Sadly we make them grow up too quick. Guidance counselors try to pin them into career paths when they\'re 9 etc. Maybe Santa Claus can give them back their youth for Christmas this year. Good poem.

The Daily Commute
Goldfinch60 said:
You could have been writing about my experiences when I was working.
The only difference was the three sh\'s
mine was shit, shave , shower. It still is but no rush now.

Dark days indeed!!!! I\'ve retired a year now and find I am waking earlier (and easier) now that I don\'t have to go anywhere! It was God awful wasn\'t it - especially in our (east coast USA) winter weather in the dark...

Is it any worse if commuting by train? I got caught in rush hour trains recently. Couldn\'t be helped. I would hate daily commuting.

Goldfinch60 said:

The Promise of a Shower
Fay Slimm. said:
A place of sheer silence that oozes gross fear -- no space is daubed deeper with ghosts of poor victims - - A well-crafted verse of saddest reminders that evil used lies and deceit to achieve - - What a haunt of a read.

Do the birds sing there yet? It\'s said they don\'t (or didn\'t). It\'s said too, that in hell, the punishments match the crimes, but eternally, so.....

Road Trip
Goldfinch60 said:
You are so right TRB, driving used to be such a pleasure. I too had the wife (trying) to read a map, once I said hour far is the next turning, she replied \"About half an inch\".
Very good nostalgic write.

Retired Bloke,
An excellent, nostalgic read!
This writing of yours is so relatable! Right now my mind is being flooded by the many memories of my family’s road trips! I enjoyed them and I miss them!

Yes TRB, I see those people four or five times a week as I sit in Coffee #1 with my wife and as Lawless said I write about them continually. Sometimes I write the poem in the coffee bar and give them to the person that I write about - nobody has hit me yet!

FOMO
orchidee said:
Some \'celebrities\' make us sick! Who cares about a jungle in Australia? There\'s obviously not much going on in the world then, if that makes the front page of newspapers - the trashy ones, I mean!
And I am married to Kate Price (KP) supposedly, for the purposes of being on this poetry site! heehee.

In my long (ish) life I may well have missed out on some things but I have never regretted it as I am more than happy with the life I have.
Good write on the fake world that people seem to call important in this day and age.

There are ways of getting lost when in the home, I can easily get lost in music or a book and the time just flies.
