Comments received on poems by David Wakeling
I can’t breathe
Mutley Ravishes said:
I\'m supposedly
A cop
I and my \"colleagues\"
Let me
Be filmed openly
Committing an atrocity
Knowing full well
On social media
It would be posted
And my police buddies and innocent citizens
Would be toasted
In riots
Go figure

How terrifying a situation is this. Fear and panic setting in. The scenario plays out in vivid imagery. Well done David.

The Glorious Joy of Death.
Poetic Licence said:
A very touching and carefully written write which makes you ask yourself so many questions, the last verse in particular is poignant, to end her suffering not the children\'s. Great write

A tragedy to one a blessing to another, what one sees as devastating today may turn out to be salvation tomorrow. All things have their own purpose that we in our short time span and from a narrow perspective can not see. Judge not it is said and well so too. Heart felt write David.

Tragic stories. I was posting up a poem inspired by a mythologicalGreek tale that paralleled this but posted another last minute, leaving the former as a draft. In hindsight I see now that the staggered posting might be to everyone’s benefit. Still reeling from it. 🙏🏻🕊

Like the spider spinning its web you spin your tail, as each web is geometric in design so your poem is in rhyme. Well planed a classical myth with metaphor and morel it reminds me in some way of Milton. (d0n\'t know why) Loved it and worthy of a fave

It is only recent history that tells us of genocide and its cold cruelty how many millions in unrecorded past were subject to this tool that has carved our species and honed it into what it is today. A poignant write with feeling and that is what poetry is all about

This must be true, war makes monsters of us all, from either side of the armed dispute. Perhaps the source of that oft quoted saying that begins: “all is fair…”

Judging and punishing those who like others had no choice at all, Jaqueline and people like her were damned if they and damned if they didn`t. A powerful write with a very strong message

There is not much difference between extremes a communist, a fascist, Muslim, Christian, Jew Atheist we are all human with all its weaknesses and intolerances. A passionate write about a difficult time where weaknesses in the human garment showed the ugliness that lies beneath that thin garment called civilization. Powerful write

A poem of feeling. We don’t feel enough. Nothing better than feeling at one with nature, it lends itself to freedom. The books can wait. A time and place for everything. Much enjoyed David.

The dichotomy of thought and emotion displayed here in a soliloquy that is moving. This indeed seems more emotive than cognitive in nature and it appears that the author has achieve his goal. In this world it seems that there is less of the emotive and more of the logical that goes with technology in a modern world.
