I felt it was a sly tongue in cheek satirical take on friendship ( or whatever is cliamed within its ambit). Advanced apologies- I have the wonderful habit of flying off on a wrong tangent.

Thank you for the announcement in such poetic form. Set in rhyme this poem falls poignantly in time for those who have not composed something to do so. A fun read although I have no poem on the theme of play.

I guess you remind me of my late mother\'s wise note that true friends are rare and few, the majority not worth the trouble we take and misery we endure. On the other hand those latter are likewise whom despise us when we ask a favour. I\'ve been so disgusted with myself for trusting them. Beautifully rendered and charming with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing. This pretty number should resonate with countless.

Tom, this is quietly powerful...the denied pound turning into a mirror of friendship’s imbalance. Honest, wounded, and clear. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Whatever is pulling you away the next couple of weeks, will miss you mate! See you on the other side!

Words and actions not always the same. A facade friend just for appearances or a faux friend for decoration. Lovely

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tom, this is comic timing at its finest. The bad week, the shame, the tension building…and then the twist with wrestling hits perfectly. Relatable, funny, and so well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

We all have a child in us even when we have grown up. Nothing wrong with a child inside or out. A fun read Tom

But Sleep Won\'t Come

Such a true story Tom, it is amazing how many things can go through your mind when trying to get to sleep.
I don\'t need to worry about my passport though, the last one I had was back in 1966. LOL

orchidee said:
Yes, sometimes we\'re ready to sleep about an hour before it\'s time to get up! I\'m retired now, though been semi-retired for some years anyway, with redundancy from my last job. I could get up any time now, I suppose, but like to get up early-ish!

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Tom, this captures the restless mind so vividly, my friend. It feels like insomnia itself is narrating...relentless, frustrating, and all too human. The humor keeps it sharp, but the exhaustion is real. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

All those things that go through the mind after one lays down. Then there is the reticence to get back up to check anything and the grinding irritation that comes with laying there not being able to let it go. Well written and identifiable

i agree with you completely - somehow i feel these gatherings are just an avenue for some narcissists to boast about their creations, and ignore the lovely work floating around - maybe that is why i avoid such meetings, and prefer to just post my work in selected forums

I\'ve had the same unfortunate experience with a zoom poetry group. All the physical poets chatted amongst themselves, barely giving the poet a passing nod.

Tom, this lingers…the sting of being unheard, the chatty crowd, that one neighbor dismissing with “I wasn’t really listening.” You captured the disillusionment perfectly...the excitement turned to lesson learned. Honest, sharp, and true. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
