SAILBOAT
Soman Ragavan said:
Sorry for the confusion. As from your poem âThe roomâ I thought you were a girl. Perhaps I noticed a girlâs insights and passionate feelings in your writings. Now I understand the words âGypsy dressâ and âflowing hair.â I had been intrigued by these words. Many years back I read an article on my astrological sign, Libra (scales). It said : âHe feels with the intensity of a woman.â You can see this through many of my poems. Your poem âThe roomâ about bedroom tax led me to write two intense poems, âBedroom taxâ and âBedroom tax and Peeping Toms.â Best wishes. Soman Ragavan. 16 September, 2023. //

My comments on the poem \"Sailboatâ by nephilim56
There is a picture of solitude on the lake : âdeserted shore.â 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. âAs I walk in our footstepsâ : 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 donât last long, especially is there is water around. She tries to hide her tears; this if further indication of sadness about the relationship. Itâs 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 âclass warâ , some would argue, is dead.
BS. Itâs 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 â 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.

Tremendous write
Enjoyed the rhyme but it\'s the content that grabbed me
Especially
\"No pomp or gun salute \"
This is a better and more fitting tribute than any of that

THE ROOM
Soman Ragavan said:
My comments on the poem \"The roomâ by Nephilim56
This poem should haunt those heartless âpersonsâ 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 abroadâŚ. 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.

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.

Veterans don\'t get anything near what their worth, if it wasn\'t for them we all wouldn\'t be here today doing all these wonderful things we can do. 100% respect for all those who fought for our freedom. đ

War museums seem to be a celebration of war - you make this very clear, I think. And it is everywhere. I grew up on war stories. It took time to work out the stupidities. Just keep the message going as you have here in a very polished piece. Thank you.
