Don't over think it!

A Child of Descartes

ergo here I am!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Many thanks for reading and for the kind comment.

[CAPOLAVORO]

Nice Haiku. This one talk more than just a child of Descartes. :) Well done.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Capolavpro. I enjoy the odd senryu, haiku are far too complex for me lol!

[CAPOLAVORO]

Lol oh yeah. This seemed to be a Senryu. Either way, this for me is worthy to be Haiku. That is how I support you John. :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You are kind, thank you.

[wordman]

[John Alexander McFadyen]

[J Manuel]

Such epigrammatic brilliance reflecting on your father’s modern western philosophy; thus becoming the philosopher breaking away from his shadow… this was fun, I like it.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you, it was a fun write.

[Tony Jordan]

When the drink's in, the wit's out lol
I have listened to many barstool philosophers in my time and been one myself (from what I can remember) but I would have needed an extra few hot toddies to start to cogitate on this one John.
Pure Celt wisdom my friend...
:D

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha Tony I think your accent, culture, gift of the gab etc would put me back in my box lol!¬Cheers!

[Tony Jordan]

I liked this poem a lot. I try to get publish years ago. They told me. Johnnie, born too late. If born 500 years ago. Your epic story and poetry would be perfect. Better to drink and think. Write and ponder the flow of living. Thank you John for sharing the excellent poetry.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You and me both Johnnie! Many thanks.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome John.

[Saud Maroof]

I hear his coerce voice in your words and can imagine his charm that hide bettween your lines and that made me laugh out loud

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Glad to make you laugh Saud. So, from a Scot, how is your roof?

[Saud Maroof]

My eyes are foggy my brain is a sinner but my roof remains white?

Roof?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Without intention to insult, your name says something else to a Glaswegian like me. Sod ma roof!

[Saud Maroof]

Haha 😂 this is truly hilarious. Green roof, man that must make a house look pretty

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Sod can also be an expletive for damn lol!

[Saud Maroof]

English slang a whole new subject to get a PhD in. But in Arabic saud translates to pious or responsible and maroof translates to special or famous, so my parents were not cruel. :-)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Lol! So glad to hear it!
