Never mind the relationship - glass bottles with silver top managed to separate the milk from the messenger...them were the days free of effete notions such as hygiene....

Quite the descriptive and artistically worded image that in rhyme depicts a repulsive figure. All expectations of a coal miner dashed by the introduction of the word milkman. A fun read and a fave

You have to be a certain age to remember Telly Savalas as Kojak and the play on Kodak works well here. Fun read

A cheeky nod to 1970s TV nostalgia, this light‑footed rhyme swaps Kojak’s homicide beat for a camera’s flash, turning Telly Savalas’s bald‑headed, lollipop‑sucking sleuth into “Theo Kodak,” a police photographer no crook would want tailing them. With its singsong rhymes, catchphrase callbacks, and punning name, it works like a quick snapshot; instantly recognisable, warmly irreverent, and grinning at its own wordplay. Such fun traipsing down memory lane 🕊️🙏🏻

Portrait of Dora Lyse
arqios said:
There’s a wry, noir‑tinged humour in this little portrait: the glamour of a name like Dora Lyse brushing up against the tabloid grit of domestic upheaval. In a handful of lines we glimpse an entire arc: the art‑world muse, the fractured marriage, the switch from painter’s spotlight to police station glare. Those “3 black eyes” land as both visual gag and grim punchline; inviting us to linger on whether they’re literal bruises, a sardonic embellishment, or a symbol of how appearances and stories get reframed in the retelling. It reads like a snapshot from a larger, half‑scandalous scrapbook, the kind that leaves you wondering about everything just outside the frame.

Dang, man!!! You\'re too good. I love, love, LOVE this! Made me laugh too loudly and kept me every single line, it\'s too good! I want an illustrated copy, pretty please? Gorgeously rendered with exceptional imagery and a waltzing poignancy. Thank you so very, very much for sharing.

To the Value of One
arqios said:
For me, “The Value of One” is a meditation on the irreplaceable impact a single life holds, weaving its title through images of unseen grief, steadfast love, and the quiet radiance we cast on others. From the veiled emotions of those who’d mourn us, to the shadow that “blankets all” with warmth, the poem measures worth not in currency but in the gold standard of human connection ,which is a reminder that, in a world where much is cheaply sold, the singular presence of one person can be priceless.

Tony Grannell said:
Hello, Kevin,
I remember this so well. Plucking petals from a daisy hoping the last petal would confirm her love, sadly never worked for me. Wonderful idea, how you have attached poetic extras to each petal, as it were and to do so with excellence and a sense of nostalgia. Very well done, Kevin. I have enjoyed this one, no end.
Kind regards,
Tony.
