Sin of sixpence

That's something! xoxo

Hullo, welcome

thanks muchly

Loved it.  Sometimes I water a cactus just for the helluva it.

Hullo

you are a true rebel, good fellow. and thank you for dropping in and leaving your thoughts

hey there Craic i'm wondering if there isn't some deeper meaning to the cactus needing water and the need of handy a pair of lips..    
   
I like the honesty of this write immensely..    
   
love the way you describe getting older with unflinching truth..  
   
sick from the want of it hmm you got me pondering..  
   
excellent..  
   
love Crim

Hullo

tried something different here,  you're not wrong, neither is the lady below you. you're fairly tuned into  my thinkings  ...dunno whether that's scary or not heh heh

cheers lady, much appreciated

I sit here laughing...this poem, this wee story, is so, so good Eamonn...so much in it...
Each time i read it I read something else...think you could put it under erotica also or is it just my mind...lol... ;-)

Hullo

Jaysus. .you're one sick individual, lady. that said, on re-read I can see its fairly blatent. tried to get a better balance, but happy enough I suppose.

also happy to put a smile on your face. cheers for the drop -by and  thoughts

Yes Seekingkate conveyed exactly what I wanted
but she pondered it perfectly

O'goodness, and this why I adore you much
..your raw honesty, intellect and humour  ;)


-Howlings

Hullo to you

ahh, you're very kind, lady  ...though I don't deny the qualities you've listed heh heh

thanks bunches for your thoughts

I have no constructive advice. However, there's not enough humor in poetry and I damn near p*ssed myself laughing when I read this... and for that, I thanks ya.

👍🏻

Hullo

..I wish people would stop laughing at my pain. that said, happy to put a chuckle into your belly, lady

good to see you knocking around the place again, Missy. and thank you for dropping by while you're knocking

.

Hullo, good morning

thanks. this one was looking to be written for a while. couldn't find the right words till I happened upon the three word thread. then, having written it, I changed the three words cos I didn't think they fit

you're very thanked for your presence and words. and indeed the trilogy which you have bestowed upon me

have a good day

It got me thinking that
it takes some time for a balloon to
deflate on its own
without being popped -
that, and cactus are succulent..  

Very good write,  I enjoyed it.  :)

Hullo

nice that you can focus on the silver
linings. must agree cacti are like you say, succlulent

fabulous to have you visit my humble ramblings, and thank for it and your words

As insightful as ever, E.

Hullo

very kind of you to drop in and say, Ophie.  thanks bunches

Ha,I feel like an ancient mariner squinting at a sea chart for sunken treasure but only finding spent balloons and pricks . Seriously thought this is a very fine piece with wonderful depth, Eamonn.  

Tony, Hullo man

Had a poem-booklet thing titled Rime of the anciant mariner ..S Coldrage ( or something similar ) damn decent stuff

thanks man,  scales were tipped in the other direction I think, so p'raps the squinting done wonders for my talent heh heh

good to see you, man. thanks for words and presence

a limp spent spectical? intentional? because it's driving me nuts.

Hullo, good sir

would you believe it was pointed out to me, I had a look, clicked on edit ..and forgot

all sorted now, opollogies for the madness

A viciously fitting comparison, E. I love how concisely and matter-of-fact you deal with some very complex truths.

Mike

how're you doing, man. I look out for you in the medical journals whenever I find myself in a doctor's waiting room.  

this is the kind of stuff I enjoy. it's the stuff I don't have to think too much about. the kind of stuff I don't know I've enjoyed until it's apparent I should have enjoyed it but didn't. its better than sex ..and the same as it too

good to see you around, man. and even gooder to read your comment

thanks much, man

Hullo

and thanks for the link. I waited, and was not dissaponted

cheers muchingly for stopping by and laying down your words, good person

This is a very well-crafted piece of free verse, complete in its narrative and with strong thematic elements and images. It's humorous, and also subtly meaningful in the borderline pathetic-fallacy of the lonely cactus. Thank you for the read.

Hullo, brother from another planet

very kind of you to say, squire. more-so to have dropped in to say it in the first case.

( thanks for cummin )

"Thanks for cummin"

Is that your crude, childish attempt to curry favour with me via seduction?

Because it's working... xxx

That's right lepp, never take the chance.
Always take care of your pets, if you have a cactus, water it.
I myself have a monkey, it plays up sometimes so just to be on the safe side I discipline it every night.
Just to be sure, y'know?

once you didn't name your monkey Bubbles :) , but yes, discipline ! plenty of hard time

good to see you around, Batgirl

Thank you for the inspiration.  

Hullo

very welcome,  good sir

Well done. best wishes. Moog.

Hullo

thank you. same to you. Eamonn

also thanks for dropping by and leaving your thought print

You seem to be a very whimsical and free spirited soul!!! Even in your criticism of poetry... (and apparently you enjoy a nice play on words) I think I rather enjoy the breath of fresh air that you bring to your work... That you just bring period 😁

Hullo

many thanks for your visit and thoughts. I suppose it depends what kind of form I'm in, but I do try inject some sort of humour ..cos life is such

thanks heaps and bunches

I use the same phrase... Only I use "such is life"

..ah,  yes. I mix it up a bit. could say IT one way one day and the other way the next, cos such is life :)`

I interpret this to be a compelling metaphor for attributes of time!

Jazz,   Hullo to you, I think you've interpreted it with good result, as per and as per, I missed your comment. please accept my humble opollogies. and thank you for dropping by and leaving your thoughts much appreciated, man

Delightful Kexby

Burns my throat all the way down.

Yours,
LostGirl
