Laura,
One time - in Greece - a dog chased me off the town
beach and shat on my poems.
Was it weak bowels, or an angry pro-Homeric classic piece of canine criticism? (These things are mysterious)
(That `shittens` is crying out for a rhyming kittens)
This one is a nice antidote for all that pseudo - sentimental treatment that the T.V. is giving to all those monkey and vets programs lately.

Topical and bang on, Andy. With the shivering promise of more.
Would you consider changing 'about' to 'on', in that second line?

A lovely poem, it holds that totally calm and at one with the universe whilst being totally insignificant feeling I get when I gaze up at the night sky without actually saying anything about that, if you know what I mean.

I regard poetry as a form of entertainment. It should move the audience either with humour, or sadness or make them think, or react in some way. I am not a "performance poet" but I do like performing. A lot of poets don't know how to perform, or engage an audience. They should stay at home and practice in front of a mirror or with friends.I am bored with people who stand up and read into a piece of paper!
Those clubs that don't like applause in between poems I just don't attend.

Although Disappointment was meant as a stand alone poem, it could also have been seen as a follow up to Uncertainty.
That being the case, this poem is the finale.
Just a bit of fun, as they say.

Thank you Cynthia.
I am gratified it works as a stand alone poem, which is what I intended, although it would also serve as a follow up to Uncertainty.
I think the above is probably the most likely outcome, but there is another to follow, which changes things rather.
Thank you for your kind comments.

I don't get this, Graham. Pubs are places for men to get together to talk man stuff. Sheds are caves for whittling wood in on your own.

London has long been the home of dreams - and the place
of nightmares for the unprepared.
I like these lines. They have a ring of recognition for me
from my many miles of peramulation during a career that
took me on to its streets...both beside and beyond the Thames 24/7 over three decades...East End and West End.

Thanks Lynn and Lea for your appreciation . Lucky for me a curved blade has a rather sinister feel to it (in the wrong hands).
Wolfie: Thanks for investing this with your imaginative perception. I feel I needed to let it breathe and invite the mind in. Space is obviously a great medium for any appreciation of contemplation .
Cheers all.

Dear Harry O'Neill
You hit right on the nail.
Such feedback helps aspiring poets down the road.
I noticed there are women poets that write on this sensitive issue not yet brought to the limelight.That is why I wrote a poem on it.
For example see the poem bellow by a girl with a pen name sucidal-sunrise
Leave me Alone
The voices
They won't leave me alone,
I scream
Yet,
They won't leave me alone.
They talk inside my head,
They talk about how my virginity was stolen on my bed.
I cry myself to sleep.
Leave me alone.

Some sharp whimsical thinking is always a great contribution to any 'gathering of the minds' - in any context. And you've covered so many arenas - Literature, Film, Painting, Music, War.
In answer to your question, I wasn't totally familiar with all the songs, so missed your best shot. Too bad.

Hi Lynn,
Thank you for your comments. The Evil Tree is the latest one that I've done. I'm starting to get more of an idea of what I want to write, but still figuring out this whole poetry thing.
I'll look out for your new poem.
