You are so well informed Beata, it was indeed Poetry day in Ireland yesterday, but I didn’t have a great day with my muse, so just stuck to reading some fine poems on the soup, I’m delighted with your placement, stay well, cheers David

David totting up the title's or awards my mate. Nice i like it

David Kavanagh

Apparently it happens mostly on potd when they can communicate without being blocked,

Wow David my mate so glad after reading your comment you put me on to what was going on below. You really are in the thick of it people bickering on your page Wowza

David Kavanagh

Honestly Christopher this one started out as something else, my mind or muse as it’s called kept pulling me in a different direction so that’s how this came about, potd was the last thing on my mind, was just glad to finish the poem, but it was received pretty well apart from the row that erupted down below, nothing to do with me just spilled over here, cheers David

Oh sweetie, I have unblocked you for the day.

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/5/2021 6:49:00 AM

Yeah no worries, I was a bit bemused, but then started laughing at the madness, cheers David

Mark Koplin

Sorry about the banter with Keith, he likes to make digs at Jenna for some reason. Now this morning he is also going after Jan.

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/5/2021 6:41:00 AM

Thanks Mark, you did like it before the honor, and I appreciate you coming back with congrats, cheers David

Thank you Regina, Im delighted you enjoyed the poem, and I appreciate your kind words, cheers David

Jenna Logan

Good morning, David. Going about one's business is good advice. You got smiles from your poem, and that's much more worthy of a potd than rancorous rabble rousing.

Mark Koplin
Date: 2/5/2021 6:47:00 AM

Only Cowards like to pick on women, sorry Jenna that he is going after you again. He suffers greatly from something. It's truly sad.

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/5/2021 6:47:00 AM

Their really going at it, I’d no idea about any of this, but I still find John watts comment very strange, looks like Tom Cunningham made it for someone else, this is great I’m laughing at all the madness cheers David.

Jenna Logan
Date: 2/5/2021 6:39:00 AM

It’s another case of Keith showing up under MY comment to spew and rant about whatever is bugging him today. Sorry, David. He can only get to me on a potd.

Mark Koplin
Date: 2/5/2021 6:15:00 AM

Keith likes putting tinfoil and duct tape on his head, it helps keep the government from controlling his mind. He must be fresh out of tape.

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/5/2021 6:10:00 AM

I must have took the wrong pills today these comments, are very strange even John watts comment below has mysteriously changed and my name is now Robert,

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/5/2021 5:58:00 AM

Heya all, what the hell is going on here another cameo performance, Jan will not be happy at been upstaged, cheers David

Mark Koplin
Date: 2/5/2021 5:14:00 AM

Oh sweetie you look just like a cute little kernel of corn in the bowl.

Mark Koplin
Date: 2/5/2021 5:07:00 AM

Oh sweetie, I see you've got your big boy pants on again. Good for you!

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/5/2021 3:49:00 AM

Heya Jenna, I’m overwhelmed with the comments, so right, thanks for all your chats, and with Jan making her impromptu cameos, was hilarious, now back into the wilderness scratching my head, see if anything left in there, besides sawdust, cheers David

David Kavanagh
Date: 2/4/2021 10:48:00 AM

If only life was one big joke, most of my stuff is irreverence based, but like yourself I do try put some meaningful serious ones in, but I take myself with a pinch of salt, hopefully your comment will stick around this time, that damn poltergeist dwells in the soup, cheers David

David Kavanagh
