Starfish

Hello there - apropos your comment about my own regarding UK
intelligence & diplomatic services. I and members of my immediate
family are in the higher vulnerability category and it seems totally
legitimate to be curious about how a government served by the
two most experienced and well informed services in history should,
even now, still be playing catch-up in its dealings with this disease.
Add to that the long historical connection between this country and
the alleged source of infection and it looks like the Sunday Times
article now causing waves and a fierce rebuttal from, No 10 has
similar questions.

thanks for commenting on 'Armistice (Gods Of War)' Starfish - very kind of you & pleased that you liked it - where the heck have you been? hope everything's OK

Hi Starfish
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on 'Complicit'.
It was a long long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it was only £10.
I think I chose SA as it was the easiest place to emigrate to, and to get back from.
Sad eh?

Thank you so much I appreciate your kindness.please tell your friends about my poems!thank u

Thanks for the kind comment on my owl poem. But I hope you were able to access the film and soundtrack too? Just click on the link - cos the poem itself is an oldie :)

Thanks for your kind observations on eleven eleven. the older we get the more permutations flood into the mind for the reasons of past events in history and the consequences of them K.E.D.

Hi Starfish! Glad you liked the book shop. It's a pity so many of them are clsing down.

HI again. I googled the Farley poem, so here it is. So now you've got all the top poems about the Year of the Big FReeze!

Hi Starfish Thanks for the kind comments on Annus MIrabilis. Glad you spoted the Larkin connection. I did it on purpose. Both poems are about 1963 and start of with a Beatles reference and 'problems' with girls. Paul Farley has also done a gone one about that year, but he focuses on the death of Sylvia PLath. If you want o try to find it, it's called 1th February, 1963 and is a collection Called THe Ice Age.

Thank you for your lovely comment.

re: 'trial & tribulations'- thanks for the kind comments - glad you liked it m'dear :-)
