I had two “aunties”, MC, who were best friends. Actually, one was my auntie and the other her friend. They lived together and slept together at my grandma’s. It was only when I was in my 40’s that I cottoned on!

You're either downright nosy - or there yourself. ?
In my 8th decade I have the following to say -
If you keep yourself in self-help health
You won't be pillaging others' pelf.

Common sense is gone dk
Replaced by common dumb
Gullible and dumb-like
Ready to succumb
You gotta have a new one
To keep up with the Jones
Nah, you're old one's no good
I'm 'fraid it's not two-tone
No it isn't common sense
To keep what does still work
We have to buy from sellers
To satisfy their perks ?

That's ironic as hell that people are complaining that the site is 'going downhill', yet when one of the best writers on the site gets Poem of the Week no one shows up to say a thing.
Well, here's a second congratulations on behalf of people that actually notice things.
WELL DONE RUBY.?

Jennifer you've coined a new word...brilliant.
I will definitely find an excuse to use it.
Gives me a pre-mortgasm just thinking about it !
P.S.
The answer to the age-old question "How was it for you?"
"Rotten."

Damn it...I should remember that , but I don't.
Probably because most winters up north are severe.
I have seen photos of south east england during the winter of 1962. Spectacular shots of the frozen sea at Herne Bay and even an amazing gigantic frozen wave at Whitstable in 1940.
Thanks for re-kindling my interest.
P.S. Have you tried to buy a pair of thermal gloves recently ?
I think they are "changing hands" at black-market prices.

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier David. We have to treasure our odd corners - I guess the tourists like them too - there will be imitators and attempts to hijack them. Think of the Queen Mary and London Bridge for example.

Thanks for liking my Drinker poem Jennifer. I hope you're enjoying the site at the moment, I'm afraid I'm not. It feels to me like a graffiti site; I've said it now. Inspiration is hard to find.

Thanks Po & Sal. I wrote it at the time of a previous eclipse, which I managed to snap from our house, looking through a spruce tree in the neighbours garden. BUt I now realise that I was thinking.of an eclipse of the SUN, which does silence all the birds.... took me about four years to realise that! (Thinks.... prat!)

anything that gets young people reading poetry is a good thing. not a fan of kaur, read through milk and honey and found it paper thin, but if a single person uses it as a gateway to sharon olds, charles bukowski or walt whitman, it can only be a positive thing.
