Beddie bye boo ski time for yours truly and/or the missus
L. B. Mek said:

\'leaving drawers droop
around mine skinny (think chicken)
spindle shank like bow legs
bent appendage vaguely hinting hula hoop
(fake detail here, which singular purpose
to supplement reasonable rhyme
ultimately sole purpose
to lasso and loop)
exert tight hold on reader\'s imagination\'
another fun read, although
if you keep on winking at us readers so often, within your text
it will read less like prose and feel, more like
we\'re having an interdimensional time-thwarting: conversation...
in other words: \'Dr Who, ain\'t got sh*t on you...\' lol
(thanks for sharing dear poet)

Vexation at self - regarding avoidable altercation...
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
I think you are at your entertainingly immersive best
in write\'s such as this one you\'ve shared today..
that feel you have
for subtly weaved sarcastic wit and blunt - yet, elaborately detailed
retailing of real life anecdotal happenings, is so much fun to read..
\'(minus her horse drawn grocery cart -
pushed courtesy yours truly).

While passively standing stock still
I (think Stonewall Jackson)
let scenario unfold before
mine myopic eyes,
whereby acquiescing
nonverbally attempting to scooch
closer to conveyor belt
subsequently attempting
to maneuver shopping cart
in front of another patron (an older man)\'
...
\'saint seeking achievers
and/ or hardcore faithful devout believers
who oft morphed into zombie
thrashing maniacs seized cleavers
a yen to revile against heretics,
not moost ideal to breed largesse,
whence possessed by fevers
toward simple axe of pious,
who indulgently pulled levers
no matter feigned actions hash tagged
reciprocating masquerade
i.e. facade, charade afraid
but, nevertheless a Good Samaritan renegade.\'

Quiescence Pervades Medulla Oblongata
L. B. Mek said:

\'triggering body electric
to become alert as a bloodhound
countless millenniums ago
the flight or fight reaction\'
and yet, that all-important: \'Amygdala\'
is hidden away, in your diagram,
interesting read, thanks for sharing

Long in the tooth male doth recount, reflect, reimagine... his woebegone damn dental daze today May 5th, 2021
L. B. Mek said:

\'(managed by gumpshun,
whereby eons hyperbolically
toted beyond google),
(despite diligence attending
to oral hygiene frame)
and despite optimistic stance
for thine dental debacle quandary
nascent malocclusion faintly affecting,
hinting, pointing toward Periodontitis
wool worth anesthetized numb skull claim\'..
ageless, anxiety\'s foreshadowed trauma
of a dental visit, worded
with that hilarity of sarcasm\'s, insightful eloquence..
a fun read
(forgive me for self-indulgently rearranging some of your lines above, dear poet)

Mother dearest Harriet Harris, née Kuritsky gave up the ghost ~ May 4th, 2004
L. B. Mek said:

\'within whose womb,
this sole son born,
thus shouldered *numb*
with self scorn.\'
(sorry for messing with your wonderful words dear poet)
thanks for a sharing such, an unflinchingly transparent self portrait
(I\'m sorry for your loss, we each handle
the shock of trauma in different ways
no such thing as \'the\' right way, at least in my eyes)

Twas fortnight before inspection 2021...,
L. B. Mek said:

I was completely lost from start to finish, what a literary ride! lol
reminds me of teenage nights after a few to many beers (UK) - where reality blurs incessantly, between eureka discovery and ridiculous hilarity

Matty Mattel Doll circa MCMLXV
L. B. Mek said:

a fun read, as ever dear poet
(but the mention of your sister, reminded me
that one of them was going through a challenging time
hope all - is as hopeful, as it can be)

Whoami? Within following figurative nutshell:
L. B. Mek said:

dear friend I must say \'you sure do put that dictionary to good use\'
this be my humble: thank you, for sharing such a fun read! lol
\'A garden variety (generic) agrarian wannabe
antiauthoritarian, bookish antiquarian bloke,
antitotalitarian, well mannered barbarian
disestablishmentarian, egalitarian, futilitarian,
grammarian, quasi hereditarian, latitudinarian,
libertarian, majoritarian, nonsectarian,
nonvegetarian, proletarian, sexagenarian,
Unitarian.\'
indeed, let us overcome our tick-box reality\'s, oppressive society
by ticking all the boxes - simultaneously
and watch those global human-resource departments
reign of PC - Dictatorship: self-combust - unilaterally, lol

Reckoning with lifelong despair
L. B. Mek said:

\'Like a tumbleweed
aimlessly blowing in the wind
across infinitely wobegon open wide
prairie home companion land
(which wasteland famously
epitomized by T.S. Eliot),
a barren vista ravages
metaphorical landscape
of one measly mortal malcontent male
bumping and scraping\'..
there is an openness quality to your write\'s that makes them feel conversational in tone, yet a second glimpse and one can easily identify that innate talent of a wordsmith to actualise his thought\'s within worded artform and bring to life imagery that transcends mere relatability or crisp metaphor cinematic brevity, conveying sentiments and messages that are nuanced yet still, very much: matter of fact, in style and delivery..
thanks for sharing dear poet, a great read and kinda cool to know you\'re using writing as a tool for self healing

Generic germane groveling guy still wallows in Weltschmerz
L. B. Mek said:

\'furlough afflicts populations feeling betrayed
entire fabric Homo sapiens staid
threadbare existence now best describes
chock full of endemic ennui proliferates\'..
words that perfectly summarise this covid nightmare experience, for us lowly majority..
while demonstrating the collective bravery and dignity that remains in the majority of humanity, for finding a way to navigate this potentially cataclysmic threat, to our very existence - let alone, \'way of life\'..
insightful and tempered commentary with historical context, a good read

Das fuhrer Donald Trump returns with a vengeance
Barry Hodges said:

Der Führer (note the umlaut on the U, not der not das, note the capital F) please. People who speak not a word of German should think before they use German words.

The rest of it is rubbish, although you mean well.

Das fuhrer Donald Trump returns with a vengeance
L. B. Mek said:

the very title and picture included in this work exemplifies just how successfully we have allowed the narrative of politics to segregate and exploit divisions of hate between our fellow humans, exactly where do we think this will all end, if we continue to let totalitarian liberalism oppress us?
In a time when unity is needed most, where population growth is threatening our extinction ahead of nature\'s wrath, we give ever-diminishing space for the logic of the centre to prevail...
why must we go from conservative archaic mindsets of blind fear to any form of change, to its extreme opposite of leftist zealotry where facts and reason are side-lined in the face of emotional tribalism?
how: in this age of globalised exchange of information do we allow ourselves to be corrupted and manipulated with such ease?
when are we going to understand, the more we perpetuate this message of division that the media profits from, we dictate a future where generation\'s are born into the same rhetoric of divisive hate...
when will we ever end this cyclical nature for self-destruction, what - a century too long between world wars?
we need a few million more soldiers dead to re-realise democracy is our escape from that to-from of conquerors and their legacies of conquered sandhill dreams?
truly, I just can\'t understand
the very reason that caricature puppet gained legitimacy is by the media cornering half of its own nation with belittling and defamatory headlines, day after day?
exactly what is the point of this pantomime villain finger pointing antics we are buying into?
cause it makes us feel better to point and laugh like the world is our schoolyard play ground and bullying is ok as long as its not done to us or those we care about?
what is this endless need for depthless regression we are questing, why?
because if we don\'t, \'they\' will take over?
are they not also part of your nation, instead of demonised and marginalising should we not be striving for a middle ground of preservation, to that ideal of democratic conversation, between all and for all!
just so sad, to witness us retrace those steps to division and hate
yes Trump is at fault! but we Fuel his very legitimacy by spewing all this collective hate for a political party, that consists: of as many diverse members as there is - in your very own chosen party, so why is it ok for us to do so?
I agree completely, we must Fight, against whatever underhanded divisive methods Trump and those minority in his party, want to utilise to force their archaic mindsets upon us, but
we can not allow them to corrupt our very sensibility\'s and submit willingly to the realisation of that segregated existence they want to manifest into our everyday reality.
Democracy must value unity and respect for humanity: above all ese, or else why bother to pretend?
Let\'s just wage wars like our forefathers did, let our fate\'s be decided by weapons of mass destruction, that\'s where all this biased rhetoric is headed anyway
I mean why else did my own UK government just order MORE nuclear weapons last month
retracting their promise to REDUCE the stockpile they already had...
yeah, its just opinions and words, sure: let\'s not overreact, what do we care anyway
we won\'t be around to see it all burn to the ground, right?
Just so sad, how unbelievable pathetic we allow ourselves to be...

April 9th, 2021 birthday poem for dearly departed papa
L. B. Mek said:

biography inked with eloquence of a devotee\'s, worded brevity for a treasured life
with love dripping unfiltered and proud, from each line
a dedication birthing a smile - somewhere: bursting, with pride!..
just a great read, thank you for sharing dear poet
I\'m sorry for your loss
\'by keeping our love pulsing bright
within each treasured memory
we insure their legacies
remain a shining beacon of solace
as they, would have wanted it to be\'

Pelted with pistachio shells April 3rd, 2021
L. B. Mek said:

\'Machinations of maniacs loose ill will
figuratively unhinged Homo sapiens
destroy webbed fabric of civilization
domestic hate crimes on the rise
homegrown terrorism beget
vile killing rampages which proliferate
courtesy easy access to guns\'..
Amen!
(and no! Guns are not \'our\' problem - solely
more so: our devaluation of a life\'s worth
by attributing its value
to the ease at which we can vanquish
at a mere fingers - squeeze...
which bares the question
are we all then nature coded
to murder and conquer
or do we all: pathetically, choose
to pull triggers and welcome the ease
of death\'s certainty as silencing solutions
to those pesky hurdles in our lives...
why bother to self-educate and articulate
our perspective\'s, arguments and beliefs
using ammunition of factual veracity
when we can warp mind\'s with propaganda
weaponize our general public
with falsehoods and misdirection tricks
then sit back and judge: as they carry out
acts of fear inflamed violence...
then write articles about hate
so we maximise our profits
from enabled dastardly deeds
while lighting candles and holdings hands
asking: \'how can this be?
for the umpteenth time in any given season
year on year, season after season...
yes, lets hide behind Orwell\'s 1984 - fiction
and blame it all on those governments
and armies, that together: worldwide
make up, but 10% of earths population
indeed, we are but helpless victims
of nature, of bequeathed consequence, of fate
of casted votes, of taxes paid, of funded media - !!OUTRAGE!!
with hands tied by our own strings
of ineptitude and wilful ignorance...!\')

April fools\' day - (ordinarily) all manner of tomfoolery abounds
L. B. Mek said:

\'among people emotionally crippled
pasty faced and pale
finds quivering Captain Kangaroo
plus good n plenti proud primates
each dancing and quivering
like a captive quail.\'

\'man/womankind flicked as flotsam and jetsam
vile treatment diabolically heaped,
jubilantly loosed, maniacally pitched
upon her terrestrial firma oy vey
she chokes, gags, laughs raspily yea
rebuffs, refuses, and renounces further abuse.\'

\'germinating, jackknifing, and wreaking havoc
Mother Earth nonchalantly toying
(indiscriminately) regarding humanity
as bestrewing bajillion biohazards berserkly
bequeathing bedlam child\'s play
just desserts, she doth understandably repay\'

\'Pandemic straps tightly plied girded beltway
unlike any other All fools day
in annals of recorded (\"fake\") history
western civilization tapestry doth fray
April first two thousand and twenty one
neigh, no time for horseplay\'..
(such a sobering read
but still, infused with enough
of your light-hearted signature approach, I think
thanks for sharing dear Poet)

Breach of confidentiality induces asphyxiation
L. B. Mek said:

\'Far from human league,
(more\'n mark twain fathoms
into deep purple troubled waters)
I flounder amidst flotsam and jetsam
mankind receding toward lost horizon adios
at sea within Lake lachrymose
moody blue foo fighting
wretched beastie boy feels morose.

Subsequent diminution to write,
nevertheless mustered
aforementioned reasonable rhyme
attempting to describe psychological plight
thru arranging words, I take flight.\'
this words dictate
that collective helpless feel of fate
fuelled by our society\'s chaotic state..
oh when will Auden\'s \'age of anxiety\': simply dissipate!

Raw bits of heavenly tasty healing power...

I recommend you look up video/lyrics to \'I loved her first\' by Heartland..
thanks for choosing to share such an intimate write, dear poet

Genesis resplendent to me – a garden of Eden resident atheist
L. B. Mek said:

(forgive me for daring to rearrange your verses dear poet, I mean no disrespect, just wanted to demonstrate what I read when finding a connection with your genius words\'..
* \'no longer assuage auditory and
visual sense pleasures respectively
serve as psychic balm against global threat
of life, liberty and happiness triage psalm
rampant forming diabolical deliberate deeds
bred deeply rooted soiled hatred
kudzu resistance asphyxiates human camaraderie
democratic state attacked with no qualm\'

\'and funereal sounds galore
idyllic melodic musical sounds compete
against backdrop clanging din
artist palette of rainbow blended spectral views,\'

\'thus hands cupped
visor like impinged
whatsapp blinking instagram
reduced vision bolsters hear
ring to increase decibel
(home on the) range
prodigious symphonic production
issuing verdant pastoral themes\'

\'billow and flow across terra firma
hallowed ground made sanctimonious
immaculate mother earth conception
synchronized in symphony with terrestrial
fauna and flora, which life forms abound,
via natural laboratory called Mother Earth\'

\'Avast abundance of life forms
doth snapchat and buzzfeed
a motley fool of indiscriminate creed
resembled yours truly freed
from those scrambling greed\'

Paterfamilias gone since October 7th, 2020
L. B. Mek said:

realising we\'re lost is half-way to us finding what we truly need or want, so - you know:
\'just smash that half filled cup
and you\'ll have a full reservoir
to drink from!\'
well kinda, and probably some bloody lips
but that\'s just life in a way, right?
\'stay safe and sound playing it careful with life, half full
or bloody lipped
and surpassing your wildest ambitions and discovering ever-more challenging aspirations\'
I\'m not sure, in a way
they both sound kinda good
if: you\'re just thirsting
for a life with meaning...

Spring equinox arrived March 20th, 2021 at 5:37 AM
L. B. Mek said:

\'prestidigitation delivering cathartic holistic
and poetic botanical balms,
which salve (age long in the tooth)
psychological wounds.\'
of all your brilliant traits, dear talented wordsmith
I treasure - your appreciation, for innovative word and syntax choices: the most!
language \'trickery\' at its delectable best (though thankfully dumbed-down, enough for us mere mortals to appreciate),
and more lock, stock of pleasant barrels offered, noted and fully appreciated, dear poet

Coronavirus microbe (COVID-19) begat... heebie jeebies couple months before March 15th, 2020
L. B. Mek said:

your sobering last stanza accompanied by seemingly exponential homeless figures in first world cities, just brings up that harrowing realisation:
if its this bad here, how much worse in the rest of the world? and why is no one talking about it?

March 18th, 2021 04:22

Just for the sake of saying \"hello\"
L. B. Mek said:

and what a convincingly argued vow, dear poet..
I too agree we seldom recollect those brief opportunities we neglect, to connect with others who seem approachable or more miraculously: friendly
usually, its because we were busy or distracted like yourself, but at a more metaphysical level, I assume the continuous propaganda of tabloid fuelled dramatic actions of society\'s crazy individuals, has taken over the mainstream - mindset, perspective: as generic society\'s go-to state, hence
we are a little apprehensive in our dealings with \'relative\' strangers..
from a survival perspective, not a bad thing at all, but in contrast we do end-up sacrificing some opportunity for greater intermingling of local communities..
and this set of lines were just brilliant btw:
\' (by Dickens) with little
or no great expectations
motivates me to risk
playing game of life no joke,
but good humor a masterstroke,\'
