Freedom of Expression.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
💯 Totally for freedom of speech. People seem to only like it when they like the speech...but that\'s the point of free speech, it can be said without approval. There are natural consequences to saying things one shouldn\'t, so let those do the work. No need to ban speech. Well done on this, my friend! A great poem to resume \"normal services\" with. Love it! 🌹👏

Yes and yes and yes and yes and yes and yes - is that six? (should equal the number of stanzas in your poem, with which I heartily agree.)
Freedom of expression is self evidently the way to go.
I\'m just left wondering if there were some specific action/legislation in the UK recently which stirred you into this declaration?

Some restriction on speech such as that that would cause irrevocable harm to another (shouting fire in a crowded area, deliberate slander of another, false advertising) have already been restricted but anything further is questionable, I believe in politeness and curtesy but restrictions on political correctness should be left up to public response. I am for freedom of speech

Children Had Fun.
Mottakeenur Rehman said:
This poem beautifully captures the bittersweet chaos of a family outing—where mishaps and frustrations pile up, yet the children’s joy shines through it all. Percy and Joan’s sacrifices and quiet exasperation feel so real, making their love for Paul and Jill all the more touching. The humor in the absurdity (seagull theft, graffiti explanations, and the infamous ‘bare arses’ scene!) balances the underlying tenderness. A reminder that even imperfect days become cherished memories when seen through the eyes of happy children. Lovely work, Tobani—relatable, funny, and full of heart!

You DID make me shake with silent laughter, and this latest pretty number was indeed lengthy, minorly akin to our old American poets such as Longfellow, but it was worth the reading. Delightfully rendered with excellent imagery and a humorous, haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside!
I do like to be beside the sea!
Oh I do like to stroll along the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play, \"Tiddely-om-pom-pom!\"
Your entertaining tale tells more truths than this old English seaside favourite fable Tobani.
Enjoyed every line.

Funny how one person\'s misery can be another\'s joy. Point of view establishes attitude that determines mood. A fun read and I was expecting further disasters such as coming back to a stripped car or one that wasn\'t there or worse being held up with no money to pay on the way back but then my views are always dark. Well done

Do Not Be Afraid Of
The Truth.
Initially It Might Hurt
Eventually It Will
Heal.”
My favorite of these because it is so damn true. I have been facing my own truths, and truthfully, some of them have hurt like hell. But facing them…owning them….all of them…has begun to release me from hell. So there it is. Powerful truth, my friend. I hope many have ears to hear. Yay!!! Can’t wait for more of these to come. You are a wise one, Tobani! For sure! Happy Sunday to you, my friend! 🌹👏
