we seldom realise
how much history, walks into our life
mesmerised by that wink and smile
2023 and society\'s, scarlet badges
await to embarrass, stigmatise
those who choose to love bravely
different wording
a lot less, eye rolling
yet that archaic mindset, still exists
...
so yes indeed, wise poet:
\'Don’t think about her lovers
think about patience, charity and sunflowers ..\'
(this that part of your poetry
which champions humanity\'s
capacity for humane, empathy)
I read and learn Hyung

Yes there is a lingering thought as we age about what will happen to us.....during our lives most of us loved and lusted a lot....and how that affected them. I hope we can say the world is better off because we were here. x

I think sometimes during tribulations and hardships one must search for the light despite the hard times.
\"Butterflies and poetry\" pretty much sums up how I do just that :)

Rape of the Sabine Women
Natalie Gladmir said:
The motivation behind the abduction of the Sabine women is contested among ancient sources. Livy writes that Rome\'s motivation for abducting the Sabine women was solely to increase the city\'s population and claims that no direct sexual assault took place during the abduction. Livy says that Romulus offered the Sabine women free choice as well as civic and property rights. According to Livy, Romulus spoke to each of them in person, declaring \"that it was all owing to the pride of their parents in denying right of intermarriage to their neighbours. They would live in honourable wedlock, and share all their property and civil rights, and – dearest of all to human nature – would be the mothers of freemen.\"
What do you think about this historical analysis, dear author?

what can I say Hyung
I read and just started typing away
thanks for inspiring my humble scribble
such a relatable read, wonderful tone of sincerity
reinforcing the seriousness of the subject matter
(long, has it been since I too
questioned, my zeal
for that all-purpose, perfect-fit
solution
and so, eventually
I surrendered, my need
for square edges
to my, hopes and wishes
now I fish with blank pages
upon bleak ink\'s, cages
seeking merely a reasoning
to shed some meaning
all else, I surrender to fate
or universe or whatever gets
to decide
I merely, tiptoe the line
between living life
with one arm outside of half open
car windows
swaying, with the motorway winds
choosing my lane
and hoping, eventually it delivers me
somewhere near, my desired
destination)

More Than Nearly Dearly Departed

I mimic the shudder of our dear Fay
\'haunting\' to say the least
when i was younger, detective horror mysteries
were my reading genre of choice
till, I got older
and that fantastic premise, visited
my everyday
like that bone chilling, slap
of winter\'s winds
delivered, during Spring\'s
April shower, reality...
(laud the humanity and tenderness
aside the crass, matter of fact
hard-hitting, \'wake up call\' wording)
deftly executed, Hyung
just sad, such a write
will always be necessary
ALWAYS!

ha!
what a subtle flex of your poetic genius
intertwining, the analogy of a key battle
incorporating the decisive nature of the bow
and then tipping it all on its head
as commentary
on the foolish ego of those
too easily convinced
higher vantages
mean winning positions, in life...
(yeah, this is why I remain
a proud fan, dear cherished Poet)

This leaves so much to the readers imagination. All of the \"Who, What, When, Where, and Why\" questions go unanswered. The reader is free to construct the scene however they choose. To me it reads like a crime scene with the narrator as a detective, but I\'m probably incorrect. It can be so many different things. One cannot help feeling sad for her? or whatever is encompassed in your \"she\" describer. Makes one wonder, what is the rest of the story? - Phil A.

Loving the double usage of the word Bow here Nev. Inspired another angle for a story in my norty mind however - - - The decision to bow and kneel, Agincourt style, shows a modern-day lady to be often wily - - - best to steer clear of manipulation methinks my dear Sire - - -for guile maketh peeps. not very nice - -- of course there are other reasons for kneeling before lusty males or maybe that\'s going too far !! ............x
