I so much want to know how soft your skin. Run fingers over sparce hairs wondering how you perceive my presence. If I am friend or I am foe. You will...

I was thinking about writing a bit of a ramble about a totally different subject, but reading this brought familiar thoughts and also some nice memories of my Las Palmas and Lanz. days. Eight years away from Spain punctuated by occasional trips...
There seems to be some very good poems on here recently, but I have to say this is one of the best poems I have ever read on here. If it doesn't make poem of the month there's no justice.
Anyway, that aside, what struck me is the picture...

I lived about 15 miles from Savernake forest for ten years. We often used to go there for a wander on a weekend and especially in autumn looking for mushrooms. Blewits were abundant as I recall. Lovely flavour, but also popular with the wildlife...
I do have a background to this story in mind, We'll see if I can make it into something, Prequels and sequels need careful planning if they are going to work it seems to me.
Your wonderful super-soft poem made me want to know more about these mysterious birds, so I did a little research. I had it in my head they were endangered, but thankfully it seems they are quite populous in the north. I'm much relieved about...
