You using your quill pen for this?! Good write CB.
I didn\'t mean a poem for 50 days really, but we can both try that if we wish.
I meant I may write 50 poems (random number) about KP, but they would be terrifying - all about my marriage to her! lol

All kinds are needed, comedy and tragedy, but of Shakespeare\'s works, I thing the tragedies are his greatest. It appeals more to deep emotion.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
