What is the point that Don, Adam and Graham are hoping to achieve with their negative simplicity?
Am i losing something?
I appreciate the points from Ruth.

Surely Chrystel has a valid point.
Why the negativity folks?

Tommy

psps. I think that I may have missed some of the finer points made by Don, Adam and Graham. Apologies if I have.

Hey Ruth,

I thought it would be good to give the story a twist... a winner sometimes may end up being the biggest loser!
Not that I don't concur with your poem! lol

Hi Ruth,

There is so much hypocrisy in this world. So glad you appreciated the humour as well as the message in the poem!

Ruth, re: 'Schizophrenia', the 'first/real' me has always loved ice cream and still does. It was the 'secondary me' who had the aversion. I was very fortunate that I did not get totally 'freaked' about the 'second personality'. Perhaps it was a kind of innate arrogance to refuse 'her' credibility/access. I had blindly heard of such situations, but had no experience with such 'manifestations' whatsoever. None.It was a very scary time.

I so 'feel' for anyone afflicted in this way. It must be awful. Both for the victim, and the people associated, whoever they might be. But the whole experience made me a far more sympathetic person, and open to people's experiences that often seem to be 'bizarre'. Who can presume 'to know'!

How kind of you to 'scope' some poems from a while back. And then to comment. Thanks!

I live in Sale, Greater Manchester. After being so ill for months, when I finally took a tram ride into the city this late spring, I couldn't believe the alterations in the skyline - the construction of high rises! I felt as though I were in a Star Wars movie set! I really was shocked. Almost intimidated.Are you also aware like this? Or is it just me?

'To be a writer' is fab. I do appreciate 'short' as well as 'long'. Although you well might wonder.

You are so right Ruth
those cheeky leprechauns dance more and more while I am under the spell of magical ale!

I like your poetry. What was the name of your grandad who wrote plays in Ireland?
