But Is It Poetry?
Jerry Reynolds said:
The mind does not create in a vacuum; it comes from a place in your heart. You can express it in strict Iambic or loose iambic.
Some will get it, some will not.

I think that\'s the question we all ask from time to time as poets. We know our talent, our art, our creativity. So yes, it\'s usually poetry. Compelling piece.

Art is such an individual thing, it is a form of beauty and is in the eye of the beholder. So many biases we all have and prejudice dirties the eye. Well said Andy

The Rubbish Heap.
Jerry Reynolds said:
A fine write, Andy. Subtle enough to be rad at a White House press briefing. Well done.

Paul Bell said:
The rubbish heapers will always be at your beck and call, life dictates this now.
In saying that, the meek will inherit the earth, I\'m told.

Thinly vailed this poem reveals in its satire a would be monarch that shows no regard for his subjects and is out of time and place. Well done Gold beware England knows well what such rulers are capable of and none of it is good for the common man. I like this poem Andy

Good write Gold. There\'s a Folk Group I used to go to. Sometimes with Guest singers, solo or group; sometimes \'Free Evenings\' when group members could read a poem, etc, or even sing. Argh! I sang and frightened them all off. They dreaded the Free Evenings cos they knew I would turn up and sing! heehee.

Both evoked very good memories, rich with nostalgia and almost reduced me to tears Andy. As a founder member of CAMRA, I\'d settle for a pint of London Pride right now.
Sad that those warm homely pubs have largely been taken over by the large chains.

The Pub, the most important building you\'ll ever enter, it will shape your life.
You might meet your future wife, new friends, chancers, they\'ll all be there.
The lock in is the best part of pub life, you know you\'ve arrived then.

Andy with this piece I half expected Billy Joel\'s The Piano Man to be the music. A great walk down memory lane to what used to be and those good old days. A treat my friend

I grew up in these type pubs, no fancy thrills just real people and I remember Christmas was always special, I used to go to the George in Twickenham, I used to hang out with the rugby lads too, good times when pubs were no thrills welcoming the public as if we were family. Great write, now my memories are all coming back. 🌹

Being Alive Each Day.
Teddy.15 said:
Something I truly believe, don\'t put off until tomorrow something you can do today. A wonderful wise piece. Of course easier said than done in life\'s traffic jams but certainly a philosophy to be enjoyed. 🌹
