Phil, anyone can say it but it\'s the proof that brings the trust and hope that the words are true, this is a woman\'s point of view at least. Beautiful. Poetry my friend. 🌹

Well written, your poem encompasses the concept of agency in decision-making, the fear of unknown outcomes, and the reflections on personal responsibility versus reliance on external factors (like a raft or a boat). It explores the dichotomy of being fully committed versus remaining passive.

Numbers seem to matter when it is not the quantity but quality of the response that one must listen to. I love the last line that makes it clear that poets come from suffering and continual hope. Lovely

From the clues given, try to identify the 5 persons hidden within. There are general clues given below the Title that apply nearly to all 5 and specific clues within each of the 5 rhymes. Also, there are \"extra clues\" at the bottom of each segment. If all else fails there is a grab bag of names at the very bottom from which you may find the name you are looking for. If it\'s not in this list it is incorrect.
Good luck and let me know what you think in the comments. - Phil A.
