this poem is so typically \'you\' - but i feel truth is not lost - it shines out from every poet\'s mind through their poems - how the viewer reads and understands it is from their viewpoint and may or may not be in line with what the poet tries to convey -

Dave, yeah…there’s a kind of weary truth in this. The mechanisms exist, everyone knows they exist, but action just keeps getting pushed off. Then when it finally catches up, it’s messy and reactive instead of deliberate. Your outside perspective actually sharpens that point. Strong piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Since they have utterly failed to uphold the 2nd amendment, why give a hoot for additional bits of foolishness? It\'s all bunk.

\"Apr 12th (11:00) Doggerel Dave has a trending poem Age?\"
The swiftest trend I have ever experienced - Gone and no time to celebrate (observed several hours ago but had other live pressing demands).

Pretty sure these words could be sung here to a familiar Tina Turner song: “What’s age got to do with it.” 😂 Well said, my friend. Well said.

Now Dave the reason I don\'t do many Haikus. This poetic format should be even more complex than what most judge. A few traditional requirements that most neglect:
Structure: Three lines totaling 17 syllables, usually organized in a 5, 7, 5 pattern.
Theme: Traditionally focuses on nature, the seasons, or a specific, fleeting moment.
Kigo (Season Word): A word or phrase that hints at the season, grounding the poem in nature.
Kireji (Cutting Word): A pause or break in the poem, usually in the middle, created by punctuation (like an em dash or ellipsis) to create contrast or juxtaposition.
Imagery: Uses clear, simple imagery rather than complex metaphors or rhyme.
Economy: The poem should be concise, ideally read in one breath.

It takes all of about 23 seconds to read some of my poems on NS themes. Why do people waste those seconds reading garbage?! lol.

Dave, this feels like those moments where you read something and know immediately it’s all surface…crafted (possibly) to sound right but missing something underneath. That frustration comes through clearly here, and it’s certainly easy to relate to. It hits a nerve for a reason. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

If this old head is catching the gist of this there are poems and there are rhymes and the two are not necessarily the same. Poetry from the gut with feeling and rhyme from the head with not so much emotion. Ah hell Dave I thought I had it now I\'m just rambling. You got me going anyway

Your style of writing really intrigues me - your level of knowledge surrounding whatever you choose to write about at the time is evident, and your passion is clear. In addition, some of your language (i.e. \"bum\") adds a certain levity that could both be interpreted as a very deep optimistic centre, or a nihilistic cynic just \'laying it all down\'. Very interesting & engaging. ☺️

I was surprised by how impactful this was - the ambiguity in regards to the context makes it pliable to the readers current concerns. An excellent haiku, the time making it even more remarkable!
