What You Just Said Mr K About a Job Well Done

Another tribute to

To one of my very own personal
favorites

The one and only
Fenian yoda poet laureate 

Sir O . B . 1 of K 

Who is both simultaneously
blessed with 

Oscar Wilde wordsmith craft
And at the same time
Dave Allen's prolific witt and
sense of humour

Exactly just what you said David

A poetic poet's job well done

Is when it inspires thoughtful
thought and in doing so another
poet to write

A poem about a similar 
experience of their own

That and gratitude

So keep it up Sir long
may it last and you write

Because i for 1
Love your work

The way it inspires me to
think before i start to ink

And that to me is the best
advice 

One aspiring writer
can pass ever pass on to
another fellow poet

That and do not for a single
second let anything a 
jealous troll says

Put you off from doing what
you love or steal the joy out
of it

And hey you never know
1 day in the not to distant
future

One day you yourself may be
on the worthy recipient of a
comment entitled

Congratulations on a job well done

You inspired me to pick up
my pen and write a doodle
of my very own

Crackling with the intensity
and as bright as a billion candle
bright neon light-saber 

To protect and shine a light
upon the darker side of the poetic
arts

The dark side is not necessarily a bad side, I think it can be a more realistic place for inspiration, as indeed it must be faced at some point in life, I’m sure plenty of other people prefer to block it out, and good for them if they can, and others let it eat them inside out, not a good idea, put it down on paper and stab it away, cathartic for me anyway

Yes indeed agree David Freedom of Speech Better to have everyone's opinions front and centre and out in the open. Whether you like it agree with ot or not In order to engage and discuss and try find a solution rather than add to and build up frustration

Thank you so much for that Christopher, I appreciate the gesture, but am honestly not worthy, I just try being myself when I write, and you are like minded, But Oscar Wilde, that guy was a pioneering genius ahead of his time, as for Dave Allen I certainly have his irreverent traits, perhaps a fraction of his wit, I definitely don’t take myself serious, cheers David
