Another poem poked at and fiddled with. Imagine it read in TW's bar-room growl while he smokes a cigarette. Image made by me at canva.com a collage of PD images

Totentanz

image is PD source wiki commons. Now that Netanyahu is intent on his own Crime of the Century. I thought I'd put all my Guignol, Teutonic Mediaeval, Holocaust, Apocalyptic (basically anything that mentions Totentanz) in the same collection. Don't wait up, it may take some time.

Mono Log

First of all, let's call it prosetry. Well, I've been playing with this one for well over 10 years. My normal mode of working is give the keyboard a bash and then dash.

The Monarchy, as it did all those years ago, when Elizabeth ascended to the throne, stands at a crossroads of history. Just as the Empire morphed into the Commonwealth, whilst Great Britain became the UK and the country's influence diminished,...

Shakespeare. The line is a slight paraphrase of one in Richard II:
"Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs"
I came across it the other day, when I was looking for something else.

I think my imaginary Bert's attitude is acceptable. A black armband and do what you would normally do. Maybe turn on the TV for the actual funeral, if you're not emptying bins, or "a dinner lady or a steelworker".  (Look that up, see why it's...

This is our poem of the week. Well done.

Do you think you could adjust the font and make it bigger, as it's a little sore on the eyes at this size?
