You broaden the effect that these troubled times has on us all dear friend and you word it so well that it brings sad sighs - - lockdown and continual news has proved so powerful to many -- yet your poetic mention of Spring\'s entrance lifts this reader\'s heart as buds stand ready to show that - - \"this too will pass\" - - a moving read Dusk - - roll on these needed changes.

Very sad write but a beautiful piece nontheless. I also feel somewhat down with all the awful news but have a happy streak within me looking forward to Springs rebirth. Already so many signs are showing so all will be well despite the aging bones, uncut hair, leaking garage roof, collapse of the art market, fault on the tv outlets around the house, Trump effectively in charge of the Republicans who are s**t scared to go against him, still damn cold outside. But otherwise all okay!!!

Good write dusk.
Nothing \'tired\' about this poem! A hymn-line says \'This tired and weary earth\'.

You go very metaphorical (probably a better word, but I can\'t think of it right now) at times , dusk and loose me.
Unfortunately YouTube is holding out on me where I am (Video unavailable) wherein may lie the solution.....

Reminds me of men who adorn whiskers as well , and the pride they feel and the hours they spend grooming, waxing etc etc, as can be noticed in historical photos.
Loved the subject and the poem as well.

\'call me twitchy, if you will,
but my whiskers are my pride\'
\'I look forward to the day
when safe in the knowledge
they are both sporting
whiskers \'par excellence\'
they can bugger off
and find their own
bluddy worms to chew.\'
\'and i\'m only scribbling this
to try to defeat this
damned insomnia.
I should be warmly
curled into a nesty ball
with her indoors\'
Brilliant!

I fervently hope he does get a good kip, because I wish Freddie (whiskers) Field Mouse would return and indulge in some regular scribbles in order to keep us up to date with his further doings...

passing-on our responsibility \'down the line\' has led us to this predictably short-sighted mindset, however well intended...
chairman Mao accounted for \'Millions\' of deaths to see his plan fail, he is no hero of \'humanity\' or \'humane ideologies\'!
and enforcing responsibility on children, however ethical its sentiment, is tantamount to the thinking that has millions of children being weaponised by their governments and drugged to perform acts of genocide (child soldiers)...
a slippery slope we dare to play, when we \'choose\' to let children provide us the answers we so-called adult\'s are too inept to excavate for ourselves!
let us educate, indeed...
but let us gift them a chance at living their own life\'s, not those we deign to design as \'being in their best interest\'...
I say let children be children for as long as fate grants them the opportunity to be...
(forgive me if my opinions upset you my friend, I am replying to your proposed idea, not you directly)
thank you for sharing dear Poet!

Well put, Dusk. Great to see you fearing for the world rather than just appreciating it, as the spirit or whatever you perceive in there ain\'t going to survive in the face of human depredations.
Kids have. of course already taken up the issue (some of them), as they recognise that they are the ones to inherit the mess we leave. Hopefully, if covid comes under control, their voice will be heard again...

All I can to give mine and others a voice to be heard as they are our future and have eyes from the past, it is about time we played a more personal part! Sadly most forgot their own and wish to pay off the guilt with no true heart....
Thanks for the early morning vibration and inspiration buddy, have a wonderful day!

costly, some expenses
accumulate on bill\'s

karma comes to collect...
a great write Dusk, sometimes we all feel the need to escape, but like you write
escaping within lies comes at a hefty cost - sometimes
