I suppose it\'s true that men typically only remember the last thing that they hear, or is it just selective. After having lived with one for 53 years I can also attest to the fact that they are attracted by shiny objects as well. lol. Just kidding, you are a treat in whatever you write dear friend.

Well, I\'m digging deep here when I say that from mainly one word \"own,\" I sense the author is writing of his own birth. Also, the punctuation of the title
\"Still Calm, Safe and Free\" hints at personal feelings.
Those four words end up being treated separately in the context of the poem. I wonder of the significance they have to the author. I mean, why a \"windmill\" to define stillness? So, I\'m probably way off base, but that is what I sensed upon reading this. Greatly enjoyed. - Phil A.

The poem is a beautiful meditation on stillness, calmness, safety, and freedom. The use of vivid imagery and comparisons creates a sense of wonder and contemplation in the reader. Love thisโค๏ธ

dear Suzy, court case floodgates have began worldwide;
those political vultures, have yet again profiteered
now those who were caught up in that political activism
hashtag tidal-wave of collective ignorance
find themselves entrenched
in those quicksand\'s of consequence, only
now, no one cares about their regrets or pain..
there must be a place worse than fantasy hell
for people who capitalise on the vulnerable
there must be, an entre galaxy dedicated to it
just for humanity\'s vile vultures
still
I hope those who are truly suffering with their identity
can find avenues of healing and counselling
(an important write, dear Poetess)

such intimacy of worded warmth
many a grand parent \'to be\'
would recognise your sentiments
(I\'m keeping everything crossed
that all goes well, Hyung!
and a champagne on ice, you know
to help you celebrate
as the thoughtful friend i am, lol)

my mythology mind, reaches for Echo and Narcissus
mirage, linkages

my love of Keats takes me to his Lamia verses
\'\'Fast by the springs where she to bathe was wont,
And in those meads where sometime she might haunt,
Were strewn rich gifts, unknown to any Muse,
Though Fancy\'s casket were unlock\'d to choose.
Ah, what a world of love was at her feet!\'\'

(yet, when all rapture of reactionary immediacy
finds in me a portal to serene, thought
I must take heed and realise, once more
dear Poet supreme
it be your words and poetry, alone
that stir me to realms of poetic ecstasy)
and thus I thank ye, with utmost sincerity
(lol
forgive my egotistical foolery Hyung
I just loved your poem)

A tender look back to a special year when, from your delicately chosen comparisons - - maybe -- - a much loved new born appeared -- -- well only my guess of course - -- but such a beautiful feel to this read my dear friend............x

Good write N.
Was it \'67 that I married KP? I dunno. Seems like hundreds of years ago, as time is NOT going quickly, as I\'m NOT enjoying myself - to reverse that saying! lol.
Now me next poem - \'Each day an agony (with KP)!\'

Good words Suzy which I agree with, in all my long life I have always tried to treat everybody with respect no matter what sexual orientation they may or may not be.

\"Under No Misconception\" is a thought-provoking and well-crafted poem that invites the reader to reflect on the meaning and value of parenthood, family, and intentionality.

I never gets any \'excitement\' or any of its connotations anyway. And Fido certainly don\'t let me have any \'ardour\'. He says it\'s not good for me and KP to have ardour. lol.

Very good and thoughtful poem. Yes, we have that issue in the old US of A but now they are letting children decide what they want to be and not letting parents know....a topic that is hot right now. I also am not bigoted, have a lot of gay and bi friends and family but children is a whole nother issue...x

The poem\'s themes of hidden beauty and the complexity of human nature are conveyed through a conversational tone that creates an intimate connection between the poet and the reader.

Ah, be careful what you wish for. I can only assume that his heart\'s desire fulfilled, he died a happy man. Sad, but beautifully told dear friend.
