The Redundant Fist
Bella Shepard said:
Having grown up in an era of spankings and hand slapping I can definitely relate to this. The blow tells you that you did something wrong, but it doesn\'t explain the better way. And that feeling as your being turned over the knee, or the sting of a palm against your fingers is confusing for a child. I guess I think that words can often teach more than blows, especially when there is good thought behind them. Good write my friend!

Good explanation, Neville.
Love short-form poetry. I enjoy writing Haiku, Senryu, and Lunes. I am intrigued by this Mokhu and a Faikhu. A lot of the time I write FUQs, but I try and cleverly hide them in a Lune on the edge of a Senryu so the algorithms don’t reject them. But that is when I am addressing politics.

Question: Will there be a test on this Monday? If so, I definitely need to get my khu\'s straight, a lot to put in this old brain. The last one, however, I think I\'m familiar with. Kudos!

Google is a little ambivalent with respect to the title of your piece, Neville.
Given that, and your suggestion that it ain\'t rude, but forced to take into consideration Fay\'s commentary (Sorry Fay) I am very much afraid I shall have to draw my own conclusions..........

Doggerel Dave said:
Preserved in aspic by your piece, a way of life which many, and I’m not exempt here, would be unaware of its continued survival. Yet a very long time ago (I was a kid, in fact) a visit to the coast….. You assure me (city boy) of its existence yet?
At the very least the write provokes a very vivid memory, Neville.
Thanks.

The magic of morning, there\'s nothing else like it. The start of each day ,with cherished routines that give constancy and order to our lives. You have penned this so beautifully. Now I\'m thinking about my morning walk and the ritual of brewing my coffee, I can smell it even now. Thank you my friend!

What He Really, Really Wants
L. B. Mek said:
Amen!
may the universe
add my volition
to your prayers, weight
dear Empathetic poet
and heed our, desperation
to save
the children, please
if only you grant us, some
semblance of mercy
just
go easy on the children
give them, ALL
of them
a grace period, experience
of existence
where pain\'s tearstains
and hunger\'s hollow eyes
doesn\'t make-up
their pitiful, warped view of life...
dear Universe
Please!

Too bloody true on both a macro and a micro level. Controlled by the State, controlled by the necessity to gain enough wherewithal to eat and provide shelter, controlled by the arbitrary directions of a political party in power…..got me going this morning, Nev.
Thanks for that one.

You highlight the case of many a victim of controlled behaviour when over-run by those who think they know best for everyone. Much to ponder in this four liner our Nev.

This brought me to a passage my mother read to me growing up..
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.
Hebrews 4:13

A brief sketch of a much deeper truth there, only a hint of a whole complex relationship in less than congenial circumstances.
Provokes curiosity which I doubt you will satisfy, Neville.
