Definitely for some other odd reason, Nev...😇

I know you like and encourage frivolity down here in the comments space ..but I do note and admire the structure of the works you put up on MPS... though I\'m sure that in the end they have a wider audience who don\'t bugger about as happens here....

Good write N. I wish KP had not chosen me, and that I had not said \'yes\' to her! Doh!

Almost Without Purpose
Dove said:

Lovely poem, there\'s always a purpose, but god gave us a mind to solve it, lol
Now whether we want to marinate the tiniest of specks, or the cries of the wild is up to our imagination.

Almost Without Purpose
MendedFences27 said:

Everything in life has a reason and a purpose, everything else are the idiosyncrasies of their existence. Take for instance, humankind.
A very deep thought expressed her in this poem, and I agree completely with your conclusion.

Almost Without Purpose
Bella Shepard said:

You pose quite a quandry my friend. Perhaps the purpose of something, which seems purposeless, lies hidden in the purpose of something else....? Everything seems ultimately linked somehow. You provide a poem to feast upon here.

And the acid that eats through the paintwork and such. We are at the mercy of the elements and its agencies.

I agree with so many comments before mine...but I know someday we\'ll have the reason for the purpose.I also agree with your last statement about some things having barely no purpose at all.....x

sorenbarrett said:

So much philosophy in this write. Yes, almost is the key word. It is from our perspective that we see. From the bug\'s point of view we may have almost no purpose.

Almost Without Purpose
L. B. Mek said:

\'maybe ignored and unheard ..\'
what is Purpose
in the face of such widespread
Ignorance
to the suffering, we all choose
as a background, ambience
to our plagued, existence
(such a vivid distillation
of paradox complexities
in our human condition;
a scene, as parable
words as subtle coaxing
of whatever humane, we still harbour
a Poem, to contemplate
cherish and revisit)
brilliantly executed!
I bow to your superior talent, dear Poet supreme

\'it\'s entirely about, all
the her\'s\'
see, we need only
visit
our Hellenic mythology
ancestry
to realise, just how many times
that \'trope\'
(Semele\'s nightmare
to Zeus\'s
\'thigh\' birthed child, Dionysus
ring a bell, to anyone...?)
has been used, and abused
by storytellers
across the history of humanity
makes you, think
if all story, is based
on some partial, component
of our everyday, REALITY
how many, mother\'s
were subjected, to such ill-fated
n highly, ignorant
societal abuses, for writer\'s
to assume, we would all
relate
so easily...

L. B. Mek said:

\'just how many dreams
that cost ..\'
Nature, has a most callous way
of reminding us
just how precious, life truly is
(my thoughts go out to all
who\'ve suffered
and the many that lost their lives)
a worthy write, Hyung
thank you!

Leftovers
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!!!
(be it a single, memory
revisiting at an imperfectly
timely, moment
or that picture, we walk past
time n again
yet this one moment, we stop
to consider, choosing
to allow the pain and remember
or
those remnant, belongings
decades later
that somehow, still feel
warm, to the touch
as if, just yesterday
they were in the hands
of the one, we so dearly wish
was still by our side...)

Ah - -- natural questions Nev. - - the mystery of Purpose so simply and honestly penned . - --- The word - Almost in your chosen title puts these things in perspective for me when thinking of reasons for life\'s unquestionable varieties of sights and sounds - --- we know nothing yet but one day I\'m sure you agree we will find all the answers......x

Q&A: What is the last thing which passes through the insect’s mind as it hits the windscreen? Answer: its bum. (an oldie but a goldie)

So much fine detail everywhere…but the sum totality is what provides our reality….Nev…😇

Yep, me marriage to KP has barely a reason, and almost, no purpose at all. Well, I can\'t think of any reason or purpose. I\'ve not got the foggiest! lol.

orchidee said:

I will have to look up the story then.
Might it be a hymn-poem, if I could adapt it?!
And furthermore - I said, \'Oh you can call me anything; just don\'t call me Agnes\' (unrelated to this, just a random bit of nuttiness). lol.

It is being reported here that the death toll had climbed to over 50,000 people between the two countries. A most sad situation, and your poem demonstrates the enormous power of Nature. - Phil A

When I read of the ongoing conflict in Syria, compounded by this devestating earthquake, I cannot begin to imagine the untold suffering and loss these people endure. Thank you dear friend for this compassionate and enlightening poem.

A meaningful poem with deep regrets,
World must think it over deeply to help,
The poet is absolutely right in his feelings,
We must view all as humans and assist!
