Syd, this made me laugh and wince at the same time. Life really can feel like one freaking warning light after another. Loved this my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Beyond recognition of an old banger I once owned, I’ll leave deeper interpretation to any metaphor maniacs 😂who may be watching. Rich in horrible detail, Syd; thanks for the memory; glad it is just that now.

A flood of metaphors makes a collage of meaning in this poem. Nicely worked it carries a surreal feel.

First, great tile! And yes, 💯free-range festering manure wins over factory-produced perfection every damn time, Syd. I’m not against the appropriate use of AI any more than I would have been against Gutenberg’s printing press. But when someone is using AI to shortcut creativity, I do have to ask why. I also don’t trust AI’s ability to determine human writing from its own. My poem today touches on why! 🤣 🤦♂️ Well, all that is neither here nor there. Brilliant rant, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nice rant, Syd.
I hope it raises awareness in some of the practitioners and act as a warning.
Not quite sure what the copy and paste does though. I would be pleased to add another piece of artillery to my armoury.
I\'ve actually called a \'poet\' out, though it made not one whit of difference to anyone\'s reaponses here.

As long as it is advertised as AI and not put out as someone\'s work I am okay with it but fail to see the point in that it attempts to put emotion into a write where the author has none. Well written

Syd, I’m over here across the pond, but I recognize that weird feeling of watching the familiar change around you and not knowing where any of it is headed. A fantastic song and read, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I don\'t know what went wrong with the 80s, the music was shit, the decade just seemed to produce nothing.
Probably get vilified for that, but that\'s how I remember it.
Wonder if there were more divorces in the 80s.

Terrific write, Syd! I love how this travels through changing cultures with humor while still acknowledging the wreckage left behind. The eighties jab especially got me 😂...I was never much of a fan either. Really enjoyed this one, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Ah (sob) the sixties and seventies gone... The eighties from your vantage point did not impinge - for me it was a time of struggle, an attempt to attain some stability (more or less achieved). As for the rest...
A really neat quick framework which makes me wonder what I was at sometimes...
Great Syd, Thanks.

You too, eh? I swear, I was so grateful once 1990 rolled around, thankful the \'80\'s were finally OVER. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. And since fashion brought back the ghastly \'80\'s styles you can suffer a double take as the trendy souls go about sans the attitudes of that era, but in the hairstyles and garments.

2018 - a year of enlightenment or despair, Syd?
For me it is someone who has learnt the songs , sings them in response to any circumstance or event...
Nice one, mate

I’ve been called many things, but ‘tubers of the same mycelium’ is a first. Truly clever.
In the end, I do have something of a crowned mushroom in me.
Brilliant verses.

Syd, this is a wild, affectionate psychedelic love song. It has humor, intimacy, ego-dissolution, and genuine admiration all swirling together...and somehow it stays warm through all the weirdness. Great piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a powerful piece, Syd. I know that urge to numb the noise and make the world recede for a while...and I know the clarity that comes from no longer living there. I’m glad we both made it to this side of the bottle, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn effective descent happening here—the bottle begins as “freedom” and “sacred medicine,” then the poem gradually reveals the cold, isolating cost underneath the relief. The final exchange is haunting because the darkness becomes both emotional and literal, with dementia, memory, and that bioluminescent blue pulling the speaker deeper.

The need for obliviousness obviously there at the time and that poem bears witness. Did a fine job to fight your way out, Syd. I felt the write was part of the battle.

Well said; your poem revolves around the complexities of escapism, isolation, and the search for meaning in life.
