Tried something different with this one! think it is better when read aloud, as have tried to get a particular metre to it. Think of it as a carthartic exercise in political anger lol

Thank you very much, John B. Some things I read about what's going on in America at the moment just saddens me. It seems to be slowly choking itself to death.
And thank you John C. Yes, I thought that when I wrote it which, actually, seems apt for the whole sad situation!
And thanks for the likes everyone! đ

Good point Graham re Mother Earth. I gotta move out of the old gender-focused language & use more inclusive references. Will think on that!
No need to get your coat! Lol

I do not wish to be disrespectful but you mention 'transition'. Are we stop calling her Mother Earth? Come to think of it further, why is the planet termed female, when Mars/Jupiter etc are termed fully male.
Sorry, I'll get my coat.

Wonderful stuff, Tom. My old machinery could do with a good blast of WD 40, but I fear it's too seized to restart now. Lol

Thankyou, Holden. Frankly, I couldnât give a monkeyâs about the royals one way or the other. I feel no affinity to him or The Firm. The queenâs death was a matter of disinterest to me - not that I wished her any harm. I just had no interest invested in her.
And thanks for the Like, Frederick.

Excellent, Mike. There is a sneeriness about writing humour, as though it takes less skill than something âworthyâ. Both, of course, need top story-telling skills.

Hi John. Glad you like this. I had read somewhere of the interest in Julius Evola by Scott. Somebody I need to re-read a bit off. Cheers m8.

I changed the title on this poem about addiction, because every time I saw the word "addiction" (in the previous title) I felt depressed. Thanks everyone for your likes, & Stephen & Uilleam for your much appreciated words of understanding & encouragement.

Hi Uilleam. This is not related to commenting. Please could you email help@writeoutloud.net with info on which users can't comment on which entries. If you provide a specific example, I can look into it.
Also, I'd look to reassure everyone that, despite the message, there was no security issue with our server. Our certificate renewed (as it does every 3 months) as normal on 10th Dec 2022 but the web server did not pick it up and was serving the previously expire one until I restarted it.

I know he was interested in the counter-Modern Traditionalist perspectives of Julius Evola. Very interesting man and good Haikus too.
