Don\'t hold grudges
Doggerel Dave said:
Nah I need to have grudges - it saves me from further disappointments when my newly instituted trust (on your advice, Nafisha) is freshly abused.

Books vs wapp
L. B. Mek said:
depends, dear Poet
are you not still reading?
well then
maybe this is a mere, deviation
a break
soon, if you miss your literary vice
enough
you\'ll be nose deep again, reading
something
with a little more substance;
see, its ok
if we take side paths, from time to time
we need only remember that destination
we were aiming for
and we\'ll soon find ourselves, back on track
do not be too hard on yourself

You cover a lot of ground there, Nafisa, a comprehensive catalogue of humankind\'s errors well written. A terrible worry as both good and and not so people and animal species plus vegetation are all going to suffer....

L. B. Mek said:
Brilliant!
and so true
\'quality over quantity
and
sincerity over simplicity\'
to follow, as other\'s do
to belong to majority\'s, rule
is that safe passage
and choice, in any life
(a short allegory, if you permit me:
used to be, scientist\'s assumed
zebra\'s evolved their black n white stripes
to blend-in with their surroundings
and yet, eventually
logic prevailed and people realised
blank n white, could never blend-in
amongst nature\'s barren desserts and forest green
aesthetics
so then, it became clear
zebra\'s, camouflage themselves
so they blend-in
with each other
as a defence mechanism, see
the odd one out from the herd
is first to be targeted
by nature\'s hunter\'s and bullies...
and in Japan, there is a saying
to avoid, needless allegorical story telling
\'“The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, first”)
and yet this inherited, zeal
for conformity and self-subjugated states
of existence
do not seat easily, with some of us
and it shows
in the choices we make, from the miniscule
to those we let, stand by our sides
as we traverse, this accursed
life of endlessly chaotic, strife
and how do you recognise
these few, who choose
to be true to themselves:
by the glint in their weary eyes
and those smile lines
not too evident, when not in use
but deep as dimpled craters
when they share a laugh, with those
they care about...)

Legacy
L. B. Mek said:
Amen!
so true, dear poet
(indeed, deeds of vanquishing feats
may appeal to youth\'s vehement ideals
but, wiser heads
do realise, it be those small gifts
in life, that reward us
our most meaningful mementos
and curate, with every choice made
the echoing legacy\'s of worth
in those footprints, we leave behind...)

And learnt well by the feel of it.
The term \'Friends\' is used far too loosely. \'few good friends\' with the emphasis on \'good\' just about covers it.

You did cite it correctly. .
Most of the time .. humans do more harm to each other than nature .. It is shame when political elites plan a war, then project every aspect of their decision .. even the number of casualties. . Death toll..!

Gliding
Myth said:
Even if the flight were very short one I always overwhelmed by feeling of abandoning mother earth .. I never thought of writing a poem while I\'m being locked in a metal box and thrown between clouds ..
I wonder is this a poem depicting air flight or just moment of meditation.? .
(In both cases it a 👍piece)
