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!

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...

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,\'

S\'more sprawling poppycock
L. B. Mek said:

\'figurative slate
lame resultant impasse I narrate
experiencing disappointment
earlier spurt of balderdash,
gibberish, rubbish... which I hate
yet must suffice impossible mission
to complete satisfactory poem does agitate.\'
well, then dear poet - next time, just finish your write later, no such thing as time constraints within poetry\'s sea of limitless creativity, lol
and lock, stock and \'two smoking\' barrels, is one of my fav\'s, so you get immense kudos for finding a fit for that mouthful in your rhyming flow

Revelations about Dad’s infamous midnight lectures... woke up courtesy therapy
L. B. Mek said:

\'telltale toxin did glow
yes dear reader cumulative wrath – hello
synopsis I invite thee to know
why self esteem within me so low
lackluster love life accentuated
cuz yours truly
never kissed under mistletoe\'..
seldom is our memory of childhood all rosy, but some have to endure a sharp incline on those first few steps upon life\'s uneven path
and often, with little guidance to help map survival\'s route to adulthoods, fruits..
a poignant and brave write, dear poet
showcasing your styles flexibility..
thank you for choosing to share your unquestionable talent with us

Bullseye! The frisky spouse accidentally and nearly blinded me
L. B. Mek said:

\'toward she, yours truly did marry,
I nearly subjected mine flesh to harakiri.\'

\'Within flash doggone mailer daemon
(inside me noggin) became docile as a whelp.\'

\'nsync with mine jammed cognitive gear
linkedin with rational thinking\'

\'prompting rhetorical question pertaining
to trying circumstances human err
well I could (lamely) blame outburst
on prominent solar flare\'..
seriously, if Hollywood could convince someone with your scalpel-sharp wit to write comedies,
they wouldn\'t need to combine the word with other genres (dramedy, romcom etc)..
hilarious! and a meaningful lesson for all married men

Personal productivity measured courtesy...
L. B. Mek said:

a time for everything, if - we\'re granted the luck of a fulfilling life, even a time for muscles to ease their tensioned existence, see
every marathon has its lulls dear poet:
\'feels glum,
cuz I would qualify
mine existence as humdrum
hence quite envious at well deserved income\'

\'Yours truly plagiarizes himself with zeal
courtesy mental cogs and rusty wheel,
thus no literary crime committed to steel
I broadcast material shown thru rickety

zeal, steel, newsreel: a stanza crafted by poetic genius! in my humble opinion dear poet,
another great read!

After our outing at Liberty Ministries
L. B. Mek said:

\'and absorbed daily dose of Vitamin D
while secretly ensconced
within favorite nook\'

\'the majority years, sans this prolific
recalcitrant scrivener lived
in various and sundry abode\'

\'who entered and did break on thru
doors of fame and fortune
becoming out of this world legendary
rock and roll icon,\'..
a themed write of gateways to subtle gifts, hidden within reverie\'s dreams,
yours, your book author\'s and my feeble role as the consuming reader of your immersive words..
exemplifying literature\'s capacity to surpass those boundaries of society, distance or even time, itself..
a wonderful write, in my humble opinion dear poet

Greetings from Schwenksville, Pennsylvania today March 1st, 2021
L. B. Mek said:

\'analogous to catacomb
amid Highland Manor Apartments
I dwell - our livingsocial hole in the wall
among grateful dead residents
facility likened to metaphorical tomb
each stone individually moved one at a time
courtesy hearty and hale archeologists
resident to *Qom\'..
fantastic utilisation of imagery and simile\'s, with metaphorical symbolism pushed to its extreme..

\'yours truly deserted and he gypped
thee while crawling
across Sahara during nighttime
dehydration subsequently
found me tight lipped
I called Uber, but could not get a lyft.\'
simply, hilarious!
