Remember Me She Said
L. B. Mek said:

a central, beautiful metaphor
anchoring
that alluring pace and poise
in your choice, wording
and drip-down, distilled wisdom
effect
in our reading of your poem, by design..
a comfort in a read, thank you!
you, at your subtle Best
dear Poet

For Ever Aint Never That Far Away
L. B. Mek said:

a thread of fate, separating
between, those
being born in a war zone
and those
being born in peaceful, moments..
Personally, I think the latter
is the crueller, fate
as we get to glimpse, a perhaps
of peace
that can never be sustained..
so from the beginning
of humanity\'s, fantastic Tales
and Cain and Abel\'s
inability to cohabitate, war
has ever
and I fear, will ever
exist, to remind us:
\'that here, now and forever
are not far away,\'
So we too, go-on
celebrating those heroes
who gifted us, a chance
and doing our Best
then simply let, Fate
judge the rest...
(just a such a poignant read
when you think
that so many, are living this reality
in the now, we lucky few
take for granted...)
Brilliant!
dear Poet, supreme
thank you!

a good luck charm, in a poem
never occurred to me
to imbue something tangible
in my scribbles
(an \'omamori\' in a poem)
as-ever
I read and learn, Hyung
thank you!

The happiness and glow
The sunflowers carry around
And the aura of positivity

But not one magpie on its own? \'One for sorrow, two for joy.....\'
Erm good wishes, maybe luck too, but I don\'t believe in it. lol.
You seen our black cat? Or the tabby one? We have two cats. Ahhh!
The black one said to me: \'Never mind if I cross your path or not for luck where\'s me grub?\' A talking cat now! lol

Wishing you well too )

And lovely poem . Magpies in twos are supposed to be a sign of good luck .. I’ve seen them in twos several times . Some people say seeing a black cat is bad luck but I’m not sure I believe that ..

\'look what you did
for the millionth time..
wrote down a few lines
and shared it, on-line
so now, you have me
going-off
surpassing my puny talents
limitations
making me dream
of that wannabe poet
I search for
with every coming, tide
of inspiration,
gifting me, a few more words
of scribbled, poesy\'s
presence, in my life..
thank you! Hyung
for reaffirming my status
as your loyal, Fan
what a corker of a write
dear Poet, supreme!\'
(wading
through our sea of despair
we realise
in that callous face of life\'s, strife
bravado
lacks meaningful spice
and so, all we\'re left with
is the veracity
of our yearning
and that despair
in our hopeless, reaching..
\'\'Lighthouse, shine
ever-bright
fend my journeys, path
to those arms of warmth
I dream of, between
every blink
and mourn for, in each
wishful, breath
of unrepented: surrender\'\')
