Friendly Response….

Doggerel Dave

So Friendship persuades the need for a hug;

I would if I knew who I was hugging.

My response here made not so much to bug

But let her know I knew what she was doing.

 

A private message told me I was missed;

Though such sentiments could almost have won,

To reply with her true name was a twist…

Blocked me again - so poets here can have fun?

                      ***

"Notice of absence from Friendship (posted 29/8/25)
Going away on vacation."

What, again? - "Parting is such sweet sorrow" 😂🤣

    Ah, but ahem, caveat first: my extreme lack of sleep painfully eliminates my ability to think clearly, even when filling the pot for tea an hour or so ago. That said, you blocked her?! She's actually nice. I still tag after the poets/poetess who blocked me nearly a year ago now. It's the "happy" reality of this medium. Excellently rendered with a haunting poignancy, thank you for sharing.

      No, she blocked me and cleaned out my commentary. I've amended the last line to make that clearer. Thanks for the call and correction, Missy

        Oh Dave you got my private message then, you knew I was missing you. I must of sent it mistakenly under a false name. I really do miss you when you are not around, this place is just not the same.

        • Doggerel Dave

          Don't horseshit, Soren. You will have to do better than that.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Your??? 'huggy' poem has disappeared too........

            • sorenbarrett

              Wow! So many mysteries on this site. I love dogs you know.

              • Doggerel Dave

                The mystery has gone on vacation, so you can bury yourself in metaphor once more.... lol

                There are many games and far too many players... the world is in our loungeroom and for some in the boudoir. Hope you are doing well.

                  Very, thanks Rik.

                      Right now, the weather and all, I'm around fairly frequently.👍

                        'Blocked Again'? More fibre in your diet I think.

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          The kind of supportive advice that keeps this site the vibrant institution it is......

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Enjoy your vacation Dave and see you soon.

                            As you know from Croquet Andy, an individual's best strategies can sometimes be👍prevailed upon by another actor....
