That made me laugh..a lot, especially the end, naked pictures from middle-aged people, wtaf. You're brave. Weatherspoons frozen peas. We've come so far since the creepy ads in the back of the local paper and it's even more cringe.

Posted on Thu, 17 Nov 2022

The fresh raw beauty can be an eye-watering burden, far more relaxing to fade into the seasons, especially with stars and moon to light the way. Magical poem Jenny.

Posted on Wed, 16 Nov 2022

Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's hard to relate to those go-getter people, they do seem to achieve a lot but their achievements are perhaps 'microwaved'. Taking and giving time to appreciate is like living life in a slow cooker, I...

A beautiful and rich tribute

Posted on Sat, 01 Oct 2022

Hi Di_Hard, thank you for commenting. It's fascinating that orcas are more emotionally complex than humans, the human narcissist in me wonders how this is possible. Everything is getting so weird, I agree but perhaps it was ever thus. What I...

Posted on Tue, 30 Aug 2022

Reminds me of the sky I saw earlier, low rolling clouds, dark against the blue. I get the sense of something foreboding, it could be too late for a cure but we can only be optimistic. I really enjoyed the last verse, 'or maybe I'm a feathered...
