I prefer the free flow

I don’t want to write any sonnets;
Nor to hear any Wagner Teutonic.
I prefer the free flow
of poetry to go
around the world of the essence Platonic.

Of course some folk like odd  mnenomics
Others prefer to read comics
Do you draw cartooons
Or to writing presume?
I would were it more economic.

If only women could wear flowered bonnets
Bad hair days would disappear,innit?
The bhurka is dandy.
and veils come in handy.
This head gear looks almost up to the minute.

Do we want to be equal?

A jug by  Katherine
It seems that many  men and women loved ”  Fifty shades of grey”  which is sado-masochistic..I fear I only managed 5 pages and tossed it aside like an oldglove,as my husband used to say.But just now I was reading a little of a book whichmentions an issue close to that

The Death of Sigmund Freud: Fascism, Psychoanalysis and the Rise of Fundamentalism

Mark Edmundson
Quote:Freud became preoccupied by tyranny.. with human beings hunger  for power…and  with the human desire to be dominated…..
Freud appeared to believe many of us like to be dominated and certainly the way many women dress nowadays and indeed in the last two hundred years at least in  Europe seems to show that they are prepared to suffer pain in order to gain male attention with shape-wear,underwired bras,high heels and also plastic surgery.
and they will do  all that to get a man and then complain when he asks them to boil a few hundred handkerchiefs or make a bed.Actually we bought our bed in a shop but you catch my drift?Do we really wissh to be equal politically or personally?

It was not sin that brought death and its sighs,

The summertime evaporates like mist

Revealing  golden leaves albeit but few.

No longer by bright flowers are our eyes kissed.

No longer do leaf buds appear anew.

Some changes in our lives are like this too.

We do not see  the moment as life turns

We think we still ascend with growth anew

And wisdom ,sense and vision are all spurned.

It is not for our sins that we must die.

For life and death are  two sides of a whole.

It was not  sin that brought death and its sighs,

This is a myth to keep priests in control.

Changes are invisible at first.

Let’s not act as if we are accursed.
