HI, Antonio

Yes, there will be lots of changes when he takes the sit! I wonder how all things will be...? It is a huge puzzle now as to the future in general so to speak...Well time will tell.
Your poem is wonderful and thought provoking!
Great work!

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Obama makes me nervous, but as a Democrat, he should remain true to Democracy. Or so I hope, and change is coming.

And we will see where it leads.

Hi, Tomas.

Thank you for your comment. Walls can be our allies, keep the cold hands of life out, or it can be our enemy, keeping life away from us. But no matter what wall we stand behind, everything we are will always be known to the ghosts walking through like in your poem, The Unseen Shadow, which I really liked. :)

Hauntingly beautiful. With your words, you paint a gentle ghost hoping to reach the void for her love, but instead she stays with us, walking through the walls we keep in our lives. :)

I take it you decided to polish off the lot then.
Wine that is!

Quite quirky this one. Varied but interesting imagery. Along with the usual negativity about the weather. It's no wonder we get so much rain in this country. We wish it upon ourselves.
Love Janet.xx

Hi Jeff,

I think a lot of us have felt this kind of pain and humiliation; it is how we deal with it that matters. Thanks for a great comment.

Are bikes those things you buy, only to leave in a shed for spiders to play on and spin webs in their frames?
Nice one Ant...

My, you're a busy man!
Loved the comparison between red and white wine. I reckon there's room for both in my life.

John Peel. What fantastic memories!
This is funny as it is serious. Great poem, just oozing with imagery.

I love York as a place to visit as well!
Thanks for sharing. Janet.x

Hi guys, this reminded me of trying to ride my first bike. Disaster. Fell off and scuffed my wrists. Never since managed even to drive a car. How sad is this. Poetry is so personal. love it. Sandy.

Comment is about Two wheels good (blog)

Hi Antonio, quite deep for you, and although I don't fully understand it, sounds like a bit of fear and apprehension there, Jeff ps thanks for your comment, I agree it seems that those who care most tend to be those with little anyway. Have a good break!

Hi Carol, I've never heard of Haiku, will have to google it! interesting concept and very thought provoking statement, Jeff

Machiavellianly. Such a heavenly word yet means nothing of the sort. (if you know what i mean.)
Reminds me of my niece who insisted she did not need stabilizers. She fell off!
Not only that, she refused to even look at the bike again for several weeks.
ps. Hope you bought her a hard hat!
love janet.xx

Comment is about Two wheels good (blog)

I can think of something useful to do at home alone, but admittedly, it's better with two.
Parts of this one made me smile and yet there's a sadness too. Strange range of emotions Antonioni.
Love Janet.xx

The dust i can cope with, just about.
It's the bloody mites that get me, little blighters.

But apart from that, love this sonnet. I can't think of a better word than Sandres, "classy", so i'll just put "very" in front.

I feel in your words some chaos and the day do not look as peaceful as it should be. There was just a cover up in your choices what you were going to do at that particular evening. Mysterious -Other then that nice poem.

Hello, Carol

This is a compact Haiku poem. Thoughts are quite philosophical, almost on time with the prices that are rocket high all over the World.

Deep psychological poem - All makes sense in todays fast pace world. I hope it will not get any worse then it is. Wishful thinking, I guess...?

Hi, Antonio

I was impressed with a thing like dust to create a poem out of it, and you certainly did. Impressive write! You know that the dust particles are more visible when the sun shine is on...There is never ending job with dusting. I have the same problem here. Try your best and in the morning the dust sits again especially on a darker surfaces...Thank you for the interesting poem...Enjoyed reading.

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna
