Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind

    Compost?

    • arqios

      Oh, that's good, really good! Compost is a perfect image to correspond this with. Thanks for sharing 2781.

        I'll stick to one word replies, safer. Cheers

        • arqios

          Safe enough here 2781. No need for monosyllabism.

          • 2781

            I'll have to look that up!

            • arqios

              monosyllabicism? monosyllabic responses... Coining a word 'monosyllabism' as it isn't autocorrectable. lol

            • orchidee

              Yep, you've cryptically lost me again! My un-cultured fault! lol.

              • arqios

                No fault oc, no fault at all.

                • orchidee

                  One entitled a poem 'Carpe Diem'. I took so long finding out what it meant, that by the time I found out, there was no day left to seize. Doh! lol. Well, I was looking in a fishing book for 3 hours. I thought it was an old carp - carpe. (Do shut up now Orchi. lol).

                    Every day and every poem is an adventure... us explorers get the most enjoyment out of the journey!

                    It's hard dear bard to feel positive about anything these days. Those hollow logs, in their decay, will provide nourishement for new life and hopefully a better way. Such a good write my friend!

                    • arqios

                      Thanks Bella, that is so insightful and quite a treat - the idea of fertiliser and venue for new life.

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      Dead right - both will be forgotten; social media interactions have their own means of decay....

                      • arqios

                        Yes DD, thanks!

                      • L. B. Mek

                        so true! dear Poet
                        (generations, tasked to dream
                        within bit-sized hope
                        volition, bastardised by capitalist greed
                        seeking solace in ticks, swipes and clicks
                        while subjugating our horizons
                        within a marginalised scope
                        of ourselves)

                        • arqios

                          And where is it meant to end(?), one of many queries that inevitably arise! Thanks dear L.B.

                        • sorenbarrett

                          At first sight dismal, but no! I think not. Plundered and pecked to fall and rot, we as the Avatar reminds return in other forms. Our words taken by others, transformed, their source forgotten, they live on, as fire, the inventor long forgotten, except in myth as Prometheus. In nature all things have their purpose.

                          • arqios

                            No, that's right; not dismal at all. Thanks Soren.
