In My Simple Clumsy Way
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a graceful sweep to this—language reaching high, only to find truth waiting in something plain and honest.
Feels like all the poetry was just a long הדרך… to arrive at “I love you” and mean it.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this really moved me. I smiled when I reached the ending. After all the beautiful imagery and romantic comparisons, the poem arrives at the simplest words of all…and somehow they carry the most weight. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A Plea to the Moon
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this really moved me. There’s something timeless about the way you address the moon here...almost like an old prayer offered into the night. The reverence and wonder carry all the way through. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

That had the feel of starlight, starbright until it took hold of its own destiny. Your spark is shining, Kevin. 🕊️🙏

It has such a soft feel initially and I guess that would go with a child\'s poem Nicely done

If (Or there Abouts)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this gave me a good laugh. The further it goes, the more gloriously unhinged it becomes...and the fact that it never once pretends otherwise is what makes it work. I found myself wondering what absurdity was coming next, and you never disappointed. Great fun, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

With all due respect to Sir Rudyard Kipling this one made me smile and yes I have done some of these before you ask a few I would like to do and there are two or three I would never dream of doing.

Fool Britannia : ( I See No Ships)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this gave me a genuine grin. The dry British wit running through it is fantastic...equal parts satire, frustration, and affectionate lament for what once was. You can practically hear the naval pub banter rolling through the whole piece. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A fun read that satirically speaks to the situation of military spending and the security of a nation. Well written with some fun pokes at politics. Well done Kevin

There is a Tree
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin…there’s a real gothic tenderness in this piece that I enjoyed a great deal. The tree begins almost ecologically grounded…breathing, drinking rain, enduring frost…but slowly becomes something larger and more intimate, tied to memory, youth, romance, books, and finally death itself. By the end, it feels less threatening than inevitable…a patient presence “keeping it\'s distance.” And then your closing author note immediately swerves into humor like a Monty Python curtain pull. 🤣 Beautifully balanced work, my friend. Strong writing. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Dark and a shadow this poem follows the writer in growth as a shadow grows longer with dying day. It is foreboding and haunts as it hunts. Well done Kevin

sorenbarrett said:
Whether humble or bumble I have not either but been stung many times by bees and wasps and a couple of times by salesmen. A clever write and well composed. A most fun read with a message. Well done Kevin

Sting. Noun: A Sharp Biting Pain
Doggerel Dave said:
I do not believe for one minute your last two lines, but as a finalising poetic flourish, then it can pass muster.
With respect to nature, while I manage to survive disputes in general, my policy is definitely, as yours, tiptoe quietly away: nil confrontation. This is doubly true as advice relating to nature\'s snake division.
Fun read.

Kevin, this gave me a good laugh, my friend. I love how the poem builds through increasingly dangerous creatures only to reveal the true predator at the doorstep with a clipboard and rehearsed smile. 🤣 Short, sharp, and wonderfully delivered. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Great Stink of 1858
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this was both wonderfully informative and wonderfully biting, my friend. The historical detail gives the satire real weight, and the ending lands because it feels like history repeating itself through a different kind of filth. I especially appreciated the balance between humor and genuine social commentary throughout. Excellent write.
Also…the Great Stink and the Erfurt latrine disaster together really do prove that history’s greatest enemy has often been catastrophic sewage management. Somewhere in medieval Europe a monk was absolutely writing, “Your Grace…the bishops/dignitaries have fallen into the poop vault,” (or in this case, the River Thames) while trying not to laugh into his parchment. 🤣 Wonderful work as always, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Great Stink of 1858
Thomas W Case said:
You’ve taken history and made it smell like it still walks the halls—sharp, vivid, and uncomfortably alive.
There’s grit in how the old stink becomes a mirror, and the mirror doesn’t let anyone off easy.

Doggerel Dave said:
Thanks, Kevin. In poetic terms a monumental effort rich in detail about an amazing engineering feat. They might have tunnelled – I tunnelled down several rabbit holes. I had vaguely heard of the great stink, but now I know considerably more from your piece and where it lead. Thanks a bunch for the heads up on the Great Stink. Great Work.
