seasonal diabetes
sorenbarrett said:
This one left me thinking and that is dangerous. I often see things that others don\'t and that is called hallucinations, delusions or just plain crazy. Here the reversal of the letters reveal poetically stated the mental part of illness. \"emditation\" meditation, \"dictated maladies\" too many m\'s and another reversal of letters for intimidation- quite intimidating indeed. Another reversal on climbing. Not aware of seasonal diabetes, unless you over eat candies and sugars on the holidays. If there were I\'m sure it would have a temporary effect on the eyesight and maybe the spelling. Or was it just deliberate to boggle my mind?

Dear friend I am of two thoughts here, the light at the intersection of the road, or the intersection of life. Either one will require patience and consideration as we proceed. Just loved this one!

Been there, done that. That is to say in literal traffic and also metaphorically. The traffic now days is really bad.

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune will always get us, no matter how big or small, or even minute they be. In our simplest flaws of character, we realize our own vulnerabalities and how little we control. Wisely worded dear poet.

Traditionally power comes from on high. Many tremble at hidden power sheathed by obscuring clouds. This may leave those below parched. But then again maybe I reach too far and it is a majestic site and nothing more

I think I read into this piece the shattering effect we have upon this world, with unforseen consequences that can leave scortched earth in their wake. I hope I haven\'t misinterpreted, but find these three lines quite powerful.

this is so much like something I have incorporated into the manuscript of my next book \'A Handful of Ghosts\' .. but far too far removed for you to ever try to do me for plagiarism .. Neville

(these desperate fools n their opinionated idiocy
keyboard warriors, puking hate
just to be afforded
a shard of recognition
by attempting to incite wroth
doing it all, while claiming
that gang warfare righteous fallacy
in their judgementally warped religious zealotry)
lol
ignore the noise, dear poet
this is wonderfully succinct and incisive
Poetry
cuts straight through, to that plague
of weary we accumulate
\'to be or not to be\'
Shakespeare understood, so empathetically
is it for nothing, we so strived
in our youth
is our reward this hollow, silence
we\'ve had to embrace
to save, what\'s left of our sanity...
in each next step we take
or blank canvas, we tattoo
we dare to ask, boldly!
and on...
we fight our great fight, daily
smiling, at that mocking twilight
defiantly
