Thanks Jason, Frances, John, Jennifer, M.C., and Po.
I wrote this one about a year ago, and I really don't know what I was thinking about.
Hopefully the kids will enjoy it.

Jon,
A beautiful memory tinged with sadness yet full of colour and life. Your poem took me straight there. I was sitting on the next tomb stone. Well done as always.
Thanks for this
Keith

Bloody hell Phil. I've been a muso for years and have seen some action but this takes the biscuit. I took out a topless barmaid once who asked me to top someone in a club. Not me, I said. She thought I was permanently high, but it was just my head in the clouds. (She was beautiful but a duff fuck by the way. I didn't know she was a prossy). (But I digress). I knew a sax player who was called Mad John, but it was because he was so mild).

Hi Tommy. A strong and simple poem with that nice herbal twist that edges it in humour. A good effect to leave a blank when we know the word and then follow it with a phonetically similar one.

simply loves the idea of sharing.
bold and brass and getting no ass,
The man has lost his chances

Fight it comrade. Fight it with all this formidable might you have inside you. Fight it with your words and with your actions too. And you know another thing that never ceases to amaze me daily; something that works as a pool full of brightness, wisdom, compassion and endurance that you can tap in when you're all out! Humanity, John. People. I'm not saying, let go and rely upon others. Absolutely not! Just watch them, observe them. Let them mesmerize and inspire you. That's what I'm saying. Just tap in.
Thank you?

We don't seem to get them like we used to, Ray. I remember my mam telling me she got lost coming home from her cleaning job at the shirt factory once. It was only round the corner from our house. She said she sat on the kerb and cried until a bloke helped her up and brought her home.

Spooky and atmospheric Ray.
I live in a tiny rural village.
Pub gone, no shops; ancient church and graveyard view from my window. Plenty trees and creatures of the night. I hate the fog !

Hi Laney, just read your biography and sample. Really like it. I suffer with dyslexia too so know how frustrating it can be. All I can say is it might take us a bit longer to write things but as long as we enjoy it, it's worth doing. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
Jason.

Memories Jennifer, memories !
I sure do remember chilblains as a regular winter occurrence on my tootsies.....extremely sore.
In those days all our schools had outside toilets (shiny toilet paper) and used to freeze regularly in winter....what joy when the janitor had to close them 'until further notice.'

Hi Keith
First time I've read this. I can feel the aching for Spring to hasten, and for fresh inspiration.
It's especially true I think, for lots of us at this time of year, to feel the 'dull grey blanket envelope us' and to feel low on motivation.
A great Poem that addresses these issues and reminds us to re awaken ourselves.

Powerful imagery about things most of us take for granted, a reminder of our mortality, and the beautiful role poetry plays in it all. We are all indeed lucky to be here in this space and time. Thanks for sharing John. ?

Lovely, Ray. really brings back foggy days. Remember in Glasgow driving along at night in a haar with the passenger door open to avoid running over stray drunks who had toppled over into the gutter- those were the days! I also had a grey horse who I couldn't see in a midlands field as she was fog colour! She came up behind me and snorted grumpily, wanting to get back to a warm stable!

Far too much violence about nowadays. Perhaps there is no more than in Victorian days and the 20th century but then we didn't have it proposed almost as entertainment on the TV news. We have become so used to seeing and hearing about atrocious deaths that we have become inured to the horrot of it. Money made selling weapons has precedence over human life, as been only too evident recently.

Really enjoyed this. Remember at my boarding school we were supposed to keep the window open at night, and one morning found our toothbrushes iced over!!!!! Now one could report that! Not sure about the softies in cotton wool - the nursery school ones at least. The teachers here complain that they don't stay long enough at home after an illness, as the Mums have to go to work. Do you remember chilblains too?
