STRANGER THAN FICTION

You touched my hand,

I was a stranger in paradise

stranger than fiction.

Come to think of it,

I don't dwell on them too often,

such moments of benediction.

Hi Jennifer. I saw that you had been having trouble so it's good to have it sorted, so I'm so pleased you liked this - I find it easier to be brief in words . It's been a while since I posted anything, had other priorities , so thanks for looking in!

Po, your message comes at an opportune time in the calendar. We certainly all need comfort and hope , a good mix indeed!

Glad to be of assistance Don, cheers.

Season's greetings and i'll put a word in to the Almighty.

I like short poems Ray. Well done.

Jennifer, don't take this the wrong way but your computer is still a little wonky. It's created a new word which doesn't appear in the dictionary. 'saythat'. On the other hand we could say your telephone company lady has imparted a hitherto new unknown creative streak to your computer. I would encourage it's new talent to take us into the realms of 'unknown' poetry.

What's that? It's just a typo?....

I was just trying to help.......

Trust you to go spoil my fun.....
