Thanks you. Did kinda throw it down.

I will revisit and tidy it up.

I get so caught up in the subject matter, I forget to format.

Very kind feedback.

Thanks again.

took me by the hand and
lead me along a rhythmic
trail
I was not expecting the
sudden ending such
contrast as abrupt as
the discovery
Most enjoyable

have you considered losing commas and full stops?
Here is a verse but unfortunately
this text input will not allow me double spaces Please imagine the replaced spaces

Do you remember the maze? he asked The thing the old farmer made?
Of bushes and hay bales and wood
I’d hate to get lost in the maze he said I’d get out as soon as I could

I often do this unless I specifically want a comma for emphasis
suspense or visual effect
2spaces comma Three spaces for a period
Two spaces in place of quotation marks I say

I feel it easy to read without hooks and dots clutter The eyes naturally
suggest pausing at a longer break between words for about a comma length

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!

Life can appear like that maze to some on the edge of ending it all - - - sad but familiar in these troublesome days Chris - - a tale that gives much food for thought -

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! 🤣

Thanks. All my writings are a reflection of things I’ve either seen or experienced, so I use real photos. Mostly.

Thanks again for the kind feedback.

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.
