Love a prerequisite for separation is a prerequisite for forgetting- well, maybe it's the other way around. Like I this. Tommy

Hi Vicky,

I specially like your Excess Baggage. You show us how to deal with our own issues, but you are also cleverly telling the story of Pandora's box, with hope hidden underneath all the woes. Nice one.

This is an interesting form Ria. It sounds as if it is a conversation between two people. It expresses bewilderment and pain from both sides I think. It shows how ambiguous this sort of situation can be, not wanting to give up but realising the danger. You are not afraid of hard subjects are you?
Well written.

Thanks for reading and your comment makes me feel that I may have achieved to convey 'loneliness' using my scribble. That gives me great satisfaction. Thank you x

Comment is about Recovery Position (blog)

You have a very honest way in your poetry, lovely, thoughtful and refreshing, a strange encounter seems pleasing that it was a brief encounter too, although in the mans defence, I don't think he is on his own, I think most men notice charms first :-), bless you, have a merry Christmas.. What's left, I hope you have a fun filled new year too.

Most of us have been touched by cancer in one way or another, the unbearable sickness caused by chemotherapy doubles up the agony of this evil disease, well thought out. Tragic.

Hi Cynthia, I am glad you reposted this one. I have been struggling a bit to feel any connection to Christmas as where I am it's mid summer - so perhaps I need to do a bit of research into Summer solstice and traditions. Anyway, appreciate the post - can see why it's one of your favourites x

I love the brevity of this, but can't quite shrug off the feeling it *may* be just a touch derivative. Heaney, perhaps? Or was it Ted Hughes? Someone will know, I'm sure.

Happy wotsit, Tommy.

A repost, yes. Indulgent? Oh, yes. Unashamedly? That too.
