Lovely, evocative poem, Julie. Mind you, winter may not have said its last word, as they say round here.

Thanks for this, Stephen. Good fun. Interesting memories of the lad. There was a boy of similar habits at our school (just one?) who was transformed from a very ordinary tennis player into a potential grand-slam champion if he had recently indulged. Something to do with relaxation, I suppose......

Thanks, Keith. Each line conjures up a new image and yet the whole poem hangs together as one narrative. Really interesting.

The thought of how this might be to see our life span in full circle
looking at it as in spirit form with your soul lover together at last
perhaps in heaven.

Always searching for what could be we can only keep faith
and fighting to make this a better world while we try to live life to the full while still helping others in this moment of time.

I like your poetry a lot and how you are always looking towards the next level Aviva.

John,
Well said as I can recall when in the Arab world I was unable to convince the devout about freedom of speech and freedom in general. It was as if the granting of freedom would release people to think for themselves and so inspire them to doubt or oppose their faith teachings.
I enjoyed this as it resonates with my past.
Thank you
Keith

Comparing Armitage to Johnny Keats is like comparing custard to champagne. There is no basis for any comparison.

A simple little piece, but who knows why we write about certain things or how they come into our heads? All part of life's rich tapestry, or perhaps lottery!

Best wishes to you all.

Comment is about Old Trousers (blog)

Original item by Stephen Gospage

Thanks Keith. Think we've all had one of THOSE hangovers! ?. They're actually song lyrics for a friend, & based on a lad who loved a 'magic mushroom' or two! He once ran past the pub one fine summers day, screaming about his fridge growing teeth & chasing after him... And another time he was hysterical crying on the floor near the pool table. When he could eventually talk he told us that he'd thought he was an orange ? & that he was terrified that we would peel him... Like I say, must've been a strange old Day ! ?

And thank you so much Rose, Aviva and Stephen, truth is I've been writing this for about 3 or 4 weeks. Unusual for me, usually I'm more in the region of 15 or 20 minutes, but it just brought back so many memories.
Glad you liked it. ?❤

Stephen,
I really enjoyed this poem and its humour. After reading the first few stanzas I thought I wonder what he's on as I could do with some myself. A poem which holds the readers attention and one which those who have suffered from hangovers will recognise.
Thank you for this.
Keith

Love the poem and love the tag too. ?

Metaphysically impossible I know, but somehow it made me ponder what it might be like if our entire lives became like a record that afterwards we are able to replay from start to finish as often as we want to - the full span of it shrunk to almost no time at all against the duration of eternity, we could watch it again and again and it would comprise our heaven and hell depending on what our lives were, and how we would feel about all of its moments from time's distance.

Thank you Nigel, I didn't realise the line even referred to loss of self (an unrealised duality) as I was thinking at the time of loss of other types of things, but your comment has not only made me recognise it holds that meaning too, but also reassured me that yes, whatever I lose of myself my soul will find again if it or I need it found.

I'm not sure whether you have special confidence in my soul or souls in general, but either way, thank you.

A great poem, thanks for sharing it.

That feeling of never enough is indeed an innate characteristic of our psyche because we need ongoing purpose, though whether that is societal or beyond that I am not certain, The more we can release the sense of not enough from mundane needs the higher purpose we can end up pursuing, or put more understandably once we have decided we have enough for ourselves we usually begin wanting things for others rather than not wanting anything else at all.
