Welcome one and welcome all
to our Wonderful Four Man Show (need)
as we desperately cast a net of words
to catch, or hold, or sow (seed)
all you poets to return and contribute,
we're lonely bastards, I have to admit (pissed)
only being read by heartless Bots
who appear without crit, or praise, or wit (missed)

Hi, Chaps.

I'm still around, but haven't been feeling very poetic lately.  Quite a bit of other stuff going on.

=====

The neighbour's dog is so damned wet
he doesn't even bark,
and the rain-sodden finches in the tree
are building a bloody ark.

My Muse has gone canoeing
slaloming through the weeds
she sometimes throws a slippery word
which I fumble to catch.
(See what I mean...)

Your name has been added to the title Welcome back.

It seems that people are not finding it easy to write poetr yin the current circumstances and yet like all the arts we need it more than ever. I am grateful that at least there are now five names on  that lise, Colm.

Indeed. Hopefully the list will continue to grow

Put my name back on the list -- a thousand apologies for being gone so long -- it was never my intention.

In my partial defense. . . . never mind. I am back.

Cheers all.

Welcome back T
It's all testosterone here at the moment Where have all the ladies gone?
Anywho, I hope you're well and your muse is behaving herself.

more testosterone
here but still
no ladies
why?

From my experience they appear to more troubled by Covid than men are.
And it seems to affect their Muses too
I'm not being facetious btw.

You could be on to something there. From what I've seen, women do seem to be more troubled by the social restrictions than men are.
