LOL! I guess we could say that poor old Kay was one to avoid that day! Great limerick, my friend! 🤣

There once was a dog with the flu
Who coughed all over dear sue
She covered it\'s mouth
as her bra went south
they both ended up in the loo
Ha ha I\'m the worst at Limerick but I do love them.

And a Pot Belly Laugh
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Melvin, this is dense, unsettling, and fiercely embodied. Land, water, faith, and flesh are braided until none can be separated without damage. The poem doesn’t explain its vision…it performs it. Powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Teddy.15 said:
I feel a strong sense of using our lives to live whilst we can. A great London saying I will always keep is (you\'re a longtime dead) maybe we should focus on the beauty instead of the negative. Melvin my dear friend, you got me reflecting. Poetic and beautiful. 🌹

Under A Net Of Kisses
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Melvin, this feels immersive…like being pulled under and held there by sound and sensation. The poem moves in waves, not lines, and it carries a strange, hypnotic calm even when the imagery turns raw. Compelling work, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This drifts like smoke over warm skin—wild, unafraid, and tenderly dangerous.
Your words swim, shimmer, and bite all at once; gritty, alive, and strangely kind.

Nicely said. Your poem explores themes of love, connection, and the passage of time, juxtaposed with the natural world. It presents a romanticized vision of intimacy and the transient nature of experiences, suggesting that love is both a refuge and a complex, sometimes overwhelming force.

The World Is All But One Mile High
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Melvin, this poem unfolds like a grim procession. Nature, memory, and modernity collapse into a single pantomime where harm masquerades as order. The closing image is chilling…sleep enforced, not earned. A stark, uncompromising piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Honey and Cigarettes
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Melvin, this poem moves like a fevered liturgy. Images of devotion, decay, and patience blur into something deeply human and uneasy. The repetition, the sensory weight, the quiet plea beneath it all…it creates a powerful, lingering presence. A compelling piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A disintegrating world whether by man\'s hand or that of time it is bleak and dark and shows no promise of renewal. Destroyed for man it remains but a cinder a burnt out clinker in the oven of time. Very dark Melvin but all too true

The World Is All But One Mile High
Friendship said:
A sorrowful and dark poem. Your poem presents a surreal and dystopian vision of the world, exploring themes of loss, childhood innocence, and existential despair. It conveys a sense of entrapment in a reality where nature is juxtaposed with human-made structures and societal constraints. The imagery suggests a world that has lost its vitality and connection to its origins, resulting in a bleak existence marked by silence and despair.

Old men counting fingers stained with nicotine and glue, what have they been up to? High on that model glue again this does seem a fever dream yet most prophesies do. Modern scripture with that new god between the ceiling and the sky, must be those fumes again. Turn on the ceiling fan. Wow Melvin you have done it to me. Checking the clock its 2:00 AM. Good one my friend

Honey and Cigarettes
Friendship said:
You had me thinking. Well done. Your poem \"Honey and Cigarettes\" revolves around the juxtaposition of life and death, hope and despair, and the human experience intertwined with the mundane and the profound. The imagery suggests a struggle between spiritual yearning and the harsh realities of existence, as seen through the lens of prayer, loss, and the cyclical nature of life. There is a sense of longing for connection and understanding amid chaos and coldness, underscored by the recurring motif of “2 am,” symbolizing a time of introspection, uncertainty, and vulnerability.

My dear Melvin, first of all I love your title, your imagery is some of the best I\'ve seen in your poetry,. Under the bridge? that reminded me of my friend who had a liquid test run through her body and it was radioactive, a test for the big C, so we couldn\'t see her for a few days. My gut tells me this one is very dark, how poetically talented you are as always, inspiring and emotionally connected to your readers always🌹

Melvin, the refrain of “cold as beer in a never ending song” anchors the chaos beautifully. It gives the whole piece a weary pulse that keeps returning. Well done, dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Where Hides My Fallen Autumn Leaves
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Melvin, this reads like a ruminative chant where memory, desire, culture, and absurdity collide. It’s chaotic but intentional, curious without apology, and held together by a voice that trusts its own momentum. Strange, provocative, and compelling. Which translates to...I absolutely love it! Well done, my friend, as always! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your mind runs wild and untamed, a forest of thought where nothing polite survives. I felt the autumn leaves fall right onto my chest.

Walk Me Home

Melvin, this is feral and unfiltered. It moves like memory without brakes, refusing comfort and refusing apology. The voice feels lived in, scarred, and utterly its own. Fantastic write, as always. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It seems that there is always something lacking in this poem of strange combinations just as the world is full of strange combinations and life itself as well as time. A somewhat sad tone to the poem in that it seemed that something was always awry

Well, I rather fear my folly in daring to read this invocation aloud, the damning nature thereof too evident. You take me back to high-school and having to listen to Shakespeare\'s Macbeth intoned, the witches\' brew not able to hold a candle to yours. La dee dah. Beautifully rendered with exquisite imagery and a most frightening poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
