Poem of the week

18th June Woods and back

it does sound awfully like

Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023

BRILLIANT!!!

Very true. And there are so

Posted on Fri, 25 Aug 2023

Posted on Thu, 24 Aug 2023

I guess the longer a person is at the top, the more the End which justifies the Means for them, is just staying there. But as you say, everyone must "soon pass out of memories". Though I expect people like those you mention are, (and will be for...

That is very brave. I really

Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023

That is a really good idea

Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023

So clever! How dust is

Posted on Sat, 19 Aug 2023

I love this one :0) I don't

Posted on Thu, 17 Aug 2023

I love this one :0) I don't know how you do it, find the essence of a place, or a kind of weather, in just a few words. But somehow you do, over and over again, and make each poem so beautiful and true and fresh
