Discretion's Hand

ahh, my eyes my eyes, turn it off :)

course I got to save this one. I'll try be as unbiased as possible.

Some years ago circumstance dictated that police forensics made a kind of mannequin of me and put clothes belonging to me on it, it felt weird to see me like that.

this poem is like that, but in a much better way.

Thank you most kindly dear Lady for this. It's wonderful to read, I like how you start off with a philosophy of sorts then personalize it with the last stanza.

shine on, missus, shine like an arc light    

I'm glad you like it - pop some shades on, be cool... Easy enough for DU's favorite lepperochan.

Tis an observation, wrapped in a poem, noted and shared...

(I'll drag that police story out of you, sooner or later. Wth, mannequin? lol)

Craic, that mannequin you're speaking of, I heard its at Madame Tussauds' museum now ;)  Looking good with the shades on ;)

haha, ..you're thinking of Bono, Vee :)

Turns of elegance with a firm grip on the poetic canons

Thank you, whale, for the poetic comment.

Hear hear and a cheer-cryptic but sentiment shows-fine Write to a fine lad!!!

First agreement, pretty sure he'll survive the comments... ;)

Thank you, Soul.

Dedicated to a poet I love great write Atakti.. much love Crim :)

Yeah, Crim, he has his way with words, and I'm glad he's still knocking around DU. Cheers!

:)

He is a darlin' man ... good to see him get recognition in such a perfectly poetical way...

Oh, hey, Craic, the poem was worth it for the comments, eh?

Yes, Petit, a bit of recognition does a world of good, thank you.

Atakti, He's a legend and you captured it all in this wonderful poem! :)

Oh, boy, we'll have to widen the doors for Craic's head, hahaha.

Thank you, Vee.

:)

Wow! Your ink on this is great in every way. These lines sealed this magnificent piece, " chivalry is dismissed as out-dated. We could break it down to gestures and psychology, but the radiance of a sunrise isn't examined under microscopes." Brilliant!

I'm glad you liked it, particularly that part - thank you, El Baby!

Always amazed how you are a shape shifter, Atakti!
You always renew your poems and come up with something else, this one is a sharp observation!

Aww, thank you, Mouganna, humbled by your words...

Where I come from we don't beat around the bush with fancy words and philosophical mumbo-jumbo... we just buy the guy a beer at the pub for being a "top bloke."

Great tribute to a top bloke, Atakti!!!

You're right, Case, I guess I owe Craic a beer... Thanks!
