Kevin, this made me smile right away…light, playful, and just well-timed. That closing twist lands exactly where it should. It’s fun without trying too hard. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A likely story, but taking it on face value, in your position I would consider a small fine a small price to pay if Cynthia was a sweetie....

Not Waving but Cleaning the Windows
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a wry grin behind this one—the world praising a man who’d rather just get on with the work.
Feels like a window cleaner who knows life’s simpler when you keep your hands busy and your pride quiet.

I\'d be adamant in his position; too much responsibility having a label like a lovely man with a heart of gold stuck on him. Too much obligation....
Cleaning windows nails the whole thing.

Mistaken actions lead to misinterpretations and poor responses and so society goes. A fun read

Let Us Pray...
sorenbarrett said:
A great poetic prayer that if Mark Twain was alive would agree with and applaud. Loved the sarcasm, cynicism and general humor as well as the flow and rhyme a fave for me

In Death
sorenbarrett said:
How insignificant we all are. Even the famous die and soon are forgotten. We leave our marks that soon erode and life goes on. A great poem that seems a tribute of melting ice. Nicely worded and imaged it speaks to our brief existence.

Left the world with a smile on his face - not too sure of the advisability of his wife\'s 90th birthday party on hold, though....

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 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.

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
