The actual incident filtered through to the tranny atop my kitchen fridge, a one off. Epstein\'s ghost is there every other bloody morning...

I like the American way of, you pop out for a pint of milk and a shotgun, and then you amble off to see if there\'s a tariff on shotguns, and when you find out there is, you go mad. It\'s all hitting the fan now, lawyers are on standby, the courts will be busy for years now.

Dark and jagged, hits like a shutter click—violence and memory tangled in the same frame.
Your lines haunt the edges, where the past refuses to rest.

A shotgun and a wide pattern, gas well depending on if liquid literal or gaseous which all political words carry it can be explosive. Shot dead guilt by association? Or is it the case is dead? Epstein they say is dead. My mind wanders. Another short that in the public mind is not so short but soon will fade just as Watergate, JFK assassination, the trade towers fade, let alone Indian massacres and the holocaust. Well done my friend

Well written. Your poem touches upon feelings of frustration, emotional burden, and a search for clarity in relationships and faith. It conveys a deep sense of loss and sorrow, particularly highlighted through the imagery of a heart that is \"rent\" or torn, suggesting a spiritual and emotional crisis.

Tristan I get the feel from this poem with each line ending in the same rhyme there is a feel of exhaustion and tiredness built into the poem itself a most ingenious use of repeated A rhyme scheme sending one back continually to the same sound as if running in circles. Very nicely planned. A fave for the construction my friend.

This one was quite complex for me to understand, and I had to read it several times to grasp the essence of the matter; excellent work, really. Your poem revolves around the tension between conventional morality and genuine spiritual liberation. Yet your poem critiques those who impose rigid moral standards (the \"morality-mongers\") and suggests that true union with God and understanding of truth comes from love and authentic personal experience rather than from adherence to societal or religious norms. The subject matter encompasses themes of rebellion, the nature of truth, the emptiness of virtue signaling, and the process of achieving spiritual integration and identity.

Oh no, it reminded me: \'resonant regurgitation\', or \'resident regurgitation\', and a whisper - or much louder - of a glug of spinach! Well, hundreds of glugs really, not just one, of course! heehee. How DID Popeye get into this?! lol.
And what DOES this cryptic comment mean. Don\'t answer that! lol.

The ones at the top practice love, usually gods love, whilst the starving at the bottom rebel
Yet Jesus and opulance really don\'t go together.
I always say, you\'re as good as your salesman flogging your wares.
Religion and war, great bedfellows.

A bit of obscure history poetically displayed in a marvelous acrostic. Isn\'t it funny how someone can be burned for preaching agape considered heresy by a religion based on love. Irony at its best. So well written with fantastic imagery and metaphor built in it is a definite fave my friend

Very wonderful poem. Sometimes the answer we want is not the answer to what we need. I also wrote a poem a while back titled ‘Whatever’ but it was less of questions than it was statements. Funny how us poets seem to be connected.

War, what is it good for.
I suppose Gettysburg was the turning point of the war, but the dead and wounded was horrific for both sides, and probably a stain on America.
We mourn our dead and we learn from it.
Though I think the learning part might have been forgotten.

Well written. My friend. Your poem explores the juxtaposition of memory and the passage of time, particularly how we romanticize and idealize the past, often forgetting the true stories and experiences behind historical events. It suggests that while we may honor the memories of the past, we risk losing the authentic meaning and context of those memories.
