Oh no, not reality…
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, I connect with that feeling of looking around and thinking, surely somebody somewhere has to be seeing this clearly. Sometimes the strangest part is who ends up sounding grounded. Enjoyed this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

How true. I never thought I would see the day when Iran made more sense than the U.S. or maybe Trump just has a bad PR man.

It\'s like John Lennon said in the Song: \'Gimme some truth\'. We are fed a diet of B.S. I hear what you are saying.
And what\'s that old saying? \'Red Sky at Night, Europes alight\'.

Haha, Dave...with the author’s note, this becomes less manifesto and more diagnostic tap on the microphone. A little moan, a little mischief, and proof that the machine is alive again. Glad your PC made it back from the dead, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I read you Dave and have to say that the piece struck a chord. I have been robbed too many times and would join Robin Hood if I could find him.

Prithee, I\'m lazy... what\'s a \"sovereign citizen\"? Last I recall, it seemed to be the claim from individuals who refused to obey the laws of the land. The instances illustrating encounters never but showed rebellious idiots. Lovely mono-rhyme quartrain of sorts. Thank you for sharing.

The Year Was 1955
Thomas W Case said:
This has that great mix of immigrant culture shock, childhood embarrassment, and the kind of humor that only gets funnier with distance. The final line lands beautifully because all that old shame gets punctured by a neighbor’s wonderfully blunt, ordinary truth.

Well…damn…Dave, how the hell did I miss this one? The irony is not lost on me! 😂 You perfectly capture the guilt, resentment, and relentless self-questioning involved in trying to participate generously in a creative community. Brilliantly relatable, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thomas W Case said:
Excellent work, Dave. This poem uses a sharp, compact voice to explore power, authority, and the fears that come with unchecked rule. The wordplay gives it a satirical edge, inviting the reader to think about leadership and the limits placed upon it.

To Demar Desu (immediately above):
Thanks for your slightly overheated endorsement. I unblocked you because I don\'t hold grudges forever, and hoped that you may have matured slightly after our previous encounter. However, little change is apparent here.
You chose to keep me blocked while encroaching on my space (no reply button available) which casts me as rude for \'ignoring\' you.
It seems that a recalcitrant such as you will never improve.
A further block is indicated.

New Poet?
Thomas W Case said:
I agree Dave. This poem offers a thoughtful reflection on the quiet corners of a poetry community and the connections we sometimes overlook. I appreciate the honesty and gentle reminder that every writer here is a person hoping to share a piece of themselves.

Happy End.
Thomas W Case said:
A funny little twist of affection and absurdity, where comfort becomes a strange kind of love letter to the ordinary things we overlook.
You take a simple object and give it a heartbeat, reminding us that attachment can grow in the strangest corners of life.

Blackout – Subsequent Moments.
Cheeky Missy said:
Fascinating. So, if I get you then you\'re saying a blackout put you in the care of the pretty porcelain MD? I\'ve been dealing with that lately and it\'s not cool. Glad you\'re finally doing well with a good bill of health? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Back in 2010 when I first began on this site it had a much smaller user base and I used to try to be kind to everyone and read and comment on their posts for the day. But there were so few users, it was dreadfully dull. I finally left the site for more active ones. It\'s up to you if you want to leave comments on everyone\'s work. I\'ve lost my appetite for that and don\'t feel guilty. But that\'s me.

Yet Another Grunt...
Thomas W Case said:
You old softy. lol A poet taking a swing at the mirror, questioning the craft and the crowd around it.
Rough edges and honest frustration—sometimes the sharpest words come from caring.

Some feel they must be read, but they don\'t feel you must be read, which can be bloody irritating.
Some say they\'re up for critique but block you when you give them some.
All in all, you take something from every poet and write a poem.
