Re: Aba brother
I am, as they say across the pond, gobsmacked! Thank you for your generous comments and your high praise. Dryden is far more whitty than I could ever hope to be, but I am glad you did like this. I'm sure when your mom calls you mad, she only does so with a fondness for your intellect. There is a standing joke in my family about "the fine line." Again, thank you for appreciating, dear Aba.

Oh my dear sis, Presta the poetess
Reminds me of Dryden's witty definition in Absalom and Achitohel when he says of Achitophel who was otherwise, a genius and mad, both. And in his plans to overthrow the King and bring in Commonwealth he, in the process, had fretted his pigmy body to dacay. "Great wits are sure to madness near alli'd; And thin partitions do their bounds divide:" makes me wonder about myself, my mom often calls me ei amar pagla chhele, hey there my mad son. I think I am. You have written this with great attention to Aristolle's definition of 'mimesis' deserving a bunch of Kudoses!

Re: Annicita
Hah hah! I just had a blonde moment; thought for a sec you meant there was a good line in this poem sometimes. :) Oh yeahhhh!
Thank you, yes, the line is so fine it almost isn't there at times...

Out of sync with my genius but your skill appeals to my madness.

Re: Nautikos
Hah! No, not at all. Merely suggesting that those who are somehow caught between genius and madness - not Alighieri, may hear a different Voice of Reason (among other things, LOL) than others. Dear Dante seemed to be an expert on perceptions of madness and torment, and was to me, a genius to be able to do so, and in poetic form at that!

Re: CCT
Thank you, CCT. Noise will stop I believe. Thank you for the pretty petunia. That was so sweet of you. I have seen so many different kinds with different looks, and often grow them.

Well is one way of coping RP. . No use kicking the table. Honestly I don't think such a disturbance will be allowed to continue. I would buy a simple pair of ear protectors. It is noise like this that gives one tinnitus I would imagine. Yes we do call it double glazing.
Your flower report is on the previous blog. I am glad you managed to write an interesting relief poem.

"Abandon all hope ye who enter here..." (Dante Alighieri). Are you contradicting him?
