The Cost Is Enormous

Well it's bad no doubt...But they have plumbed New depths if even their pride has no purpose Harry lol))) I can sense their not your favourite Folk, btw; I hope you can forgive my small joke? I had a smile instead of my normal frown?? If you don't laugh you will cry it's said.) God bless.'

Love this!

…distressed prayers from all of us about what is be-glooming our lives…think of that vs. the prayers that would otherwise be sent up, say, re our health, the growth of our souls, the well-being of world’s children & elderly, etc. Heaven is being cluttered by gloom from anger& hate. Woe on us! Astounding penning! XO Sally

Harry, here is a multiple-interpretation poem. That, IMHO, is superb. My interpretation after 1st quick read was, like others thought, about goats & cultures, like all the disrespect of people one to another. But, then, 2nd, I thought of how THAT was causing Clutter in heaven from all the distressing…….

Let's hope the leaders of all our countries try to work together to do some good~

This seems to be a very thought provoking powerful and interesting Senryu...Harry...though I do not know much about the House of Lords...God bless...~ Ani

Sadly... hoping for prayerful lords... God bless you always, Love, Gina

Harry, it seems this is a universal issue;we are struggling with inept leaders whose goals are questionable. Great Write!! Take Care, Paulette

I was a little lost at first. Had to do some research. Great poem Harry! :)

Powerful and evocative. A nice one, Harry. :)

well said Harry:-) hugs jan xx we have a new chief Minister elected today will be interesting to see how he runs the country for the next 5 yrs, scary situation our longest serving politician is just 15 yrs, so many new ones this time and its going to be a bumpy ride for sure:-( hugs Jan xx

Sir Harry, you weave commentary, politics, poetry pithily, wittily, fittingly )House of Lords sit on their blessed ASSurances of privilege?) SHALOM, SHALOM

Ah, foolish pride, when kissed with ego it can be deadly. Still, I rise every morning with the scent of hope on my pillow, thanks for the thought stop, now I must go, :)

Well written and interesting senryu, Harry!

Wow -- spot on! Judging by Andrea's comment this would be a little lost on people not familiar with our two house system of making and passing new law. Wonderful little poem, Harry. Cheers! :) john P.s My great hero, Ezra Pound, would have loved this...truly he would.

Oh Amen my friend. Congress and Parliament ain't much different. God Bless, JB

hmmm, not sure about that middle line, but then again, what do I know about the House of Lords. Keep them coming, Harry.

I can certainly relate Harry, well said!!

Good Morning hh - This is written in the true voice and tone of the format. Your words give pause and reflect truth for the cost is high. Have a wonderful day.

Sometimes I think they don't know what they are doing and where they want to arrive.

Well said Harry!

I wonder what they are really like? Will they be able to hold together if they miss the rapture? I enjoyed reading your Senryu. Sara
