Lovely with choice imagery and apt poignancy, rendered to effect and akin to the offerings of the season invoked and upon us. Beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing.

Fine As Wine

a mouth watering read
lol
thank you, dear Poet
(a bottle or a glass
how much of our heart
do we dare to pour out
sound out, that hurt
coax those bruises into
entrusting in hope
once more...)

It’s Your Theme
L. B. Mek said:
I don\'t know why
but after reading that last line
I recalled
the great, late (may he rest in peace)
Robin Williams, screaming
\'good morning, Vietnam\'
in that iconic role
that depiction of a joyous
fun loving radio jockey
trying to offer a semblance of normalcy
and a shard of hope and gaiety
in amongst war\'s vile reality..
admittedly, comparing
festive depression to a time of war
is an ignorant gesture
somehow though, I feel the threads
align, at some level..
(a brilliant message and a wonderful read
thanks for sharing dear poet)

L. B. Mek said:
what a scenic depiction of humanity\'s prevailing spirit
you\'ve penned,
to you and yours, kind poet
I offer you \'a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.\'
stay warm, stay safe
and keep those mighty qwerty keys, dancing
all night long

One Lump Or Two
L. B. Mek said:
I yearn for those days
where an innocent, \'are you alright, mate\'
wasn\'t an offence, to be thrown back in our face...
(in our stride for progress
so many of the minutia details
that act as the cog to society\'s wheels
have now been so utterly, worn out
that I dare to think how future generations
will make it through, the next ww
or global pandemic...
your poems echoes
one of my favourite lines of poetry
written by Plath
\'tea leaves thwart those who court catastrophe\'
she wrote of tea leaf reading
but I like to think, she also meant
of those hot beverages
we sip, while watching-on
as the chaos of life huffs and puffs
all around us
and maybe with a sweetener or two
in our cup, it makes it that much easier
to make it to that next Aurora
of hope, in our lives...
just maybe)
An absolutely Brilliant write!
so glad I didn\'t miss out on this
thanks for sharing, dear cherished Poet

orchidee said:
This reminds me of when special needs poeple may be overlooked. People only speak to the care and ask \'Does he/she take sugar?\' (or one sugar lump or two).

Just You and Just I
L. B. Mek said:
a relatable tale, thanks for sharing dear poet
(never easy when fairy tales
expose themselves
to reality\'s harsh weathers..
still
I\'ve always found the regret and hurt
a fair exchange for the love I got
to experience
I\'m firmly on the side
\'of better to have loved and lost\'..)

Winter Blues
L. B. Mek said:
such a relatable and thought provoking read,
thanks for sharing, dear Poet
(strange how at times our moods are reflected by the seasons
as-if, we have the power to manifest our will upon Nature\'s weather, directly
and yet, we forget
how we once had Spring blossoming in our house
while tornados, lashed at our doors
what helps
is to cherish the good weather, we\'re gifted
while not deflating, completely
as one more balloon of hope
is burst by that callous fate\'s, gust of wind
maybe, then again what do I know?
\'i still carry umbrella\'s in June
and defy landlocked snow roads
in my t-shirts...\')
lol

Rocky Mountain High
L. B. Mek said:
wonderfully descriptive, you can tell your attention to detail
although maybe not due to enjoyment..
\'outdoor adventures
always sound fun
till they begin...\'
lol

(oh and I recommend
\'a walk in the woods\' by Bill Bryson
may help you laugh away
your bad memories)

My Old Friend From The Hood
L. B. Mek said:
\'And for just a while I was home again
Just then it came, a summer heat rain
The smell of my youth filled up my senses
Gone were all of life’s pain and pretenses
It was just me and the young lad I knew
Before all of the curves that life had threw\'..
such complex and tumultuous, feelings
distilled so accessible and sincere
really well written
and rhyme helped insure that story telling feel to the read..
thanks for sharing, subtly eloquent
and very stylish

The Crow
L. B. Mek said:
\'attachments\' in life
so subtly, \'dangerous\'
so, we must be grateful
for our \'cup of joe\'s\'
in life...
(a very layered, didactive fable
or a surface level, good yarn
either way, a pleasure to read
so well paced!)
thank you! dear poet

My Toe Just Touched The Water
L. B. Mek said:
\'Making yesterdays seem even more dear\'
so beautifully worded;
a dip
affording us a swim
in reverie\'s rivers
stagnant, in reality
we daydream the world
upon our flying carpet of thoughts
and hopes..
just a great read!

The Affair
L. B. Mek said:
I always felt
affair\'s, needed more nuance
and range of labels..
some, are just that
\'an affair
a momentary weakness to a passing whim\'
but other\'s
are, SOS cries
hands, reaching out - to anyone
from beneath suffocating, circumstance..
ergo
while all affair\'s cause, heartache for someone;
some, affair\'s
literally
save, lives...!
(just such an empathetic, take
on a topic
most consider, black or white
and thus
beyond, any need to sympathise
with)
a polished write! dear Poet

The Wake Up Call
lalalaEulalie said:
Enjoyable poem. Thanks for sharing. I liked the drawing on Humpty Dumpty, and I appreciate that the wake up call was unnamed as to its issue, (drugs, greed, etc... Makes it more vague, yet widely relatable.) Looking forward to other gems.
Love. 💕 Joy. 🍕 Peace.✌️

thanks for sharing
this a theme/topic
I could relate with, easily..
(personally, at time\'s of similarly
duelling, duality
born from my contrasting sense
of self, I search
for that feminine pool of logic
and balance
resting innately, somewhere deep
within me
and seek its, calming wisdom.
so i may better, hear
myself...)
