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

Anyone looking at the Chinese robot races, especially from a military point of view just saw the future armies.

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.

Was it easy?

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

Syd, this is one hell of a tribute to psychedelic wisdom. Science, spirituality, danger, and affection converge in an intelligence that can be playful one moment and ruthlessly instructive the next…revealing what the conscious mind works hardest to conceal. Brilliant piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn honest understanding of how vulnerable poetry really is here, especially in the tattoo artist and “sharing needles” images. “They\'ve bared their teeth / And exposed their soul” is the heart of it—writing may look like words on a screen, but somebody paid for every one of them.

There’s a damn wild collision of biology, petroleum, ancestry, and cosmic insignificance here, and somehow it all circles back to the simple fact of existence. “We are all tubers / of the same mycelium” is a killer image, while that final “We exist!” feels like a fist raised against the void.

Ostensibly a lesson (not to be ignored) on the nature of mushrooms, this opens out as, for me, valid commentary on the nature of humanity, my existence and in passing my consciousness.
Thanks for the richness of the analogy, Syd

Syd, what a wonderfully strange existential ride. This moves through ancestry, ego, absurdity, and cosmic insignificance before arriving at a fierce affirmation. Brilliant piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What I admire most is the intelligence of your minds thoughts. So clever and a hint of humour and so much positivity with a fabulous message that actually makes me smile today, especially as I\'m sitting on a beach watching those on super yachts. Love your mind dear Syd, in the end we are all just oranges and lemons 🌹 💜

Nicely composed from a view that I too hold. We are all part of a whole that forms the universe. Well articulated and with images and metaphor easily digested it tells its story well. Loved it

Syd, this is such a charming celebration of neighborly generosity. One thoughtful gesture produces another, and the honey becomes a perfect symbol for the warmth exchanged between people...sweet in every sense, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a warm, goofy little poem about neighborly kindness, with the “lesbian honey” payoff giving it a damn playful twist. I like that the whole thing stays affectionate rather than preachy—the gift goes both ways, and everyone ends up with something sweet.

I would say you\'ve hit the jackpot.
Honey is the nectar of the gods.

Funny how we take certain aspects of a person and judge them by it. What I consider none of my business becomes an issue of discrimination. People are people and we all are different but somehow the same. Well written
