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. //

SAILBOAT
Soman Ragavan said:

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.

NOT THE QUEEN

Social Justice isn\'t on the radar anymore.
Succinct statement re the deterioration of what once was a world class National Health Service - once.

THE ROOM
Soman Ragavan said:


My comments on the poem \"The room” by Nephilim56
This poem should haunt those heartless “persons” who claim taxes on a room belonging to a child that had died. For the thugs, the lives of the parents do not matter : public coffers matter. Taxes must come in, by all means. The short period of grieving was given out of decency. They have forgotten how, three years back, Covid sent even heads of governments to the hospital… Those guys survived only because of the best treatment made available to them… In some cases, even medical teams arrived from abroad…. They were saved only to stab the poor anonymous citizen all the more… Soman Ragavan. 26 August, 2023.

The riddle poem is as old as the earliest Greek papyri and the tattered remnants of Norse and Old English. I enjoyed this one.

CURRENCY
Bobby O said:

I would have not passed. Would have had to reach out to previous nemesis E. Nigma if Halle Berry was Batgirl and the voiceover was soaked with the tension of a John Holmes subplot.

It’s probably just me but I read it twice and some if the symbolic nature excised me.
