Sometimes, for some, poetry is the last refuge - and I wouldn\'t knock that, Rik.
Not for me. however my kind of verse allows the expression of fun (not much of that recently) and the occasional idea in accessible form....
Each to their own...

PS: I don\'t even understand \"2/50 orchlenge\"

Sort me out!

Good write CB. You started me off with a song: \'All through the night\'. I forgot the first line of it. Doh!

I thought this was a yearning to see the next postman, with their strikes, etc. Like finding gold nuggets. Doh!
Not all are on strike though, it seems. I see them around often. Or post-persons!

Poetry is the start of the road , and when it meets fellow poets it starts to have meaning.

Oh I agree Rik - poetry means travel through word-mountains to pen each hard step taken by the bard\'s lust for expression. - -- a pressure release valve it certainly is.

Good write CB. I never knew there was so much in poetry. Well, I know now! lol.
Note to self: you often say that Orchi - I never knew there was so much in............whatever.

Well yes - I personally have managed to disagree agreeably on several occasions, even here...but sometimes this just aint possible.
Sorry to bring personal experience into the mix - Quite possibly not the right moment to achieve an apogee position....

Strindberg Principle
Doggerel Dave said:

Prior to here, he was a playwright, after, he is by all accounts a \"polymath\" - the \'accounts\' being a lengthy Wikipedia article.
I\'d vote for him - seems he lead a chequered life, and had no trouble being vocal about his society, all and anything he distrusted. A searcher for truth - whether he found it or not is in many ways irrelevant.
Your poem is reflective of that I feel.
Let me know if I\'ve misread.

Strindberg Principle
Paul Bell said:

I wonder if Strindberg knew he was slightly different from the rest of us. In saying that, he probably thought us as a pretty dull lot.

Strindberg Principle
sorenbarrett said:

A wonderful write Strindberg would be proud. naturalism or mysticism, either way it fits. The old fight between free will and determinism. Such a ring of duality, almost Taoist.

Good write CB. I\'m not up to date with this Strindberg fella.

A refreshing daily float down life\'s running stream seems ideal for shackle-free boats Rik - good read and I am loving your final line too.

sunrising sunset
sorenbarrett said:

This poem hit me in different ways. The sunrise portrayed so well the dawn of life with its promise of the future yet to come, while mid-day is the work and labor, the suffering of mid life, then comes the memories present in the evening of life. Then again the literal day is just fine too.
