So you are in that rutted road, when adding the word \'forever\' to \'labelled disrepair\'
Popeye says the UK adds an extra \'L\' to some words, as in \'labelled\'. Also extra \'U\'s as in \'colour\'.
Some churches - not all of them! - can feel a bit like that solitary pew. We may feel like yelling: \'Anyone alive in \'ere?!\' if it seems dull and dreary.

Tristan I am not sure why but the first thing that came to mind was the rebellion in failure. It is the ultimate defiance against society and this all the more so if one is capable of success or even genius. To throw it in the face of cultural, national, family demand and say that is what you get you are not worth the effort, I refuse, it would be an insult for me to try. I will satisfy myself and you all go find someone else more gullible than I. Someone that believes in your farce.

A very Powerful statement. Your poem explores themes of despair, failure, and self-identity in a world that values success and appearance over authenticity. The poet grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the pressure to conform to societal standards. The notion of \"disrepair\" symbolizes both a personal struggle and a broader commentary on the human condition, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging one\'s vulnerabilities and the reality of feeling lost or erased in a world that often disregards those who do not fit the mold of success.

Just given me the best, by example, piece of advice I\'ve had for a very long while, Tristan. I talk to the air, and now I know just how to find the cure - I need more focus. You provided a solid entertainment special anchored in the real world with a real solution out here.😜

Tristan not sure if this is a satire but seems so to me. Some people talk to idols, religious relics, God, other to people that might as well be rocks, not listening, not seeing, not responding. We all have our rocks solid and as strong as our beliefs. Enjoyed the read my friend.

Ohhh, we can\'t keep up with the antics of P & Co. We would need 23h 59m of each day to keep up to date - erm, the same amount of time they spend on ......... ahh, don\'t finish that! A cryptic ending, if we did finish that, would be: \'knitting!\' We know. lol.

I\'m gonna swat some flies then, as SB says.
Now tell us, Popeye, if we put it as a question: \'What works for you?!\' But, erm, don\'t answer that! lol.

A strong message that meets them head on with the violence of swatting flies. Powerful and unambiguous it meets force with force. I hear the anger in this piece Tristan

Doh! I thought it would be a beautifully descriptive poem about some decorated porcelain - plate, jug, or whatever, but not a loo. I\'m gonna be sick! lol.
Oh no, not now Popeye! heehee.

That lays in the sewer below or rather if I were writing this I would say that the world lays below and that the fine crafted ceramic is religion. Nicely done Tristan it is a critique that many have voiced in different ways. Hard and real raw as a chafed ass perfumed with poetic grace. God told me I gave him hemorrhoids.

Have you ever tried to pin a moment down, Tristan? It`s impossible isn`t it?! It`s like a moment is always here and never here at the same time.

I’m here. Now. No, I’m now in a same similar moment. Tomorrow another moment ….no different.. But in the end those moments do change; though I don’t notice, reality impinges.
‘Sorry Tristan - doesn’t come near to directly meeting your write halfway, but this it evoked, provoked or something...

Well written. My friend. Your poem revolves around the concept of the present moment—emphasizing the significance of living in the \"now\" rather than being preoccupied with the past or the future. The poet delves into the human tendency to forget the present in favor of nostalgia for what has passed or longing for what is yet to come. It highlights the sorrow that arises from neglecting the present moment, advocating for an appreciation of what one currently has rather than yearning for what cannot be possessed. A powerful poem, Tristan🌹

There’s a raw clarity here—each line makes you pause and reckon with presence.
You’ve captured the tension between time we have and time we chase beautifully.

This is simply beautiful Tristan a flash in time by the time it is recognized already gone. It is so fleeting yet always present, an enigma an illusion yet all that is real what ever real is. Nicely worded and constructed it speaks to me. A definite fave
