Jennifer,

Thank you for your comment. I enjoy trying different styles of poetry which could be described as impressionist or surrealist. There are a few members on the site who are very accomplished in this realm. Perhaps a joint might fire the imagination but I shall stick with tea and biscuits.

Much appreciated,

Keith

Another fascinating, thought-provoking and, above all, superbly crafted article, John. Highly readable too (i.e. I only had to look up two words this time). Thank you.

Really beautiful and moving. Lucky to have the 'eternal bond of mother and father' in this day and age, although it can never be completely denied.

add -

Along with Neruda we have two poets who were mudered either for their sexuality or politics. Both men were giants in the literary world and champions in the cause for freedom. This poem is a fitting tribute to one of them.
Thank you for this

Don and Jon,

You are both right. As poets we fight against apathy. As long as we cruise along with ineffective governments and make do decisions the likes of the man in the box will remain there. The inertia and infantile behaviour of present day politics lies at the door of the electorate. I am heartily sick of complaining and then see that fellow complainers do nothing but retire to their comfort zones. Is a two party state really representative of true democracy?

Thank you for your interest.
Keith

As poets we can only 'poeticize' on what concern us. We are just voices in the wilderness. Change can only take place with a mass movement and strong leader. Without this the world's priorities will remain screwed up as Jon says. You may think otherwise.

As Kate says the juxtaxposition is powerfully used Keith

Dorothy and Jason don't ya worry
I'm screwed up as hell (MC knows)
My gramma and spelling's atroshus
While Mae's thinking golly what goes?

Lisa is trying to get used to
Me returning from my holidays
So Dorothy and Jason don't you worry
I'll join you miss-spelling each day ?

Common sense seems foreign.
To many folk today
They jump in feet first, what the heck
What the heck they say

I'm gonna have a good time
Just couldn't care a less
You say I'm suicidal?
My life is in a mess?

Well stuff it gonna 'joy myself
No matter what you say
Hello? Who's that that's fallen dead?
What more, what can I say ?

Very enjoyable poem.
What immediately strikes me is how financially better off we would be without women.
No joint accounts
Microwave meals
One car
One wardrobe
Clothing only replaced every few years
Holiday for one (no cocktails)
Action movies only (no soaps)
No implants, facelifts, beauty salons
No flowers
No Valentines Day presents
No birthday or christmas presents, etc, etc, etc
THE TOILET SEAT CAN STAY WHERE I WANT IT
