This poem speaks volumes. It is sad in many ways but true of the age we live in.
Thank you for this

A brief poem which I have only this moment read having walked in a nearby field with my dogs. Dandelions, daisies and buttercups abound.
Thank you for this

Don, you are the best, the strength of many. Your little head is like an unstoppable engine. It just needs rest for few minutes. Deep breathe and relax, then shake your legs and butt's. Get up you sleepy head, go and do the rest of your work. Go, go, go....you can and have to do it. It's not the time to sulk and be negative. There is already so much negativity outside. Build up your positive self again and just do it.....all the best.

Not pessimism, dear Keith, never that. Human love is our magical repartee and if we know that, we have something to give. Maybe.

Powerful.
The Virus crisis has brought out some strange ideas and modes of behaviour.
The leaders have not provided much strength or guidance but people have found a strength within themselves.

Such a beautiful poem. So much richness and imagery and it's true, some walk around noticing very little, when there is so much around us to see and admire.
Love this.

An intriguing poem. I was particularly drawn to the lines, " So that I could calm my soul. So that I could mend the holes".
A well constructed poem.

John,
an interesting poem to say the least and written in a manner which is reminiscent of the style found in Paradise Lost. It paints a gloomy but intriguing picture of life, not one that I would share but the poem articulates well the absurdity of life and dare I say drenched in pessimism.
A good poem
Thank you for this
Keith

Fantastic! So glad somebody lifted a 'pen' to it, and so expertly!
'Sarcastic!' as he claimed. It takes very clever people to use sarcasm adroitly; who know when not to use it at all. My husband and I just sat fixated, with our chins in our laps.
