Very good write Mek, those snowflakes are totally individual as are we and both can bring beauty to our lives.

Never too late, to reflect
RDS said:

A great poem with deep reflections L. B. Yes a bully is fragile and sensitive. Commanding space because they fear the voices and conversations that might be heard. \"within regret...\" at the end leaves me wondering the many regrets wrapped in the situation you\'ve illustrated here. Thanks.

Like Michael I was never bullied at school but there was one boy there with a reputation for being a bully. Some years later he was working as a driver in the company where I too was working as an inspector, he had become one of the nicest and funniest people I knew. They can change.

I was never bullied at school but we did have a bully in my year. He died quite young - natural retribution. Super read.

This is surely the best letter that could be written to a goading bully - hoping its gentle but honest appeal will teach a few lessons - a fine piece of appeal my friend.

Bullies rarely change .. they might not be so active ... the reasons for this might be as individual as the bullies themselves .... an excellent and much needed plea......... well writ......................

Three good questions upon which to wisely ponder and one resounding answer. Though many a pebble may have known my footfall.

An incredible imagery-filled poem on what love means as time passes and with a last line that is so heart-stirringly beautiful Mek this has to go into my list of favourites.

Clarity of Remembrance within Gratitude
RDS said:

A beautiful and saddening history lesson wrapped in poetry. L. B.
Only having been on a while I find you masterful with evocative...phrases says too little about something more like meditations. Brutally emotive but in a way that\'s disturbing and equally attractive.

I\'ve made this one a favourite (only very recently found out how to do this!!) not just because I admired the actual work, but because the time and thought you put into your very detailed and considered responses were truly informative and in a class of their own.

I don\'t know quite how to thank you properly, L.B.

Goldfinch60 said:

The Native Americans were (and are) treated so badly, their lives and culture was destroyed and yet it is celebrated by those who \'won\'.
As d a has said \'History is written by the winners\' - but what if the losers were right.

Going to keep this short as I couldn\'t possibly articulate anything to measure up to that:
Here (you know where I am) same story. And still public policies and virulent prejudice wreak havoc on communities.

PS: I\'d vote reprieve and freedom for the turkey also.

I always felt it was sad that we’d let kids dress up as cowboys and native Americans and tell them stories of unity when it was the opposite. I suppose many believe ignorance is truly bliss.

My eyes too have been opened by this poetic outing of genocide and my heart goes out to those deprived of not only land but life in battles red as crimsoned guilt.

I have learnt so much from this page .. this prose and associated literature .. I knew first nation native american indians were badly treated but my eyes have since been opened wider ..

dusk arising said:

As a foreigner to your shores, one wonders if those native american peoples robbed of their heritage at threat of death and given third class station, also celebrate thanksgiving.

History is written bold by either the winner of a war, the powerful or the two combined. But there are other histories to read.

With a ball at their feet
Poetic Dan said:

Interesting read, I used to love to play with all my mates but sadly saw the other face!!

Was bullied and picked on for not supporting a team, at least each fight kept me keen... School of life created this dark & light, to see its all in the game... Most of the time humanity fluffs it up!

Thanks again for the inspirational thoughts, much peace and respect!

Not often I read poetry about the beautiful game and you do well to capture grace, strain and elation in your phrases. Thanks L. B.
