Liked this Ed. You open with drifting icy kapok. Great imagery that sets the scene for the rest of the poem. Trees looking like fairy cakes, weeping cars... whats not to like? Great poem mate.

Posted on Tue, 11 Feb 2025

Hi Di, I just had this idea that maybe this long last watch was just hanging about somewhere with everyone thinking it was a fake. Its a true story about the watch. It was Buzz Aldrins and it has been missing since 1970!
