Well, with me it made me stay, but that\'s another story. Compassion is sometimes a chain.
Interesting poem

The Night Creatures
sorenbarrett said:

You got me Paul a fun read that makes sense to us old timers that have been there and are now there handing out candy. Oh but it was worse I my day when we roamed the neighborhood with wax for windows and screens of those not home or pretending not to be there, toilet paper and chalk to graffiti the driveways telling neighbors here lives a cheap person. Pranks galore for any unsuspecting and no parent supervision until they checked our haul for needles and razor blades.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Bloody hell, Paul! I had to read that twice. There\'s a particular kind of cruelty that doesn\'t even require someone to say anything aloud. The thought that people can be so callous genuinely sickens me. πŸ–€πŸŒΉπŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

A raw piece this. Unsettlingly brilliant.

Fond regards,

Now Paul even for me that is dark. It makes total sense and probably has happened millions of times but it kind of takes the shine off romance and puts the thought on what the real purpose of love is and that of propagation of the species, romance nothing more than a ploy and sex itself the false advertising that leads to product maintenance under a legal contract. Well done old boy.

Death Of A Clown
Tony Grannell said:

Hello, Paul,

What a tragic tale, from the fun filled days of yore to the death of humour. The laughter, the bang and then the silence. Awfully sad and profoundly expressed. Well done indeed,
.

Fond regards,

Tony.

Death Of A Clown
sorenbarrett said:

Being a clown is great fun. The court jester has great freedom. I used to dress as a clown for kid parties and Halloween and always painted a frown on my face. It gave more freedom than a smile that seemed forced and required one to always act happy even when not. This poem speaks of hidden feelings behind the mask and the very act of shooting oneself is not seen as tragic until the end. Nicely done my friend with a deep message

Oh, Paul! 🀣 Between Animal Protection and the police, I think Grandad needs a solicitor on permanent retainer! And Lucy? I\'d be checking whether she\'s secretly charging the authorities for her investigative services! LOL! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

As an ipad promo it will take up a lot of running time...
As a shaggy parrot tale, watch your back John Cleese, a new generation is on its way....
Enjoyed thoroughly, Paul.

Hello, Paul,

Murder most foul and what an ending. A simple twist to the old adage and it\'s still not right. Excellent!

You made me laugh Paul I thought I knew where this one was going at the beginning but it took a turn and then another by the time I figured out where it was going I was checking my door for the police. You never know where a poem or a story will take you and whom might feel it necessary to file a report.

Paul, bloody hell! πŸ˜‚ There\'s something particularly disturbing about someone who can rationalize murder as casually as a disappointing career decision. That\'s a frightening sort of ambition! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

A great story with a hidden epitaph left to the reader to guess. The best way to end a story. Well done Paul
