There was a time and a day, a social structure and manner before social decay… I suppose the upper crust folks still keep some modicum of social norms… but I’m not privy to that world… good to see and feel it still exists in poems… 🙏🏻🕊

I loved the flow and rhyme of this poem that seems in some ways folk legend in style. It has a ghostly feel to it. Haunting. Very nice and a fave

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

The Glorious Joy of Death.
sorenbarrett said:

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. 🙏🏻🕊

Pathogena the Temptress.

An intriguing and very enjoyable read, beautifully written and laid out.

Pathogena the Temptress.
sorenbarrett said:

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

Now, about every spider being born in Spring; that will stay with me for quite a while. I can be that focused at times 🙏🏻🕊️

The Sydney Opera House.
sorenbarrett said:

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

I am glad I read this, I was not aware of the history off the opera house, I will think off it in a different light now, enjoyed the read

Not even a memorial marker!? And Mrs Macquarie gets a chair 🪑 commanding over the point. Tsk, tsk… poor show🫤🙏🏻🕊️

My heart dropped. How cruel the human species can be. No compassion. Powerful writing David. Reads well.

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…”

Poetic Licence said:

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

Tarred and Feathered.
sorenbarrett said:

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
