Unreasonable Logic

Hello my friend. I read the first stanza and thought only an idiot would think that way. Then I read the rest and had a very interesting conversation with my grandson who shared his thoughts on your poem. There are many ways in showing strength, a man with his finger on the button has none. And men who cry have a mountain of compassion. So much here in one little poem. Have a great day.

I am not ashamed to admit how I wish I could have written something like that. I don\'t think anything else is necessary to express my appreciation

This poem resonates - ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of unreasonable logic. . What starts out as hope soon becomes finessed into a hegemony of temptation, leaving only a sense of dread and the possibility of a new beginning.

Thanks for challenging the restrictive norms of masculinity and the irrational behaviors people exhibit to conform to them. The poem’s critique of the suppression of emotions and the societal admiration of the \"broken man\" while highlighting the destructive impact of these behaviours. I think the term in vogue is “toxic masculinity,” or some such fancy phrase. Thanks for encouraging a more compassionate understanding of oneself and others, emphasizing the importance of emotional honesty and healing. That’s a world where we can all be truly men in our own skin!

Brilliant!!! An unconventional view of convention. Masculinity in its weakest form. When one is too rigid, one becomes brittle. A wonderful write Neville

Controlling others is far more self-validating than ….
I’d pop that over the portals of one or two….wallopers I\'ve encountered during a long life...

I\'m not good at unfolding meanings of cryptic poems. The reply from the poet may be: \'No, I didn\'t mean that at all!\'. KP\'s howling at the moon - she\'s half-werewolf. A werewolf with botox. lol.

That’s a speech I need to memorize and utilize because it said there’s no disguise when you hit a certain point it’s like smoking a bad joy who needs the next one and you don’t really want your mind altered. Do you want to see it and this is perfect thank you.

It hits a bit softer when it is mutual, and a lot harder when it is just one calling it the end. The tone of this poem is of a pretentious voice of someone really and truly hurt by the breakup. I liked how it opened and closed on the words, \"Kid\' and \"Kidding.\" It\'s as if the speaker is doing the pretending. - Phil A.

Ooh! Michael Drayton\'s lines come again to the fore, yet with a lovely 21st century twist. [https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-9250] La, seems it\'s been ages since I read that one and now--! Beautifully rendered with excellent humor and that classic subtly haunting poignancy, I love it! Thank you for sharing.

Neville this poem speaks to the heart. I have felt these feelings before myself. So nicely composed in the form of a letter speaking to the other party. The format of it makes it so personal and here are feelings that many of us have sensed at one time or another.

Loved the poem. Sounds very true, although hits very hard at our double standard. A while back I wrote something and got aptly chastised. It\'s similar to what you have aluded to

Kindness and Absent Friends
NafisaSB said:
kindness is so necessary, and yet people bypass it though it would make a world of a difference to the recipient - poem 1 gets an \'A+\'
winter can be harsh or pleasant, but with the recent global warming proceeding at such a fast pace, i wonder how long it will be before it\'s just a memory

Haha, you\'re a regular riot with this! Ah, but reminds me of too many things which aren\'t so humorous. I\'ll leave it at that. Charmingly rendered with perfect imagery and excellent good humor, not to mention a subtle poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

It begs the question, if the roles were reversed, how would you feel about it then? The contrast from your many other writings kind of shocked me, but it is good to lay it all out there and stir some debate. I for one think slavery and servitude are abominations. We are all equal in the eyes of God (most of them) and under the law (of some countries), but we know we don\'t all exist equally. You never hear who\'s on the X, Y, and Z lists. Politics of the world as it is, your thoughts may be coming the reality, if any of us survive. - Phil A.

There is a reversing of thinking on many fronts and the drumbeat is gaining intents its and momentum. Bourgeoisie is dead and so is the middle class ailing, we’ve all been hammered down to wage slaves, hired hands and glorified paupers… we’ll see what comes next, it may not be too far away… we’d be well retired from productive years by then.
