The Merry Moth of December

By Turlough on Tue, 21 Dec 2021

I think that in a previous life I may have been a moth. Although I’ve never eaten a woolly jumper or bashed my brains out on a car windscreen, I can’...

Fantasies of Enya (with music video)

By Turlough on Wed, 15 Dec 2021

I'd like to be the owner of a butcher's shop in Newry. I'd like to shake my hips about and sing like Billy Fury. I'd like to be a cosmonaut like...

Hotel Mediterraneo

Take Splat!

Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024

I'm already on it CM. Living in Bulgaria insects, arachnids, isopods and arthropods have become my speciality. I may have even caught crabs from time to time.

Glaswegians Chapter 3 Verse 8

Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024

Mmmmh, now that's a good point IPFN. I lived in Glasgow for a large chunk of 1978 and I don't remember seeing a wasp. There were, however, a great number of people turning wine into water.

That's disappointment!

Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024

We (Bulgaria) didn't qualify but twelve of our East European neighbours did. That's an unprecedented 50% of the line up for the tournament's finals in Germany. I was convinced that at least one of them would do well. Golden old boy Luka Modrić in...

Rasputin

Archaic verse from the East tells us this...

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago. He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow. Most people looked at him with terror and with fear but to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely...

From the depths of a coffee cup

Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024

Scenes from the depths of a coffee cup. It's incredible how a world, or even a universe, can be encapsulated in such a still and silent space.

Your words have made me think back to times when I have looked at clouds, waves, trees, cobwebs...

String

Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024

I'm really sorry to hear about your dental ordeal but pleased that you weren't so traumatised that you were unable to write your poem about it.

For future reference a bottle of rough whiskey, a piece of string and a door handle is a much...

The Swingin' Seventies

Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024

Dear Jenny.

I hope you find happy and rewarding times in your seventies. Save a place  for me. I'll be in them soon, possibly accompanied by some travelling gypsies.

And whenever it was, I hope you had a lovely time on your birthday...

Pagan Orange

Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2024

Thanks Paul. Yes I saw it. It brought outrage to the world and his pagan god. A very ill-mannered thing to do but it was only a bit of orange coloured cornflour and I'm sure the dear old henge has known far worse. The stunt gained a lot of...

Just Stop Many Things

Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2024

I'd say that Just Stop Plastic and Bombs and Rockets Whilst Significantly Reducing the Number of Internal Combustion Engines would be a better name for a pressure group. We need oil for our chip pans and massage parlours.

Blood on the Tracks

Posted on Tue, 09 Jul 2024

Bob Dylan has highs and a few lows for me but Blood on the Tracks is the ultimate high and on which Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts really stands out. It's one of those got-to-listen-twice songs.

Long time ago when...
