Unfortunately I'm lacking
a lucky charm
Also I'm lacking
a snoring alarm

With thunderous snoring
I'm fearful of harm
Unfortunately I'm lacking
a port in a storm.

Thank you for commenting on Marbles Don - appreciated. There's another poem about marbles somewhere in the making - the names of different types such as glarnies, if I remember correctly. They were the best kind and I hated losing those. Costly too then. P.

My mind went down
a one way street
I was hit head on
by an idea
but now I am being ticketed
for operating a poem
without poetic license.

Hi Dev and Don
I do appreciate your posts.
I may have left the back-door open in this poem.
The shape of some light, on a surface through window glass, can be fancifully described as such.
And Dev pardon my use of "To clarify" that upon retrospect came across as a rebuff - far from it. It was a genuine request to enquire.

The legs and her legs.

Cheers lads.
Tommy

Don,
Thanks for the compliment on my rant
Sometimes I rhyme, sometimes I can't
For the times in which I do
Are inspired by ones like you


Have a good day, Don!

Having read mine, you know how delighted I'd be with yours!

I am so new, dare I make a suggestion? Well...You use "progress" as a noun in the second line. That requires stress on the first syllable. If you wrote the line with "progress" as a verb, you'd move the emphasis to the second syllable. Something like this: "Trying to progress,"

If I'm being gauche, I'll grovel.

Hi Don, it's a strange one - there's no telling which creations will resonate with people and which ones might not; it's so unpredictable but like you say, irrelevant really.

The act, the release and the creation are the key. Writing is such a rewarding creative endeavour and reading other's creations - with all their eccentricities ? - constantly surprises and engages. I really enjoy your style and voice and always keep an eye out for your work. T.

re 'A freedom to express'

The ability is not the right; without neither the voice nor the ability to write, the righteous are diminished. I think we are broadly in agreement. Tommy

I am basically a "nice" person.
but I am often misunderstood,
Like most poets I am not recognized
in my own time.
Only death will give me fame.
However I decided against it.
Once it occurs,
You can't come back from it.

Thanks, Don, for commenting on my hacked haiku! I dig your work, man (including your haiku). Also, I found your Bio very relate-able (I have similar "extra help"). Looking forward to seeing more from you. Take it easy ---- J. Zane

Thanks for your comment on "Lasting Love".
We all search for it.
Some are lucky enough to find it.
I'm one of them and i consider myself blessed
to have found her.
I hope you find your lasting love someday.
