Rasputin

Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024

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.

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.

Embarrassing

Posted on Fri, 05 Jul 2024

Priyatelkata is half Algerian. She will haggle over the number of corn flakes in her breakfast bowl.

In market situations I feel half proud and half embarrassed. When I try to haggle she just laughs.
