That is a delightful photo above, so full of possible symbolism! The handwriting in a notebook. Even the decoration on the little, hand-thrown pot sitting upon a rough, plank table.

Maybe I'm totally off the mark, but, honestly, that is how my eyes swept over it, and had to look again, and smile.

Thanks for posting. But my article is nit about religion politics but about the migrant labor who are working in far away states. Due to covid19, unemployment due to covid 19, panic and poverty they are traveling back to their hometown 1000s of km away.Due to lockdown all the railway station and other public transport are shutdown.

Regarding religion-Don't trust bbc world or media trying to build the gap. INDIA is and always will be secular democratic country with Unity in Diversity.
My article is not about religion based politics but the plight of migrant labor who are stuck in state thousands of Km away. It is about life of poverty. Locals, media are trying as much as possible but strong policy is required to help lakhs of people migrating 1000+km By THEIR Foot. Yes By Walking.
Not every news of India is about religion ❤️

Yes, I'm still working with children at the school, although Lockdown has made it very difficult. Only the most vulnerable can attend.
I enjoy reading your poems very much and thank you for your comments on mine.

I didn't realise you were having another lean time, David. The leaving of Grimsby? But you're compensating by the huge amount of work you're doing with The High Window. That is becoming a great achievement.

Yes, Greg, that was the one that got me started again after all that time. I had eight amazingly prolific years in which I must have written getting on for 300 poems until three years ago I stopped again. It is all a bit of a mystery to me. It seems to me that the real poems come unbidden and I don't need to chasing after the ones that don't need to be written.

Hello Po, thank you for the welcome and for your kind words about my poem.

I've actually been on the site for a while but due to a technical glitch haven't been able to post anything recently, however I'm pleased to say a kind soul at WOL helpline has restored me and I hope to find my way around and read the wonderful words of likeminded people like yourself.

Hi, Adam,I really enjoyed your excellent comment on 'VE Day, 2020'. And I've considered it a lot. I finally think it was the 'sound element' that dictated the word order, the slight 'mmm' of both words beginning and ending the 'idea', almost like a bracket, kind of a 'thoughtful' sound. 'War'' is a difficult vocallization to start a line. But that order has more 'elegance', I absolutely agree. Not to mention correct grammar.

Hi JC - a PS about Victor Goddard.
He experienced possibly the most famous "slip through time" ever recorded in history when in 1936 he flew over the near-derelict site
of Drem Airfield in Scotland in a heavy storm. He suddenly saw in bright sunlight a meticulously accurate vision of its airfield as it was
to be four or five years later, with the yellow monoplanes which
had not yet been invented being wheeled out by mechanics in the
brown overalls which had not yet been adopted.
In 1937 he contributed a major counter espionage coup when a
visiting delegation of German dignitaries came to Britain to seek
an alliance at the urging of the pro-German Brown House Group.
The idea was that with Britain's control of the seas and its
colonial resources, and Germany's envisaged control of Europe
(nothing new under the sun, is there??), together the two countries could rule the world. Pretending to be pro-Nazi, Goddard fed the
visiting WW1 flying ace Udet with disinformation, convincing the latter who had been entrusted with the technical plans for the new Luftwaffe that Germany should not build four-engined bombers.
Udet swallowed this but committed suicide when he realised he
had been fooled and that Britain had achieved a "bomber edge"
by building the very four-engined bomber that he Udet had been persuaded to abandon.
There are other examples of this man's amazing active life but
this is a good example ot be going on with. You are certainly on
the button about him being a man who helped save Britain.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my poem Bully the week. Reading your work and looking at your blog I have to say I am a big fan of telling stories in poetry as well as through books and short stories . You have an engaging style and although I don't go on WOL as much as I used to I look forward to reading more of your work.
