Thank you Stu.
I went through a phase of what I call orientalism, and dashed out dozens of Haiku and a few Senryu, before getting bored. It was then I decided to spice them up by adding a dash of humour.

enjoyed your take on revelations a lot keith. my favourite bible chapter (i am not religious but revel in theology) due to its sheer insanity. fire and brimstone indeed!

great flow here john. you clearly structured it to match the ebb and flow of the dance and it works really well. re-read it while listening to swan lake. a good experience

The problem for Leavers is now what it was when they voted. They don’t know what they would get. Which, to my mind, always made it a silly thing to do.

I apologise, I just realised my mistake...my comment should have said ' as long as it's not funnier than mine'. Judging from your Lottery sample I have good competition.

Thank you for your comment on my profile re Westonbirt Arboretum. It started as a serious piece about the beauty of the trees but I couldn't resist some observational humour (with 2 U's).

Thank you all for your comments and ideas, some very interesting points. I really appreciate the feedback.
Most of my working life has taken a different direction - university then a host of jobs in health and social care. I loved my brief spell in industry however - looking back, I have rarely been happier! Then again, I was young!

I'm still bumping around in the dark until I get the feel of this site.
For example there are plenty text formatting options, but it is a waste of time using them because everything just re-sets to house style....damned annoying.

Well the thing is I was under the impression that most mags won't accept things that have already appeared in public, even on FB sometimes, so I tend not to post things on WOL until they're published. Suppose it depends who's looking - probably they don't look often and I'm just being paranoid.

The only ones that would not enjoy it are the ones too far in denial to care, Becky.

Well done on your slam. I think your multimedia approach is effective in itself and can do you wonders.

Keep up the great work, and I loved the piece by the way.?
