Keith, thank you so much for the kind words! ? The South has its ways, doesn't it?! You could spend an entire lifetime there just cause you wake up one day and it's so heartwarming lu sunny and by the end of your life it feels like it was all just one smoothe pleasant day...at least in poetry! Other than that, many problems! But there are some days that just make you feel like you in heaven. It's a wormhole, it sucks you up! Especially the providence in certain places!!!
It sounds as if you are one very lucky gentleman! I'm happy for you!?
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Mae

Thanks again!?

My friend, you have a way with words that I love, "Best foot forward just to have it broken," dark, but accurate and inciteful.

I have been there as well, very very dark places, though long ago.

I wrote a poem for my son's, it probably sums up my advice (if you want it), better than I could say here. It's called, "Don't try to be happy."

I wouldn't normally mention my own stuff when reviewing others, seems a bit arrogant but I mention this as a father who cares.
Please don't be offended by the last line, remember I wrote it for my boys.

Beautifully stark, accurate poem you've written.

This does a good job in bringing attention to the paucity of imagination and the ugliness allowed to prevail in our built-up areas.
Topical, terse and spot-on!

Some wise words here. Too many people place an inordinate value
on "happiness" when "contentment" is the most undervalued yet
rewarding of mental (and physical) states.. To be contented IS to
be happy...but it's surprising that this seems to be so rarely appreciated for its proper reality.

Pip,

This poem made me smile as it speaks of other peoplé´s opinions and the effect they can have or not have on one´s behaviour. My advice is to be who you are and true to yourself and tell them the best place on the moors to fly kites.

Thank you indeed for this

Keith

Hi Ray,

It's good to pop in every once in a while--currently, I'm a lone American in Istanbul and have a strong craving for just about anything familiar. It's very easy to fade into the background in such a busy place as this but, at least for the moment, I'm going to create a bit of noise.

Thanks Po, don't really know where it came from, what inspired it, or where I was going with it once I started.
But starting's the important bit, the rest tends to work itself out.
Genuinely, thank you, (wasn't sure if it was any good ?)

Awhhh,,,, that was so kind of you to say farag ?

I do enjoy writing alot.
I write short story's for my kid's for bedtimes.
They enjoy them alot as its always based on their daily antics.

I twist it to make it hilarious with alot of teaching also..

Needless to say , they close their eyes with much wisdom absorbed and a great laugh.

Thank you for this lovely comment. It touched my soul ?

Ok, just listened to the audio file of GR. Mae you have a beautiful voice, a slight husky sultry tone which, for me at least, had a lovely lilting quality. Got to say, I loved it. You could read any of mine anytime you liked, it was great.

Love the feeling of stillness which has often been my own balm. Captured so well. As David so accurately stated "to be content in time and with time is a true gift."
It beats just sitting there waiting to die like so many lost minds.

Mae,

This superbly written poem with gorgeous imagery of a place I know well or should I say a similar place, as I returned last August after living in Spain for ten years. I have one golden gift and that is my Spanish partner who came back with me. Your poem speaks of those sunny climes, the vegetation, the fruit and above all the sun,
Thank you for a poem which fills me with nostalgia and also a powerful sense of yearning to return.

Keith

Ah the lovely comments received in the vacuum of a suspended mind ( which I managed to wrench myself out of to be replaced by daily living).

Keith, I often how we savour inactivity in our different ways, so its nice to have an ally in this, thanks.

Brian, I forgot to mention I was gazing down at slippers ..... cheers.

Yes David, you do make an important point. The mind is really is what is most at risk, but yoga and its followers seems to link the physical balance and stillness with a mental freeing up . I have experienced it, and having done so, have to resurrect it when in states of agitation. I'll get my coat.

Thank you all for the likes: MGS, Kevin, Anya and Dorothy.

It's good to see poetry coming to deliver a message starkly and wrest so much response rightly so John. Yes, a serious side, nice to see from yourself . I sense you found it a hard task to convey with no overriding ego involved , which I applaud.
