To achieve it
One must belive it and speak as if its already their's for the taking..
The sadness in your poem made me want to express to you that everyday we breath is a blessing. You will conquer anything you wish, once you believe you can ?

Thanks Lisa, I don't know what to say. I said you have a beautiful, honest way of expressing yourself, and you do, and it's left me quite humbled. Thank you.

I had to add you to my favorites..
The way you express yourself using the simplest of words holds more meaning than most other poem's I read.
I adore your work and appreciate your talent immensely.
Great piece jay ?
Another one for the kids to learn from ??
Well done

This is fantastic poetry , the insight to the memories you hold so dear to your heart and the pain and broken soul of your father has brought tears to my eye's. pain is not often beautifully written. You however have made this piece into a short movie which I admire.
Well done ???

Thank you jay ?

I do tend to only write about things that really happened, im not so much a fictional writer but more so, a writer about the past and present and sometimes future ?
Your comments are always appreciated ?

Thanks to everyone who's so far liked or commented on this Poem.
It came to me more or less as it is while walking through the Churchyard

I think inspiration for it came from my Dad's current state of health, the time of year also plays a factor, being the period that my Mum died, between Christmas and New Year and the contrast between now and then.

Thanks again everyone.. Much appreciated

You have spoke often about your dad and your relationship with him so I have some insight.
Maybe I see this differently but for me this isn't reflective of happy days.
Your a markedly different man to your father just as I am to mine.
Wigan might as well of been the moon for you "you couldn't of been more out of place"
Memories of youth aren't all golden and getting old gives us one overwhelming thing of value.... Clarity

As ever we'll done.... R

Kevin,

You are a master when it comes to this genre of poetry. I cannot think of anyone who could surpass you. This is another excellent rendition of your work which is so full of humour, inventiveness and imagery. You seem to have an almost endless supply. Keep them coming.
Thank you for this
Keith

Extremely chilling , I believe no man nor woman should take justice into their own hands. One day all evil will burn in hell for eternal life ' a punishment worth waiting for.. An eye for an eye will only ever leave the other soul waiting in line with the monster he Punished for the reasons he felt wore justified..

Beautiful sentiment and wise words Lisa.

In the over all scheme of things, rhyme, don't rhyme, don't fret over spellings don't concentrate on one style or another unless you want to, because it all just interferes with the flow and like you said, "It's not a competition."

The thing I love about your work is it has genuine heart. Beautiful, honest, heart. That's a rare thing and something to be cherished.?

Thank you Po

That really means a lot to me. This poem I wrote briefly touches on my attempted suicide many moons ago so this poem is very dear to my heart.
It's still only a working progress. I'm sure I could do better with it.
But thanks again for your kind words. It's so inspirational to hear you say that.
Much love and light to you always.

Hi Keith
What a fabulous character Sugar is, or was. It says a lot that he had a "serious expression on his face"
There has to be a Sugar in all of us I reckon.

I absolutely love this.
I am blessed and extremely lucky and privileged to say I have a bestfriend from day 16 into my life as im that many days older than her.(haha)
but threw thick and tin she stood by me and I her.
Their wore many ' I mean MANY times I acted in such a way that appalled her and made her cringe but she never ever treated me any differently and never ever let me down. And most certainly never allowed another to speak ill of me while not in my presence. She was always good, where as I got lost over the year's. the times I let myself down and her she was their 100% no questions asked...
I agree with you fully jay, to even call yourself a friend , you must act like one no matter what!!!!!
Its a title not all deserve.
This is well written with much meaning and wisdom. Well done ?

Bloody hell Phil. I've been a muso for years and have seen some action but this takes the biscuit. I took out a topless barmaid once who asked me to top someone in a club. Not me, I said. She thought I was permanently high, but it was just my head in the clouds. (She was beautiful but a duff fuck by the way. I didn't know she was a prossy). (But I digress). I knew a sax player who was called Mad John, but it was because he was so mild).

Hi Tommy. A strong and simple poem with that nice herbal twist that edges it in humour. A good effect to leave a blank when we know the word and then follow it with a phonetically similar one.

Fight it comrade. Fight it with all this formidable might you have inside you. Fight it with your words and with your actions too. And you know another thing that never ceases to amaze me daily; something that works as a pool full of brightness, wisdom, compassion and endurance that you can tap in when you're all out! Humanity, John. People. I'm not saying, let go and rely upon others. Absolutely not! Just watch them, observe them. Let them mesmerize and inspire you. That's what I'm saying. Just tap in.
Thank you?
Mae
