An Uncertain Certainty
Doggerel Dave said:
My own Uncertain Certainty -
\"I really like old guys\", she said.
Minuscule pause followed by an encouraging response seasoned with a smattering of caution:
\"Oh yes?\" I said.

\"contagious self-doubt,\" caught from getting too close? Would loving her less reduce the risk?

In matters of the heart it seems, the head grapples with emotion and a choice is made, always hoping it\'s the right one. Good write my friend!

lovely shorty Hyung
I couldn\'t help but try and scribble a little reply
(boldly, we dive
\'Hope\' first, trepidation
pulsing, in each
stuttering breath and yet
still, managing a smile
knowing
this, is as magical as life gets...)

Rape of the Sabine Women
L. B. Mek said:
how Brave!
before, ever
we try to contemplate
just how depraved our hu\'man\' inheritance
as existence, is
we must first, look-up
the etymology of the word, \'Havoc\'
its very existence in modernity\'s vocabulary
and its very meaning to all the victims, it encapsulates
before
the word, ever existed even
far, far back
to Euripides and \'The Trojan Women\'
or
the very tragedies and horrific acts
being carried out
on those \'battlefields\' of Ukraine,
and all the wars around the world,
this very minute...
(were I a man, gifted
the wisdom of genuine empathy
how, dare i look upon the rage
and justified wrath of a lady
without being singed
by the very pain, boiling
in her pulsing DNA of inherited suffering)

reading these delicate words
as a window to society\'s callous indecencies
I couldn\'t help but be transported
to when first reading
the Funeral of the Elder Zosima
in \'The brothers karamazov\'
(I have nothing more I can add
to either praise or acutely relate
how much I enjoyed reading this poem, Hyung
your poetic subtlety at its, most
intoxicating Best!)

Something More Than Just Skin Deep
L. B. Mek said:
Spencer\'s legacy breathes
within these very lines
even in our loveless Time!
(Amoretti, I: Happy ye leaves when as those lilly lands
by by the great, Edmund Spencer:
\'Happy ye leaves when as those lilly hands,
Which hold my life in their dead doing might
Shall handle you and hold in loves soft bands,
Lyke captives trembling at the victors sight.
And happy lines, on which with starry light,
Those lamping eyes will deigne sometimes to look
And reade the sorrowes of my dying spright,
Written with teares in harts close bleeding book.
And happy rymes bath’d in the sacred brooke,
Of Helicon whence she derived is,
When ye behold that Angels blessed looke,
My soules long lacked foode, my heavens blis.
Leaves, lines, and rymes, seeke her to please alone,
Whom if ye please, I care for other none.)
simply Brilliant! dear Poet supreme
forgive me
for pasting Spencer\'s poem
on your page,
I just wanted you to be aware
of how unquestionably, favourable
your poetry
compares to those of the great poet\'s in history
(at least in my humble opinion)
thank you! what a treat
(this must be the prelude
to \'Something more than just a Flutter\'
I had the line:
\'Just like some Hapless
moth, perchance ..\'
running through my mind for days now)
lol
I sound like such a pathetic geek
oh well
try as I might, I can only be what I am...

Rape of the Sabine Women
MendedFences27 said:
Mythologically, this could be a scene between Jupiter and Terra Mater with Jupiter appalled by the actions of the Romans. As written, I see it as an encounter between a Roman soldier and a Sabine woman. What followed were years of many wars and expansion of the Roman Empire. In today\'s parlance it is an example of sexual harassment of women. Will it ever be otherwise? A real eye-opener this one. - Phil A.

Outrageously kidnaped and then often raped these women raised the hackles of many a painter or writer and gave Roman soldiers a history of eternal shame that others have unfortunately followed time and again since then..... oooh am on my soapbox after reading your vivid pen-painting of those Sabine victims. Romulus had a lot to answer for methinks amigo eh ?..............x

A Sure Sign of His Passing
MendedFences27 said:
A \"cold,\" \"empty and bare,\" home \"a sure sign of his passing\" - these lines
indicate to me that he \"passed\" a long time ago. No longer recognizable as human. A most unfortunate and unhappy person, despised by all who knew him. Makes one wonder why. What destroyed this creature? What events in his life brought him to this miserable end? No sympathy though, we are all tested disproportionately, and some do not survive. - Phil A.

Good question, Nev. Ofttimes it more than determines your own path way in life (although there can be a refusal admit to that). And of course, there are exceptions.......
