::Limited edition::

I’m a limited edition, when all is said and done 
Nothing special, only unique in a maze of humdrum 
Kill spiders for a pastime, coz I hate their beady eyes 
Watching me try to sleep, as they paralyse butterflies 

I’m a limited edition, pulling cobwebs from beams 
In great physical shape, yet mentally challenged it seems 
Guilty of every known sin, with mitigation of course 
They are all in my head, except when I use fatal force 

I’m a limited edition, preprogrammed to survive 
From one day to another, til next time I’m not revived 
Still it’s great to be alive, from a dead man’s point of view 
I certainly possess one, in a preserve this mind grew 

I’m a limited edition, my pets couldn’t care less 
Well possibly they do, but look up to me nonetheless 
Take me as you find me on any given occasion 
Whisper sweet nothings, I’m a sucker to soft persuasion 

I’m a limited edition, light Cola makes me cringe 
And hate drinking alcohol, unless going on a binge
Alas I cannot find god, he’s hidden away in reams
Leaving himself subjective, to idealistic extremes 

I’m a limited edition, playing Russian roulette 
Will even up the ante, fill the chamber, rig the bet
It’s a no brainer, literally speaking anyway 
With just sawdust to lose, all so easy to blow away

David Kavanagh laid bare (in the best possible taste, of course). I would say you have a much better grip on your own mind and reality than many which surely does indeed make you a limited edition. Congrats on POTD, David. Terry

It seems most of the fine books are out of print and are just a limited edition whereas most of the banal and hack writing are now in their tenth and eleventh printings. You're a limited edition and all the better for it! Congratulations on POTD! My best, Robert

You are a limited edition. You are enough. Love that opening verse. Also the ending “with sawdust to lose.” I could say much about God, but won’t do it here. Your expression of feelings is okay with me. Great write, dear David! Congrats on POTD!

Hello David, What a journey through the intricacies of self-awareness, acceptance, and defiance against societal norms. I loved how the imagery of battling spiders and embracing imperfections is revealing layers of vulnerability and resilience. Your artistic words echo the universal quest for meaning, identity, and purpose. Congratulations on being recognized as Poet of the Day; your voice is a rare gem amidst the noise, a testament to the power of authenticity in a world of conformity. - Blessings, Daniel

“I’m a limited edition, preprogrammed to survive From one day to another, til next time I’m not revived Still it’s great to be alive, from a dead man’s point of view I certainly possess one, in a preserve this mind grew” my favorite stanza, so raw, makes the reader feel your woes. You are a David Kavanagh special, definitely limited edition!

David, you've never had hidden agendas in any of your poems, comments, and responses. I'd rather not think of you as a "Limited Edition" but as a "Special Edition." You never hesitate to defend a friend, clamp the jaws shut of a shark on the attack, and give your honest opinion... sometimes even when it's not asked for or appreciated. I'm grateful to call you my friend and my Monoku enlightener. Cheers to YOU.. and not with a light Cola!
Date: 5/11/2024 8:56:00 AM

I enjoyed reading your very creative "Limited edition"write. Each one of us is a "Limited edition" person. Sorry for the deep thought. Have A Wonderful/Blessed Weekend Writing Away.........

Following your own path and being true to yourself makes you unique and a limited edition. Hope you're keeping well David and enjoying the warm weather. Tom
