The reality and the euphemism. I hope this wasn't your holiday trip GG? A clever poem.

Goodguy.... This one just pushed my 10th favorite poem out of it's place, where no. 1 is now no. 2!
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT presentation of optional pessimistic / optimistic thinking!!!
Attitude plays such a huge part in life!!!

Hi Good Guy
As a philosophy we all could follow, this cannot be faulted. As a poet, you have a touch that eludes me, you have broke the code apropos getting free verse to SOUND like poetry.
A skillful write...

This surprised me ,as you are contrasting the physical reality (which is the illusion )with the spiritual one which is both real and enduring. Your depiction of the horror of man made, plastic, wearisome modern, western life is amazing!
I can't help thinking of the view through rose tinted glasses as opposed to the view without them, you are really looking at the same scene but seeing just the positive aspects or just the negative ones. Maybe the trick is to see the whole.
