Thankyou, Greg and MC. I honestly think he is sorry - sorry he’s been caught. Why else apologise 18 months on and not in May 2020? What makes him more sorry now than then ?

Fascinating, Adam. I love your use of analogy and the way you leave gaps for the reader's imagination to fill in.
Your new name is Ed, by the way 😊

A poem to disagree with. Poetry has historically been the voice of dissent. Is not the activist a poet in action?
Thank you for this

He apologised in the Commons - but who heard him actually say that simple word "sorry"? 😐

Nice work, John. Trouble is, he's not sorry. Not even now. It was all an act in the Commons.

A classic of its kind, John, just like its subject (i.e. spoiled, over-indulged public schoolboy).

There were always a few to be found every morning in Selby Abbey's North Porch. Good to see love and goodwill being extended in the spirit of Christian communion.

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

Holden, this poem really caught my attention as your use of the language cleverly describes a message which is to be pondered on. "sanity seems but a stowaway on a ship, when ignorance could have been bliss", puts so much of life into perspective. A poem which needs to read several times for its import to be fully grasped.
Thank you for this
Keith

Enough to put me off my breakfast, John, or anything else. My complaint about the Brexit boy's hand dryers are the amount of noise the bloody things make (as you say, "motorised roar').

Thanks for these comments, John B and KJ. I have never been in a true position of power, although I have had some responsibility in work. Responsibility without power may suggest that other people are taking advantage of you, but I always found it quite pleasant. Revenge? Well, does it really make you feel good? (If the answer is yes, so much the better!)
And thanks for the likes John C, Julie, Stephen A, Holden, Pete, Jimakos and Leon.

Fabulous poetry, Stephen, with beautifully expressed imagery. Awesome. The poem revealed
what had changed since my own childhood, namely the background noise. You have shown this change so skilfully and with such insight. Great stuff!

An enjoyable journey down "Nostalgia Lane" with some nice
imagery along the way. I was a "war baby" - born just as "D-Day" was being rehearsed. How well I recall the later post-war country picnics en famille, with those various sandwich fillings
and slices of cake, washed down from a thermos flask. Certainly,
the cars have become a very visible mark of progress since then,
but in fairness, there are still places to find and enjoy for so many
more folk nowadays so I'll keep enjoying my own car and the
opportunities it gives me to extend my life's convenience and occasional travel and the freedom of today's not so open road(s). Toot-toot!!

A very timely winter reminder of the creatures that share and
bring joy to our existence. How easy to give (provide) some
essential support to the daily lives of these fellow inhabitants
and be rewarded by their presence. As ye give, so shall ye receive. And what better exchange that that between ourselves
and the natural world? Mutual reward in the very best sense..👍

This poem seems to be a number of poems rolled into one as each stanza can stand alone. I was particularly drawn to the fourth stanza.Some good imaginative writing here.

and thanks be Mr C. that not a lot of people would be inclined to do ANYTHING the way you do ( ie. spying on Gert's nether regions trimming session through the peephole )
Don't forget let me know when the hole has been enlarged-the one in the wall, not the slot! tee-hee

The words of this poem speak of a profound faith which comes from experience found only by trusting implicitly in God. The opening words of each stanza indicate a faith placed in the Divine which is above any faith in others or in the world about us. Not many achieve this degree of faith but it is sublime indeed.
Beautiful words for many to ponder on.
Thank you for this
Keith

I've had a few kickings over the years, especially more recently. So now in my sixties when I should be thinking of retirement I'm back at the bottom of that greasy pole.
The only thing that I can think of, it getting to the top of it and revenge.

Fascinating poem, Stephen. I love the way it exposes our desire for conformity, coexisting with our enjoyment of the extraordinary.
Achieved with great skill, as ever.
As the nail that stood up, he was banged down.
Brilliant line.
Loved the poem.
