Thank you Paul and Ray. The tourist trail holds no interest for me. I think, Ray, a poet has to be 'clear' about her unknown unknowns, and be prepared to take any route in order to make even the smallest sliver of the unknown a presence in her poetry. You are not lacking in perspicacity nor prescience.
“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”
― James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Excellent writing Emilia and Po makes a brilliant point too. So sad and still nothing being learned or done by those that could make a difference.

Thank you, Po. I appreciate your kind words. Funny enough, I did just update the poem slightly (I wasn't happy with the prior version), but that sentiment still lingers.

A beautiful and uplifting curse against those who would dominate and suppress, and your track proves the point in its exuberance and feeling. I like the way your poetry never sits on the fence or becomes precious, if we persevere to look for the heart of it.
All I can say is to beware of the tourist trail and its desecrations.

Hi Randy; some twist of fate has me trawling WOL in a desperate attempt to find poems of merit. My instincts are correct, and your piece is a master stroke and has a long coherent measure that draws a perfect picture of what we've all experienced . I'm so glad I've seen what I suspected in writing, going some way to ease a troubled mind like mine, and with just the right injection of humour.

I read a very exhaustive book on the Indian territories and the incursions and skirmishes under General Sherman. I think this is a brilliant piece, right in the groove as it turns the tables and levels life in a master stroke of irony.

I loved the way you've captured an unyielding environment so well, with the bonus of brittle humour John. The last stanza almost warms it all up, the dry wheezing sound so redolent of folk music in different countries.

Well it did make me laugh. Not gloomy at all this, I want my money back! Happy National Toilet Day Don, you did mention that you're a toilet poet on the side.
To toil
Or to let
It out?
That is the question oft posed to a sh*tspearean toilet poet innit??

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.
