Treat people with kindness.
Easy to say, but some can’t do it. You found empathy and compassion early. We never know the suffering of others. I enjoyed your words David. Have a good weekend.

I do hope this is true David, it is so important in life to respect all as you never know how hard their lives have been.

The Pearl Necklace.
Cassie58 said:
An epic story David and much enjoyed. They do say pearls are for tears. Well, that’s what my Nan told me many years ago. She left me hers. I only wear them at funerals.

I got confused but then I realized my supposition was incomplete , one might also “awaken” to bad news and that explains my unevenness regarding hood or bad

An enchanting poem. Speaks to me about another time, another place, sadly gone. Lovely stanzas, your lines flow well, are laden with delightful imagery and are nicely rhymed. The ending alas, a sad one.

That rain will fall hard and I hope Joan joins with blue untangled as all stones roll to the watchtower and we shan’t think twice.

Oh mother, let me apologise.

Tragic. A mother’s love is eternal and unconditional. This is a heartfelt and touching poem. I am sorry this happened to you.

The Train to Treblinka.

Such sad words David when you think what happened.
Last night Mary and I went to see the film One Life a true story about a man who saved children from Czechoslovakia as the Nazis were going into the country.

The Miracle.
Cassie58 said:
And I have danced under the miracle
of the Sun.
Some people travel through life without even noticing. Your words tell me you are a lover of the natural environment.
Bluebells are the best part of spring. A lovely poem.

The Cat’s Tale.
Soman Ragavan said:
My comments on the poem \"The cat’s tale” by David Wakeling.
The title is like some of Chaucer’s poems (c1340-1400), in “The Canterbury Tales,” eg The Nun’s Tale, The Miller’s Tale, etc.
Many of the points mentioned in the poem can relate to human life as well : difficulty of movements in old age; obstacles appearing more daunting with advancing age; things look as in a haze; losing hair (fur); difficulty in hearing; slowed movements (“I would leap and purr”); difficulty in escaping from arising dangers (nowhere to hide on the old bridge); predators prowling around.

Tragedy ages the heart before its time. I have a daughter who has addictions. She will not get better. I felt a connection to these words.

It was fun to read but it was “real “ to be aware that you got knicked a bit cuz you ask why with a razored phrase and perhaps slant of eye. Too cool.
