Original item by keith jeffries
The line about the "old black sit-up car" drew me in immediately...so
easy it is to forget the mundane motor vehicles of yesteryear mixed with the excitement of an outing in the offing within the perimeters
of a child's world far removed from the global news media monster
that devours innocence today.

You portray the sense of tragedy so well. I feel the pain even though I cannot imagine the depth of the sorrow.

What a great poem about the nostalgia of being a child and of that child's feelings about his father.

I have often wondered what makes them persevere into old age. It can’t be money. Perhaps they quite simply love performing. A good and well thought out poem which presents the reader with something to consider. Well done. Thanks Keith

"You speak in a toungue that can't be heard"
This is a poem that so many people will relate to.
How many of us have to watch our partners body language to try to understand how they are feeling?
Thank you for this truly sensitive poem

I have to confess to enjoying hugely the visit by the Rolling Stones to
Cuba - and the massive welcome given them by adoring fans there -
shown on a TV documentary a while ago. Of all the big Rock groups
they remain determined to "Not Fade Away". I would even enjoy
them doing their stuff sitting down and/or in wheelchairs with the
right moves!!! ?

Jon,
This brief poem reminds me of how I have often felt on a Retreat. The recipient of soulful grace in peaceful solitude. Reading this poem beckons me to such a place now.
Thank you for this

I do David thanks. On the 1 o'clock news there was a report of HMG considering allowing British citizens who travelled to fight for and support ISIS back into the UK. I am writing to my MP now to tell her exactly why this should never happen.

Ken, This excellent rendition is filled with an almost tangible melancholy as the focus shifts from past brutalities to the present day and the potential for worse to come. An impressive poem and one which I can resonate with as it embodies a certain reality about the human condition throughout history.
Thank you for this
Keith

Hi Keith, thank you for taking the time to read and comment, it really is appreciated. And in terms of style, it changes from one piece to the next and yeah I suppose you could call it semi-surreal as it is sometimes auto-writing but i do edit so it's not purely surreal.
A lot of the time, the subject dictates the style and poetry has been around so long now that I think its the role of modern writers to experiment as much as possible to try discover those rare hidden nuggets thst haven't been conveyed yet.
If there's any even left.
Thanks again.

Kaelan,
Your poetry intrigues me as you seem to use an impressionist or surrealist style. I am captivated by the language. How would you describe your work? It is highly charged and very attractive.
Thank you

Of course .. nobody has that power. Dearest Poetess Lysa .. your poem is touching humankind hearts .. that we're .. and should feel .. we're equal .. there's no doubt.

Ray,
My advice is to stay positive and allow the system to take care of you. With creeping alopecia, water retention, arthritic feet, varicose veins, in growing toe nails and bouts of giddiness I can assure you that the system is sympathetic and therapeutic.
Stay strong,
Keith

Comment is about Winters past (blog)
Original item by Martin Elder
Thank you all for your comments and observations.
When I wrote this poem I was thinking of those who hold immense power and abuse that power. Trump, Putin, the lunatic in North Korea and many in the last century who reeked internation havoc and misery: Stalin, Hitler and other dictators of the 20th century. Their ultimate master is the Evil One - Satan, the great liar and manipulator. Martin, I must confess the Book of Revelation sits in the background as I was a student of Theology at Oxford. I therefore see the conflict between darkness and light as being played out within ourselves and throughout the world.
Thank you again for your interest.
Keith

Anyone in particular in mind when you wrote this one Keith?
I suppose it could refer to lots of people on lots of levels.
I wonder if the "master" has a master of his own. Or is he the big-boss.
