I hope you will, Alan. A good friend's parents both acquired Alzheimer's about the same time. Her mother passed first. Her father never forgot his beloved wife ever. But what he did forget daily, was that she had died. It broke my heart. I have wondered myself, about that too--
There are many pictures frozen in my head.I hope you have a good day with lots of hugs.

The Queen of Flowers

There are as many beautiful poems as there are beautiful Roses.

Sapphire is the first we know of....she and that "Rose" have inspired many other writers ever since, including you!

This is beautiful.....you can never have too many "Roses" and our beautiful granddaughter, Rose, is among them!

I enjoyed reading.
Thank you very much.

Amazing! This is a first for me!
Reading a poetic siloquay on pee.
And enjoying every word expressed.
It made me reflect. My mate could quite relate, but at least he doesn't have to travel far.....and I'm thinking: " I hope the poem ends with you finding your way back to your bed!" And with relief, you did!

You are very creative! 🙃🫣🤗

You are a verbal artist in the most precious way. Those words you constructed painted a pure vision of the most beautiful explanation of purposeful love lived- the most beautifully expressed that I have ever read...this was something I was just thinking about, too, and it is as if you plucked it right out of my head. What is love? Real love....not the facsimile of a fickle love. Real love is stable or stabilizes....but its survival is rooted in nurture. Romantic love confuses. Shallow love does not survive-- especially when corrupted by jealousy and hate. Your poem touched my heartstrings deeply. It made me reflect on the loss of my parents too early in their lives, how I miss them and how I have come full circle, made a love commitment with a new focus to live as long as I can for my children and grandchildren's sake. I want to see them all grow up....I might even get the privilege of meeting future great-grandchildren. Wow. And when I read your words "For you I shall be strong"- it evoked a special personal meaning because for many years I struggled with severe depression that was severe enough to entertain thoughts of suicide. I couldn't hurt my family like that and so I'd wake up each day wishing it would end soon, I wanted to die and my will to live had vanished. But that all changed, thankfully. I am thankful beyond words. I know my family loves me and needs me. I am wanted and I want them.They are the reason I want to live out a long life and by the Grace of God, I am going to apply the wisdom from God to make that happen.
Thank you for this beautiful poem that speaks in a universal tongue. The Subject of your poem should know it, too....the rich, deepness of this love you have for them. Love is indeed a powerful healer.

But cars are utterly useless without the fuel....controlled by
The monkey wrench tool

Totalitarianism at its finest.

Besides having a great title-
Your short poem just resonates with a masterful use of metaphor! I can intensely feel the pain locked within the strong emotions the wording evokes-- balancing between the flight [of ambition] and the sky [of a vast indifferet society] and the withdrawal [alluding to a failure or abandonment].

The dynamic strength is in the wisdom revealed by the ultimate acceptance found in the the turn (Volta): The transition at "Now, grounded / not by grief, but grace" is without a doubt, the poem's strongest point. It hints of forgiveness and shifts the tone from "victim" to one who found peace and self-acceptance despite the adversities endured. The burn marks resonate a visceral conclusion implying that the wounds of survival the writer experienced, permanently shaped them for the better without becoming bitter.
It reveals strength born from weakness.

This poem is excellent.

I wish you the best of success. I have a few friends that persevered in that publishing market and ultimately met success and you can too, Ken! Good Luck! I hope it happens soon!

Would his life still make sense ?

I could not possibly know the answer to a question like that. It is so in the realm of the fairy-tales.
Instead, I would ask the question in reflection, did it ever make sense?

Billionaires are in a unique and small class of humans that can do anything they want--- except buy love. They truly don't own or have control over the one they choose to be their life partner.....all that wealth becomes a burden in the relationship and complicates things. More factors than just money influences the dynamics of any relationship. What blows my mind is the poor 10 year old girl marrying the wealthy 33 year old man and already pregnant because the culture of Islam allows it. Bleh.

2026-07-22
It is evening here. And hot! Been traveling and alot is going on, but finally, I have a moment to respond. I too, am glad to hear from you. It does sound like you are improving.....you still got that mojo. 🙂
Your rhymes are still the best!

2026-07-15
This is absolutely beautiful and exquisitely creative. I have now read it several times. It is incredible how you plant the imagery in my mind.....I feel like I am there with you. Your eyes' vision presented through your amazingly structured and choice words, are like windows and the view is like a beautiful painting of this beautiful place. I love reading your descriptions of this paradise in Sweden. Thank you ❣️💞🙂

This piece IS well written and provocative. It is worthy of responding to. It can provoke healthy communication and discussions or not. Our choices, really. Each of us, as unique individuals, will get different impressions with different responses. I will clarify what seems to be possibly misunderstood by the words in my phrase "Man's disgusting behaviors" as to what I meant by that. The "why" part that Allen focused on, I totally agree-- "our will" may not be the same as "God's Will" and that fact is hard for us to understand now but we will one day.

Sameen's words caused me to reflect what he said on a deeper level concerning mankind's relationship with "God" and the associated behaviors. Such as:

The fact that several ancient civilizations practiced human sacrifice and prayer to appease deities and secure rain for successful crops. These offerings were viewed as a vital transaction—giving life to the gods in exchange for the rainfall and agricultural abundance required for the community's survival.

And equally brought to mind the fact that religious music and hymns function much like prayers and sacrifices. They are powerful vehicles for appealing to God for help, protection, or forgiveness. Through melody and lyrics, believers express devotion, make petitions, and offer the "sacrifice of praise," establishing a spiritual connection that transcends spoken words.

Man's disgusting behaviors he invented for himself....because he does not know and understand the one, true God, our Creator.

It's all related.

When God doesn't answer or in the way you want is another, related topic. The question why? Is quite an open one....And it effects us all.

2026-07-13
Man's religious-religion-related behaviors are rather disgusting...I get you....and what you are really conveying. I understand very well and I am not judging you...I have questioned too....just like you. I am ashamed to admit that I have cursed God out with the worst words possible. As to introducing music in the mix, it is very powerful. I see song and music as a means to influence and control our emotional side. Play the right song may influence your sense of inner strength, but playing the wrong ones can weaponize and indoctrinate the mind just as well. I wish you the best, Sameen in finding your own truth that gives you contentment and joy. Every one's journey will be and is different and unique.

Love? Besides love for family, I very well remember my first kiss and first experience in feeling romantic love. Danny Lynn Beck was his name and he was also the first I grieved after learning of his untimely death.

It amazes me how our interactions trigger our thoughts and memories, ideas and opinions through our involvement with writing.
Writing is a very good thing!
That is why I will continue to support this site. I value what it represents.

2026-07-13
I quite understand the words expressed.
I put my foot in my mouth.
I'm learning.

I remember laying in my crib too long.
I think that is why I have a flat head.

Seriously, our details are different but we all breathe and bleed. I can't truly know another pain and joy except through tasting my own-- linking through empathy. But we all must experience this while in our carnal existence.
We really can't know each other but we can love each other. I love you and all people but it is not an easy task. Some people are harder to love than others. Some are very easy to love. I am imperfect, just as we all are. I am flawed and you are flawed....but I believe in reaching out, seeking solutions for humans wellbeing and benefit (which includes me too of course!) and most of all: forgiveness of our sins.

Have a blessed day, Alan.

Nice write, Ann.
I like how you incorporated towards the end the popular metaphor of women as waves and men as the shoreline within this very literal and evocative description observed through your eyes. While I prefer a quieter setting now days, settings such as these are very good for socializing, where friends and family fun can be more engaging. In the USA, there are plenty of places like this. People gravitate to it so much that at certain times, it is hell on traffic coming and going. I go to those places off season.
I enjoyed reading. Thank you.

Cucumbers will get cumbrous with pests if not properly nurtured.

Humans are kind of like these cucumbers.....

Intentions matter.
In my humble opinion.

You really have a gift with these juxtapositions and it clearly defines your style, which I like very much, once I get a grasp of understanding those parts I sometimes do not understand. But doing my homework has always helped with that aspect.

I especially like the way you expressed a healthy relationships' intimacy....
Ejactulating equivalates to Orgasmic--- and who knows maybe the process helps longevity? [Laughing out Loud] and who knows- perhaps natural testosterone acquired from a man might enhance the woman's health beneficially. *blush blush*

Life's History sure plays a mean pinball.
Great poem. I learned something new, too.
I understood the meaning of your poetry's words much better after reading of the pinball ban and why. I never knew about this.
Thank you for this contribution that has broadened my knowledge of this world. And a Crazy world it is.

Love it! Succinctly well done and witty, yet packed with symbolic dualism.
Well, if I'm wrong, it IS what I read into this little provocative gem. Kudos!

Hello and Good Day, Nils. Buddha had it right on many things!
It doesn't mean be simple- minded, though, in my humble opinion.
It means anybody, including complex people, can learn to regulate their lives on a simple level and it is truly and peacefully rewarding when people can achieve that state of existence.

Hope you like this music :

Sinon, on pourrait utiliser son esprit créatif et offrir des services au lieu de voler..... lancer sa propre entreprise...... Des exemples pourraient être dans l'entretien des espaces verts, la garde d'animaux, ou même dans le domaine artistique, par exemple en dessinant des portraits d'animaux ou de personnes. Le risque à voler pour survivre est trop grand : la peur de se faire prendre ou tuer sur le fait vous guette constamment. Je le comprends tout à fait, mais ce n'est pas une façon de vivre.

❣️Genius❣️ When I first read this and the first few stanzas, it provoked a reminder of how my vision is deteriorating and I look out into the woods and imagine people or animals until I get a closer view. I took a break and came back to read it again. Oh, how I do love the flowers and would rather stay on the surface level. But this is obviously meant to be deeper.
Your use of juxtaposition is excellent [the placement of two or more things—such as concepts, characters, or images—side by side.] I gravitate towards the use of this technique when it is well done, emphasizing their differences, highlighting unexpected similarities, or creating a dynamic, thought-provoking effect. 🎯

Also, not too long and not too short.
It is just right.
Perfect.

I can easily agree! I do love me some soccer. I was rooting for England and glad they won against Mexico. I'm looking forward to tonight's game when we play Belgium. I'll be ecstatic if we win because they are one of the top teams.

2026-06-25
Then, don't step into it. The truth is a refreshing breath out in the open air. Don't go there into that crowd.....the same crowd that plays "follow the leader"......off a cliff.

The poem's creativity, structural dynamics are very good. The metaphors are easy to grasp. The excellent title, "Truth Al Fresco" is a great metaphorical title, subjecting truth to the unpredictable interpretations of the outside world.

It is a unique way of expressing the limits of language and the inherently subjective nature of human connection.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading every word.

Good morning! I am so glad to hear from you! You are, indeed, The Poet Man! You can turn any situation into poetical expression. And considering the impairments you have to deal with, it is extremely exceptional!
I would love to see this site create a new feature that can honor Poetbay Poets such as yourself, after their passing, by creating oral recordings of the author reading his own work or someone else reading it for them on their behalf. I think it actually was your idea and we talked about it briefly. It would be an awesome way to preserve a poet's work.

2026-06-24
This poem's verses are very creative. A unique expression that hits the heart strings. We all had or have mothers-- but not all received an enduring, nurturing relationship with their own mothers. My mother had strengths and weaknesses. My parents eventually became alcoholics and it cut their lives short. In that sense, I never wanted to be like my mom. I do not consume alcohol and I feel great.

2026-06-19
Oh my, what a quagmire our health can become. But when I read your latest, it gave me a startle, because I wrote a poem a few days ago with that word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". I'll share it later with you. But not here. I did not want to publish it because it was more of a rambling mind moment, but I think you'll understand. I hope you get better.

J'ai beaucoup appris de vous d'une manière inattendue. J'accorde une grande valeur à cet apprentissage. L'écriture expressive est une bonne chose. Mais elle ne signifie rien quand il y a des obstacles à la compréhension de ce qui est écrit. J'ai rapidement découvert cela avec la poésie traduite. Elle ne maintient pas toujours une équivalence mot à mot, ce qui influence le sens et la compréhension exacte. Ensuite, il y a notre bagage d'expériences. Nous partageons peut-être beaucoup de choses, mais lorsque nous vivons dans des mondes si divers et distants, il peut être plus difficile de saisir ce qui est transmis. Pour moi, c'est une invitation à poser des questions pour en savoir plus, car je veux que nous partagions tous ensemble ce temps et cet espace sur Terre dans la paix et l'harmonie.

This one has no relevance for me whatsoever.
Celui-ci n'a absolument aucune pertinence pour moi.
I had to look it up to know what you were referring to.
J'ai dû chercher pour savoir à quoi vous faisiez référence.
Am I "out of touch"?
Suis-je "déconnecté" (ou "déphasé") ?
Oh definitely and preferably so.
Oh, très certainement, et je préfère qu'il en soit ainsi.
This is representative of the garbage I rejected.
C'est représentatif de la camelote (ou "des ordures") que j'ai rejetée.

When? How about now?

You cannot have one without the other, just like asking which came first—the chicken or the egg.

A mollusk's shell grows organically in perfect harmony with its body, creating an inseparable, custom-made fit.
Unlike a hermit crab that outgrows a shell and has to find a new one, a mollusk's shell grows organically in perfect proportion to its soft body. It is a perfect metaphor for a custom-made fit and natural boundaries.This unity symbolizes natural boundaries, self-acceptance.
The gem found in this poem is this: live comfortably in one's own space, embrace who you are without the need to "outgrow" or "change" identity.

"ONE SHELL, ONE MOLLUSK" .....

is the resolution serving as a statement of unity and identity. The organism with its own armor are inseparably linked as a single, harmonious entity. It illustrates how the two exist in perfect, symbiotic balance, acting as a metaphor for being content with exactly who you are and the space you occupy.

Kudos to your creation.
I love it.

"Darkness" is the absence of "light".

The earth has rumbled many times and will rumble some more and this poem does evoke visions of an earthquake in my mind. But I can also see it in a metaphorical way... I might see something not there. But the feeling this generates is man vs nature and survival. I have never experienced an actual earthquake but I have a flood. The first opening lines triggered my childhood memories. I was an outdoor playing little kid and when confined to the inside I would easily get bored. Our mom made us take naps. But I would turn my head and look at all the rooms upside down and imagine the ceiling was the floor and the floor was the ceiling. I was just a little kid but it was an amusing view through my eyes.

I have no words just tears.

2026-06-08
💔 I am sending my hugs through these "air waves", since I can't be there in person. Ann, I feel your sadness and the longing your words so somberly convey. I can not even begin to fathom the deepness of such sorrow. It brings me to tears to even try to bear the thought regarding my own or anyone else having to bear it.. I have many friends that have indeed lost their children, passing away before they did. Our oldest son was estranged from us for a few years and that felt almost the same as if he died. Fortunately that situation healed and we are a coherent, loving family once again. I am saddened to learn you have this sorrow to bear. I pray for your comforting.

2026-06-07
Beautiful.
I believe you.

Longer poems and written works takes me longer to digest. We are worlds apart but we share our 8th decade and I could not ever write a piece as good as this is concerning life, death, my mother. What can I say? I feel it so strongly because I can understand and relate to this. 🪻Thank you for sharing your English version. I have recently discovered the world of translators.....are not so good

2026-06-07
I do not have any criticism. But I do like your poem's conceptual complexity, which leaves me puzzled in the realm of star, meteor personification. I think maybe, I would just want to stay in a safe, gravitational orbit.
Good luck on your exam!

Our Creator and the Evil Entities are very real. "Overcoming" this reality requires effort and discipline and it is not easy. It's even harder when this evil darkness clouds one's vision to the point of blindness and they are unable to see there way out of it. Even harder when you have a situation where the blind are leading the blind. I do not know the person behind that curtain that created this writing. I think most humans go through this more intensely, when not efficiently prepared for life and lacking in a support system. I care and I do hope ALL those that are suffering and struggling with this will find the connections that can change the situation from negatives into positives. But much is found inside you- within each individuals self determination to conquer the adversity each life gets presented with. Personally, I spoke out to these evil forces and their master-- "You are NOT getting me, you will not win the Battle over my soul's future....oh no, Dragons. I'll kick your ass with everything I got.
It's up to you if you want to let these demons win or not.

2026-06-06
Thank you very much for explaining. Yes, I am capable of that (laughing at myself-- of seeing what's not there in terms of what it means). But I appreciate your explanation. I see your poem differently now, and how you intended it. And yes, from seeing it that way, you are very right.

It is definitely a unique way of putting it. I got distracted by the actual meaning of the Fable itself versus your symbolic use to illustrate the poor guy who wishes he could fly vs the guy that will in his future (or has that power now) over the skies. Wealth. The symbolism behind the weapon.
I finally "get it". Thank you. Sincerely.

2026-06-06
Back to your poem's implications that begs the question:

Well then, who is "they".
I know who Icarus was as well as why he wanted those wings.

Your poem brought to mind 2 American Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, both once were at the helm of human governance. Truman dropped the Atomic bomb, backed by the concept it would end all future wars as well and well, the sacrifice was thought to reduce the actual death counts associated with the war. Unfortunately it required sacrificing innocent people . Eisenhower was the opposite. He was not a war monger and did not profit off of war. All the Icaruses of the world could have food to eat and wings to fly with clear skies and no residue ever to cloud anyone's place and space. Do you think you can shut down these war machines and war mongers by the continual production of such?
That is the reality. So, who are "they"?

Que signifie le terme "Bernard" dans ce contexte ? Je suppose qu'il s'agit du gars de la psychanalyse, puisque vous avez mentionné un "thérapeute" (c'est l'indice contextuel). "Bernard" est un nom de famille courant ; l'expression est fréquemment utilisée comme abréviation pour des pratiques spécifiques de physiothérapie, d'ergothérapie ou de santé mentale (comme Bernard Counseling ou un hôpital paroissial local spécifique).Dans le cadre d'une thérapie conversationnelle ou assistée par l'animal, cela peut faire référence aux chiens Saint-Bernard travaillant comme animaux de thérapie. Connus pour leur taille massive et leur tempérament extrêmement doux et apaisant, ils visitent fréquemment les hôpitaux, les maisons de retraite et les écoles pour apporter soutien émotionnel et réconfort.Thérapie diadynamique (courants de Bernard)Développé dans les années 1950 par le dentiste français Pierre Bernard, ce traitement utilise des courants électriques pulsés à basse fréquence pour réduire la douleur, améliorer la circulation locale et détendre les spasmes musculaires. Il est souvent utilisé pour traiter les entorses, les névralgies et les affections articulaires. [J'utilise ce traitement à la place des médicaments. Tout ce que je peux confirmer, c'est que la thérapie diadynamique fonctionne pour moi.]

Je n'ai jamais consulté de psychiatre pour quelque traitement psychiatrique que ce soit et pour quelque raison que ce soit, et je n'ai pas non plus l'intention de le faire. Je ne joue pas aux dominos économiques de ce monde. Même si j'étais richissime, ce n'est pas ainsi que j'investirais mon argent. Je ne peux pas m'identifier à cela. Mais merci de m'en avoir donné un aperçu précieux.
"Merci de m'avoir fait découvrir cette fenêtre sur votre monde. Ce n'est pas le mien. Nous sommes à bien des égards deux mondes opposés. Et c'est très bien ainsi, mais il m'est plus difficile de concevoir et de comprendre votre univers tel qu'il s'exprime dans ce poème."

Hello. My impression is it would be a better poem if it wasn't based in an inference made errantly. It is just an opinion and I hope the following helps in clarifying my critique. If you do not want me critiquing your work, please just kindly message me. I respect your wishes, if that be the case. I don't read everything or everyday what is written here, nor read consistently other authors' work. But I do try.

"To own the skies
We need weapons"
-The Conqueror,

Sounds like a quote that a gamer might make.

But President Dwight D. Eisenhower actually said these words:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed."

No truer words are these. And those that destroy- those that destroy the earth are evil- all of them.

I think you missed the point in the Fable of Icarus. I could be wrong, it is just the impression I got from the vagueness of the words' inference as to why Icarus wanted to fly.


Do not fly too high! Reaching too far and exceeding human limits leads to crashing.

Do not fly too low! Staying too close to the ground, wings get wet and heavy.

Conclusion: Stay on the "middle path" and BALANCE AMBITION with CAUTION and SELF-AWARENESS.

The precise lesson of the Icarus fable is the danger of hubris (excessive pride or arrogance) and the necessity of moderation. By ignoring his father's advice and flying too close to the sun, Icarus let ambition and exhilaration BLIND him to his own limitations, which resulted in his deadly fall.The fable conveys its meaning through the two specific guidelines that were given by his father, Daedalus.

It was not naive curiosity without purpose.

I don't track time or wear a wristwatch. I raise my glass in honor of the Mother of Hubble, Nancy Grace Roman. And I thank you for posting this.

While Objects in L3 cannot be seen from Earth. It offers the potential to observe the FAR SIDE OF THE SUN.

A spacecraft at L1, L2, or L3 is ‘META-STABLE’, like a ball sitting on top of a hill. A little push or bump and it starts moving away, so a spacecraft must use frequent rocket firings to stay in the 'HALO ORBITS around the LAGRANGIAN POINT.

L4 and L5 Lagrange Points as seen from the Sun, the L4 and L5 points lie at 60 degrees ahead of and behind Earth, close to its orbit.

Unlike the other Lagrange points, L4 and L5 are RESISTANT TO GRAVITATIONAL PERTURBATIONS. BECAUSE of this STABILITY, objects such as dust and asteroids tend to accumulate in these regions.

At L4 or L5, a SPACECRAFT IS TRULY STABLE, like a ball in a large bowl. When gently pulled out of place, it orbits the Lagrange point without drifting away.

I can appreciate a metaphorical hint in this writing expressed, but many will probably not understand it.Or maybe the metaphors are just in my own imagination. Poetry can be puzzling, yes?
It certainly can-- which is why a good amount written is totally misunderstood. Creating a meaning out of something not intended is still creative. [said laughingly: I think? maybe?]

But I am just a simple minded star-gazer that appreciates the observable things of the universe.

I am not a satellite or a rocket ship.

I pray for you, your wife and many others suffering.
I admire you- your work is proof. You made your mark. I love you--
Most misunderstand when I say those words. I love you because all of our lives do matter. What I admire is the expression of yours which is unique, as all are unique. I want to hear you speak until you can no longer do it. I think Wade and I are beginning to show early signs of dementia too. His younger brother just had a stent put in his carotid in his neck. He recently had a minor stroke. A good friends parents also got alzheimers about the same time. Her mother passed first. What was so very sad, due to the dementia, he asked where his wife was everyday after she died because he couldn't remember it had happened until he was reminded. I can't imagine having to grieve for the loss in such a manner. Alan, I don't think I could handle it unless I forgot also, that it is my spouse. I hope Wade and I die at the same time. Most of my friends are widowers. I pray Our Father in Heaven gives you a tranquil and peaceful transition. I do not look forward to one day hearing the saddest news. I guess at our age, it's something we should get use to. But I can't.

The French poet was known to consume alcohol heavily, as well as embibe in opium consumption which included laudanum (a tincture of opium), both for recreational purposes and to cope with his chronic health issues, depression, and periods of withdrawal.His experiences with intoxicants deeply influenced his life and his writing. He famously documented his explorations of drugs—including opiates and hashish—in his 1860 book, Les Paradis artificiels (Artificial Paradises).

I personally, don't condone his recommendations.
