Hello Louise,
I was so very saddened to read your post above. I have so often enjoyed reading your poetry, those little stories with dark, cheeky twists that made my imagination go off on wicked tangents.
I have no doubt you will have more of them to share in the future and I hope you will look to us here on WoL as your extended and welcoming poetry family.
As David said, keep writing as and when you can. As devastating as the results of the stroke have been I sincerely hope gradual and continued improvements will come your way over the coming months and years.
Love and hugs,
Colin xx

Certainly, I'm prepared to accept the title of this poem,
recalling the lines that tell of the searcher for El
Dorado. I like to think of it in an analogy with TV signals...
not heard, felt or seen UNTIL the right apparatus kicks in.
Is our life a prelude to getting that ability to connect to an existence beyond our worldly ken?
The memoir of the late Air Marshal Sir Victor Goddard "Skies to Dunkirk" is worth searching out for its author's
extraordinary life and his own later belief in the spiritual world, highlighted by his account of being told by a third party of events relating to the death of a close friend
known only to Goddard and the deceased. Fascinating stuff!

This is so clever- deserved three readings before I was happy with my giving it proper attention.
Haven't seen you in ages. I hope all is well. Or am I wrong? I could have sworn I recognised the name from years ago. But your profile does not seem to bear this out.

Brilliant. You will always be my favourite twenty-first century satirical post-rock humorous verse poet Mr Spangles and I join you in worshipping your goddess! My 3D postcard is in the virtual reality post. Enjoy your Poem of the Week week. Col.

I like this lots Martin. There's the inevitable looking at the past through rose tinted spectacles element but then why not remember the good times and forget the bad? Yep, I'm still nineteen inside myself and hope I always will be. It just gets harder as each year passes to be as carefree as a nineteen year old - the weight of years is hard to shrug off. I guess finding mental freedom gets harder too as we grow older. I know plenty of people who continue to find some sense of it with the aid of alcohol. I prefer to find it on a long hike or road trip. Each to their own. A good poem makes me waffle. Thanks for posting. Colin.

Thanks, Cynthia! I have definitely been influenced by hiphop. I've actually just had to embrace this fact about myself bc I don't particularly fit that mold, physically. However, it most certainly is woven into my heart and rears it's head at times. I always appreciate your input! Thanks again!

Martin, thank you for this comment. The two dimensional world is in the ascendancy. Spirituality, if acknowledged, is only a hobby to be pursued at leisure. I believe in things seen and unseen which is borne out of experience and from the third dimension. Thank you again. Keith

You have oodles of talent Ruby. Congratulations! I echo raypool's perceptive comment, that your work "has a winsome quality": some synonyms of winsome are: 'appealing, engaging, charming, winning,endearing, enchanting, captivating, fetching...' all of these epithets (and more) suit aspects of your work. Keep writing! John

I agree with Martin it did read like a song. For me It was over too soon, I'd have liked it to have been longer. Possibly with the first verse repeated at the end. (just an idea, I don't want to get cheeky)

There is some real richness here in this poem with dare I say it a sense of wanting to grasp hold of and understand life a bit more of life. Maybe I am being a little out there with such comments.
But either way a cracking poem Keith

'We chase our tails like playful dogs is such a great metaphor' such a great line
I think also your title is so right . There is so much in our world and our own little worlds that is out of our sphere of understanding. Much of which always continues to amaze me.
Nice one Keith

A splendid piece Cynthia, beautifully culled.
I must say you have distilled the very essence of childhood tales at their nocturnal best.
I vividly remember that great grandfather's clock keeping me awake, until I learnt to see it as a sweet substitute for a lullaby.
Here's something to ponder over -- A Buddhist friend once said to me "you will only notice the presence of a clock when it stops ticking".

MC., thanks for coming back on this one. Thank you also for mentioning the Memoirs of Air Marshall Sir Victor Goddard. I shall endeavour to find a copy of this work.
Your third sentence raises a very interesting issue regarding spirituality and its relevance to our present existence. Basically my answer would be ýes´. If we acknowledge a third or spiritual dimension then we should attempt to explore it here and now. There are various avenues in respect to this and any forward movement needs to be carefully considered as many charlatans abound. You have touched upon a subject which can unleash an enormous field of interest and study. Thank you again.
Keith
