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)

I seem to have missed a whole 'Slough' of poems, like this one; and yes, it took a while before I realised what those smells signified! Nice on Thurlough! BTW, my wife once lived near the Mars factory, and they could smell the Mars Bars.

I came back to this today, having read it before; and the comments and your replies have helped me better understand it; and its certainly a powerful poem, which is cathartic.

This poem was perfect for those of us who miss a bath. We swapped our bath for a shower years ago, and now have another one downstairs, so no luxury of a nice soapy bath - nice one Jane.

'white tears of snow drops.' I loved this line, and how the poem brings Spring ever closer. We have our snowdrops coming through now all over the our village, and on Sunday we have our snowdrop festival at our church and the grounds of the old...

Posted on Wed, 07 Feb 2024
A deeply felt poem; and if it's possible to say what I liked, it was how you told the story from both sides, which further emphasised the heartbreak. I have been fortunate, in that all my family have died while I lived in the UK and they in...

Posted on Wed, 07 Feb 2024
A rant poem for sure and not a word wasted; and I can only agree with my estimable fellow members, that we as a species have not honoured our resonsibilties - both to each other and to the planet. Our only hope - and it is still a slim one - is...

Phobetor indeed! I liked the dream like quality here, with that unsettling undertow, and the imagery was perfect.

Yes, I agree, it benefits from several readings and how one interprets it; for myself it reminded me of Crossing The Bar, which I recited once at a funeral; and of course - a lovely poem, congratulations Jane.
