I like mushrooms. Eating them that is. You have enlightened me to another side of them. Thir fight to break through the earth and then to make more mushrooms and then retire as you so aptly describe.Nice effort and I hope it goes well in the contest.
Cheers

What an interesting poem. I've never heard of a field mushroom. I like where you said it Shoulders itself. Very good poem. Good luck with the contest.

You make a very good analogy with your poem and it also has a very strong and striking presentation. I like that you added in your author's note how you came across this particular writing and what caused you to write this particular poem. If we're not learning something as we're expressing ourselves then it's kind of a waste both are wasted the expression and the Knowledge, I feel. Thank you for sharing this poem. It is thought provoking too.

Best wishes,

Alex

I dread the limits place on artistry, but it takes an artist to find a way to make sense of it and still emerge with something beautiful. It causes me to see the struggles of being born, briefly living and retuning to the earth. Thank you for your gift.

An excellent entry for the 15 syllable contest. I love the visual of the mushroom birthing itself, shoulders first through the ground. Very creative description. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

This was a very interesting poem, and you expressed it in fifteen syllables (yes, I counted)! I like that this is a reflection on a different line. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
