Beautifully understated and meandering listlessly along taking our thoughts for the ride Tom. We are privileged to be privy to what youre wanting to impart and it almost strays into fantasy. A poetic journey with a strong image towards the end.

Hahaha!!! I'm happy you got this one on time before new one was posted, and last one gone.

My sleep went moon walking
Making me twist and turn
The night was extremely long
As my sleep went walking for too long
I hope tonight it shall return
And be right in mind where exactly it's suppose to be
I know want Donny means
By saying this poem sounds like his
I feel honoured to join you dear
Now book a bed in ur rehab
Cos i think i too have a double gear
Hahaha!!!!! ?

hi Graham

They're mostly split because, tho similarly themed, they came from two seperate trains of thought.

So I guess they're split for fun.

Thank you for reading : )

It seems unlikely that history records anything remotely similar
anywhere to this extraordinary set of coincidences. For once, the
word "uncanny" seems inadequate.

Criticism for his interview Prince Andrew has met,
It was almost impossible for him to sweat.
Pizza Express in Woking has achieved Royal fame,
Used as an alibi to protect his good name.

An adviser had told him to remain in the shade,
To partake in the interview an error he has made.
Plaudits to rescue his reputation he did not receive,
In the interview he came over as being naive.

To persecute him too much is really mean,
The son of our Royal highness the Queen.
We all have family members who make a mistake,
The Royals are human like us, with much more at stake.

Hi Do.RoThy

Not a comment on the poem itself which seems to be a kind of psychological allegory (?) but I'd suggest you look over this again as there's a typo in line five and in line ten.

I never really understood why some poets begin every new line with a capital letter (but some good ones still do). You've chosen this style and yet consistently written your I's everywhere else in lower case. Can't fathom the thinking behind this.

There are a few little words and repetitions that could be edited out but I do like 'turmoiled balancing'. Poems get better with multiple re-workings and the time to marinate a bit.
