if the light did not come on
and it occurs again
get a new light bulb
things are looking dim
the question unanswered
is it the bulb or him
that's losing his brightness
either way it's a no win!

Big toes are firm
hold feet to ground
but big people should not
shove other people around.

Don, re my latest beef about junk mail. Is that something you get troubled with in Oz? Woz just wondering. Might check it out with some of my family members living out in your neck of the woods as well. Cheers. P.

way past my prime

Acquiring age

in the meantime

consider-
writing a poem without rhyme
put some thought into it
put your self into it
give us the real you
see what happens
free yourself

the poem was just about
how some people do not change,
live in the past
right down to the same clothes etc.

Woodstock is the little yellow bird in Charley Brown-

PEACE.

Good morning Don,

Not only is my name often mis-spelt, I have the added burden of seeing it shortened to ‘Chris'...such is life!

Hi Don,

I appreciate your comments regarding my work. I was rather nervous about starting my blog, but you- along with a few others- have given me the confidence to continue.

Your poem ‘Poets Should Have Standards' is excellent, and I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed.

You are my favourite profile for the following reasons: You're ‘drawn to rhyme'; you mentioned Oscar Wilde in your poem ‘Comma Dilemma' AND I enjoy reading your poems!

Have an awesome weekend

Hi Don - thanks for commenting on Bells - don't lie down for too long Quasimodo is just around the corner - and you know how he kicks off when the bells start bonging away. Keeps on calling out for Esmerelda. ?

Don re HTS - always good to get positive feedback - will be heading off to the Spoons later for me daily slurpo as the Aussies might say. Better I make sure there's no Kango poo on the pavement though - wouldn't want to slip up. You never know with my local town what's going on with all the whirring cranes - ever the building site is Woking - you want to take a look at the place - always something to write about here that's for sure or do I mean gripe about. Whatever. Cheers. P ?
