Thanks very much for that Di. I wasn’t sure whether it worked as a poem or not and dithered for a while over posting it. It didn’t take me very long to write so that made me think it probably wasn’t up to much. It didn’t take long to write...

Bunch of Grapes
Posted on Fri, 21 Nov 2025

Brilliant! These are powerful words Jane, and depressing, but also true. And what's equally depressing is the fact that so many of us don't see that there is a problem, or we just choose to ignore it.
Good on you for sharing your thoughts...
