To me, your poem revolves around the theme of love and the inevitable mistakes that can occur in relationships. It highlights how even well-intentioned actions can lead to disappointment if not executed properly.

You\'re making me laugh too hard now! Poor Harry is honestly too perfect in all his foibles and failures, the image of manhood in these modern times. Downright hilarious with nigh exquisite imagery and a wistfully poignant sense. Thank you for sharing.

Such true words Tobani, this world is in an awful mess due to those in power who do not care about civilisation as they just want what they can get for themselves!!

Wonderful commentary on the times we are living in and addressing such a pertinent subject as mass starvation. Although tragic beyond words the content is so necessary., This subject matter deserves wide exposure and discussion as there are innocent people suffering and it is poetic voices like these who capture the spirit of the times we are living in. Very much a fan of the rhyme as well. Excellent, topical writing. Thanks PL. Sincerely, Elizabeth

Standing Alone.

First, very well written... ;-)
I understand feelings of \'depression\'...I go through it every single day...; I\'m \'biPolar\', I think...though, unofficially diagnosed by myself, alone. My moods can swing from \'up to down\' even in a minute/or, a second...; and, really quite \'unpredictably\'...?
Sometimes, I do think what the hell am I doing here for...; what is the point in me going on...?!
And, in an up mood...I think, I\'m utterly invincible...and, can do absolutely anything...
Depression comes in many different varieties, I guess. For example, I heard there are basically 2 different kinds of BiPolar...
BiPolar I
- where the persons downs get so bad...they, actually, will attempt suicide
- where the persons ups are so bad...that they have to be sectioned away...; and, have drugs administered to them to get them to come back down
Bi Polar II
- where the person suffers feeling of depression...; not always suicidal ideation...; but, can\'t quite put themselves up...; eventually, this downward mood passes, and, they return to either being \'stable\'/or, manically \'up\'.
- where the person is \'up\'...and, then, do all sorts of things they know they should NOT be doing...as they are in the mood to take \'risks\'. Overspending on \'credit cards\'/indulging in \'dangerous\' random sex/over eating/over drinking/gambling/over-excercising/-etc. When the high wears off...; which it usually does after a while...ranging from minutes...up to...max 3 days; then, they will usually end up feeling really \'sad and sorry\' for themselves...; their bank a/c. is broke/or, they\'ve run up gambling debts/they might have caught some sexual disease(and, will need to get checked)/if drink...they find they have a \'hangover\'; if over-exercising...they might have only stopped when they\'ve gone and hurt themselves and do feel \'pain\'. -Etc.
Luckly, I seem to have the latter type...which doesn\'t demand drugs/or, \'forced\' isolation. But, man, at 62 years old...I can tell you this thing has NOT been easy to \'live\' with...?! Some of the dreadful stories I could tell...UGH!

Cheeky Missy said:
Oh that killer conclusion! I must hand it to you. Between malnutrition, pedophiles, school yard bullies and war victims, the list goes on endlessly. Besides it\'s propaganda. Deny it if you like, but that\'s all it is. Excellently rendered with perfect imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Tobani,
Hunger by politics in so many places in the world today, some more publicised than others but all suffering the same accursed fate. An excellent verse.
Fond regards,

I like that you left this unnamed so it could apply to either side. Powerful and poignant it emphasizes that the ones that suffer are not the ones that make the decisions. Well put Tobani

A new generation for a new world
In my day we where never in the house
Some now hardly leave and have a virtual existence
I only hope they get as long a run as i did
Somehow I doubt it though
Thoroughly enjoyed the read

Hello, Tobani,
Too, true what you have wrote here and well said. It\'s very hard to keep up with the changes and especially what people get away with these days. That being said, I still have my bicycle, an electric one at that, I must admit, apart from that, I\'m a luddite, well nearly - hahaha!
Fond regards,
Tony.

Hello, Tobani,
All it takes is a slight squeeze of the trigger, no matter the reason, a life taken and the perpetual grief in its wake. Four brilliant stanzas makes for an outstanding poem. Top drawer, this one.

I\'ve heard that if young and old stay in touch with each other, they can move more quickly and comfortably among their peers. And this communication shapes culture. I really enjoyed the article. Thank you for sharing it. Best regards.
