Thanks, Ray. Sometimes people need to bask in the little things and not fret over the big ones.

Little things like scents of lavender and smiles in the cold.?

Hi John. I wanted to say that I appreciate your comment about rhetoric on my poem Letter from the Streets. I felt that there was probably enough flak to basically undermine any merit the poem had, based purely on an idea and not supposed to be a treatise on the subject. This is why I have contacted you directly. I think rhetoric should add views certainly, but I'd had enough in this case. I hope you will understand!

Hi Don
I appreciate the time taken to leave a comment on Brexit TV.
I'm useless at critiquing, and write (as I think you may) pretty much to entertain myself.
I doubt I'll ever be a 'poet', but enjoy the occasional recital.
The major benefit from writing and reciting poems is that I met my wife through WOL

I think it is more fo a concern to folk of a certain attitude - and maybe "vintage" - this restraint about giving offence.
There are some who do it intentionally for a purpose - and
sometimes gratuitously for show. But it's worth it IF the
expressed words have a genuine purpose and feeling as their source. I tend to raise my eyes heavenwards and
sigh at the readiness of many "agendas" to take offence
at every opportunity but the pleasure and power of poetry
of whatever stripe is that it is generally accepted as the
time-honoured forum for such material. Long may it be so.
Merry Christmas to you. Keep posting!

P.S. Love the picture on your page - brings back memories of family images from those black and white
more innocent days of yore.

Definition - Confused
Many thanks for comment. I wasn't sure when I posted, if certain parts may cause offence, but the feelings contained in the poem are gathered from conversations I've had with real people (family) and the frustrations they feel at life moving on at such speed.

good for you for picking up litter.
i do the same, almost daily.
i carry my bags and collect trash as i walk,
and people think i'm crazy, but...
it's good exercise and good for the environment.
