Epigram on a P.M.
Thomas W Case said:
Feels like a blunt pub-sung verdict aimed straight at power—wry, cutting, and unafraid to land.
There’s a sharp, old-school bite in it, like history leaning in with raised eyebrows and no patience left for excuses.

Epigram on a P.M.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this is wonderfully direct satire. The rhyme gives it a deceptively light rhythm while the imagery underneath carries genuine criticism and collapse. “That Empty Suite in Number Ten” is a strong closing image too…quietly bleak and memorable. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The bare facts as news here in the Antipodes - but what has he done.......... or is that the story?
You are on a roll with these political E\'s. I couldn\'t think of a better way to catch up on all the doings in the Mother Country....

A write that I am little familiar with but it seems political and clever. Well done Kevin

Kevin, this one carries some real bite...and honestly, deservedly so. “More faces than Old Big Ben” is a killer closing shot. Sharp, witty, and sadly believable all at once. Really enjoyed this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A dry grin flicked at power like a cigarette burn on a polished desk.
Westminster reflected in a pub mirror—still wearing the suit, just less convincing.

Epigram away, Kevin - That was great. Said more about the state of politics than a lengthy column rich critique in yer local rag.
Faved for brevity and penetration; well and truly skewered.

Kevin, this is wonderfully done 😂 The whole thing strolls along so innocently and conversationally that the final turn catches perfectly. “If you switched it ON, I would have to leave” completely flips the poem in one move. Clever, playful, and really well paced, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

So You must pay a license fee to watch tv, much of it garbage? The blank screen has the ability to clarify the mind, I would hope.. Does an agency like Fair Trading exist there? Or link to your PC and seek out a You tube kaleidoscope or any thing other than Reality TV.
Can\'t find anything funny in this at all.....😂

Musings on a Sowbug
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this is fantastic honestly...philosophical, playful, and strangely humbling all at once. The scale keeps shifting beneath the reader until the room itself starts feeling cosmological. Wonderful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

We are a different breed and we assume our uniqueness amidst it all. In this difference we in our self perceived superiority war, rape, murder, torture, canibalize, steal, lie, defile and destroy. How can such knowledge lead to such depravity?

The Long Days Journey into Bed
Thomas W Case said:
This carries the weight of a weary observer watching the world spin louder than it should, and still finding rhythm in the telling.
There’s a rough, honest pulse in it—like frustration turned into something strangely lyrical and steady.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kevin, this carries a real weight…that endless cycle of noise, conflict, and promises that don’t hold. The way it builds and then settles into that quiet longing at the end…yeah, that stays. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kevin, this is a fun one… you move through the forms with real energy and personality. It feels like a celebration of how many ways poetry can breathe. Ooh and neat thought...all of those forms in one poem sounds like fun, probably frustrating, and worthy challenge. Are you going to? Regardless, really enjoyed this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Which two minds were in fact involved in this creation? jointly they seem to have got themselves sorted nicely. Dunno which was responsible for the rhyme, but it works well. The overall management seems to have provided a simple truth.
BTW, a response by me to this question is simply \"Getting There\" and to date no one has wished to know the identity or address of \'there\'...
