exist-inguished crises
Bella Shepard said:

It\'s hard dear bard to feel positive about anything these days. Those hollow logs, in their decay, will provide nourishement for new life and hopefully a better way. Such a good write my friend!

your holy book or mine?
L. B. Mek said:

(words speak, beyond
what writer\'s imbue
as, to read is to question
for a line can anchor our mind
or make us doubt, our once
untouchable dogmatic zeal;
what truly matters
is that we listen
when we come across those words
fated, to open possibilities
in our journey of life...)
forgive my feeble attempt at a poetic reply, dear Poet
i couldn\'t resist..
thank you for sharing such a memorable read

to nourish our zest for life
beautifully paced and worded
what polished skill!
sorry for my tardiness dear Poet

I was just getting ready to say something really witty and profound, but a nanosecond passed, and the thought was gone, oh well. It is whimsical and sobering at the same time dear poet.

A verse there in 6.7.5. format I recognise!
I don\'t say \'metres\' now, as that\'s something technical, to do with stress on certain syllables.
I only end up stressed about them syllables if I try to \'metre\'!

You must have been enjoying yourself then, as it\'s said \'Time goes quickly when you\'re enjoying yourself\'. Fido don\'t let me have too much enjoyment, in case I swoon!
I really must \'get out more\'. lol.

So true by the time we think of it, it is already in the past. A Haiku?

humanity might be a curse and a blessing. depends on what sides of us you want to look at and which you choose to ignore. there\'s always a reason, nothing is black and white..

your poems usually teach me new words, and tumultuous might be a new favorite.

Good write CB.
But Fido is suspect of \'reverie\'. He won\'t allow me any in case it gets too jolly, or any hint of hotness! Nor any ardour or excitement. He says it\'s for my own good, in case I swoon too much! lol.

You pose such an intriguing scenario dear poet. Do we truly listen, or simply look to distract ourselves. Such a good write!

confrontational history
orchidee said:

It\'s a true write, because it\'s neither \'the good old days\' nor \'the bad old days\'.
And \'I wouldn\'t have done that when I was your age\' does not ring true, because they would have done it at our age! Whatever \'it\' was.

There\'s nothing new under the sun, it\'s all been here before. Good writing.

Bella Shepard said:

Dear friend you direct our attention to the state of the world in a most profound way. Your second stanza,\"if a measure of wisdom still remains\" begs the question do we realize what we have lost? Your last stanza a vision of what can be. Brilliant!
