Comment is about Word Search (blog)

Original item by John Botterill

But I shudder to think of what might take its place in the human
context of inspiration/aspiration". Did Orwell;'s "1984" have
Royalty as its villain?. There can be a tendency to confuse its
meaning to the population at large with the decisions made by
politicians about who gets what from cash taken from the tax-payers' pockets.

Thank you Keith, I'm not sure where the illustration is from. I probably just came across it on t'internet & screenshot it. I really should take note of who they are by, to give credit where it's due!

Thanks for the like and comment. Frederick. Agree that many teachers are rendered impotent by the system. If they chide the child/student the parents are often aggressive, verbally and sometimes even physically, without even working out why he/she was told off. Don't think though that the future citenzry will be very docile, quite the contrary!!!

Thank you...somebody on a poetry site suggested writing a poem to accompany this picture, there are some wonderful submissions. So that's how this poem came about, my version of what I see in the picture!

A well crafted poem which deals with the most ghastly but avoidable tragedy of Grenfell. The writer Ben Okri also wrote a poem about this event which is well worth reading but your poem is an equal to it. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you for this

A Lightbulb swings in a Room of Dolls

Evil penetrating stare
plastic human mould
subconscious senses fear
disturbing dark demons
invade unexpected mind
anguish heeds warning
caution looks away.

A poem which so very well expresses the reality of war and its awful consequences. "their minds will be a husk", sums up those who survive. Let us pray for a swift end to this useless conflict. Long live Ukraine.
Thank you for this

The title recalls Owen's 'Anthem for Doomed Youth', of course, Stephen. As you may well have intended. Another poem from you full of pity and empathy. Thank you for keeping Ukraine's flag flying.

Thanks for dropping a line or two in the comment box. You are much appreciated: keith, John, Stephen. The discomfort makes for the poetic 'wrestling,' keith. May not make it easier or less painful but we can, as we say, "go down with a fight;" and "not go gently into the night." And so all the 'first times without them' has begun. Cheers. /Frederick.

Thanks, John. Clever presentation of this business, which I enjoyed. I suppose 'liar" and 'lawbreaker' don't have the desired effect either! Perhaps only the darts cry of 'One Hundred and Eighty' (or more) will do it.

A well written poem from another perspective. The voice of the poet is sincere and his concerns are clear. It is good to hear the other point of view as it sobers our thoughts to a different reality.
