Brian-
You are right, a groan did sound derogatory - sorry Fish - it really is very funny and a delight to read.
I did laugh first -
- and then I groaned.

Finally making progress with my manuscript, *if* it is accepted by a publishing firm, It will be surrounding mental health, as I feel passionately about expressing the battles we face and providing a voice to those who struggle.
Fingers crossed this ends up going well.
Even if not, I will never give up writing and aiming to become a voice for those in need! ?
Thank you to everyone who reads my work, those who comment with feedback, and those who express fondness in the terms of a "like". Being part of this community has helped me grow, develop confidence in my work, and aspire to get to this point where I am finally trying to finalise an Anthology/Pamphlet on mental health!

A great star who had her share of personal tragedy in life yet left
behind so many film memories and so many vocal treats to
remember her by.

Dogs have their own characters as do we humans. I have two dogs: one is desperate for affection and quite neurotic while the other spends her life searching for food. I can think of humans with the same qualities. What does Ditz mean?

You are correct MC. The desire to impose our views on others seems inbuilt in the human DNA. I am right and I want you to agree with me reigns. Society has, and will continue to suffer while this trait continues.

Lisa,
I am intrigued by this poem as on a first reading I could not help but think of those who had fought in war and lost their lives at an early age. It is almost as if a veil has been drawn over the poem. I like it.
Thanks

When I was young "pet rocks" were all the rage. I remember looking at one, and in my 10 year old mind, I was very confused. It was exactly the same as the ones that all the other kids had. What is at stake....? Pride. Even at that age I think I knew.
Great writing Adam

This sounds like a poem based on personal experience. If so then I can relate to it as similar events occurred during my childhood. Beautifully written and with genuine feeling.

Bah to so-called labour-saving devices. There is a UK TV advert
extolling the "advantage" of an electric whisk over a hand-held one,
neatly avoiding the cost and the likelihood of power breakdown and
inconvenience. And I bet I'm as old as - and probably older than - you, as I can even remember using a fork for the purpose of mixing
stuff.

Miyurangi,
First I thank you for commenting on my poem "This Friday". Your poem "The Wait" although short has a special quality to it. You certainly possess the potential to produce more work. Poetry is the art of the subjective and behind every poet there lies hidden the philosopher. Poems range from being descriptive to those who espouse the voice of dissent. "The Wait¨ has a descriptive quality. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Regards
Keith

Not sure I follow the line of argument about “Remain”, MC.
Equally I am not sure I would be able to persuade a New York cabbie about the Loyalist provenance of his City. Sometimes you have to recognise that the Myth is more alluring than the Truth.

Just down the road is a plaque attached to a wall - marking the address as that of a certain Benedict Arnold - hero to the Brits. of his
day and a traitor in American eyes. The actions that led to the War
of Independence may be said to have been driven and fuelled by
commercial interests, especially traders who took issue with the
always contentious (then and now!) question of taxation. Perhaps
they should have had a referendum - or again, perhaps not! ?
There is a curious analogy in the connection between today's
"Remainers" with their allegiance to foreign allies and those who
took the position of subordinating their allegiance to the Crown to
others (in Europe...where else?)) who they saw as allies to their aims back then. JC - you make the point about the
treatment of Indian inhabitants by the
British...and it was later highlighted by
the faith of those surviving native
Americans who sought refuge in Canada
- under the protection of The Great White
Mother: Queen Victoria - as the Indian Wars of the late 19th century drew to a close in the USA.

Roll up windows, ugh
i remember how nice it was to get push button windows
so you did not have to stretch all the way over to roll up the
passenger side or the rear windows in a rain
i remember all this because i am old
but I have not yet rolled up my mind.

Thanks, Rachel. I’ll follow up that documentary link.
The living proof of the division of loyalty among the Americans is Canada, Loyalist America.
Little known is the fact that the iconised George Washington was a general in the British army and that, far from the popular myth that the insurgents defeated Britain with local know-how and guerilla tactics, the British were assisted by native Indians with local knowledge every bit as comprehensive as the rebels and who saw they got better treatment and deals from the British. Also weaponry made hit and run guerilla warfare less effective; they weren’t accurate.
But who am I to argue with Mel Gibson and the box office?
