dictators are like amplifiers
Doggerel Dave said:

You might classify this as surrealist, Jon, but the symbiotic relationship here is clear - and true.

Thanks

The Battle of Brandy Station
jarcher54 said:

A fine action poem turned into a meditation on violence, human frailty, and the meaning of life. God has a lot to shake her head about, that\'s for sure. And maybe shed a tear... at some point does God stop trying?

I once wrote a poem with a one letter title. Guess?

Interesting thought given the admonition this bounces off of, Jon..

\'our strips of stuff that tatter as we move\'
jarcher54 said:

I had to catch my breath after this one. I picture the three Fates, one spinning, one weaving, and one snagging a loose thread to begin unravelling us, all jumbled into one intense tour de force. Painful and somewhat beautiful!

Things will never be the same so we will move into a new norm.

Goldfinch60 said:

I too come out when the sun sets Jon so be careful whom is behind you.

Good fun write.

the vampire cowboy
Doggerel Dave said:

Although not au fait with all your allusions Jon, I have the feeling this is a neat funny little piece.

PS: Who is this Ephesians4:26 guy anyway? Is he a poet here? I’d go and sort him out or do the red ‘report’ button……………….😉

Death and the Kings
Doggerel Dave said:

Awake too late, though - a well told tale, Jon.
The irony there - what was once; what is now: King 2 wanted King 1\'s son to marry his daughter..... and now?

cut and paste poem #16: bertrand russell and snagglepuss
Doggerel Dave said:

With snagglepuss in the mix I find it funny and, yes, a little surreal.
Thanks Jon.

100 books you must not read before you die #35
Doggerel Dave said:

I do not as a general rule take statements of which I have no prior knowledge on face value, but attempt to investigate (in this case, named George Berkeley). This I endeavored to do. Search lasted approx 10 minutes, after which I was forced to lie down with a cold compress over my eyes. Headache eventually reduced to tolerable level.
Thanks for the recommendation - I should\'a taken more notice.

eyelashes shut like venus flytraps
Doggerel Dave said:

Although the experimental form did not make for clear understanding by this literal pedestrian mind, it didn\'t appear sad to me.....
