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.

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)

Homes for heroes.
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.

Yep. Society plays some sick games with us if we aren\'t a part of their model family unit. Doesn\'t only happen to old soldiers.

this line is so deep

A relationship richly painted there, Chris. You make me realize a part time relationship is more than enough for my limited emotional resources.
Fully entertained as usual.

Happy New Year!
dear poet, what a great first read
of your work this year, for me
thanks for sharing
I feel this work took a lot of time
to fine tune
loved all the mythology references and imagery,
and what a strong finish to your poem
\'In the aftermath
Summon all your strength my friend.
To chase the wretch away.
Purgatory will never end.
If the black dog comes to stay.\'
(that self-induced, purgatory
we so foolishly
weigh ourselves down with,
time-n-again)
