I\'m no good at riddles or anything remotely obscure - so just indulge me, give me a break...

My American Finger
L. B. Mek said:
\'I do not understand why the moth flies into the flame
Has he never been singed\'
(I do not understand why people continue to lie
do they not know, in-order to lie - we must first, lie: to ourselves...)
\'I am human and American, and I am not ashamed\'
(I am a Person and a Temporary resident on Earth
dogpaddling to survive in our collective, embarrassment and shame)
\'neverโin nothing, great or small, large or pettyโnever give in
except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force\'
(never surrender to wilful ignorance\'s, easy trappings
where all our enemies are born of other\'s, misdoings
while we deem ourselves - obliviously: blameless...)
(please, forgive me for rudely and arrogantly
interpreting and misconstruing your message of defiance
against those oppressing forces, within society..
I sincerely don\'t mean to be contrary
just, for the sake of it, dear Poet
only, I wanted to point out that change, usually begins
with acknowledgement of our own - somewhat innate, fallibility)
thanks for sharing!
(feel free to delete my comment
if you find it offensive or argumentative
again, really sorry if you did)

Portents II
L. B. Mek said:
there\'s a distinct difference between being alone and feeling lonely
a solitary existence may be a temporary need of personal preference
at choice crossroads in our lives path
since its too hard to hear ourselves - think
when busily juggling other\'s pinons: of ourselves..
a good read, thanks for sharing

Romantic Interlude

More sarcasm than anything, but I\'ve seen a lot of relationships in my days - my own and others. The pic was an afterthought. Thought it drove home the sarcasm nicely. Hope I didn\'t do too much damage - not intended. Thanks for reading.

A neat little write, Eugene. (My oblique way of giving a tick).
However, because I have very little talent or understanding of metaphor, I\'m always unsure... I half feel this could be about a failed relationship (popular topic on MPS) or about a carnivorous plant.
On the theme of plant your pic. took me down a rabbit hole and I ended here:

Thanks, but I\'m not sure I\'ll sleep tonight...

Driven by the Moon
L. B. Mek said:
some insightful truth\'s you\'ve shared, and a good read:
\'To live so subtly
Diminished to all
Who live in starkness
Not darkness, you see
Or can you see at all
With that glare in your eyes\'

Stormy
BRIAN & ANGELA said:
Thanks EUGENE for a very elegant & salutary poem ! I have experienced several Storms in the USA (including Florida) and they are much more intense than anything we have in the UK ~ so I know what you are referring to ! However as well as Thunderstorms we all have Emotional Storms in our lives ~ and sometimes the only way out is submission ! Thanks for SCARING ! Yours BRIAN !
