Paul this is on the outside fringe of what I had always considered poetry but you have opened my mind. In my prior definition I had always said that a poem is something that moves me emotionally and this did, it made me laugh and what better emotion is there than that. It brightened my day, what more can I ask for. For that a definite fave and thank you for broadening my horizons.

Not all the messages on my phone are like that.........
Now back in the day carrier pigeons took some of the urgency and immediacy from the more compromising ones....

So unique yet so familiar it strikes both chords at once. The social demands that now we have no privacy from. A lovely write and a fave

Not a Mickey Finn, was it Gaffer (I mean Gov\'nor)?
Smooth ride to bump of an ending. Good Stuff.

This is sharp and cinematicflirtation, tension, the reveal of Mojenta. Noir shadows and poetic heat woven together. Gripping work, Paul. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Vultures Dance
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is war in its most savage truth. The vultures circling, the screams swallowed, bullets stroked like lovers…you drag the reader into brutality without mercy. Unflinching, visceral, unforgettable. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Well done!

The Vultures Dance
sorenbarrett said:
The horrors of war, a savage act by a savage race. Nicely depicted in all its graphic detail. The revulsion of it should turn people to peace but it never has. Well written

The Night Dancer
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Paul, what a piece. The beauty, the longing, the repetition...all suspended under that constant shadow of death breaking in. It’s tender and tragic, radiant and ruined, a dance both intimate and impossible. Stunning work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Haunting and eerie this poem speaks out of darkness unveiling as the dancer herself its message. Dark as death it carries with it a voyeuristic sense of satisfaction and the frustration of interruption. A wonderful write. Loved it

Bins
Doggerel Dave said:
Keep \'em coming Paul, particularly if the topic is as serious as this....
In our block of flats, I live upstairs. Bloke downstairs got bin duty. I must admit he does always look a bit frayed around the edges..... I try to avoid him - always got some story about the bins and his back, or idiots who put the wrong stuff in the wrong bin... obviously hasn\'t found Julie\'s phone number yet....

Good pick of topic. The bins are getting smaller and smaller so that they can charge extra for what used to be a regular pick up. A fun read

✨Hilariously, dark comedy at its finest! The bins and Mr. Bell’s reactions make it surreal and funny. Nicely written.

Maybe the child shouldn\'t be there anyway....hardly her fault though...
PS: Like the new straight from the shoulder stuff, but wouldn\'t mind a salting of the old schtick occasionally - I need a good laugh sometimes....

This is packed with raw emotion and real sadness, a child`s view on living through war, the reality of it and what becomes normal to the child. Very nicely crafted write.

The horrors of war seen through the eyes of a child so accustomed to death that anything short of maimed was not normal. A tragic and sad write. Nicely done with hard hitting emotion

In short bites the poem is eaten and digested. Bit by bit differences are spit out and the commonalities outweighed by the dissimilarity tips the scale. A tragic read and uniquely presented. Loved it a fave
