G’day Thad
Thou can’st see what property can’st do,
Apart from theft, it’s lotsa hard work too.
Must be great living a life free as a bird -
But ownership turns Dicky into a turd.

There you go - aggro and violence trumps love; sad old world ain’t it?

I\'ve watched the robins rout the sparrows and all the other friendly fowl in my vicinity as if it was acceptable, and we\'ve been technically at war ever since, and that\'s been for a decade by now. Watched hummingbirds quarrel over their 4-server feeder until none could enjoy it, and now you post this hilarious image with a sonnet to accompany it and I wish I could have it in hand, I love and cherish it so much!!!!
How delightfully rendered to effect with superb language and a subtly tasteful poignancy. This is too perfect! Me LOVES! Thank you VERY much, Thad.

Very emotive words Thad, throughout my life I have never knowingly been near any drugs except alcohol and cigarettes.

Wow. This is an all too frequent story. How is it that I feel I need to carry OD antidote in my glovebox? Mayne the need but don\'t have, have but don\'t need scenario?

Doggerel Dave said:

Some fish manage to get away
With the bait and live another day;
But for others the result ain’t good,
So a life of rectitude they should
Consider and health problems thus allay.

As I think I may have mentioned before….
Found this a neat well rhymed moral tale, Thad.

A fine write T. Sadly, some are led away to drugs.

~> Heroin! - form Monotetra -
Cheeky Missy said:

Aha! \"Heroine\" was the false premise as she fell unto her demise in the subtle offer of her new, cruel master heroin. Oh! That killer distinction which netted hitherto unperceived misery! Poor girl. Could as likely been Eve with the Serpent at this rate.
Awesome. Not my favorite topic but as ever, beautifully rendered to good effect with haunting poignancy and excellent details. Thank you for sharing, good Sir.

Sei Tutto Per Me! [ Sicilian Sonnet ]
Doggerel Dave said:

G\'day Thad, You don\'t really need any further response after Missy has overwhelmingly endorsed your passionate poetry, do you?
And anyway but also, I do feel that anything I write might by virtue of its crassness, inadvertently cast a pall over the delicate atmosphere you have laboured so diligently….. and so on…. 🙃

Sei Tutto Per Me! [ Sicilian Sonnet ]
Cheeky Missy said:

SIGH. I \"favorite\" these in a vain attempt to collect them for my own. Why have none left any commentary on this delectable number?! Aha! nevermind. I know why, methinks. Were we all able to see one another face to face in this happy, happy pleasure of sharing poetry, there\'d be but slight difference in how all trips along. But I digress.
Oh me! You men know too well how to woo with mere lines. This delicious number rendered to effect in a sonnet, as was said so commonly in Jane Austen\'s day that men were established as suitors thereby, [for evidence thereof see in Pride and Prejudice and etc] how courtship is waltzing sweetly hereby and I well-nigh swoon. Thank you so very, very much for sharing. Me loves.

Doggerel Dave said:

G’day Thad,
Never seen the point of acrostics in terms of Truth ‘n Beauty and all that stuff. Just as puzzling, pleasing fun.
And why not when It is as good as yours. Good lines, Front works well, the ends tied in with great rhyming bows.
PS: Artwork Yours?

Cheeky Missy said:

My--! You\'ve floored me. I never in all my wildest dreams thought you could pen such delectable beauties to curtsy forth, take bows, and dance so captivatingly across the page I\'d nearly swoon. Acrostic was one of my first forms to try and yikes! that probably over 40 years ago by now, crazily. Wow. You\'ve outdone my impressions. Amazing. Beautifully rendered with a subtly joyful poignancy and excellent details. Thank you for sharing.

Doggerel Dave said:

G’day Thad.
I think I’m about to opt out of today’s discussion. I believe Missy (above) has, in response to your problem, comprehensively covered your issues and in a way I could never hope to achieve (the vernacular ah do believe).
I am however a little concerned that you may get behind the wheel in a highly emotional state……
Brilliant use of metaphor (which I don’t understand….)

Cheeky Missy said:

Yer havin\' way, way too mutch fun makin\' light over heartbreak, ya are. Tis unfergivible, I tell ya. Gonna string yas up an\' pelt ya wif me\'s scarves ta let ya knows tis downright unfergivible it is.
So, I is truly sniffling cuz of frequent crying bouts and me is NOT happy, but I\'s glad to see yer havin\' fun wi\'out me.
Beautifully rendered with excellent humor and good dialect, not to mention a teasing bit of poignancy flirting about. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Thad. What a heartbreak tale of misery. Excuse me for smiling. I guess I have a warped sense of humour. You know us Brits do know how to laugh. That flushing of her memory did make my lips turn upwards while they turned down again at the mention of a squashed butterfly. Thank you dear Thad for an entertaining read. Have yerself a great day:) I enjoyed my visit.

Doggerel Dave said:

I wandered lonely right round here
Looking for some halfway decent cheer:
Your doppelganger in the pic
Done himself alright with that chick;
But do you have to wear a bra
To get ‘em jumping into your car?

I possess neither a bra or a car - definitely among the lovelorn…

Thank you for making me chuckke Thad. Pleased to know that isn’t you in the photo. You still managed a poem, even if your muse wasn’t with you to begin with. She soon kicked in. Happy Wednesday.
