Comments received on poems by Chris Duffy
The mirror and the wall.
L. B. Mek said:
\'Because talking to the mirror, beats talking to the wall.\'
\'So I\'ll talk to the mirror, and you talk to the wall.\'
\'He\'s talking to the mirror and he\'s talking to the wall.\'
\'The man talking in the mirror, while I\'m talking to the wall.\'
\'I\'ll be home. Not talking to the mirror, or talking to the wall.\'
\'There was a place I used to dwell, before I met this living hell
there was a man I used to see, now i\'m not sure which one is me
And in the place I used to thrive, when mind and soul where both alive
I\'m trying hard to recognize, I see them both through tired eyes.
I just remembered who they were, then suddenly it\'s all a blur
They re friends, I like to call.................
Him talking in the mirror, and him talking to the wall.\'..
(these words, you\'ve penned to showcase
that geometrical - multiplicative, graduation method
of Introspection, yielded acceptance
of that Self, we mostly spend our lives
hiding-from and repressing...)
a brave and meaningful write/message, dear poet
thank you for sharing

\'Note the twenty years immediately above.....Must then mean that most holds true.
Good for you Chris - don\'t minimize your part in that. Took more than \'hope\'.
For..many.. it.. doesn\'t quite.. work .. out..like .. that.

Though my dog\'s not half as bright, I\'m glad he speaks the truth;
Otherwise, when good crooks arrive, I\'d think they\'re friends, forsooth!

I\'ve heard some shaggy dog stories in my time, Chris.......Top notch and even if the Lab isn\'t particularly unkempt, the yarn certainly is.
Thanks for the laugh.

Chris - You\'ve gone very dark all of a sudden.
So sorry - but I must ask: is this your\'s or another\'s experience? You appear to know your subject intimately.

Doggerel Dave said:
My kind of verse Chris- even if it\'s teensy weensy, ever so slightly ageist: but I\'ll not be holding that against yer. Me and my PC have been together now for fifteen years, and while the relationship was a bit rocky to begin with, it has settled down and is quite harmonious now.....

Fraudulent Transactions.
L. B. Mek said:
really like the playfulness in your tone
that\'s the only way to overcome, such draining
and monotones hustles, that harass indiscriminately
although, it\'s important - to note
exactly how this criminals get our details
in the first place..
the black market for peoples data, is a global pandemic
we need to address immediately, and its an easy fix
but sadly, its also profitable
and a non traceable earning opportunity
for those corrupt companies and public officials, we intrust
to keep our data safe...
an important write and a fun read, thanks for sharing
