While I was exercising on my bike
I took a crashing fall
No I barely take a hike
Of any distance at all.
Content to move around in spurts
Knowing to stop whenever it hurts!

Thank you to all who liked and commented on this poem. The setting for this poem is a five minute walk from where I live.
Thank you all again,

A fabulously macabre poem, Keith. Very powerful and evocative. Stunning!
It reminds me of the first poem of yours I read, which was a war poem, too, and had a similar sense of movement. Epic.

A fascinating exploration of the universe and our place within it. You have your own style, Matilda, and it is a style I really like đ

A very sublime poem this, Matilda. I liked the theatre and movie effect that you've brought in this (creation, script, play, director and actors). Loved the end message that our life is itself a movie being played. And let's all make our movie worth watching and replaying!
Thank you.

All revelations have started from minds of people who wondered! !!
Relying on what we see without questioning is like religion forced upon people. Finding answers by ourself brings forth new paths to discover.
Thank you for wondering!

My thanks to John, Manish and Kevin. It is dangerous to say that you have taken a town in war. The situation is so unstable that the enemy might take it back while you are celebrating.

Thanks so much for your praise, Manish. Always appreciated! (and deserved!)
Thanks Kevin. My tongue is often in my cheek, it's true!
Thanks, Helene, the queries are genuine. There's a lot I don't know!
Thanks, Stephen. Love the Fawlty Towers reference. "Let me explain this to you..."

I love the way you use rhyme without it ever seeming forced, John.
What did Basil Fawlty say? 'You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky'.
Which is ok if we know where the sky starts....

Thank you Manish. This poem is a fragment from a very much longer story in verse Iâve been writing for a few years, but I hope it makes a bit of sense on its own.

Wow, just wow. You are a brilliant poet, John B. I loved this one, questions of a free thinker, nature's answers and consolation, experiences and insights of a man on "lives of old men". I'm turning into a fanboy, my friend!!
Thank you for this.

Thankyou, Uilleam; although âhilariousâ is a bit strong. Rather, like the BBC I consider my mission is to educate and entertain.

Thanks Rick-I'm familiar with the locations you mention.
The scuttler gangs are still with us however, in a different form,
I frequently see gangs of youths openly selling drugs in broad daylight; whilst stabbings and beatings are topics of everyday conversation amongst some of my younger friends.
As far as pollution of the environment, and safety in the workplace are concerned, the UK is fast regressing to a situation in which profit is once more king, and "devil take the hindmost" the rule of thumb.

I almost bathed in this poem as it drenched me from head to foot. The language is rich and rare. I was surprised at the extent of the vocabulary used. The word aspergillum and eucharistic, integral to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and intensity of every line was breath taking. What more can I say without being too verbose and over complimentary. A truly great piece of writing for which I thank you.

Well described Stephen, and thanks for highlighting a very important subject.
I think your line: "And then I'll write a best selling book", sums up much of what's happenning today.
Call me cynical but...the philosophy of "follow the money" is increasingly responsible for the pathologisation of commonplace and perfectly "normal" aspects of human psychology and of biology.

It's hard to disagree with your opinion on writing. I used to be interested in writing essays and poetry, but later I faced the problem of writing research papers at the university. It was very difficult, but with the help of the service https://buyextendedessay.com I managed to successfully complete my diploma. I recommend it to everyone who had the same problems as me.

Thank you Uilleam, Kate, John, Stephen and you Keith. Ben Jonson, over 500 years ago, wrote of the calamity that is, and was, infant death, even in an age when so many more children and infants died.
On my First Son
BY BEN JONSON
Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy;
My sin was too much hope of thee, lov'd boy.
Seven years tho' wert lent to me, and I thee pay,
Exacted by thy fate, on the just day.
O, could I lose all father now! For why
Will man lament the state he should envy?
To have so soon 'scap'd world's and flesh's rage,
And if no other misery, yet age?
Rest in soft peace, and, ask'd, say, "Here doth lie
Ben Jonson his best piece of poetry."
For whose sake henceforth all his vows be such,
As what he loves may never like too much.
