Terence Mullan
Down the years I have lived in many places and I have done many jobs. Now I live in Bulgaria and the only work I do is tending to my lovely garden when the sun is shining and scribbling away in my big book of writing stuff when it is not.
I may have left it too late in life to become a famous writer or celebrated gardener but I will persevere anyway. These are the things that occupy me in a seemingly effortless and satisfying way.
This is great Paul.

I don't believe that the world will ever come to an end but the day when man ceases to live here is approaching, slowly but surely. Beyond that, the world will continue to revolve on its axis around the sun and it will regenerate, as it has done...

Cat chaos!

Oh, don’t worry. I immediately understood the difference in what you were saying in the two separate two line bits. I certainly think you should leave it as it is. Also, I think we write these things largely for our own amusement and satisfaction...

Under the Tree is clever. I wouldn’t have thought of that though, from some of the festive season revellers I have known, I might have gone for Under the Table.

Bravo Rhiannon, you've done it! And I enjoyed every line.

I've got the key of the door, never been twenty-one before
just lurking round the corner, aren't you tempted to go one more day?

Hello Jenny.
This is a lovely poem which brings to mind the chaos that I'm sure we would experience if we really could turn back time.
I liked your line
unaware those last goodbyes
which, for me would be the...
