Enjoyed the read. There are meds to take - maybe that should be the title?.

Enjoyed the read."False assumption" puts a different slant on the poem, maybe that should be the title. Don't think you need colorful and colors.

Nice rhythm and rhyme. Maybe line 6 is a bit too long, you really want a shorter word than sacrificed.

Lovely poem. Kids - and Dads - still do fly kites. It's achievement, by the way.

Enjoyed the read. I found the punctuation in the last stanza confusing. Seems like there should be something stronger than a comma after "saint" and no need for a comma after "tree".

Very good. A helpless apathy is most certainly the derired end.

Enjoyed the read. A live audience can be intimidating. I used to do Spoken Word nights until I heard a recording of myself and found that I didn't like the sound of my own voice.

Enjoyed the read. Hot Hands are hand warmers?
What if I freeze to death - offline? - the great anxiety of the age, I suppose.

Thanks Allen. It's meant to be ironic. Some years ago I tried reading the Bhagavad Gita, gave up after about 30 pages, deciding that it, like The Bible, was pretty much to do with turf wars - our guys are no better or worse than theirs.

It's an interesting read, though I don't get any sense of the title's four seasons.

Enjoyed the read. I suppose these kind of relationships, between people who've never met, didn't exist before the Internet. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. It makes me wonder if they supplant other relationships.

Enjoyed the read and the semtiments. The last stanza lets the rest down a bit, perhaps, seems like just a reiteration.

Thanks both. It's about old age, but there's also a lot of sexual innuendo which only minds as dirty as mine would notice.

Enjoyed the poem.
It is the way you carry the weight
of knowing what others do not yet see.
Nice lines.

Good luck with that, I reckon you'll need it. Maybe "steal our time"? And "souls so easily bought"?

I like the 4th stanza very much. It could almost stand alone. You probably mean vaporizes.

The poem could do with a stronger ending, but these lines are excellent-
bled white by the lamprey fog,
Downcast to see the cast down leaves,

Lovely poem.
he likes to hear her dance
like skittles across his heart - great lines.
rises to her eyrie in the sky - do you need "in the sky"?
If tattoo's is a verb then you wouldn't need the apostrophe. But maybe it isn't.

I'm not so sure about anything anymore;

Love that.

I think he's right. There's always a few people who need no provocation, but the rest of us are spurred on by religion, nationalism, idealism. Do you mean posed or poised demeanour?
A posed demeanour would be less convincing, perhaps.

Interesting read, but I think it goes on far too long. For my taste I'd end it on "hard kitchen floors".
