A definite dash of Ogden Nash!
Yeah - get out more. Just as long as it's not too close to me! ?

Provocative positioning destined to obtain a response.. That said....
Poetry can be - without being flip,
A platform for an ego trip.

Comment is about A MAN LIKE ME (blog)

Original item by ray pool

But -
Cows are in a right old muddle
Gathered together in a huddle;
Soft eyes pained and gently pleading
For relief from milkies'' finger-kneading
While sheep and sheep dogs
Are clearly confused,
Over-looked and under-used;
No human hand to offer order
To woolly wanderers and collies (border) ?.

How tragic Jennifer - some situations are inexplicably difficult to handle. Blessings to the responders having to deal with it - some memories never go away. Blessings. P

The tension builds in this poem in such a way that you know something is going to happen. Something, unexpected, yet suspected.
Tragic, sadly these things do happen.
A memorable one.

Thanks also to Itsjustmedownhere and Alive_sunflower for the likes. I almost didn't share this poem for reasons I am sure you can work out for yourself.

Lovely poem, the title really does bring back the scent of mown grass and the click of the ball on the bat. Must confess used to go to cricket matches to please a boyfriend, and also for the teas!

Liked this. Jennifer

Speaks volumes Ian. Very moving I must say. The layout looks right and highlights the disconnection . The whole experience such a minefield and has to be borne with stoicism and care.

Simon, interesting juxta positioning of events - enjoyed. I think many old ruins hereabouts may thank WOL for a sense of escapism during this prolonged period of self isolation and lockdown. ?

Lovely piece?


You are unique, carefully constructed
You are a wonder,many dare to explore
You are a dreamer, a visionary
Most of all you are the authentic you, so live your best

Tear-ups are interesting Jordyn
With you it is hard, not with me
It must be to do with emotion states
Each person tears differently....

You are a free soul on a journey safe
Holding your God's hand in perfect way

You are a free bird, flying your way
Into the sky of happiness and hope everyday

You are truth, honesty, you are a perfect blend of purity

You have the answers true, stop looking for clue
Who are you, a pure soul free from worldly attractions

Yes Tom, I usually don't like long poems but this well-crafted one held me to the end. It was so good. The repeating 'hung by a thread and leaving soon' was also used to good effect......

Was Renee someone you know or a made-up name?

I am proud of you John. You have learned to make a 3-liner and rhyme 'such' with 'much' in all your weeks of lockdown.

Don't worry Ray, your mental
Chain is still on, firm
There might be little surface rust
But least it still can turn

Your mental chain has done you proud
These verses? perfect rhyme
Await with interest, this and that
On screen, in rhyme, in time


Can I suggest looking at one of the sprockets? ...capital O for Out. Don't fret about it's inability to cursive 'Write'

Just keep it well oiled and you'll be fine.....

Hi Sophie,

Many thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on my work. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed, 'yellow, green iris.' I wanted that poem to inspire hope and remind others that we all have the power to heal from trauma and the fire inside us to continue to fight.

I enjoyed reading your poems. 'In the shower' is very beautiful.. I am a sucker for romantic poetry. ❤️??

Keep writing.
Emer

Indeed M. C. Just because we like somebody, it doesn't mean that the feeling will be mutual.

A life lesson that some unfortunately will never handle or comprehend.

Tragic.
No scream should go unanswered.
Reminds me of something I heard about New York.
Someone cried out for help and everyone assumed someone else would respond and no one did.
Good writing Don.
