The Mirror Between Us
Doggerel Dave said:
Your proposition running through this clearly stated verse feels correct to me on one level. BUT
This so called Democracy is not run as “government of the people, by the people, for the people”, it is a bunch of puppets, largely being run by the very rich and wealthy.
No more fervent wish of mine would be that of the existence of countries run on Lincoln’s principle, but how, when the population is consistently conned by the real movers and their acquiescent confederates (loose use of this term)?

Elegy for Nuance
Doggerel Dave said:
A manefesto I found pleasure in reading more than once, as you do cover much ground. When \'delight in complexity\' can appear in the same argument as \'never mistaken clarity for superiority\', the journey is winding, but finally very clear.
Packed with nuance - so aptly titled.

Elegy for Nuance
Thomas W Case said:
Fantastic. This reads like a calm refusal to be misread—steady, thoughtful, and grounded in a quiet self-respect rather than defensiveness.
There’s a strong pulse of dignity in it, like someone choosing to keep their language open and alive without shrinking it for approval.

Le temps qui s’étire entre nous

A most intimate moment that speaks of sharing with another being happiness and that is all that is needed. Well written it brims with contentment and glows with joy. Well done

Green Returning, Softly
Doggerel Dave said:
I\'d have to live in a northern hemisphere cool climate to fully appreciate this,. but it keys into very distant memories of the relief as a winter is in retreat.

Green Returning, Softly
Thomas W Case said:
Soft and expansive—this feels like renewal observed from inside the body as much as the world.
The grit is in the quiet return: hope arriving not as revelation, but as something ordinary you suddenly remember how to feel.

Pay Them. Respect Them. Let Them Work.
Doggerel Dave said:
\"What does TSA mean in the United States?
DEFINITION: “TBA” and “TBD” mean “to be announced” and “to be determined,” respectively. These terms are used broadly in event planning; they indicate that although something is expected to happen, a particular aspect of that, such as place and time, remains to be confirmed.\" - direct copy and paste from Google query....
Not suggesting that is the only explanation available to me, merely that an explanatory note at source would obviate any confusion at all for those not directly involved in this particular industrial dispute.😜

It is never wise to anger those that protect you. Worse still encouraging the villains and criminals paying them for crimes sets a bad example

Sounds about right, and I can feel the deep and abiding anger in a well constructed piece. But I\'m not there, so who exactly are you addressing?

The Shape of Their Assumptions
sorenbarrett said:
It still bothers me why people think they have any business or right to question, meddle, or even know about a person\'s sexual life, who they choose as friends, lovers or bank account. Why is that their business and how does that affect them. A lovely write

Don’t Confuse ‘Not Him’ with ‘Good’
Doggerel Dave said:
\"one man’s ugliness
does not excuse another’s mediocrity.\" Yet that is the choice voters are invariably presented with.
A long rant I coasted through with ease and enjoyment,

Partisan Potholes in Everyday Life
Friendship said:
Well done. Your poem humorously examines daily life through a political lens, highlighting the triviality of associating routine events (like waking up or experiencing weather) with political ideologies. It ultimately suggests that not everything needs to be politicized and that there can be moments of simple joy and peace.
