"..bring peace in some
Posted on Thu, 12 Sep 2024
"..bring peace in some measure where there’s fighting now.." Wise words, Rhiannon. And more relevant than ever with the conflicts currently ongoing.

Beautifully expressed words.

It looks odds on that CGT
Posted on Fri, 06 Sep 2024
It looks odds on that CGT will be aligned with personal rates of taxation at 20/40/45% at the next budget. Probably with immediate effect from 30th October. Landlords are already selling up in droves. Labour in Wales are levying 200% council tax...

What a brilliantly original notion - the anthropomorphism of the Devil. You do these philosophical musings so well. Life is rarely black and white and was it ever greyer than attributing human frailties to Satan? Loved this.

Eesh..I've seen images of MRI scans on the telly. Everyone seems intimidated by them and some folks can't make it all the way through the session. I can only imagine how scary the loud sounds must be. So glad your health issue has been narrowed...

"Do they engage in wistful reverie as I do.."
You have captured quite a complicated avian picture there, Jenny. The hierarchy of birds. Word pictures skilfully assembled in your poem.
Personally, I rather like corvids. There's...

"..and boilers get busy
to make our homes cosy."
You capture the mood of the changing season so reflectively, Rhiannon. Some lovely imagery in here.
Personally, I don't mind the end of summer at all. I adore autumn and winter...

Thanks for reading, Di. I think a lot more needs to more researched on this particular innovation before anyone can pontificate. In the meantime ...we speculate instead :)

"The summer imperceptibly is ending,
our path towards an end is wending..."
That's a thoughtful sweep through the seasons, Rhiannon.
Let's hope the last stanza comes true.
Very nicely done, as always.
