The last line flipped me over again. There is some continuity both to your strategy to your choices. Oh, and let me get a third and to my confusion I always like the stuff the last line always gets me down.

Doggerel Dave said:

\'Look on my works ye mighty and despair\'
Not often I find myself lost for words, but as I sample your pieces, that\'s the position I find myself in.
All I have left: You quote from perhaps my all time favourite pieces of poetry.

Parasites
L. B. Mek said:

(thanks for sharing
imbued with that frankness
of deep insight!
forgive me, I had to try
and ink the feeble poetic reply
below)
as shards we congregate
to aggregate a facsimile
of existential congruity
knowing
a fire alarm, somewhere
will set as free
or a deafening explosion
internally
will grant us that finite
mercy...

In a comedy film, a relative says \'I thought you were dead. How did you find out that you weren\'t?\'
The reply was \'Well, I saw my picture in the newspaper!\' lol.

Reflection of The Orange Lily
L. B. Mek said:

(indeed, but who can blame them
dear Poet
see, its so much easier to Hate
shake your head, in denial
point fingers, at those universally
marginalised
and count yourself lucky, its not you;
while
those being, victimised
choose, anger
because its easier, than striving
for forgiveness\', capacity
for self-Empowering, emancipation
and that makes it simple
to Hate, everyone
that accosts them
and then use that, as
their bases
for Nihilism\'s, self-Hate
and on
and on
and on
the cycle continues...
like Spring\'s blossoming Lily
foreshadowing
its Autumnal demise, despairingly)
thanks for sharing! such
a thought provoking read, dear Poet

Recant
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
thank you for choosing to share, dear Poet
(the first two lines
make a complete Poem
just on their own)
\'When crow\'s, sing
their crooked, song

I reply, with

a heart of a cactus..\'
