Talking to Myself
L. B. Mek said:

situationally? - it depends, my friend
(everything temperate, even in your facility to be temperate)..
be yourself, because life is too draining,
to be traversed in the guise of someone else...
(such a wonderfully unique topic, thanks for sharing dear poet)

Before I was old enough to drive. I road the bus occasionally. I still remember many of them years later they were good people.

Bus Folk

As a child and young man I used various bus services a lot and found them enjoyable mostly. The wet and cold or snowy days on crowded buses could be a trial though.

Your post today brought back some happy memories of my travels.

With age came my bus pass and I was keen to climb aboard the sleek looking Mercedes single decker bus. But oh such a disappointment was the ride quality. The whole bus shook with harsh vibration constantly and the hard seat beneath me was unforgiving. Such a change for the worse, but thank you for the memories.

Soli - (A Trio of Limericks)

I replied to dear old soli
digging his poetic quarry
upon my bended knees
dig no deeper please
he\'s clearly off his trolley

I couldn\'t resist joining in. Enjoyed your limerics.

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!
for choosing to share dear poet

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.

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. ; )

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.
