PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

$1.79 per orange.: At little market near me. Came down to $1.69 - definitely headed to the rotten discount bin. If usa did not permit loss deduction to food retailers, prices would fall fast.  ~A~.  

Likewise, I seldom recall: Likewise, I seldom recall dreams. Unless they are nightmares. They seem, too often, to provoke the memory gears to start grinding away.   Seems that your sails have found their latest wind. Nice to celebrate a good day 'out at sea' by pulling the sail down, floating on the calm, laying on the deck and sleeping under the evening stars for a few hours, in a manner of speak. Yes, an out of order rest is often a sign of the best day. Inner peace and satisfaction, I think it is ; ) May it have you nice and fresh for tomorrow : )    

The Uber Tax: . Crashing world economy may be an option for Vlad. Loan payments in default. Did not exoect usa dollars frozen urretrievably. Hmmmm... Russian people know suffering, will share fate of Ukraine, people are condemned with their leader. See post war Germans. usa? We got 4 year comic relief with the orange tupee guy - a distraction while Afghanis suffered (Note: no longer a headline). That's what super powers do, invade and kill and leave mess behind. usa is rusting away and already "senators" talking rebuilding Ukraine. How abiut rebuilding usa? . Unless China gets there first, again on our dime. India lopped a missile at Pakistan (in error?). Now? If we mistep into wwiii, old enemies will look to get revenge for centuries of slanders and scrimmages. Israel as mediator, a hoot! Ask Palestinians. . Imagine a missile hitting New York, Chicago, Detroit (u c what I did there). Or a Tom Clancy book realized. We have a lot to fear; we've been killing children since 1776ish.  1/3 world wants us dead, 1/3 wants our lifestyle, 1/3 are victims of our foreign policies. How did the anti-missile shield invented by Israel shared partially with usa turn out? Anyone? Anyway, Uber rich can pay the bill at 50% tax rate for a year; just vanish a couple of deductions. Clean up the debt - it's what Dems do. The GOP is coming for Biden and his Cadre. . ~A~  

Unplug: . I sleep like two logs - low anxiety, low industry level daily. At 72 and rerired, no  tons of human input. I turn off all electronic devices, radio and tv and listen  to classical music for a week (Recirds LPs. Something soothing, your old album collection (cd's). Unplug. I fast iccasionally too. Flick the mental switch and think in detail of pleasant memories/events. Read humorous literature. Laughter is the best medicine! Go to the library or a museum. Chill, fill mind with spomething calming. Insomniatude is inevitable, but flick the switch in your mind and control ideation. I have a  4am poem - I empathize. . Excellent write on a comman human occurrence. . ~A~ 

Tribute to the bonds friendship, the cage bars of loss,: ..a spotlight on the spinning wheel of mortality.   I am sorry that you've had to see them go. Not knowing them, I can't help but mourn most for your most recently loss. Seems that at least one, if not both your other two friends, died doing things they loved. Your friend Mike died being kept from what he loved. The tragedy of which seems greatest of all, and quite criminal.   A recent study suggests your friend is far from alone, in one sense or another, finding twice as many people have likely died from policy decisions around sars-covi-2 than from the disease itself (not to mention the people who died from the disease but could have been saved if better medical advice and access to various not-so-profitable treatments were given). My dad very possibly was one of them. He was bed ridden in a hospital. My mom, myself, or other family took turns staying with him daily, and watching his medical treatment closely. He could not speak for himself, due to his condition. In March of 2020, the hospital barred us from seeing him, then moved him to a nursing home against my mom's will. We were finally allowed to see him nearly 15 months later, the day he would ultimately die. The funeral home told us that they had never seen bed sores so bad in their 4 decade history as a family business.   Anyway, I mean not to hijack your mournful write, only to share that, in a way, I can relate at least to your latest loss. I think many, many people can. I hope you can find some solace, and I think you have done real honor to all 3 of your friends, and what you all have shared, with this write.    

Politicians very desparate: Politicians very desparate right now to find ways to be liked that won't cost their financers any power ; ) All for daylight's savings being permanent, none the less. Definitely unhealthy for the population to keep changing the clocks - more and more studies show it. And it's otherwise nothing less than a pain in the butt, which I'm sure you'd agree : p   In the meanwhile, spring coming in a few days early, lucky us! Sounds like a well-rounded, nice day. Picture perfect day here, as well. Glad to hear you felt up to it, and got to soak it in. Spring weather is a healthy spice of it's own ; )

Thank you, as always: Your critiques are always empassioned and full of thought, lush with reader's interpretation. All draped with kindness and encouragement along the way.   Your feedback, as ever, is a watermark indicating I am having some success relying emotions and thoughts as I hope and desire to. There are certain writers who really excel at that (such as the gentleman below who also commented), and you are most certainly one who does. Thank you kindly.
