Thanks Anya.
A rhyme to have a rhythm
It's got to have a plan
The beat has got to be right
We say it's got to scan ?

Now I thought us Aussies could outwit you Brits so why am I struggling here? Just trying to get my head around this stormy breast in a D cup. The mind boggles. Brian is besotted with Gina of the luscious lovelies.
Oops. I'm meant to be commenting on your poem. Not Brian's obsession with Gina.
I thought this was a good effort John. Always keep abreast of your work ?

Is the address significant?
30 East Drive in Pontefract is reputed to be a ghost house, so methinks Damon is kidding us.

I know how hard moving can get, especially to a whole different location.
Moved on my own to a different continent and the only thing I can say is this just gives me the goosebumps.

Remembering that Marilyn Monroe married Arthur Miller,
I read on.
The love for the unattainable has always been a theme to
appeal to our imaginations and this is done with panache -
with that fizzing note of "revenge" to finish on a triumphant final line riposte for what can't be had.

The analogy of trees with the strength of human support
is well chosen. For trees - those life-givers in their own
right - possess the various traits hoped for in our fellows: standing tall, bending with the wind of circumstance,
offering a refuge, comforting company in times of need and never judgemental.

You always post relevant poems. This resonates with me. When I went back to work after raising my children I received an email. When I looked at the sender I was shocked to find it was the girl who was sat right by my side. She was only asking me a simple question...?

This piece is like an hourglass. So much time/sand held within its fragile frame, and easily enjoyable. Nice one Taylor, you sure know how to put to page any length of poem and still have it come out sounding epic.?

Hi Becky,
Yes I wondered this myself and did some research. It seems by looking at the sort of behaviour exhibited by people gone by eg excited mania/depression it points to them having the symptoms of bipolar. I haven't researched Vincent van Gogh but they say he led a troubled life. Frank Sinatra also apparently had a very violent temper.
From personal experience we can be damn hard to live with. It affected me and my family. But that's another story for another poem ?

Hi Becky - there is a lot of truth in what you say. People are attracted to other people by their intellect, the words they say, the way they react etc. It's not all about looks... and you all know me , I can't be serious for very long...my wife has neither looks nor intellect...but you should see the size of her....
....bank balance!

Hi Don, this is very informative and thought-provoking. I simply never knew that most of those people were bipolar. (How do they know for Mozart?)

Brian - you are correct. You don't have to be bipolar to be creative or brilliant But it helps. A link has been established between bipolar and creativity. A bipolar brain thinks different to an ordinary brain.
My point was to both raise awareness of this little understood illness, and indicate many famous people with this illness who made great contributions to society?

For some strange reason I don't suffer depression. Mania is my demon. The secret is to keep it under control. medications do that. I need my 'controlled mania'. I wouldn't want it any other way. It powers my writing and adds excitement to my life. Would I want to press a button to get rid of it ? Never. Just have to make sure it doesn't get away from me ?

Excellent Don! You have spoken eloquently, creatively and continue to carry on with rhyming ever-so smoothly. An informative piece, perhaps helping some to understand that they are, by no means, alone in their battle.?❤
BRAVO!

Hi Don - got to be careful with sweeping statements...I'm sure not all bipolars are creative, and there are many non-bipolars who are equally as creative.
Good to raise awareness but probably needs to be drip fed.

I agree with the others. Pure emotion shows in this and it makes it very touching. I think a lot of people could find themselves in it.
