Patrick Kavanagh and Me
I’ve got to give a bit of credit for the first line of this to the late Mr Patrick Kavanagh of 62 Pembroke Road, Dublin. It’s from his poem Canal Bank Walk , written in 1954.

My Verbal Diary Here
I couldn’t match the style of Jenny Skinner’s diary entries but I hope this helps to cheer her up a bit while she’s feeling under the weather.

Humans
Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2024
Ah, right. The vast majority of my writing is autobiographical and I forget that other people's might not be. So I apologise for this oversight.
Observing human behaviour is something that I spend a lot of my time doing too, though the...

The Parents
Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2024
I get you!
We blame our parents but our parents blame their own parents,and so on. The best we can do is break the mould.

Oh, I just love it when I'm wandering Ireland and I bump into an unexpected memorial sculpture. Tom Krean in Annascaul's a great one but my favourite is the statue of Johnny Kilbane who was the World Featherweight Boxing Champion from 1912 to...

'From the heart of my bottom' would change the...

Positive attitude
Posted on Wed, 24 Jul 2024
There have been times when it's been necessary for me to get myself extra super fit for walking and cycling trips that I've sometimes foolishly agreed to go on but generally I've avoided physical exercise for great swathes of my life.
So...

Hello dear Jenny.
I'm very sorry to hear that you're still suffering with your illness. I hope someone or something can improve your health and mobility soon. I admire you for continuing to write your poetry through it all.

Dear TR Maxine,
Do you realise that your latest comment is about ten times longer than your original story? That's impressive. Thank you for enlightening me though. I used to work near a branch of TR Maxx in Bristol but, suspecting that it...

Sober inebriatist, drunken teetotalist

Excellent words containing a lot of very well thought out rhyme that frantically jumps off the page to emphasise the utter desperation.
Silent Death recaps his ink... a brilliant penultimate line!
