COWARD ( EXECUTED WW1 )
Cassie58 said:
Such a moving poem. You have captured the carnage so well. Shot for cowardice, when they were suffering from the awful effects of shell shock. Judged by madmen. Thank you for remembering them.

Summed up nicely - the way the system works (or rather doesn\'t) for many.

MANKIND

In a nutshell.
\"They\" never ask me or you. But \"We\'\" don\'t travel into space \'cos at anytime now or in the past I won\'t be going: -
It, given the immensity of the universe is a ridiculous enterprise anyway.

MY FATHERS PLACE
Doggerel Dave said:
\'Was he here at all ?\' Yes - I know. All I have is some very conflicting memories of my parents, sometimes very strong, sometimes quite weak...
And when I\'m gone ?
Thanks for a neat poetic question.

A COLD MARCH DAY
Cassie58 said:
The painful reality of a partnership ending in death. A funeral scene that many of us one day may have to witness. I felt the chill. Nicely penned stanzas. Visual.

SOLDIER
Doggerel Dave said:
The guilt, I believe should be shared - although in some instances, for some individuals economic disadvantage initially kicked them into the armed services.
Question well posed.

KNOWING AND WAITING
Doggerel Dave said:
Deeply felt I feel, but deeply relevant to us all. A universal experience for most, I believe.
Spare but complete.

IMMORTAL ROSE
Soman Ragavan said:
My comments on the poem \"Immortal rose” by nephilim56
The rose is said to be a symbol of love. This rose here is immortal; it never dies. Sometimes people keep a dried rose petal between two pages in a book. This heart metaphorically has pages. A rose is kept between the pages of the heart. The heart is a broken one.
A suspended sky probably signifies that life has stopped in time. Tear-filled eye denotes paid and suffering. “Frozen in time” : life moves on, but this being himself cannot do so. He remains frozen in his memories. The years go by, but he is stuck in past memories. Soman Ragavan. 11 January, 2024.

UK TODAY
Cassie58 said:
Sadly this has now become all too common and is nothing short of a National scandal. Working people should be able to afford their rent. Our taxes aren’t being used wisely. A shortage of homes in a vastly over populated country. That causes stuff like this to happen. Tragic, at Christmas time in particular. Your poem touches the heart of anyone who has a heart.
