Mind Under Siege (About My Best Friend Brian D'souze) Comments

Perfect with the title, you justified the title with wonderful poem on your friend, hope HE is not offended by this poem. Loved it.

.................AND I'm glad I am FINALLY DONE HERE, and wish to never read this poem AGAIN! ! 4 1/2....OK,5 stars. : ) bri

WITH some 'minor reservations' [..... I DON'T MEAN like a restaurant 'table for two' ]....as I've stated in my comments, I've still enjoyed the poem a great deal.

'newly picked brick' Is that a genetically modified building stone which grows on trees and adss LOTS of FIBER to one's diet? ? ? GOOD IDEA!

'I'm STILL 'ON' stanza 3? ! I DID like the rhymes even if I didn't understand them well. ;) Stanzas 4 & 5 I enjoyed, but WAS THE 'BOSS' AMUSED? ?

(cont.) ....WHATEVER 'that' means! ! (moving ahead in the poem) ..'Snack jack' or was it 'snackjack'? AND 'buttey cloud; were/are BOTH a bit of a mystery for me. The site Urban Dictionary tried to help with snack jack. I'd say more, but 'Time Marches On' & 'Time Waits for No Man'.

(cont.) I forgot to speak of the 'psyche' in the poem, specifically 'Brian's psyche'. Besides being 'The 16th planetoid, discovered by De Gasparis at Naples in 1852', 'psyche' (with a small 'p') means 'The human soul or spirit or mind'.... (cont)

(cont.) Why did I 'explain' Cupid? It is simple to figure out IF you have time to search online as I do (at times) . Simply and quickly: Psyche was a mythological princess and she and Cupid were lovers, & I think they married. Easy.

(cont.) 'In classical mythology'..Cupid was 'the god of desire, love, attraction and affection' A depiction (picture) of Cupid hss been used on Valentine's Day greeitng cardsl (cont.)

'D'Souze' rhymes with 'unease'? ? Shall I therefore pronounce D'Souze as 'disease'? ? Why not? ? 'Ideas and thoughts' COULD be synonyms at times, but I guess NOT ALWAYS. E.G. I might have the thought that I should kill my wife, but have no idea HOW. (cont.)

OH! YOUR POEM! ! Let me begin (to read it) . FIRST, and, for now, foremost, let me say: 'I like your friend JUST BECAUSE...his first name and mine are related. If it had been 'Joe', this poem I might have hated. (cont.)

(cont.) .....between me and my fans, especially the female fans who dream each night of my dear face [and other body parts]. : )

The REASON I 'go by' Bri on here, though at times, with 'pride' I DO report my full name from birth, IS that, knowing how I'd become adored here I felt I also would want to keep some space, (cont.)

Before I'd begun reading this poem, Sheeya, I searched for 'Brian' online and found not a trace. Well, if you'd plastered all over PH his REAL name, I might have said: 'Sheeya, you ARE a disgrace! ' ;)

Very interesting ink. Enjoyed reading. So nicely crafted. Thanks.
