Only fools rush in where angels fear to tread .. and remember, when messing about with an invisible sword, always leave it nearby but wrapped in a pretty and swift to remove wrapping .. neville .. with a small N

Trubba Man
sorenbarrett said:

It took me a while to get the neologism then it all made sense. Just a bit slow I guess. A fun read Dan

Invented Confusion
arqios said:

When grace hesitates the author of lies stirs and revs up the confusion. Very compelling read!

Invented Confusion
sorenbarrett said:

Some very mind provoking lines with deep meaning. (Sincerity, handcuffed to reality\'s layers, honesty made impotent by too many players) (what once was clever, now is mundane, while once respectable now is profane) nicely done

Unrepentant Ventriloquist
sorenbarrett said:

A story all too familiar, upon hearing it I always check my own shadow to see if it is following me. But then having PTSD from past poetry wars I\'m paranoid. Quite the story my friend maybe the ventriloquist will speak sweeter words. Not too sugar sweet though.

Epic .. with so very many chuckles along the way .. Neville

Slightly Different Views
sorenbarrett said:

I liked this approach. It is full of mind provoking thoughts and pushes against the current of common thought. No Moses never did get to the promised land in this life and we never should either lest we grow in our complacency and stagnate.

Small Ghosts
Cheeky Missy said:

Well, and I like you utilizing it too. This is too perfect and fascinating to boot. Beautifully rendered with a none too subtly haunting poignancy and excellent imagery. Thank you very much for sharing.

Small Ghosts
sorenbarrett said:

This reminded me of a philosophy class I had many many years ago. Very small issue but in the third stanza I think it should read Time not Tin but then again I could be wrong. There are so many thoughts branching out of this bush that it fills the space in all directions. I feel some hostility under the surface.

Illogical Soup
sorenbarrett said:

I know Dave that poems can be taken many different ways by readers and so this is probably not what you intended but what I saw. I heard this as a proclamation against political correctness and having to sheath our swords, the cowardice involved. Softened language all of which leads to compacency lulling us to sleep over what the real issues are (that can not be discussed any longer) We don\'t even know what we can talk about anymore and we end with an illogical soup. Going to Fav this one based on the subject matter and I think you did a politically correct wording to make it cryptic enough to be acceptable

Essay on Excuses
sorenbarrett said:

(First little moths of senility flit more regularly now,) a great line there Dan. I can hear reproach and anger in this poem nicely done

Essay on Excuses
Neville said:



You have done a fine job of pulling all the threads together and making an excellent job of presenting the bigger picture as a single cohesive whole .. and for that I salute you, Neville

A most powerful write full of indignation and anger. I have been there in a rage against the machine so to speak. Yes I feel the anger.
