Thanks Stephen and Bethany for your comments. Deflating balloons is a game of for children of all ages 🎈
The analogy is a bit of a stretch, but I enjoy a bit of metaphysical contortionism haha 😁

This is a winner, John. I love the idea of the balloon as a metaphor and I'm sure William will - in time.

Quite agree, John. This could put you in line for the Costa prize (or Caffe Nero), if there is any justice. I rarely got past the first step, mind you.

seeing a balloon flying around the room as it deflates never fails to inflate laughter does it John 😄

Thanks John, these posts are taken from videos shared on Twitter by Dr Amir Khan. He writes inspirational posts each day using wonderful words. I try take those words and put them into a poem. I have his permission and have been doing this for over a year. Sometimes I don’t need to change very much and sometimes I add quite a bit. I can’t really take any credit for them. Jx

One of the locals Old John who used to wear a slightly worn cowboy hat, would say had to change my pint too warm but still had drank most of it.
How I miss the many Landlords as well as the drinkers who always had a good tale to tell Stephen.

Thankyou all so much for the likes and comments. We poets know how amazing it is to get positive feedback from our peers. I am always truly touched when I feel I may have moved just one person with my words. I really appreciate it when someone takes the time to read and like/comment. Thankyou again. 😌

Cheers Greg! It has been a breath of fresh air watching Mick Lynch speak truth to power and completely unravel the news-as-entertainment model.

Great stuff, Steve. No, I don't think it is that Starmer fellow. I rather think it's a heroic bloke called Mick.

Brilliant poem, Steve. I love how you mix humour with the bewilderment of...well, quite a lot of them, I guess..

Many thanks to Rose, Leon, Stephen and John for the very kind comments. I am pleased that so many enjoyed it because I think the issue is of prime importance and the fact that a large part of the world does not (or does not want to) listen, is very disturbing.
Thank you to Frederick, Tom, Bramwell, Holden and K Lynn for liking.

Magnificent Stephen. You make a very valid point with great skill and poetic charm. It's all the more hard hitting because of that!

Thank you very much dear Frederick in your continuing support for my stumbling attempts at writing poetry.
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Good point, John. Although I'm getting up earlier and earlier these days, woken by the background roar of the M25, which starts around five. At first I thought it was our Combi boiler

Nice one John.
We need more class like this on this site, and some of the younger members of the site could learn a lot if they read more of your fantastic musings.
I must say though, being a nonsmoker I don't know about starting the day with a fag.
