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...
L. B. Mek said:

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

Applause for your tribute albeit worded with zesty exuberance to nature\'s kaleidoscope at springtime of year - a most entertaining read.

I espouse playing the baiting game with the missus
L. B. Mek said:

its all fun n games until that favourite aunt\'s gifted fine china is broken, then even bringing out a Greek passport wont be of help..
tread carefully dear thrill seeker

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\'

Puzzling write long read, R4.

Ephemeral online moment...
L. B. Mek said:

\'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
black and white Roman Times newsreel\'..
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

March 4th, 2021 06:12

Friendly pirate wannabe flies his Jolly Roger...
L. B. Mek said:

such an immersive read, had me googling words every other line lol, but well worth the effort in my humble opinion..
oh and \'dogsend\'
is my kinda genius, forgive me but I\'m gonna have to borrow that one, 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!

Severely withdrawn as a doggone lad...
L. B. Mek said:

or simply read first few chapters of Proust\'s: \'In Search of Lost Time\', that will soon have you snoring an accompaniment to your ballad of dreams..
stay strong dear Poet, early days yet - stamina is an essential element to our survival of such ordeal\'s,
thanks for sharing

Grim reaper scion donned as nodule on lung...
L. B. Mek said:

I\'m so sorry to read, I imagine your sister will need those close to her at this turbulent time, I pray she can recover..
continuing our everyday routines/actions is a healthy way to try and cope, especially if instead of escape you\'re attempting to confront and contemplate those raw feeling\'s you\'re experiencing,
stay strong: if not for you, then for her

Grim reaper scion donned as nodule on lung...
AwHec8 said:

Most don\'t know or understand the plight of someone who has trouble breathing a common type breath. To gasp for oxygen like you can\'t catch your first breath much less get your second wind. Reading this caused a pause in myself to feel that gasping breath, as I have so many times before. Don

I experience inappetence, yet nevertheless hunger for victuals
L. B. Mek said:

worth reading just to help my vocabulary grow, however slowly..
\'quixotic\' a read, this definitely ain\'t! lol

The missus brings me high test coffee...
L. B. Mek said:

fun read, really enjoy how your write\'s just plunge-in shoes first, and we readers are left dog paddling your inked rivers of insightful musings lol
\'testosterone
bin laden well nigh
erupting pistol
(stay man)\'

Good news came my way today February 21, 2021 courtesy late father
L. B. Mek said:

\'divided three ways
bequeathed to yours truly
and my two non-twisted sisters.\'

\'a financial life raft
I will devotedly and blessedly cling.\'

\'Figurative dark shadow ameliorate
I must, cuz unpaid charges create
unnecessary uneasiness and emasculate
like invisible fetters tellingly generate
principal abuzz with interest initiate
tingling goosebumps think back,
when Iraq invaded Kuwait.\'..

congratulations, firstly on having \'non\' twisted sisters: that\'s more unlikely that the windfall you celebrate, or else like most you would\'ve been rhyming about a court case.. (poor Spinoza) lol
a fun read, thanks for sharing enjoy your good \'fortune\'

Anticlimactic mood after February 18th, 2021 snow storm subsided
L. B. Mek said:

\'coaxing poem into existence
unsure how literary endeavor
(mine) will thrive
amidst well suited
panoply of prolific writers,
whose unseen fingers
hop lightly and gracefully
across qwerty computer keyboard
akin to heavy armed soldiers
with fearlessness and deliberation
heading off to war to acquire poetic license.\'
forget mere \'thrive\', you sir: soar unmasking lanes we never knew existed, with that unique style and your insistence to breathe art into life\'s everyday - dreary!
I for one, look forward to your next share dear poet, every time

February 19th, 2021 06:24

Late morning today (February 17, 2021)
L. B. Mek said:

you must be such a great conversationalist..
as dry as it can get and yet, a warming depiction of realism
yes, truly - imbued within your words is the art: to living!
thank you for sharing:
\'both of us essentially undertook round trip
to Schwenksville and back
without rhyme nor reason.

Subsequently, an idea dawned\'
behold dear poet:
\'your reason - in rhyme, no less\'...
