Thank you Jon, I am not sure many think animals worthy of poems especially the humble donkey..I do..but then I am biased as I have five miniature donkeys. They are extremely gentle intelligent creatures..?

Now Chris and Kate you've me confused
'Bout which frequencies I have seen
Are they blue or they green or they reddish ?
Now so mixed up is my colour scene ?

Thanks, Wendy and Hugh.
I saw a rat this morning on my way to work. Along with the news I heard about Mr. Trump and his tweets on the radio I had to meld the two together.
Funny that??!!

It's not so much about 309 U
As about perception
Do the same neurons fire for you
Or are you an exception!
We both call grass green and sky blue
- that's what we learned to do
But perhaps your brain sees green
And Kate G sees what I mean
As something I would call red
Instead!

Luxury!!?? Ridiculous that they are taxed.
I personally believe they these products should be, if not, free then, subsidised on the health service.
Nice one, Don.

It takes a mass movement of people
To sort out the problems we face
If left to politicians it's hopeless
They only want to win their electoral race
I can scream, I can shout all I want to
Wax lyrical on double-u-o-ell
But I'm just a poor lowly little poet
Who's saying what I want, want to tell
No dear reader, it takes more than one
To change things to how they should be
It takes a mass movement of people
It takes a lot more than just me ?

Thank you, Taylor and Brian.
Brian, I try to feel a tinge of empathy for the man, but his antagonistic attitude towards things and people really goades me.
Oh well, life goes on. ?
Thanks, again.

Keith, I always find your writing profound but this piece is extraordinary. You bring to light the unfairness which is that one man's life has more value than another because of rank. Sad but truthful! Well done. ? Jane

Your poem Chris has got me hooked
An explanation I might have for you
About this strange blue/greenish mix
Which you call Mermaid Blue
Your title holds the key to this
Uranium 309
Recognised by scientists for
It's green and bluish shine ?

Bah humbug Brian - I have a CD entitled that, with tracks like "Santa Bloody Claus", and "He's The Man Who Slits The Turkey's Throats At Christmas"
Yes, MC, the spam Christmas emails have started. I have a special folder for them, called "Deleted Items"!
Thanks Taylor.
And Rose - love the chorus! ?

if I don't see you before 'then' Trev, all the best!
shall we round the good news of Christmas drawing near off with a hearty metaphorical fireside renditioning of;
# we two nutters of write out loud are
bored to fuck in having to follow that star
over field and mountain
to escape xmas costs that are mounting

Nice poem - very nostalgic- agree with Keith that a ruined or demolished house has something sad about it.

Very well-styled and expressed existential piece.
I note that 8 of the last 9 POTW winners have been female. Going from strength to strength in poetry, as in most other fields.

You've taught me something Keith
Specific, not overall
That moths they do indeed have
Little moth-like balls
Which leads me to believe that
When you say mothballed
The little helpless moth
(Gets kicked where it does hurt ...)
Sorry dk sidetracking
From your moth-like verse
I'm just elaborating Keith-like
Stepped on, mothballed, what's worse ?
