Steve, an excellent tribute to those who make personal sacrifices every day for the entire nation. Poem which also gives a warning shot to those in power both here and elsewhere in the world that a day of reckoning is on its way.
A good poem from the heart
Thank you for this

Amatul, thank you. I have often wrestled with my relationship with God.
Paul, first, can I still call you Po? Secondly, yes. I am finding that is something I am having to be very intentional about.

I understand that a lot of issues today run very deep. And knee-jerk reactions somehow always end up on the internet. But it was actually a (very proud) Englishman who taught me to use kneepads when working in the garden. ?
Still I think it's best if we all move beyond nationalism.

“We don’t know how to write, but damn we try.” What a great line. I’ve listened to this song on repeat all day. Wow, can Luke Evans sing. I daresay it’s a better version than the song’s creator, Lady Gaga. Gets me in the feels too Paul. Thanks for taking a break from your pantheon of passion to stop by and have a good cry! ❤️

No, he does not use a cane
not yet
but will eventually
you bet,
As sure as the sun will rise
then likely set
old man can at that point
just call it quits!

(thanks for reading that poem by O.L. Buzzerd.
I will tell him you liked it.)

Aditya this is a glowing tribute to countless women who rise above lifes trial and tribulations and overcome hurdles to unselfishly seek to better the lifes of their offsprings.
The accolade of angels is an appropriate one for this army of uncomplaining single mothers.
A wonderful poem.

A lament to growing old which so many of us will join with you. Your symptoms are universal but you describe them well. Have you reached the walking stick stage yet.

Some thoughts are best left ambiguous, shrouded in mystery, and your poem does complete justice to that. Contemplative and mystical!

Methinks, love should get better with age unless its root weren't well planted or even now well nourished.

The poem reminds me a lot about the past years of war in Nigeria. The people of Biafra were lockdown with death and hunger.
It is a story my tribe, Ibo, can't turn away from.

“We have crushed the British to the ground, they are on their knees and they will not rise for a very long time.” Aleksandr Yakovenko, summing up Russian achievements during his tenure as UK ambassador, 2011-19. That period includes the Brexit vote, of course. And the project is working, with a Russian oligarch in the House of Lords!

Or maybe - from what I read - in line for a £15,000 prize?? It's not all "beer and sandwiches" nowadays if you write the sort of stuff that
gets the money for whatever reason. ?
