As for fashion: My Father\'s demobbed Suit will last me a few more years yet.
A lot on the Cat- Walk are dressed like Mad Parrots anyway.

Never had an interest in fashion or how it looks on others. Never did understand that. Now, my fashion and how it looks on me...very important! 🤣 Most importantly, though, one goes out clothed. 😱🤣 Great job, my friend. 🌹👏

There’s a delightfully anarchic spirit to both the poem and its note—half jab, half shrug. The poem itself is razor-trim and winks toward cultural upheaval: a four-line tumble from polite curiosity to icon-toppling guillotine fantasy. With just a whiff of Lewis Carroll and a side-eye to Anna Wintour, it pokes at the cult of style and the arbiters who helm it. Fashion, in this view, becomes a punchline in a world distracted by surfaces, a gloss painted thick over the absurdities of modern living. And yet there’s a strange sincerity too, hidden beneath the sarcasm: a real questioning of what we idolise and why. An enjoyable satire and confession combo.

You made me think, Dave. Thanks.
“Irreverent crap” the whole of the universe is Irreverent crap. It cannot be happening, but it is.
BANG — here it is—rages on for a few billion years and POOF, gone. But. Wait, NO. It has no beginning. And no end. Good, write, Dave.

Just another excuse to screw a few more quid out of the sheep who have been instructed that they will not survive in the world without it. Also one of the most damaging products to the environment and extensively they are made for pennies by forced labour and children. Nicely expressed and written

Don\'t know too much about that Dave I pay little attention to fashion. I see it as social pressure by a capitalistic society to make more money by getting you to buy new cloths when you don\'t need them. Well done Dave

Indeed. Feel free! Love this, Dave! Now, for that poem about a 🌳...🤣. Nobody really likes being lectured, so I presume many people are going to relate to this sentiment. I certainly did! Freedom of expression is the way to go. What I don\'t get isn\'\'t meant for me, but it is meant for somebody...even if only for the creator. But I have yet to see the lonely creator scenario really play out. Someone always finds value in another\'s art. Anywho, there I go with a damn lecture. So...ehem...Well done, sir! 🌹👏

Oh, I quite like the mischievous shrug in your poem—half declaration, half escape hatch. It rolls its eyes at poetic pretension while winking slyly at the reader.

Damn no lecture then. That\'s ok Dave I don\'t like lectures either and hate being told what to do. Seems like poetry is the only place I can (freely?) express myself. Fun read Dave

Some people really want kids and go through expensive treatments to have them. But the poet voice wonders why is having children treated as life’s biggest goal? There’s so much more to life than just reproducing. They point out that many people keep having kids, even during hard times, without thinking twice. But the poetic voice isn’t judging everyone; just asking people who can choose to think twice. If having kids doesn’t come naturally, maybe that’s okay. Maybe it’s something to accept, not “fix.” In a crowded world, we might need less pressure to have more people. Maybe it’s more about money and pressure than true need.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

There are really good reasons to have children and really bad reasons. Doing so because one feels they have to or that their lives are a waste if they don\'t, are really bad reasons. So is doing so because one billionaire, or all of them, tell you to...or because some religious leader tells you to. Bad reasons. You are spot on, my friend. A must fave for the truth alone! 👏🌹

There is no need for any form of IVF, there are more than enough children or babies out there to be fostered or adopted and in need of a loving home , a very interesting and no doubt thought provoking write, enjoyed the read

Tend to agree Dave too many people. But then that gets down to which ones are the too many? Don\'t want to leave that up to any world leader. It seems that the poorest are the ones with the most and maybe that is mother nature telling us that we are a dead end on the evolutionary tree. Man\'s attempt at IVF is another attempt at fighting mother nature and we all know how that fight works out. My money is on mother nature. Good write my friend

I can understand it for a couple who struggle to have children but to just do it because you can is shameful. Fine words Dave.

Come on - depletion of resources, the environment, climate change, overpopulation.... anyway, let all that lie. Great of you to be so prompt in support, Missy.
Yeh - thanks for reminding me of surrogacy. The issues which prompted this were as far as I can tell, fertilized eggs being popped into the wrong mother....I see an element of creepiness in the whole damn thing too.
Thanks once more for the support.

Cheeky Missy said:

You, and some other charming fellows I know and dearly love--what\'s with your claim the world is \"overpopulated\"?! Come again?! Not like I\'m guilty anywho. Yes, surrogacy is the trendiest thing on the marriage scene, seems. But, dang! I can still remember the court battles over \"Baby--\" whose birth mother claimed him for herself despite being only the surrogate. I begin to think the issue is not so much more or less people, but something far more creepy. Beautifully rendered diatribe, complete with excellent imagery and a weirdly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Good one Dave. The news is horrendous these days. Commentators just do their jobs, it\'s who writes the script and who owns the media outlet. Mostly the very rich. As to social justice, well the millionaires love it the way it is. It\'s a dark shadow overlooking humanity as spelled out in your 4 lines. Try hard to enjoy the sunlight, - Phil A.

Well, you’re curiosity is still intact, but what’s to be curious of when you already know the bullshit that will be spewed. So, I call this a graduation to selective curiosity and an ability to turn out what’s not worth being curious of. Idk. Or, not. 🤷‍♂️😂 But, I will say this Dave: right there with you on this! 🌹👏 Great job!!!

There isn\'t a concept of altruism and justice in this dissociative and self-centred motley gathering. Of course there are pockets of social groupings and justice dealings. But it is not the norm nor the majority. I feel this write. 🙏🏻🕊️

Do I detect a bit of cynicism regarding the media? What ever gave you that idea? Fun read Dave I tend to think there are more people that the media think feel that way.
