Nice rhythmic flow and humour that dampened my eyes
If I may offer suggestion suit within doesn\'t sound right because it is without
wearing a shell that fits him
adds to the absurdity of searching
and wearing a suit that fits blends one in as does a tortoise\'s shell
What do you think?

such a well written story with a tragic ending
I\'m sure this plays a role on why so
many people off themselves during
the worst of pandemic so sad, they simply
cannot figure out the slopes of life.....

\'Remember
when we were kids” he said
“Taking chances
whilst admiring glances
made those endless evenings
full of fun.
We didn’t know our lives had just begun,”
“But life is full of obstacles,” he sighed,
“ They stop you getting to the other side.”
You simply can’t remember
how you reached
the place you find yourself right now.
You don’t know when,
you don’t know how.\'
(so much wisdom
you\'ve weaved into this, heartachingly
acute, portrayal of so many people\'s
daily, realities..)
and if your words were inspired by real life events
I\'m sorry for what you\'ve had to go through..
this is a read, I\'ll remember for a long time
thank you! for choosing to share with us..
Brilliant!

Morning Dave.
I hope you’re well.
Thanks for the kind comments.
I must admit I was laughing whilst writing this nonsense.
Incidentally, I was once told that every family has at least one strange member and if you’re sat there thinking who it could be.
If you’re really trying to think and you cannot recall who it might be…………
It’s probably you 😀
Have a nice day.

Don\'t believe a word of it Chris, in your case: but as a forensic study of feral folk, let me tell ya - them do exist.
Great laugh. Prize goes to Uncle George in the cinema........

Thank you very much.
It was just a bit of silliness really but I laughed as I was writing it so I thought I’d publish.
Thanks again.

what a wonderful celebration of reality
no pretence, just a sincere squeezing
of life\'s bittersweet, gifts
demonstrating perspective\'s, wisdom
that we utilise, in choosing to accept
our circumstances in life..
really like how you, welded
the jagged edges of your spiky poetry, bravely
like your Auntie Maud
and boldly, revelled in all your quirky gaiety
like your Uncle George...
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
loved this!
lmao! 🤣

Great poem that many of us can relate to. Booze can be many things. In the end, a poor choice.
An appropriate photo by the way.

Thanks once again for your kind comments.
Fortunately I can take it or leave it but on reflection, there was a time when it was probably the cause and solution to all of my problems.
Like many people I didn’t realise it at the time and had to take a more perspective view.
Kind regards.

\'temperance in everything
including temperance itself\'..
by Montaigne
(like diabetics
who learn to give up, salt and sugar
sometimes, we have to acknowledge
alcohol\'s, escapism utility
in our lives
comes, at too high a cost...)
sorry if you\'re having some difficulties in life, dear poet
(but I truly believe
acknowledging the problems, we have to overcome
is half the battle)

Doggerel Dave said:
Do not reflect Chris, on what has been done before. Some (not all) messages are worth repeating often. Here you cover at least two themes close to my consciousness: The horrendous cost war inflicts on the participants. Beyond death, both physical and mental injuries (high suicide rates here now among returnees from Afghanistan) result of PTSD. Not only but also the treatment they receive from society (Govt Agencies) upon their return.
You also cover the the little boxes they and many others are housed in by unfettered property development.
Good work Chris.
