The past terrifies us all. We wish we could have done things different. I like the ending

'that green David Cameron sucking teat' yeah well this is a bit of a nipple sucking craze. Trouble is depends on your politics. However, a nicely provocative poem. I do not wish to reveal mine. But enoyed the point.

Lots 'going on' i feel, in just a few simple lines. The true beauty of poetry.
Do you have a garage where you keep these poems Pete? A lock-up, maybe?
I actually prefer this more gentle sounding PC than the one that i read and sense the ranting. I absorb more this way. Beltin' (as they say in Wigan).

Comment is about my unselfish lover (blog)

Oh Pete. this is such a beautiful poem. I love the easy style, the repetition of first and last line, the internal rhythm and rhyme. Enchanting Pete, enchanting.

Oh, Louise, you are such a flatterer! Thank you for your blush-making comments. What a good excuse to read your works on here, and thank goodness, really like them...

I really enjoy the rhythms you create. There's a real beat and flow to what you write, never mind the wonderful, graphic imagery of your words. Simple, stark and too, too evocative...

this is such a clever poem and I love the way the disjointed format suits the awkwardness of young love. I think the repetition of first and last line is very effective

A fantastic poem Jordan. I really like the format of the poem. I think having stagnation on one line works really well.

The title intrigued me very much as did your poem. You seem to have a heightened sense of awareness and certainly you bring a spiritual element to your writes.

Fascinating to read...

I feel your frustration in this write. As though you are both locked in a chamber with no doors and it seems the only key is to speak out.

Was trying to picture your write with this scary cannons and the frightening Bertha woman...Not sure what kind of cinema you have been watching when creating this poem. A little mystery there - Interesting write!

Hello, Pete

I am not much of a meat person and never was. I like fish on occasion and love natural foods. I am upset when the animals are being tortured kept as slaves to be fatten and sold to the butcher shop. That really annoys me that my stomach turns around. Sorry…The cave people were hunting for a natural animal and they consume raw meats. Still our Eskimo people are doing that on the far North. They seem to be healthy people. The picture you have in your poem show the meat being poisoned disgusting to eat. When our children getting obese and sick so the adults too. Chemicals given to the farm animals rose on the farm. Yes, it is scary world now days. Thank you for the thought provoking poem. EXCELLENT!!

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

This is very nice write, really enjoyed the honest approach toward writing as well as the humorous side of it!

"""As writer’s block hits and the clock ticks by
My tea’s all gone, the chocolate tasted fine
And I’ll walk home, now that this poem’s done"""

Great picture painted in my mind when you walked home on Friday - happy that the day was done...Smile…EXCELLENT!

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Beautiful write- you have caught the very essence of the emotions when love is present.
The picture shows FOUR SEASONS as in a complete life circle. Really like the end how you wrapped up the emotions… Great poem !

Comment is about Love Is (blog)

Hello, Phil

Wow! The poem is a real good write. You have caught all life events. A la Grand use of metamorphosis, too…There is politics, sport and every day chores. The write is a huge picture that embedded many things in one frame. You have given a lot of thinking to this composition of words. There are some feelings of dislikes as well as criticism in a good way. It makes me feel at times if it was like a song to sing...GREAT WRITE SIR!

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Hello, Mirna

You got all perfect in this poem. This is exactly how kids are today. With no computer, there is no life...Smile. I remember how we played with our neighbour’s kids and had to find different games to entertain ourselves. We sang songs; learn from each other new games... Now the brains of our children are not expanding, they tend to shrink-Glued to the computer screen…Picture perfect not only in you write but the picture that you attached...Smile. Beautiful Poem !

Thank you,
