whereas cops HERE never walk
they cruise in comfort
in their expensive squad cars
ever on the lookout for criminals
and the next donut shop!

I guess cops in England
do not eat donuts
Here....It's part of their basic training!

A Leaf Blower
as a Phallic symbol
is something I never thought about.
I have a whole new perspective now on
Leaf Blowers.
What thrust!
😃

Comment is about Stephen Gospage (poet profile)

Original item by Stephen Gospage

Here it is - a slightly different take, but....

Leaf Blower

A middle-aged man nearby
Is clearing up some leaves.
He swings the blower round;
Enjoys its phallic whirl.
It reminds him of the time
When he could get the girl.

Stephen- if you still have that poem about Leaf Blowers
send it to me.

BAN THE BOMB
BAN LEAF BLOWERS!

That's what I thought.
Too much immigration changes the fabric of the country.
Like here in the U.S.
But...we do not have a leader with Wild Hair!
Our only saving grace!

BAN THE BOMB
BAN LEAF BLOWERS!

Man in the moon

seems no honesty applies,
all these myths entwine our lives
turns out they are
all lies.

Ghazala,

Thank you for your personal comment. I have noticed for some time that you are a person of Faith which I also share with you. I am a Christian and through life's experience and more importantly prayer, I have the blessing of a personal relationship with the Divine. It is this which influences my life and gives me hope and understanding. Your poetry often mirrors my own thoughts. Thank you again,
Keith

thanks for explaining what a Pit Yakker is.

Comment is about Stephen W Atkinson (poet profile)

Original item by Stephen W Atkinson

Pit Yakker! ( Or Yacker, Yakka). A person from a coal mining village, mainly associated with the North East of England. Originally a derogatory term, but we now embrace it as our own! Proud to be a Pit Yakker! (I'm not a Geordie) 😁 I'm sure that's cleared it up for ye D.K...😂

I had to look up "piffle"
meaning piddling or a trifle
but I like the word
and will attempt to use it
I will try it out on my wife
I'll let you know how that turns out!

IF you wish to post a comment
you must first dig a hole
then plant the Post and fill in with cement.
After it dries, the Post will be there for a good 30 years.

Having submitted the poem you can still alter it by using the same method or so I think. I have never experienced any problem with altering a draft or the end product.
Happy New Year

no, i am not talking about while I am writing the poem.
I know how to do that.
I am talking about AFTER you have already submitted the poem.
How do you get back to it?
I can never find it.

Thanks Greg for you kind words. I was a bit worried about the poem because it is, I suppose, a 'warts and all' description. However, Martin was a lovely man. He was happy jogging along the way he was and although he didn't look after himself he never did a bad thing to anyone else. It's been a bloody awful two years for everyone and the loss of my mother at the start of lockdown and now my brother certainly isn't making it any better. I hope you and yours had some kind of Christmas.
