Inspirational. The art work to accompany your poem is great, the hook, so to speak. After more than one encounter with asleep people I still wonder in what ways can we extend compassion to those trapped

Indeed does this read as a positive or cautionary transformation? I see it as quite nuanced position. The poem speaks to me of fragility and societal fraction, as well as hinting hopefully of transformation

The first thing that struck me about your poem was it's lovely internal rhyme, enhanced by your repition of 'one'. I liked the line 'few have plenty and the plenty are bare' do you mean by this that they

Lol :)

You are a shining example of a good Hiver. I came on the platform to have somewhere to publish my writing. I believe in the future of crypto - still do - as a developing technology. I can't say I understand

Excellent work, as usual. I watch a guy on you tube who has jail broken his AI and it's amazing what they will admit to.

I for one will miss that crack/craik and I don't think I'll be taking any diet pills either. Our society is so fixated on medicating the problem away, don't you think?

rat's rump made me chuckle.

Thanks for the heads up, we have to be so vigilant. My daughter got scammed (not hive though) and that put an end to her crypto involvement. Criminals are everywhere.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I clicked on due to the Epstein heading and found out about the Dutch tax legislation. Both are part of globalism. They are obviously using the Netherlands as a trial

This is a real celebration in a poem. We can get stuck on negative thoughts but it is always in our own interest to reframe them and concentrate on the positives. I love how you have invited us the readers

My friend works in the gig economy - he was a travel writer in the past and he does get the occassional job still mostly for airline mags. He's done TV extra work, and rents his house out as an air bnb.

Wow. There's a lot going on in this poem. Love/lust, liberation/destruction, desire/shame. I enjoyed the phrase snip my etiquette to portray desire that could be a challenge to societal norms. Your ending

Thank you very much. Yes last lines are so important aren't they. They can be hard to get right.

Your poems' strength is in it's vivid imagery and thematic depth. The somber tone you adopt sits well with your message.

I really liked the lurking guest - the wallgecko - added a sense of vulnerability and urgency.

Your poem has captured a beautiful awakening. I particularly liked your last line, “lucid flakes of golden light” is especially evocative, painting a picture of sunlight’s delicate, shimmering touch.

I find your tone to be always so warm and inviting.

Hi there, your poem uses strong symbols like shelves, puzzles, and patterns to build your introspective journey, beautiful piece of writing.

It sure is rocking the elite and political establishment over here in the UK. Good question - 'What is the takeaway here?' It strikes me as the pivotal moment inviting reflection. It suggests that society
