\"Compassion has an expiration date.\" What a line! It\'s all too true...the people are willing to help...until they aren\'t.

But we have just had a few days of a heatwave here! LOL. That you in that field? Or it could be you-know-who Obi. Heehee.

Cheeky Missy said:
\"...vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.\" (Ecc 1:2) And whom but the poets to echo that while man seems to chase his tail madly, deluded by dreams of grandeur which eventually leave him chagrined. Excellently rendered with haunting imagery and a damning poignancy.

The cycle of life seen through other glasses. Futility, why just keep carrying on? What is the meaning of life? Such an existential question. Here it is brought to the page in metaphor and with great textual design representing the bowing of the grass (wheat) and the fading into forgottenness. A lovely portrayal of the demise in form and thought. A fave

My family think I\'m a tad eccentric but that\'s not the case - I could even be classed as slightly mad - but in truth I simply retain a streak of childish humour which keeps my brain working looking for the next humerous poem to post here on MPS.

As per (most of) the conversation above, madness is a relative concept. And you have nailed it nicely Tristan.
However let\'s not forget the deeply psychotic for whom madness is a disabling curse. (Not you - otherwise you would be incapable of your lines here.)

Not me. I\'m just a little crazy all the time, and that\'s just me, my personality. It is indeed a cruel world, and bullies will target you in lieu of their victims if you stand in their way, but, that\'s just the way it goes. Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and a very haunting poignancy indeed! Thank you for sharing.

This is deeply honest and movingโcaptures the quiet pain of daily survival with sharp clarity.

like Jesus, we must sometimes: show the way (even to ourselves, and not follow any of the ways or mindsets of others around us). but I doubt your poem, though i hear and understand too. perhaps it is a state of mind?

Madness a matter of degree, yes we all are a little mad most all of the time. Freud said that we are either psychotic or neurotic take your pick. After all what is madness anyway just being too much different from the others. And what of when the majority is unloving, uncaring, selfish, depressed does that mean that to be giving, loving, happy is madness? A lovely write Tristan.

Loved it! It\'s easy to write when an idea floats in on the wings of an angel. But it\'s a big challenge to wrestle back ideas from the devil. You accomplished that with aplomb. Well done ๐
