Fucking great way to carry that rhyme. I know I probably sound like a broken record by now, but I don't read much rhyming poetry besides my own - so it's refreshing to read. Nice job on all of these pieces man.?

If I want lotsa comments I write doom and gloom
Which appeals to WOL poets on site (such a shame)
If I want just a trickle of comments for my effort
I'll write fun and laughter (such a shame)

As usual Hannah, your remarks show complete empathy with what i'm trying to achieve. Very satisfying to get responses which underpin one's efforts. You know now how I suffered creatively from my work. it did have an upside too, socially. We all do what we have to.

Thanks so much Ray

Hello there DK - thanks for the comment on my page.
No - it's not me on the bench - a snap by me taken in
Dartmouth, Devon, overlooking the River Dart towards its
estuary. This was the jumping-off spot for many US armed
forces' vessels employed in the D-Day Landings 1944...on
Utah Beach. Now it is a very popular holiday spot - but
you can also probably imagine how busy it was then!
Cheers,
MC

Always topical in the human story.
Greed, envy, lust for power - and, rarely, sheer necessity...
instigate war. For some, there is a fascination in conflict...almost a blueprint in the human make-up that demands an outlet in aggression...once accommodated by
life and death combat and now, thankfully, diluted into
sporting contests that only very rarely risk death and disfigurement to achieve ascendancy/victory.

WOL therapy?
Better, t'is said
To speak ill of the dead
Than do likewise with the living,
One is gone,
Better then to look on
The sine qua non of forgiving.

Stuart,

Thank you for this poem which is thought provoking with an underlying tension of urgency. I go along with all you say as I find the global predicament as regards pollution quite frightening. A good poem.

Becky, as a poem this is an exceptionally well written one! Bravo!

On a more personal note, this is the very best form of therapy to heal your pain and rid yourself of anger. I do hope sharing this helps to rid every last ounce of your hurt away! Thank you for sharing! I feel you...oh the stories I could tell. Perhaps someday I will. ????

Excellent piece Becky. That emotion you put into this shines through and carries the words well. Angry poetry is the most visceral and interesting to read - as it allows us the most unfiltered, clarifying scope into the poet's head as humanly possible.

Definitely one of your best I've read so far. Keep up the great work improving your writing every day, it's great reads.?

Thanks Brian. I don't really like to come across as angry and bitter - at least not on a personal level - but I had to get this one out of my system.

It really is a slam, hence it's length, sorry.
