Respect.

You can\'t earn respect behind a screen or phone, you have to meet and get to know people for respect to be there, very valid write

Respect.
sorenbarrett said:

Yes Andy the world changes and not always for the best. A world of social distancing, fragmentation, frustration, a breakdown in values, resentment of power, where authority is viewed the enemy. A good read Andy

Good write Gold. Yes, not even a thank you or \'ta muchly\' - sometimes just a grunt.

To respect unconditionally is the goal… old or youth… if it is righteous then respect follows… great poem

Because people no longer care as we now live in a non face to face environment, we live in a world behind screens and even young parents of today give new born babies i-pads in their buggies rather than sing a sweet song. I have worked with young children all my life and still do, I see the parenting differences, but that just my personal opinion. 🌹

Ode To An Olive.
Bella Shepard said:

I have to say Andy, this poem is a most sensual delight, your love affair with the olive. When I was a child I was always fascinated by the pimento in the green olive. I didn\'t like them then, but love them now. I can also rememeber putting black olives on my fingertips and eating them one at a time. It make me laugh to see my grandchildren doing the same thing. A great write my friend!

A Sonnet For Your Fiftieth Year.
Priya Tomar said:

Wordsworth - poet of nature.
He worshipped nature.
Tennyson\'s nature is \" red in tooth and claw \"
If your poetry has metaphors , imagery similar to Romantic poets, Really you are a great poet , born poet
Indian poet R K Ramanujan\' s poetry famous for socio- cultural themes.
If your poetry has scent of cultural flowers , your poetry depicts your versatille genius ....

You provided a good ,complete analysis. You highlighted social relationship in the age of social media
Good job
Very well

However you have improved their image here, Andy.

Your poem captures a simple but profound truth—that happiness isn’t about having everything, but about appreciating what you already have. Very nicely written!!!!

A lot of folk would like to be \'happy\' like Mr Dodd - naughty, not paying taxes. Of course, he would sing \'Happiness\'. Doh!
