This is fine poetry, Paul; gloomy yes perhaps, but I can relate to it. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and peace to you,

Regis

Dearest Paul,

Powerful, very emotive. Mr Gloomy indeed :P lol

Exceptional work as always

Much love and warm hugs sweet friend.

Paul this is excellent deep but direct so simple as the worlds views are. Ty for this MAD

A very strong portrait of the kind of officially sanctioned madness that too often passes for civil authority in the modern world. Clean, brilliant, and provocative lines.

Great visual, masterful prose, Paul!
Peace,
Carolyn

You ARE turning into Robbie Williams, Jekyll and Hyde... all with the silver tongue and the suave DJs... well, you know me... I'll be singing "My Way" ALL the way!! I liked very much the peculiarity of weaving the delicacy of shoeing fairies into this kettle-drum cauldron of a write, Paul and the visual conjures the mood magnificently. Very much a Midsummer Night's... Nightmare!! Electric, thank you! Kate xx

paul,..you are a brilliant artist with aweosme takent
and this is Exceptionally well done!
peace',

Match..England V the AUSSIES..Huh we set them alight..
Funny old boy this is kinda dark in a light kinda way...

All I can say is BRAVO. " to be born again, in light, a deterrent undercut. Magnificient write. Mikii

i'm with robin - and i rather like the idea of a brief, happy death :)

I agree with Eileen, Paul - this is your forte! Quite a graphic, too.

i like the eliptisms & sharp alternating shifts & economic use of vocabulary making chosen forms stand out saludos

meticulously crafted images invoking an atmosphere of remarkable moments ...

Captivating, and I really look forward to more, I love this stuff and you do it so well! Kudo's!

Eileen

Great work, indeed!

It's a MAD <MAD>MAD>World we live in!!

The picture complements the poem very well Chuckie!!

Love Tinka

An absolutely enthralling and original piece Paul
Very cleverly executed in that you feel you are reading five poems or aligned haikus rolled up into one
I love that dynamic line " Fail- Safe is the watchword !
Incredible picture blurs your vision !
You should post more my friend, and develope your cutting edge, and treat us to more of your earthy writes !

OH Paul! This is the money line--->"An anvil for shoeing fairies"
This is just so visual, throwing sparks! Lilliputian feet and striking flint to shoe them. Dr Strangelove indeed! I have a horseshoe I painted gold. It is said that a horseshoe should always be turned down, with the spikes pointing outward so one's luck won't fall. I have mine hanging just this way over my bedroom door. Works! The faeries/fairys visit me in my dreams. I really like this! The pic works its MAD to promote the poem. Excellent apocalyptic depiction.
