What a brilliantly original

Posted on Sat, 07 Sep 2024

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.

Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2024

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...

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 :)

Posted on Mon, 02 Sep 2024

"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.

I am one of those who listen to Alfred N.Muggins. He makes a lot of sense.

Coming along nicely.

Keep going! :)
