A bookish bound man obsessed for knowledge crafts long poem
L. B. Mek said:

\'thus unwittingly setting alight
an intense inquisitiveness sans\'

\'I chose an arbitrary hue\'

\'(sprouting within Ziegfeld Follies
like tender brownian growth -
thread wide spindles in the case of myself),

I certainly experienced, invited
and measured quantifiable uptick\'

\'allowed, enabled and provided
a pronounced ability,\'
(and what, Ability!!!)
reading is mere stepping stones
as beyond the vacuuming of alphabetical
ephemeral, factoids
exists, that true calling
of unfurling
our complex
perceptions, inferences and
experience-aged: opinions;
in a manner, relatable and accessible
to our fellow, questor\'s of insight
into wisdom\'s curtains
or as T.S. Eliot worded so succinct
\'And to shake
the tattered arras, woven
with a silent motto.\'
(from \'East Coker\' of his poetic classic
\'Four Quartets\')
as-in
to look beyond, aesthetics of reality
to that, veracity ink
of a mind\'s, introspected-upon \'Epiphany\'..
(thanks for sharing!)

ONE ALARM FIRE at Highland Manor Apartments
L. B. Mek said:

\'a feeble embellishment
which poetic effort reflects retread
of tired and worn writing techniques.\'
I bow to anyone who can squeeze
this amount of words
when writing about, a single fire alarm incident
lol
oh and
\'figurative, modus operandi\'
maybe the greatest oxymoron phrasing
I\'ve read yet..
(I can just imagine that conversation:
\'what, how you mean?\'
\'what!\'
\'how you mean, Figurative?\'
\'huh - figurative, you know..\'
\'No!, help me here\'
\'you know, like a figurative
erm - window display..\'
\'like, a figurative
window display.. you say\'
\'yeah, why? what\'
\'If your MO, is merely erm
a figurative, window display
as-in
a non existent, in reality
conceptual, entity
designed to attract, peoples attention
by, erm
being, literally invisible..
Why bother, to have it exist
in Figurative from, at all!\'
\'cos, dude! don\'t you get it?\'
\'NO! Help - me..\'
\'look, see
if its figurative, it exists right
and so technically
I\'m on my way to realising it, into reality, so
if anyone asks, I\'m literally
on it!.. yeah, somi\'n like that\'
\'Dude!?\'
\'Yeah?\'
\'it will still be the same, without
adding the figurative word
an MO in progress of formulation..\'
\'Yeah, but that\'s like so many more words
I prefer a figurative modus operandi..!\'
\'cool, makes sense\'
\'right?\'
\'NO!\'
\'oh,,, wateva, works for me\'
...
lmao!)

as-ever a fun read, good luck

dear \'Victorian-era at heart\', poet..

\'elusive notions that flit

\'Likewise crafting (albeit painstakingly)\'

I so agree!

Unsolved criminal mystery...modest prevarication
Bella Shepard said:

It sounds like you had quite a traumatic experience, and have presented it most memorably in this poem. Had something a little similar happen 47 years ago. While returning home from grocery shopping our car was pulled over by a police officer. Husband, wife and 2 very small children in the back seat, mystified. We were told a tail light was out. Cop checked my husband\'s ID and radioed in to find that someone with the identical name was wanted for armed robbery and possession of stolen goods. A trip to the station for my husband, while I drove home, 2 crying kids looking out the back window, mystified. After 2 hours of waiting and checking at the station, it was determined that they had the wrong guy, and the officer kindly drove my husband home. A different time, a different place. Hope all is well with you!

Suicidal Ideation March 30th, 2022 linkedin...
Bella Shepard said:

I grew up with a father who was bipolar. I can understand what it\'s like to struggle with a sense of helplessness in the face of the suffering of a loved one. I have two granddaughters who have struggled with mental health issues, and I\'ve often wondered if I passed something along genetically. I love them, support them and will always be there for them, but I can\'t cure them. I will always accept them as they are, no matter what. You have expressed very poignantly the condition of living with mental illness. God bless you dear friend.
