Dave, this has such a fun swagger to it…that polished image built up line by line, then undone with “north and south” in a way that’s both sharp and funny. It’s playful, but grounded in something real. Great piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I am assuming you\'re overdressed but your cockney charm wins anyway.

Clever wording Dave and yes I have heard that term used before of north and south, I always wondered why not east and west but I guess that is because tradition assumes that we are always headed east into the rising sun or west into the setting sun, but what do I know. A short write my friend but one that sets the mind to wonder. Do cloths make the man with that hat and cane. Enjoyed it and its rhyming \"At\'s\"

It’s good that they make only one visit and then disappear- you are lucky bcos in India both are thriving for sure.
Enjoy the respite whether climate change caused it or they found other victims to bother🤔😱🤐

Short and sharp—like a truth muttered over cheap whiskey while the rich keep dealing the cards.
You’ve got the grit to say what most folks know but are too polite to spit out loud.

I am happy for you. I did noticed Bunnings have shelves with rows of poison for killing everything.
Climate change, or whatever.. be thankful for today, would be my 2 cents worth.

Man versus the bugs—twenty years in the trenches and still swatting like a stubborn survivor.
Funny, gritty, and honest; sometimes the whole war of life really does come down to what’s crawling across the floor.

Dave, this reminded me of how every home seems to have its own strange seasonal battles with nature. One year it’s mosquitoes, another year it’s something else entirely…then suddenly they vanish and you’re left wondering why. You capture that everyday absurdity really well here. Fun piece, my friend. And yes, climate change has more than begun to bite! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Things change all the time Dave and we must learn to deal with that change, hopefully in this case the change is for the good.

Well Dave enjoyed the poem, it gave me a smile. I too have not seen many mosquitos this year and very few roaches (maybe due to keeping all food in canisters and jars) but have had an invasion of house flies, nasty little buggers. Have to eat with a swatter in one hand and fork in the other. Good write my friend

“What’s Love Got to Do With It”

lust is often mistaken for love until one realizes that just physical intimacy does not make for true love..you have made the division between the two obvious for all...

I love the way this reads like a cosmic interview—calm, absurd, and a little unnerving.
There’s humor and weight here, the kind that sneaks up on you while asking big questions.

Great work Dave. Lust alone doesn’t write the story—love sneaks in where bodies cannot.
Control falters; the heart bends rules the mind never will.

When people want to be vague about an issue they use ‘we’ instead of me. They feel secure in their position and no further thought is warranted or wasted
Is this what you wanted to convey or am I completely off track🤔😱🤐

“What’s Love Got to Do With It”
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, this made me think about how often people assume love and physical desire must always travel together. Your poem pushes back on that assumption with blunt clarity. Sometimes they align, sometimes they do not… and society has always tried to dictate how that should look. The closing line says it plainly. “With those whom lust did not fit like a glove.” Thought-provoking work, as always, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
