A thin disguise easily seen through in this poem of satire and poked fun. Never the less I think the Popeye of my childhood was far more compassionate and I would have to say smart than this one. Even Brutus was more appealing.

And for every endeavour on the planet we can assign a dollar figure. It must be staggering on many levels 🙏🏻🕊️

Where are all the billions in that have gone before us!? Perhaps those whose remains are in parcels that have been used for crops have fed us over the years. mmm…

Sometimes you’d think it’s boys and boys he business keeps going automatically once phished. But I’m paranoid to start off with.

Enough to confuse
Enough until all opposition is stilled
Enough until insatiable appetite is filled
A thought provoking poem my friend and it makes one ask themselves if it is all worth it. The poems brevity focuses thought upon the issue not decorations. Its clarity is emphasized in question that reduces resistance and it channels all into an unavoidable answer of too much. Well done Tristan

Hello again Tristan, I know who this is about. I did actually check the Instagram profile out, but didn\'t interact. I had a similar comment from the same person on another poetry website too.

Hi Tristan, when I\'ve read this, the blanket seems an important part of the poem. I suspect it belonged to someone special, perhaps you already own the plot right beside it. I really should visit my own friends grave more often.
A well written, thoughtful poem.

I suppose unconsciously, we walk over graves every day.
I think I might be a bit peaved if I was buried in a field of sheep, but then again, once the sheep is sheared, a woolen jumper could come my way keeping me warm in the winter.
A bit of a win, win.

Popeye\'s being sacrilegious - by the way, that\'s a terribly hard word to spell. He\'s growing spinach patches on the graves. Doh!

A wonderful write my friend about remembering whether it be a grave or a poem buried. I have only once visited my parents graves and that with others because they wanted to go, they never visited their parents graves and my father used to say why go they aren\'t there. But he and I remember them always and like a poem memorized the book no longer needs to be opened. Well written my friend

This has a sharp, damn funny jab at the commercialization of poetry spaces and the rush to turn every emotion into content. The “zero poems written, zero poems ever read” alongside the commissioned pixel art is a great little punchline about people selling the image of poetry without bothering with the poetry.

Tristan, during my six plus years on this site, in all that time I have only recieved one such offer. A lukewarm response at best. Why am I being so neglected?
Further, it strikes me that you do very good and interesting artwork yourself, so don\'t be a scarypoo and become worried about the opposition....🙃😂

Tristan this one caught in the craw. I have had so many commercial artists private message me. Also some say they have read the poems. If they do I say thank you and leave it at that. I know a person that is an artist and has offered to do art for free for me but I don\'t want to take advantage and I often feel that poetry is better without art that sets a preconception. On the other hand I understand that they have to make a living and why not approach potential customers on their home ground. A subject well addressed my friend.

Ohh, we hear the oppression of Popeye & Co, calling out for..... oh you know the stuff - spinach, wool for knitting, and more sabers. An odd assortment there. Why? WCAT!!

No way, Rich was coming back from the dead, but he left his mark.
Quite intrigued by a religious song writer. Did sales go up when he died, and was the legend born.

This has a stark, almost prophetic quality. It feels like a fragment from a larger poem, but there’s already a strong tension between time, religion, music, and historical memory.
The opening is especially intriguing:
“Ragamuffin records sober
Inside an empty, abandoned
Church—shaped like a watch—
His time about to expire.”
That church/watch image does a lot. The abandoned church represents a fading institution, while its watch-like shape makes the building itself a symbol of time running out. And “ragamuffin records sober” has an intentionally strange, almost surreal texture.

Sometimes you just have to walk away.
Re-group, and let the actions speak louder than the words.
In the end, you usually cut the ties of pains in the asses.
