The Afterlife – A Case Study
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Great write Doggerel. Light enough to remind me of the great, all time classic “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis. A brilliant, contemporary American author to read regarding what heaven may be like (where faith and hope inform) is Dr. Peter Kreeft. Finally, and your wonderful write spurred this flow, I like American Bishop Robert Barron’s reply to Canadian Dr. Jordan Peterson that, according to the monotheist traditions of one God - the flames in Hell itself are part of His creation as He has created it All (Hell being freely chosen by its inhabitants and merely a privation of the Ultimate Good - eternity with One God).

Finale
Gary Edward Geraci said:
In addition to the Catholic intelectual tradition among Catholic Christians worldwide, I love the great traditions of the Sacraments and Holy Mass. Granted, I was away from the Church for nearly 30 years and reluctant to engage with anyone that proclaimed to be religious and so I feel like I know where you’re coming from. This is a superb write with a fantastic cadence to it ... my favorite type of poem to read as well ... one that explores the deepest questions concerning our very meaning or in the case of nihilism - no meaning what-so-ever. When you ask this question, even to an atheist, nearly all will respond in the affirmative: wouldn’t you want there to be an afterlife so that you could meet your loved ones again after your departure from this life?

Neville said:
Your poem accurately reflects the oft but almost always negatively tainted and heavily weighted prejudiced and ill informed assumptions made about people displaying signs of severe mental illness .. In reality, your authors note is spot on .. particularly the last sentence ..
I used to travel up and down the UK facilitating workshops that were specifically designed with the intention of trying to address this imbalance ..
Bravo DD

Very powerful write Dave.
The problem with the news is that we always here the 1% bad side of events not the 99% good side - the good does not make the news.

The Toilet Seat
Accidental Poet said:
On the insistence by the ladies that we men always put the lid back down after use, and that not all men raise the lid to pee to begin with (disgusting), I thought maybe the ladies should be happy to see that the lid was raised. Never the less, ALWAYS wipe the seat.

\"We aim to please - will you aim too please!\"
Presumably aimed at gentlemen only!

Aargh! Black Bart!
\"Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!\"
He was quite a character as many of his men were freed slaves who, when he was killed were taken back into slavery.

No Charlie I am not suggesting you need to ‘do some work on yourself’. That contraption looks particularly hazardous; you should take care that it doesn’t leave you hanging.

And Jack the Lad (q.v.) has teamed up with a pair of criminal pranksters (read fraudsters, con men)…. This was his apprentice piece. Apparently they form a good team. However he is now silent. When or if he resurfaces and starts to talk again I’ll let you know….
