Lovely poem, Richard. I love

Posted on Sun, 24 Dec 2017

Describes a horrible feeling very well, Paul.

There's a rogue apostrophe in comes.

Nicely written.

Great stuff, well-wisher.

Posted on Sat, 25 Nov 2017

Great stuff, well-wisher. Many kids suffer and are scarred for life by their school experience. I like the idea of automatic writing technique. Creating at the cusp of conscious thought. Like snatching it out of the sky. It worked well here.

Thank you Fatboy74! Chuffed

Posted on Sun, 19 Nov 2017

Thank you Fatboy74! Chuffed to little meatballs or whatever we're chuffed to. Lots and lots about autonomous machines, driverless cars and artificial intelligence around about now. The big project is leaking out. Those in the know are conceding...
