Your write hits home, as my daughters have discussed this with my wife and I. They don\'t fight over who will take care of us, as I wouldn\'t want that on any one, but each one of them think we will be with that one. I recognize the spiritual aspect of this write and clearly identify with it.

Here in Italy there is an enormous respect between parents and their children it\'s almost incredible to see. Parents help their children buy homes and set up their lives and then they also take care of the grandchildren and when it\'s time to help out our parents we do it with great gratitude and pride. I\'ve always been amazed of the love we have over here and great respect for eachother. A great subject ❤️

On one level I like the simplicity and your usual polish.
But please, don\'t put it on your offspring. I\'ve seen too many daughters and sons (but mostly daughters) have the middle part of their lives curtailed by the demands of ageing parents.

THE COST
Teddy.15 said:
I suspect the soul of a good man has already been torn away before they go to war, otherwise how could they even be so strong as to kill another. Beautiful words, I would hope that they were placed in a peaceful place such as heaven as we believe it to be. ❤️

NO MANS LAND

The rhyme is terrific while the details of the write, the imagery and story provided, hit deep. Burying someone is difficult, burying your child is worse, though there should be no comparison. I watched my mother bury my brother after the gulf war and this tells the truth of the tears.

\'His mother remembers
A child in her arms
Blind to the truth
Of battlefield scars.\'
it\'s too heart-breaking, to witness
so they choose to go blind...
(Brilliant!
thank you dear Poet)

ADDICT
Teddy.15 said:
I was born and bred in the heart of London in the 80\'s this brought some very familiar sights of what I saw as a child on the streets. I actually had a couple of friends who ended like this. So very sad. An extremely powerful portrait of a woman lost. Congratulations you did it in style. 💖

I have some sympathy for Roman Ragavan\'s position.
ln this imperfect world gender identity, age and so on is important in the understanding of the dynamic involved in any human relationship.
Having stated this, I\'m full of \'if\'s but\'s and why\'s so come on, let\'s discuss this and see where we go....

SAILBOAT
Soman Ragavan said:
Sorry for the confusion. As from your poem “The room” I thought you were a girl. Perhaps I noticed a girl’s insights and passionate feelings in your writings. Now I understand the words “Gypsy dress” and “flowing hair.” I had been intrigued by these words. Many years back I read an article on my astrological sign, Libra (scales). It said : “He feels with the intensity of a woman.” You can see this through many of my poems. Your poem “The room” about bedroom tax led me to write two intense poems, “Bedroom tax” and “Bedroom tax and Peeping Toms.” Best wishes. Soman Ragavan. 16 September, 2023. //

My comments on the poem \"Sailboat” by nephilim56
There is a picture of solitude on the lake : “deserted shore.” There is both sunshine and rain. As the poetess can hear her heartbeat, it possibly means she is stressed. The words about the gypsy appear to hint at some separation, that the poetess regrets. “As I walk in our footsteps” : it is not clear who that other person was. Anyway, it reminds the poetess about a past walk at the place. The footprints of the past have been washed away by the tide. Footprints don’t last long, especially is there is water around. She tries to hide her tears; this if further indication of sadness about the relationship. It’s the end of summer and the start of autumn, the season that signals winding down of nature, leaves turning yellow or brown. Memories are fading away. Past experiences that were real now appear like dreams. The poem ends on a note of sadness for the poetess. Soman Ragavan. 16 September, 2023. //

THE STREETS
Doggerel Dave said:
The ‘class war’ , some would argue, is dead.
BS. It’s just that the underclass have not yet realised that they are the working parts of an economy which advantages the rich and powerful over the rest of us.
Keep at it – until vast disparities in wealth are addressed (hopefully not too violently) it will be forever thus.
A write from you I as usual enjoyed.
