Shimmering words slide across sea-shells;
Franglais babies reach out to the world -
Poetry translates from pole to pole,
Beautiful in any language.
Nigel’s naked naughtiness
And still we ask “Why?”
Down the generations, -
Fatherless shaped spaces.
Today has been a really good day
Crushed into a cattle-truck;
While ghosts await visitors,
Evil masters come out at night to play.
Surprised you still have some teeth left, Nigel!
The sweets were indeed sweet (ouch!)
Yes what a great night and an excellent collage poem love the ear phones on the image John
and may I wish everyone a happy Christmas too.
P.S thanks for the sweeties Dorinda they went down well
P.P.S yes I did ask if anyone else wanted one as I sucked on two
All the best for 2013
What a great meeting we had last night! - I think this must be one of the very best collage poems we've done.
And now... the following really is sincerely meant:
"I have to say, for it is true:
I thank God for each one of you"
Have a lovely, lovely Christmas and a happy new year........and here's to the next twelve months - and more - of Stockport Write Out Loud!
Love from Dorinda

Thank you for your good wishes after my recent accident. After spending a lot of time in hospital over the last few weeks, my thoughts turned to this poem by Charles Causley "Ten Types of Hospital Visitor" enjoy!
I'll be back soon I hope. All good wishes for a Happy New Year.
