David Kavanagh Poet Monoku

Lesser Spotted Me

i don’t care what they think of you ~ says my conscience indifferently 

but what if they hate and despise me ~ i answer back paranoidly 

my muse then interrupts ~ what’s going on is this a soliloquy 

no just some monoku ~ with an alternative personality

Lin Lane December 30, 2021 at 9:37 AM Well, David, you certainly stepped outside the box with your entry. It's a wonderful example of multiple personalities wrapped in one body, and at one time or another, I've been all of them. Congratulations on your victory! David Kavanagh December 30, 2021 at 10:46 AM Ha ha, great riposte Lin Lane December 30, 2021 at 9:59 AM Wanna share a few of those? David Kavanagh December 30, 2021 at 9:50 AM Thank you Lin, I do try think outside the box, I sometimes find answers beyond it’s confines, this one is me playing mind games with myself, aha! found my meds, cheers David

Paulette Calasibetta December 29, 2021 at 6:12 PM Clever write and a well deserved win. I think it holds a lot of weight in the human psyche. Blessings and Happy New Year, Paulette David Kavanagh December 30, 2021 at 12:46 AM Heya Paulette, I was messing with my mind, or my mind was just messing with me, maybe I’m just messed up, lol, happy new year, cheers David

Terry Flood December 23, 2021 at 3:35 PM You’re so cheap… David. You’re like a human buy one get one free deal. Ain't we all? The trouble with asking yourself questions and then answering yourself… is that sometimes you don’t understand your own answer… or is that just me? Ha ha… Terry David Kavanagh December 23, 2021 at 3:51 PM Hey I’m not cheap I just like to throw in a bit extra, so people will come back, lol, this one was never in doubt I had to give the right answers for it to work, but answering your own questions is easy, however! believing them is the difficult part, cheers David

Christopher Flaherty December 22, 2021 at 11:28 AM Because David Sir Despise and hate are not on your radar.or part of your internal thought process. And why you stand by all of that which you say. And I and countless others stand with you. And please never change your spots for they are not a lesser part but in fact what set's you apart Christopher Flaherty December 22, 2021 at 1:32 PM Cheer's David Here , Here Here's to being extraordinarily ordinary then David Kavanagh December 22, 2021 at 1:11 PM Your too kind Christopher, I’m just an ordinary person, who perhaps looks at life in an extraordinary way just like you, and so many poets on the site do, we’re different but the same, cheers David

Sotto Poet December 21, 2021 at 5:59 PM David, you've written a well-built Monoku, and the reality contained inside it is blatantly honest. These people are concerned about other people's sentiments. Although they are rotten to the core, they attempt to seem paranoid. Happy Holidays my friend. David Kavanagh December 21, 2021 at 11:47 PM Thank you Lasaad, I’m trying to highlight the process that happens simultaneously in our minds, as we construct our thoughts, sometimes can be detrimental if not controlled sometimes beautiful if tapped into rationally cheers David

Alexis Y. December 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM Hi David, First of all let me say, you write one liners very well. This is a good entry for the contest. Best wishes in the contest. Have a nice day:-) Alexis David Kavanagh December 21, 2021 at 11:51 PM Thank you for these kind words Alexis, the unseen separation of our thought process, can have many contrasting manifestations, cheers David
