Hello, Sid,

Every cell a horror story, each verse deeper and deeper into the savagery and carnage of the insane. The poem it self, perfect rhyming, meter and the theme composed with deftnes and skill. Well done indeed.

All the best,

Tony.

Fascinating read, such imagery I used to live near the south western hospital which was for the \"nut cake\" when I was a kid. In the 70\'s/80\'s I us d to see all sorts on the streets. 🌹

I remember visiting Atascadero state hospital for the criminally insane in California and although I worked in the prison this place was creepier and darker. Nicely written for this season of the year. Well done

Ah, Syd! As someone who came of age in the nineties, I can certainly appreciate the cultural time machine you\'ve constructed! LOL! It\'s amazing how a few familiar references can bring back an entire chapter of life. Much appreciated, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Brilliant notes on an era in song, Syd. 90’s plus, you say? Thought it was more likely the 80s until you applied the correction. But who am I? I’m stuck, at least mentally, in the 60s and 70s, so…

As someone sober from alcohol, Syd, I felt uncomfortable recognition in that first part. Especially having such a ready answer for anyone who might question it. Much respect to you. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Did you just open the pandora box of the 70\'s

My girlfriend would be jealous if she knew my true feelings for you

That\'s such a simple yet powerful metaphor for someone addicted

Kudos my dear friend, I\'ve seen what drugs do to people in my home town in London I always had compassion for them, your poem is of an excellent discussion. Last words, just shows pure strength 🌹

Valium, Xanax, Lorazepam you name it a drug made for modern society no longer afraid of wild beasts just the wolf at the door, and a bear market. A sad but good write.

Don\'t think I liked this, Syd... bought back too many memories of my life (thankfully long past) of my life as a wage slave....😜
Would have left a comment on your Utube page, but not sure how to go about it ...
All came together nicely on the vid.

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
