Bird-breast soft, white clouds nestle egg-round hills across calm, mist dimmed sea way's blue between. Pavement's happy elephant skin, warm, still...

Very interesting to read his story. I only really knew of him from hearing an interview about how by the time they let working class people into Oxford it was so dummed down there was no point going there, and that the elites never accepted him...

Posted on Sun, 17 Sep 2017
You are quite right Tom, it's just a collection of nature scenes. It's just that I realised that someone from centuries ago could have seen them, too. And while I think of the wood as a beautiful place to go and see the sun and hear the birds....

Glad you chose to honour them with one of your wonderful poems! I have always thought they are magical, fairytale flowers, they have such complex shapes, don't they? Wonder how grannies must have looked very flamboyant if their bonnets really...

This reminded me of the bit in one of the Hitch hikers books Restaurant at the End of the Universe, when the cow comes to their table to explain which parts of her would be best to eat. Also in the past trying to get something I could have when...

She does? Wow, that's interesting! Kudos :0) I nearly tried, but then reckoned the vegan milk is so expensive anyway, probably not worth risking wasting it all if it didn't work. I get the yoghurt when it's reduced as a treat. Does Priyatelkata...

Listening to the news, we really are so lucky, as you say! I like very much how you make food sound like a force, like water or electricity, that can be blocked - your rhyme and rhythm helps with that feeling of movement
