We live in a fast paced world, and with that being said, many lack patience. It's not easy at times, but, I find myself living in the moment. (Not wavering, in the mother of all lines). So beautifully written and presented, David. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Brandy

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/10/2023 1:04:00 AM

Heya Brandy, this fast paced world appears to be going nowhere fast for the masses, especially if they must do the line each day, this one is all about perspective and metaphor, and is designed to be seen from a neutral non-judgmental pov, thank you so much for stopping by, cheers David

Congrats on your POTD with this fine creation my friend. ""Mother of all lines hides behind a basket. So fearful somebody may ask it. But the young are just too damn clueless. Whilst the old are usually broken down and useless."" Very fine one liner. God bless.

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 2:30:00 PM

Very nicely said Robert, even your comments are poetic, you certainly see life in the abstract, as indeed this one was always intended, thank you so much for stopping by today, cheers David

Hey David! Congrats and hats off to this poetic beauty like having a TSA pass in a jampacked holiday airport. Great job. Congratulations on your POTD!!! Cheers.

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 1:10:00 PM

Heya Sam I’ve been to airports before and wished I had a fast pass on many occasions, this one is more metaphorical to the mother of all lines, which is life in general and trying to avoid getting bogged down by the ever present stagnant effects it puts in front of us, thank you so much for stopping by, cheers David

Always be courageous and especially be yourself. Powerful thought in this one liner, David. Congratulations on your POTD! Have a great day! Bill

David Kavanagh

Thank you Bill, you are a wise communicator, if we don’t stay true to ourselves we will always be standing in the mother of all lines, cheers David

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 8:31:00 AM

Heya Susan, I’m delighted you see what I was trying to process here, I’d much prefer the ability to paint these Monokus, but I can’t, you possess that gift, cheers David

Paulette Calasibetta

Date: 6/9/2023 7:03:00 AM

Brilliant! Your Monoku is worth a 1000 words. Congratulations on your POTD! Paulette

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 8:24:00 AM

Thank you Paulette, you’re most kind, perhaps some serendipitous thinking helped this one come together, cheers David

Thank you Maureen high praise indeed, if I had a quarter of your talent, I’d still have more than enough to get me through this life, I really hope you’re doing well, cheers David

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 2:38:00 AM

Nonjudgmental indeed Seeker, I’m not fit to judge the motive of those standing in the line, only my own decision not to join them, thank you so much for stopping by, cheers David

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 5:41:00 AM

Hey I never said it was an old person’s word, just an old word a bit like crypto currency lol!

Deb M
Date: 6/9/2023 4:43:00 AM

See now l understand David….us youngens don't know those old people words!! Haha ! Debx

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 1:47:00 AM

Heya Deb, thank you for stopping by with congrats, sans is just an old literary word meaning (without) but I like using it on rare occasions, cheers David

Lin Lane

Date: 6/9/2023 1:24:00 AM

I’d skip standing in any line and find something better to do than waste that time. Congratulations on your potd, David.

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 1:42:00 AM

Thank you Lin, absolutely do something/anything rather than let life pass you by, whilst stuck in that line, this one is not entirely about me passing the stagnant line, it’s more about life passing it by, cheers David

Tom Cunningham

Back with congratulations David on the honour of POTD. Enjoy your day Tom

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 1:15:00 AM

Thanks so much Tom, a big surprise, I didn’t think many would get this one, it’s a little abstract but was always intended to have an impactful meaning on life in general, I’m delighted with the honour, cheers David

Tom Cunningham

Date: 6/7/2023 10:54:00 AM

Best thing to do in life David, who needs the added stress? Tom

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/7/2023 11:04:00 AM

You read me good Tom, so many choose the line needlessly, if I can afford to make life easier in some small way, I always choose that option, cheers David

In the express line, I uttered the mother of all curses. It's always thrilling to come to your work David, put my mind to work.

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/9/2023 3:18:00 PM

Thank you Anaya I appreciate you stopping by again, cheers David

I Am Anaya
Date: 6/7/2023 1:37:00 PM

Back with congratulations on POTD David!

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/7/2023 1:10:00 PM

Your language tempts me Anaya, I might just take the plunge and have a contest later on in the year, shit happens lol!

I Am Anaya
Date: 6/7/2023 11:22:00 AM

I think you should "The Abstract Monoku Poetry Contest" Sponsor: David K...now that's the shit! Those guilty pleasures of mine (meaningless lines)- nothing gets by you.

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/7/2023 10:59:00 AM

I honestly haven’t thought about sponsoring a Monoku contest Anaya, I think the more meaningful abstract ones would place high, I definitely wouldn’t have any no no’s!

I Am Anaya
Date: 6/7/2023 10:43:00 AM

lol, love that about you! Have you thought about sponsoring a monoku contest & what would be your theme?

David Kavanagh
Date: 6/7/2023 10:28:00 AM

Heya Anaya, oh my! what could such a cuss be lol, this one could well be applicable to me trying to make life easy for myself and others around me, and if I can I will, cheers David
