Sleepy Hollow
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

A Little Mad
Michael Edwards said:
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 moving—captures 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.

Sometimes the madness in me is what others find interesting and adorable, so I pack it away neat and tidy until it’s called for 🕊🙏🏻

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 👍

Miss you dreadfully cuz you\'re never absent, and what do you do?! Dredge lines from the refuse of damnation, polish it off like a happy child [like me in grade school when we moved to the Colorado prairies and I first discovered an actual junk yard....oh the junk I brought home like from a ghastly treasure chest, and which my loving mother accepted!], pleased as punch with your prize. Well, well, well. Where I\'ll actually refuse to write until after sunrise, you\'ll eagerly howl at the moon at the witching hour. La dee. Gorgeously rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a ghastly, macabre poignancy. Thank you for sharing, I\'ve missed you, Tristan.

Not a block nor an impediment but a setback momentary or otherwise…. Which in and of itself is also a subject matter that may be written about in various ways. Love it🕊🙏🏻

This is so well written, I was engrossed from start to finish. This is nature as it truly is; fierce, ugly and unapologetic as a murder of crows go about their daily business. Well done Tristan. Excellent and then some.
All the best,
Tony.

Aww, these days where it\'s trendy to divorce, what a winner this heartbreaking number is in the field of castoffs. Beautifully rendered with exquisite imagery and a wrenching poignancy, thank you so very much for sharing.
