Avishek, your poetry has real potential. I look forward to reading more of your work. By reading the poetry of others and reading in general will improve your own poetic skills.
Thank you

Sheesh Nigel!
See Ruth, all mumbo jumbo. Nigel falls in a well and I fall off a ladder.
If you're not careful you could be sued for false mumbo jumbo-ing.
Lucky you don't live in America. You'd have lawyers all over you by now....... Nigel and I are nice well-fall-inners and ladda-fall-offers. We like you too much....?

We also recycle plastic into school benches. A great idea for dealing with soft plastics
We also invented the term 'selfie'. Which has nothing to do with recycling plastics....

when I say I love simplistic poems like this one I don't mean it disrespectfully, I mean it in an applauding way of how guys like you can write brill poems like this using only the simplest of words. ?
Bravo Mike!

Throwing a penny
into the wishing well
to make sure
all hocus pocus fails
but sadly did
not come true
as I bent over
down I fell.

Beautifully written, succinct and so on point that it could outpoint the point of a pointy thing. The bridge is fragile, the waters are murky and flame flickers ever present.

Very good, as usual, Mae.
I liked the 1st and last line repeat. Each stanza different but begun with 'I refuse' to tie it all together. 2nd and 3rd line end-rhymes also good....

John,
This poem caught my mood this morning as for some days I have felt a sense of desolation about the world. It may seem strange but the words of Boenhoffer came to mind "then they came for the socialists, then the gypsies and now for the monks". We are engaged in a constant battle of spiritual warfare where the divine script is torn into shreds by the tyranny of man. This poem helped me to see a comparison between what we can strive for yet at the same time what we are up against.
A precious and superb piece of writing for which I thank you.
Keith

Original item by John McDonough
You often can't tell who people are writing about.
I have a mental condition and am always saying talk about it. Raising awareness and education is the way forward.
I'm OK here too. Maybe a little 'off key' but hey? I'm happy. Which is why I post a lot of humour. Gotta have this to stay afloat hey?
R I OK? Yep....onna roll
Heaven help us.....?

All good here Don, ? Thank you for asking, and thank you for your commentary. I write from personal experience, been, done and T-shirt. The poem was written to raise awareness not as a cry for help.

By the links you included at the bottom I detect this could be about your own personal situation John. I could be wrong.
I like the way you have told the story. You pull no punches. I like the rhyme technique.
Robin Williams put on a fake smile to say hey I'm fine. No-one knew he was aching inside. Suicide was his way out.
Stephen Fry on QI would smile at the camera while inside say 'I want to die'
Mental illness needs bringing out into the open for discussion and education. You have done well to include the links John.
R U OK?

Thank you Ray. I appreciate your work, particularly this one, as it strikes a chord.
Bryan, I have not off loaded any back catalogue here. That stuff is all packed up and unread by me or any other. Everything that I posted was "on the hoof", as you say.
With that, and with a nod to Ray,
I'll take my coat.

It would have pleased you greatly writing this. As you imply, it simply fell out by itself. I get pleasure writing and reading my rhyming work.
I got great pleasure reading yours. There are so many good lines here:
"Physically I'll stand alone, but digitally have 10,000 friends."
Gosh, every line is good.....
As a rhymer, I feel you have excelled your self here. Well done.

Ray - apologies to go off at a tangent but as you mentioned Devon I would like to say something about him and about contributors in general. I could be wrong, but it appears in retrospect that Devon was here to download his back catalogue as many have done before him, and having done so he has gone taking his work with him. It's a pity he didn't stay as he is very talented and I am sure he is able to write poems 'on the hoof' so to speak as many of us do.
I also note that el Pintor has gone.
