Great stuff, Syd. Far too much of it still around . Once upon a time all that made me angry, now in my dotage, just tired.

Ah, those were the days, then we got arrested for nostalgic look backs.
Still, the air is still free. Oops, just got a memo.

Dear Syd, Kudos on every line but this really is in my soul.
They clutch their flags like sacred skin,
wrap rot and rage and hate within.
A pint, a bet, a Brexit cheer
no future grows, but still they sneer.
Kudos on your language your rhyme and your vision. ❤️ 🇬🇧🌹Time to take our flag back for good.

I won\'t demean its effect by saying \"powerful\" - too tame.
This was like riding a bullet train with no brakes...loved it 👏

Feels like we either have to go back to the the first purpose or create our own flags

Great stuff, Syd - also glad to know you are still around.
Always been some ambivalence surrounding flags, and I\'ve seen it change over my (getting long) lifetime.
But don\'t tell me your are patriotic, surely?

For some flags do not mean what they used to mean but then neither do other symbols. A lovely write

Thank you Maxine. I was addicted to anti anxiety medication for ten years. The withdrawal symptoms were terrible. I\'m finally free from them now though.
Glad you enjoyed the poem.

The loss - it still tickles the edge of the memory, though in no coherent form....
Intervene early and slap them up here. Do try please.
Good to see you once more, Syd.

Proud Of My Poverty
Doggerel Dave said:
Great to see you back, Syd.
While I can be proud of my working class roots (London\'s East End, before it became trendy), I cannot vote for anything which glorifies poverty...... (I\'m pretty sure that is not what you meant, but that\'s the word I\'m gnawing away at right now).

Slug Trap

Woah sounds cruel if they do that to cats and slugs unless the slugs are real pests. The ones I have encountered did very little harm . And then your rant on the media is fantastic as well, a sarcastic verse against know it all governments who are only human and make grave mistakes many times. Kudos.
Plz pleez don\'t forget to read and comment my newest poem too.

you have an instinctive talent for seamless rhythm,
though bleak in tone, their is real purpose and message to unearth for those willing to dig beyond the shock-value aesthetics,
you have showcased a glimpse at a very contemplative and empathetic Poet,

Oohh, I don\'t fancy licking them. I\'ll stay with using them for shaving only!
\'Crimson salt\' has me hiding behind the sofa shuddering at the thought.

Brian here ~ Good Evening Sid - Thanks for a very intriguing Poem. Loved the PIC we dont use that type of blade anymore we use three small blades embeded in Plastic @r 50 x the cost. The old type were very useful ! One of my Party Tricks used to be chewing Razor Blades & I never cut my mouth ! I agree with your premise - we do spend too much time trying to reconnect with the past ! However to live *WE must seize the Present* and move on ! Thanks for sharing - please check our site - Thanks
Love - Peace - Joy
