Kali Yuga - Brave New Year
A wee bit late, both for Brexit and The New Year; but as I've revised this old poem I though it might still make a point - nothing changes! I should add the Jester here does not refer to King Charles, but a certain politician! (Image courtesy of Christoph Sholz from Wikimedia Commons)

Lost Horizon
This will be self explanatory for UK members; otherwise please google Mr Bates versus the Post Office. I dashed this off last night, after watching the ITV show; not good poetry but heartfelt. (Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

White Doves
I like miniature poems, just a few lines, which I find satifying; and my mentor here is Samuel Manashe (collected poems available on Bloodaxe) I could wish for a smidgin of his talent. (image courtesy of Uruburos on Pixabay)

The River
An older poem I've dusted off; having reflected on what Jack commented on my last poem. It is the age old question - what constitutes us? This poem comes as close to the Buddhist view as I can manage; and of course there may be another truth. (Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

True words Rhiannon; that for all their moments of rebellion they also need boundaries to feel both safe and free to grow. Funnily enough the same is for dogs.

Lovely poem Jenny, and congrats for the cherries. Oddly enough I've never been to Cornwall - Devon was my limit; probably due to distances - the same takes me north, where I love to be.

That great mystery, what was there before the universe, and if the universe did not have a cause, what caused it? Anyway, a lovey poem - thank you.
