Marmalade Fingers
L. B. Mek said:

wisdom of taste, tongue to lips
flavours dance
with the passing of time we realise
sweetness in a purr or a lick
we just have to be open minded
to what we\'re offered in life..
(loving the wordplay, Hyung
a fun read
still, just glad you didn\'t take it
to marmite\'s levels
that\'s just irreversibly divisive
even as metaphor)
lol

Man Eater
Teddy.15 said:

My dear Nev, you know that you and I are quite like joint souls when it comes to love, I knew this title would be powerful poetry, and also somewhat comical, my sister was and still is a man eater lol love can surely mess up a perfectly good head. Love these ones you remind me of myself and what once I went through ❤️

Sometimes when that stream of love seems dry, it\'s simply waiting for a good rain to replenish it. I Love the way you\'ve phrased this poem my friend.

Like BBQ on a skewer, poems on a theme often match other skewer on other grills... different days and different flavours. Perhaps there is something there in acquiring a new taste...

Make sure it\'s made with Seville oranges, much more tangy. More of a hot Spanish dance on your tongue. A wonderful breakfast treat. I never met-a-4 I didn\'t like. - Phil A

Marmalade Fingers
Doggerel Dave said:

My slowly grinding pedestrian brain could find no meta meaning here. For how could I temper my craving when the word ‘Marmalade’ is presented to me?
So I remain on the literal level and ask – Any tips? (My current infatuation is with a product contained in a long narrow jar which should be extracted with a specially designed porcelain spoon….)

That reminds me, we\'re out of jam here. Shall we try marmalade next? I will mix it with arsenic in KP\'s sandwich. heehee.
I\'m horrible to her, but killing her off is going too far!

It\'s tangy sweetness transports me back to Mum\'s morning \'appointment\' at the kitchen table and of course ties back rather neatly to Paddington Bear.

Just Another Random Recollection
L. B. Mek said:

a world devoid of choice
in its zeal to appeal to mass
ideological hysteria
where our physical traits
are deemed more paramount
than our personality
skin colour and gender, traits
as that legacy of an accursed
Obama presidency
first black man in power, teaching us
its the rest if the world versus
the \'whites\', what the fck!?
great, we go from Luther\'s dream
of healing and oneness
to reversing and flaming the divisive
hate, and blaming it
all, on skin colour
once again...
a modernity
where demands for reparations
warped as an opportunity
for mass looting and crime
while in India, alone
in our degenerately progressive modernity
in this very day and minute
some 8 MILLION
are being enslaved
and worldwide
child trafficking is a 32 BILLION
industry
...
hark
a silence, that thunders
a sadness as witness
to modernity\'s self-absorbed
belligerence of untamed ignorance
hark,
behold, the demise
of humanity, in real time
a reactionary tweet
and obstinate swipe, at a time...
just fck you modernity!
I\'m so ashamed
that by date of birth alone
I\'m fated to be associated
by your deplorable legacy
just fck you! really
so fcking pathetic!!!
go ahead, build your space armies
align yourself with those ESG
financial deities
and in every choice you make, waste
what opportunity we\'re afforded
to fix this fck\'d-UP world
we inherited as broken
and will leave behind
as utterly, demolished
fck!

Strategic Untruths
L. B. Mek said:

factory built-in, manufactured
in every aspect of our life
from tissues for our seasonal
sneezes, allergic
to all the bulsht we\'re forced
to live with
and those flat packed, lies
we tire of deciphering, just
to get a glimpse of what
has already been done to us...
hear their trumpets
a new election year beckons
where we\'ll be drowned in
all the fake mud, they can manage
to sling at each other
while, hi-fiving each other
for another performance, keeping us
distracted from what crimes
they\'re really committing
still, it\'s all getting better
since years later, them cops
will get em good
for that \'one\' party they held
while, there is a deafening
silence
about the money they blatantly embezzled
or all those abuses of power
they get away with, every time!
(thank you! Hyung
for affording me an avenue
to let these words, off of my
overtly opinionated chest, lol)
an important write

No Rules for All
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
(be it that red string of fate
or golden chains of chance
linking our ankles to paths
we were destined to share
with those, we eventually
come to realise
mean more to us, than those
we\'ve been conditioned
to think of as family
forcedly..
yet
once free, of our inherited
influences
it\'s so clear to see, we
get to choose, who we share
our life with
making the most of our
ephemeral lives, unapologetically)

When One is No Longer
L. B. Mek said:

immersed in our woes and laments
we even manage to make the hurt
we dish out, all bout us...
fallible, cursed to view the world
through our biased eyes
and yet, some of us still struggle
to find a line
between what, we could have been
and what we may yet, become
thus, as hard as it may be
we peel back those duck-tapes
barricading our past mistakes
and boldly, excavate
the lessons we\'ve learnt, insuring
we\'re accountable
for the broken heart\'s we\'ve left
in our wake

Oh I\'d hire a fishing boat we\'d sail out at 5am catching some seriously beautiful Marlin? 50 bottles of Budweiser?
Such an honest write, I often wonder would it even be possible in today\'s world to find true love naturally. It\'s hard to know ❤️

Strategic Untruths
MendedFences27 said:

Media report what people say. Where do the liars originate? Falsehoods spoken publicly should be illegal. Force them to show the proof.
What happens is, the liars inundate the airwaves with their crap. There is not enough time to hold them all responsible. Only the voters can change this. Remove the liars from office and replace them with truthtellers.
You\'ve made a very valid point in your poem and now I\'m riled up. - Phil A.

It isn’t very nice or fair to lie .. tho I know some people can easily do that . Some very selfish people in this world 🤔


So many people can lie .. even on the internet ..and we cannot always believe what we read , see or listen to.

I never even listen to or watch the news .. I know it’s always pretty much negative anyway
