current affairs on fringes of madness
consequence of chain of events
puffed up news of Hormuz
made one confused and tensed
disorganised scenario of today
of the old order and pleasure
for ordinary folks utterly out of play
with inflated costs and less leisure
Lisa at d'Verse with Quadrille Q 251
Light Burst of Air
Great poem! I enjoyed the symbolism of the dandelion seeds. The poem suggests that whether life is gentle or difficult, we can still find a way to grow. Simple, graceful, and uplifting.
ReplyDeleteVery clever, to stick to the rules of quadrille and also work in a rhyme scheme!
ReplyDeleteMaybe finding a better hobby is a good thing
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a lot of puffed up news these days.
ReplyDeletetoo many dangling threads makes for easily torn fabric. I agree with what Rosemary and Bjorn say also. Nicely done, Hank!
ReplyDeleteNow I like to shop at farmer's markets and antique stores...fun to look!
ReplyDeleteHank, I like how your poem shows that “puffed up news” and world problems make everyday life harder and more costly for regular people.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
