Notes About The Poem

Sponsor: Edward Ibeh, Date: 06/20/2026, Title: The Race for Hollow Gold

The Race for Hollow Gold

Sometimes men's ambitions can be
Like bird eggs coated in gold
Place in nest back in the tree
If mother accepts lie told
Hatchlings she'll never behold

Behold metamorphosis, if 
They let Holy Spirit
Come in, let go all their tiffs
His love will flow this is implicit
In Bible explained explicit     

finis'

Nette Onclaud June 20, 2026 at 9:54 PM this reminds me of midas' gold, sara...beautifully crafted...huggs Sara Kendrick June 21, 2026 at 4:28 AM Thank you, Nette. Yes, it is similar to the midas' touch. Sara K.

John Loving Iii June 20, 2026 at 4:35 PM Coming up I always listened to stories of bird rejection because of human touch. So I paid close attention to this one. Sara Kendrick June 21, 2026 at 4:27 AM Yes, John, I was told that a person shouldn't touch a bird's nest or the parents would reject the eggs or the babies. I was saying more that if a person only seeks after wealth in life, it can ruin their life and that of others around them. Sometimes ambition takes over their life which leaves nothing in their life but hollow gold. Sara K.

Andrea Dietrich June 19, 2026 at 11:02 PM A very interesting interpretation. I wrote something very different myself. Not posted yet Sara Kendrick June 20, 2026 at 5:24 AM Great that all the soupers write from a different angle which makes the soup have so many flavors, Andrea. I have not entered it into the contest yet and don't know if I will. Sara K.
