The Mess They Leave Behind
Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose) said:

That’s really sad … (( has to be difficult to hear that type of news .

Some people are so depressed that they think there is no other option ..

I guess the guy should have stayed and not left her alone

Emotive words Neville, I am so fortunate that in my long life I have never seen anything like this happen. I am so grateful.

A gruesome thing to witness. By penning this poem maybe some will take heed, or at least pay attention while playing.
Your poem is short and to the point. and graphic enough to leave a lasting impression. A good one. - Phil A.

yeah, I\'ve totalled a few cars in my past

So Very Roughly Taken
L. B. Mek said:

all abusers and rapist\'s
should have the words
\'deserved it\' and a mini skirt
tattooed on their foreheads for life
so everyone can understand
how depraved and ignorant
that thought process, truly is!
(an important write Hyung
and yes, our gender has a long
way
to go, before we can begin
to comprehend the collective depths
of our generational crimes)
still, we who acknowledge
and wage a war, against
that societal monster we know too well
must believe in a better
and do what we can
hoping, somehow
it may accumulate to being enough
to offset what evil is committed
by the weak, spineless men of the world

A Very Temporary Arrangement
L. B. Mek said:

if love is falling deep
then be thankful for our fear
of falling
keeping us from being head over heels
for every person we\'re attracted to
theirs just not enough rope in the world
to pull ourselves
out of those pits we dig, time n again..
(far too many of us scarred by love will relate I think, Hyung)
wonderfully paced

Can ya beat cheese, like you can beat an egg? It\'s getting late in the day - causes me to utter more nonsense than usual! lol.

No thrills at all here you say it like it is and unfortunately in your incredible line of work darling Nev, you see this all too often, it\'s people like you who are 100% selfless to take the time to help others and I can only speak as 1 woman but I say thank you a thousand times. 💓

Those last four lines paint the picture.

I bought KP a cheesecloth - dress? Nope, a bit of material to put on wooden chopping board when chopping cheese! So the chopping board does not get damaged. I thought more about the chopping board than of her. lol.

When a Diet Does a Fat Lot of Good

So many people have eating problems, I am very fortunate in that I will eat anything place in front of me but not overeat.

Yes, when you finally realize that she\'s not the one for you. That something is just not right. No matter what happens next, someone will be hurt. Unless she truly does \"understand\" and then maybe she is the one for you, - Phil A.

Denying love lol so very clever my dear Nev. Love the thought of a lover pretending it\'s not true knowing that it\'s probably the greatest love of all ❤️

erm, one less glass

capable of grouping words...
(my 2 cents worth
if it helps
well, erm

I just ........t)

When a Diet Does a Fat Lot of Good
L. B. Mek said:

so true Hyung, gotta find a way
to laugh about it
sadly, having experiencing it
close up
has changed my perspective
these days, I see anyone who survives an eating disorder
as a genuine hero
that vicious cycle of psychological
and physical, toxic self comparisons
is so hard to break
just like most debilitating addictions
25 years sober, is no guarantee
this is a war they have to fight
all their lives
only without diabetes injections
to support their weaknesses
one slip, and it all starts again
horrid, horrid plague for a person
to try and overcome
they\'re all heroes in my book
and those helping them
tantamount to saints
they both need so much empathetic stamina..



July 14th, 2023 03:59

Seriously Wronged
L. B. Mek said:

I don\'t know, Hyung
lately
I\'ve been thinking these lady\'s
know exactly what they\'re doing
it\'s the fools
that fall for the thirsty silvers
while surrendering their ticket
to heaven on earth..
(stats on single men and ladies
is so off kilter
I gotta think there\'s some design
at play?
but what do I know, lol)
acute commentary and timely, a great shorty

By Definition Only
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
(perception as a conduit to our volition
so often, we\'re pushed
to look the other way, acting ignorant
so we can avoid reprisals
living like we\'re on a rotary of fate
knowing eventually
we\'ll soon be facing life\'s heat
strife as all we scope
sunglasses at night, heads lowered
masked like we\'re thieving
each breath
but some, brave enough like you
dear Poet supreme
ink with passion to remind us, that
its never too late
to traverse life, staring down the bul sht
and seeing things for what they are
allowing our choices
to be more than automated outputs
for all the sht they cram
down our eyes and ears, every day
of this endless fight
we named, a life...)
