Things Fell Down
Neville said:
At first, until around the middle, I now realise I got hold of the wrong stick .. Funny thing is, you managed to help me grab hold of the right one without even trying .. which just goes to reinforce my pre-existing belief that different eyes may see things differently .. Having now got that off my chest, I must hereby confess, I very much enjoyed the duality of my meandering here today .. Just in case you, or anyone else might be wondering what the hell is this guy waffling on about, I initially thought \'Things Fell Down\' was about some kind of war zone or conflict .. The turning point is when it dawned on me that it referred to the disintegration or failing of a relationship ..
Well penned, friend .. Neville

Seeking Revenge
MaxSmith said:
Hmmm the vengeance mentality I am sure everyone has toyed with. Even if it isn\'t followed through, something I\'m sure we can all relate to.
But someone told me once, the best revenge is to succeed.
A great read Dan, thank you for sharing

Some great images and lines here. Spiderweb of lace very impactful with underlying possible meanings but my favorite line is \"Betrayal dug the grave while trust retreated\"

Sshh .. it happens but then you clearly know that, don\'t you .. let\'s keep it to ourselves since there\'s no point spreading it around .. and anyway, there\'s always more fish in the sea .. or that\'s what my folks said back in the day .. Neville

Seeking Revenge
sorenbarrett said:
I believe in forgiveness for the good of the forgiver but all things have a time and place and revenge can be quite satisfying as anyone that watches movies can attest. Nicely written my friend.

In the U.S.A.
sorenbarrett said:
Glad to hear that no sheep were harmed but I do love lamb chops. To lie is a prerequisit to being a politition those that can\'t lie don\'t get elected and we can blame ourselves the voters for that. Greed and corruption begins in the bed of voters that elect polititions, we and our self interests. A powerful write

Neville said:
I know nothing much about US politics, but I know a liar, a bigot and a narcissist when I see or hear one ..
I had a good deal of time for Obama and believe him to have been an eloquent statesman with vision and good intent ..
Your words hang mighty pretty on this page though regardless sir .. Neville

Night Watchman
sorenbarrett said:
When young I worked both swing and graveyard shifts and relate to this poem. I have slept on my feet and been prodded by the night watchman when they saw I was going through motions with my eyes closed. The repetative nature of the line I am the night watchman is hypnotic in a sense and contributes to the feel of the poem. Very nicely done

Several great lines in this poem but my favorite are the last two lines. Deterministic in view it packs a punch

You express yourself so well in these reflections. A fine write with some wonderful lines. Sometimes we have to process these things to get them out. Cheers, Tom.

sorenbarrett said:
Dan you have linked together a series of gem like stanzas that all relate to ageing. Being in the winter of life I feel the cold of this poem and the wisdom in it. Some of my favorite lines were: Life clung to past reasonable, becomes poor exercise, Why does time hold from us wisdom till its application little matters?, sadness always climbs on for the ride, you pay the fare. A wonderful and most thoughtful write
