Some Kind of Curious Something

What appears simple in this poem is far deeper hidden under sheets and blankets, maybe under the bed itself. A realization of what is the meaning of life. A complexity in a simplicity and isn\'t nature always so? Lovely Neville

My attention span is shrinking so do you mind if I just hang on to your last four lines? With the \'you\' in there rather than \'we\' I believe you have it, Sir....

Now that casts a rather dark pall over this poem. \"Pray\" indeed \"haunt\" yes. This poem is haunting and the message is clear. People are not yet ready to govern themselves, not wise enough to choose proper leaders, too weak to overcome greed. A sad commentary of the human race. A wonderful write that talks to the potential outcome of such actions or inactions. As usual well done in poetic grace

A strong rightful critism of the human race as a whole, they who commit the sins and crimes we see on the news everyday but also those of us who allow them to, a powerful and accurate write.

And those are the good guys. A powerful poem, a critique on human nature not only to do such things to the world we live in and ourselves but to allow it. Black Sunday it is. The worst part is that it is true.

Of 8B+ agendas the world over, the few that are fulfilled and subscribed to could be counted on the fingers of one hand…. that it seems is where the powers that be resides… of course kingmakers and power brokers are thrown in the swill as in days of old, we don’t need to attend mediaeval fairs because we are living in such times. 🙏🏻🕊

Once I Felt Like a Sky Hungry Kite
Cheeky Missy said:
In the rarer instances where a kite was my vehicle, dipping, diving, soaring, flying, the heavier motions of pride and greed were lost to the higher regions of purer air whose essence knew not such base notions. That was also the occasion where my newly acquired baby doll had her face totally squashed in while my back was turned, by the heat of the sun, allegedly, and after that I only remember the subsequent amusement of too many years later when the minor truths rectified that in style. Your characteristic rendering so charmingly culling these same sensations, tis regrettable the Phoenix won\'t remain on the menu indefinitely. Intriguing with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy, thank you for sharing.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
I can relate to this. The feeling of once wanting to soar, to fly...but life has beaten and weathered one down to the point of limply stumbling, or chaotically skipping along the ground as one tries to haphazardly take flight with little ability, let alone desire, to soar anymore. That, at least, is what I got out of it, anywho. Well done, my friend. ❤️

A fine metaphorical write Neville. Our skies are often frequented by red kites and magnificent they are too. A few days ago they were swooping down on the flat roof of our garage. Most unusual as they are carrion birds. There was plenty of bread and other birds there, quite a disturbance. I also thought of childhood and kite flying. I travelled with your words which can be read many ways, but unmistakably with an air of darkness. Light and shadow, always much to think about. Lovely.

Child\'s toy or bird was the first question. You are playing with my mind again Neville. Love the line (sky hungry kite) I envision it taking bits out of the sky The eclipse and the shadow now starve me in metaphor. Here I stumble around looking for explanation and indeed in this one you have eclipsed me and left me in shadow and yes I doubt there will be any resurrection soon. This is full of too many possibilities my friend you have got me. It could even be seen as a plus eighteen if you want to push it that far.

Love wrapped in poetry. Metaphors that are a metaphor. He and she involved in the \"silly old game.\" Maybe it\'s the way she \"looks,, walks, or \"plays\" That gets the \"Game\" started, and it ends at the end of your last line. Oh my, what a joy. Loved it, - Phil A.

A very entertaining write exploring do we look to much into what people have said or do we not value them when we should, or we just take them at face value and get on with our life, enjoyed the read
