Empty Chair
L. B. Mek said:
(Brilliant!
the best I\'ve read from your ever-so talented pen
so far,)
firstly, I love the painting you chose
its colourful features, overwhelm
such a depiction\'s capacity to convey
loneliness as all-thigs bleak, allowing us
the opportunity to envision
that chair not just
as an ostracised or neglected corner
but as a vacuum of expectancy
in our hopeful endeavour
to find that significant other;
Secondly, more importantly
your poetry just sings from start to finish
weaving a universal, yet deeply personal
and wonderfully nuanced narrative:
\'maybe I could see Grandpa again,
to both reminisce, and to talk of pain,
by playing an achy game; of unfair comparison,
for the dead are free, the living still build a prison,
or simply, I could think of her, him or them,
to dream up our relationship’s stem,\'..
what a sublime reading experience
thank you!

Good write Ben, anybody can be in that empty chair but the one opposite me at home should be filled with my wife and often is in my heart and mind.
Love the artwork.

Empty Chair
Doggerel Dave said:
Neat piece, AS – enjoyed
Without Covid, lockdowns and on/off, the advice would be easy: “No use sitting alone in your room, come to the Cabaret”, plus: Do the ‘adventure’ and the partner may turn up…
Easy before, harder now, but nothing like involvement in a cause to find allies…
Take care of yourself.

Human Dinosaur
Accidental Poet said:
No shortage of these dinosaurs in the world today. I\'ve run into a few, and usually I ignore them knowing it is their goal just to piss off those who oppose their kind. Sometimes that can be a struggle to win at. Great write Auburn. ; )

Neil Higgins said:
Calm calm.Who says I\'m not..eh?
If I tried to sit in my conservatory,I\'d be in the garden,as it\'s only a \" figment of my imagination\" but hey ho.
To \"chill\" I like to put my headphones on and listen to a classical concert.
A fine piece of work Ben.

The Relaxing Pitter-Patter on the Conservatory Roof
Accidental Poet said:
I think everyone goes through this from time to time Ben. I myself have a tough time staying calm when faced with ill confrontations. Usually I try to remember that it\'s a choice I make, to be angry or calm. And with calmness comes clarity. Clarity to see through things realistically and sort it out. Great write here Ben. ; )

I can understand where you come from Ben,I too have a conservatory roof and am often found in there but my choice of relaxation is music, I listen to it all the time, especially in the evenings before I go to bed.

It is so wonderful to get back together with friends that you have not seen for so many months, I met with one of mine yesterday and we shared our history of the passed months over cups of coffee, it was so good to see him face to face again.

Apart from you and the barman there weren\'t any blokes. Had they deserted?
