I know how you feel. Is it all pointless? In some ways yes, but it's all we've got so fuck it. Just do it.
Take care,
Jon ?

I've written quite a few pieces lately and I could have posted another half dozen more. I had them ready to be posted but I didn't go through with it because it all felt pointless. I confess myself bored and frustrated...So I guess that's my issue. That right there... Thank you dear Jon ?

Far away places with strange sounding names. It's all become a bit one-upmanship as folk are vying to out-do each other. When they get there they lie around the pool as it's not safe to go outside the complex. Sounds like a hollow victory...still if that's what turns them on.

I like this - both style and content.
On the subject of the ageing process the moral is clear -
If your "get up and go" got up and went,
Relax - and consider the cost well spent.

This is a good poem, Josie. There's a maturity to it which belies your tyro status. Nicely.

This is what it is, and had to be written. Whether it had to be shared is another thing altogether.
Thank you to anyone who actually reads through the whole thing. There have been long poems by other writers too; I'm not the only one. I know I'm taking a huge risk sharing on this site. Times have changed, and long poems are not in style anymore.

Hi 'Fish'
Mariamne was the much loved daughter of the family who died in her 20s - her father had a statue commissioned in the church but a subsequent fire damaged it badly. She was a keen botanist and there is a garden in the Hafod Uchtryd estate which used to be called Mariamne's Garden, but the web site now has it as Mrs Johnnes' Garden. Hafod means 'summer place'. Thanks for your comment.

I'm geared up to type me a poem
When you come along say go rest bones
Sittin' and thinkin' is better ?
This won't produce my poetry tome
What else do you advise for an oldie?
Let's see, I go limp?, deteriorate?
My energy's spent, my ambition's all went
I'll lie on my couch, wait my fate
(With glass of wine and winter woolie sox....) ?
Seriously, I thought your last two lines were good. Forgive my plaigarism.

Makes more sense doesn't it Brian? Especially if you were in London in the 60s. Even in Portobello sprouts beat lemons hands down. But I don't know if it's possible to make a mistake in a poem. 'Appen tis, 'appen t'aint. Anyroadup, thanks for noticing. J

It's almost a question asked of the mirror.
If someone performed it on a stage I'd have them with their back to the audience but talking to themself in a full length mirror.
So the audience watched them talk to themself while their mirror image talked to the audience in the dark.

What is s stew
but just some mush
throw in the towel
and other stuff
quite frankly It's
a sloppy bust
I'll stick to steak
in steak I trust!

That just about sums it up, Don,
you've said in rhyme what I'm thinking;
the world's fucked, for what's not sinking
is burning, and will soon be gone
to hell in a tumbril, or worse.
If you have kids, apologise -
tell them what we did wasn't wise,
or generous, tell them the curse
of their short lives was our damned fault.
Tell them 'sorry' isn't enough,
that their survival will be tough,
that it's too late all this to halt.

Read this poem in the book called QUILT by Cindy Lee Loucks.
A very raw, honest book that follows her first book called SICK.
Would strongly recommend both books.
A true crime must for reading buffs!!!!

thanks, all, for your responses.
The song included with the post is a good part of what inspired it. As for the better part of it, I still can't speak the words--it has little to nothing to do with physics...
To someone who has a knack for making me laugh but who'll probably never read this, you never seemed to fail at putting the over-adulated in their place, "..it's not rocket science, Einstein"--another one of those things I wish I would've said ;
A good coming week to all,
Rachel

Thankyou to all you commenters and likers. There's always the battle between writing for myself on the one hand and wanting accolades from others. I have to convince myself if others like it fine, if not, still fine. Not easy. The need for praise is inborn.
Jason. I think exactly like you. Write for yourself. It's inborn. It keeps poets going.

An impressive take on the motivation of the poetic leaps of faith that seem to exclude romanticism - scouring the streets and the urban legends that reveal the underbelly of our times. Very powerful and clever poem Trevor I must say.
The gritty rhyming style punches away and has some wonderful twists and turns ending in a climactic last verse.
I hope you are proud of this - I would be.
