Good one. Fine, universal feelings well expressed. Do you really need the 's' to make 'slope' plural?
Comment is about Let My Rock Be Hope (blog)
Original item by Jason Bayliss
That doesn't sound like a 'good-bye' poem. And I sure hope it is not.
You are a splendid WOL contributor and 'friend'.
But, if true, this is a most gracious 'sign off'. And now, with great respect, I must wait and watch.
God bless.
Comment is about Aide de more (blog)
David, I find this absolutely brilliant. But, somehow, it seems 'familiar' in a splendid way. Have you posted this in prior years?
If you have, it's totally worth posting again for new WOLERS! I'm just curious. My intense reaction seemed like a 'deja vu' moment.

Well put, Mika. My words strike at any time, and basically, the world stops, while I 'capture' them. But I'm fortunate to be able to do this.
Mind you, not good if you're cooking! And that has happened.

Very enjoyable, David. I suspect a message for our times in these lines about 'expert' forecasters.

The funny thing, Po, is that they could understand the Scots who spoke in that guttural aggressive bark of Glasgow, completely unintelligible to me, but struggled with my English.
Comment is about UNSKILLED LABOUR (blog)
Original item by John Coopey
I worked on a contract near Glasgow some years ago, Po. The Company had about 200 employees of which around 50 were East European, mostly Polish. When I asked why they didn’t employ local labour instead they told me all the jobs had been locally advertised but there’d been no takers. Several of the Immigrant workers had been promoted onto the management ladder and had forged permanent family life in Scotland.

I always look forward to your comments
because you always have something good to say.
You have somehow got the idea that these offerings
are real poems.
With some remedial therapy,
you should snap out of it
and get back to living
a normal life.
wink.

Thank you both for your warm words.
Everything what I write is authentic, it's a terrible time where we all should remember and look at nature and not sinking into a, forbidden life, distance, hate and panic.
Nature is smarter than we are.

Thought provoking poem Mika. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, my family doesn't show much interest in my poetry, or any poetry for that matter; which is why I'm grateful for online gathering places, like WOL, for those of us that appreciate and gravitate to this type of art.

"You could kill me and I'd apologize to you"... how many abusive and co-dependent relationships that powerful line defines. Love your non-love poem! ❤

Counting sheep in haunted fields... great line. Powerful, raw, real words that resonate with me in this piece. The residue of lost love is the painfully, beautiful poetry it leaves behind. Write on! ❤

A reflection on how we poets use our craft for ourselves, how we choose to share our words or not, and who are the chosen ones to receive them.

I cannot help 'writing'. I certainly don't have to post. But it always seems that someone else might relate, and that is reason enough to 'share', especially a chuckle. I really think that Poetry is Communication.

I really enjoyed this. And as a writer/poet; you are free - you're untethered from time and reality in many ways; you are the memories and the stories you want to tell/recall. That's the magic of writing. Maybe you are a cloud, after all.
