That would be one way to go. A fun read, it glows with going all the way and taking it to the limit. Well done

I Confess of Poetry
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this balances ornate language with real doubt. The opening nod to centuries of routine fare sets the stage, but the heart of it lies in those “seething Old Wounds.” Ending on “Or a Crazy Lovelorn Sipid old Fool ?” keeps it human and unsettled. Thoughtful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poem of poetry and the poet that exposes themselves, striping naked in front of all. Lovely

The Couple Nextdoor
Doggerel Dave said:
With perdition on one side and some hell bent Harleys on the other , the neighbourhood has gone down the gurgler quick fast. Ever thought of a tent in a large open field? (when I do see the homeless in tents on the street, a very small part of my brain niggles that perhaps they are there to escape the neighbours....)
PS The use of the term \'perdition\' indicates my view of parties generally and not just the one next door...

A fun read that borders on reality and makes it plausible. Well done

A Poem of Very little Consequence
Thomas W Case said:
You wear humility like a badge, shrugging off the weight of grandiose verse.
There’s honesty in your “just a poem,” a grit that makes the ordinary feel deliberate and alive.

Thomas W Case said:
You cradle the pastoral world in your hands, letting it breathe, hum, and dance—until history crashes in, sharp and absurd.
There’s a quiet grief in your lines, a knowing that even beauty can’t escape the jolt of fate.

Nota Bene
Thomas W Case said:
Hey, my friend, sharp and true—this cuts like frost on bare skin, a little grim but honest.
You’ve captured the hush of holy versus the grind of the everyday, raw and unflinching.

Clever and a fun read that has more thought in it than initially appears. But then with greater thought are not Christmas and Easter now with commercialism holidays of the devil as well? A fave

Haiku of my Love

Great!. Takes a Haiku by the throat and tells it a home truth in its own language.

Haiku of my Love
sorenbarrett said:
This senryu is quite cleaver not only in its syllables but how the last line leaves an incomplete word that leaves the meaning emphasized as incompletion in expression just as explaining love must remain incomplete. A fave

Thomas W Case said:
Sharp-eyed, darkly festive—this doesn’t sugarcoat the world’s mess.
The last couplet hits like a cold wind down Thames Street.

Cold reality after festive cheer. As in your piece it slides back into our lives effortlessly.
Well writ, Kevin.

That is a piece on poetry/verse I can relate to. Seems I\'ve missed out on you for a while. Time Zones and all. Truly sorrowful

The New Year
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this reads like a life seen from both ends at once. Youth, learning, fatigue, and acceptance move together with grace. It’s reflective, affectionate, and deeply human. A powerful piece. Happy New Year! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
