This put me in mind of my piece 'Typical Archetypal Archetypes'. Nice piece Bernadette. Love the profile pic :)

Fast and funny. I like the ambiguity of not quite knowing the significance of the photo used, whether you are 'ooh lala-ing' a child or an adult; or vice versa. It was the use of 'tonight'.

Hi Berni, yes, I do like the picture and it does compliment the poem - where do you find them? I could really do with adding some pics for my poems too! Have to agree with Stef about your new profile picture - what a lovely little boy! xxx

Stef - if I could scrub up that well I really would be laughing!!! xxx
