Yes kisses are lovely. But what about Covid. I've had a few covid dates now. I'm looking forward to the next one. It better happen this time. I'm sick and tired of the virtual world.

Ok well this is going to sound wierd if not stupid but it really did happen, during a meditation session I heard a woman's voice like she was standing right next to me shouting in Spanish and I got the profound feeling she was calling to me. She called me Nicorates. I wrote a poem about it actually called My Name Was Nicorates. It all felt so real, clairaudience I think they call it.

I believe we are reincarnated .
Sometimes I meet someone and its a stronger feeling than just familiarity .
Don't laugh
But I believe I was a nun in a past life .
When I first went to Dublin.
I knew I had been there before in a different lifetime. I feel that way about Greece too.
In the USA I had familiar feelings in New York.
Perhaps its all my celtic roots coming through .
I would like to ask you .
How do you feel in Italy.
Because by my reckoning you have been there in a different lifetime.

I assume from your response, MC, that this means you had (and still have no clue) about which way you voted on any of the issues I detailed.

What a nice little ditty.
And did you take your sunglasses with you as well as your hat, socks and whatever else. Also suncream. Although fake tan is better but it gets all over the bed sheets and makes one look like ones been Tangoed. Which would never do for ones reputation now would it?

Still harking back to the war, MC ... I'm too young to recall it personally. But 'the war' seems to be what Brexit is all about. Why?!

Disenchantment....decision....detachment.
We faced WW2 and declared war without much in the way of planning as I recall. But the time obtained the actions and we had
people with the strength of mind to make it work. It's a reality I
accept that we have a lack of that character in those around today
to see us move forward and get the job done. But necessity will
be a prime driver towards eventual completion of the decision to depart. Survival has been a thread through our history and self-
destruction is hardly aligned to the idea of life here. Self-interest
has its limitations when push comes to shove in the real world. I
take a more optimistic view of the future. Perhaps being born and
brought up by the sea instilled a DNA that seeks a return to wider
horizons beyond the artificial (as in "artifice") construction across
the Channel that poses and postures its way into disrepute.

Love islands, each is a little world unto itself. On the Mediterranean ones there isn't much mud, and what they most feared were the Saracen pirates probably, who captured, enchained and enslaved. Agree with Keith about there being impediments and joys, but only going for the summer the joys are far more than the impediments. Great writing.

John Doe - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › John_Doe
"John Doe" and "Jane Doe" (for females) are multiple-use names that are used when the true name of a person is unknown or is being intentionally concealed.
Name is intentionally kept a secret in this case.

I was born on an island and have lived for some time on two other islands in different parts of the world. This poem speaks of the impediments and joys of island life. An interesting read.

This poem borders on the genre of surreal poetry of which I am a great fan. It is very descriptive and merits a second if not third reading.

Oh my goodness she must be terrified of your constant knock,
And reading your poem, out of her mind she will block.
The passion and destruction is taking over your mind,
Write something different and to her be kind.

It is just that Jane Doe is a term I understood is used when they find a dead body and can't identify who it is yet.?

Is this one supposed to be about a stalker who is intending to murder the resident female? If so, then it tells the theme effectively - but if not, not.

I like the name Poetica. I’ve sat in many classrooms and workshops where aspiring poets attempt to interpret meaning from poems. It’s fascinating and sometimes exhausting, but that’s part of the process and it’s true for me too that sometimes I don’t understand what my muse is trying to say, but I write it down anyway. Good piece that made me think!

I'm not entirely certain that I've understood the poem properly, but I like what I think it means. I'm imagining that lightning might strike quite a few times in the same place, and I have to feel relaxed about possibly not understanding the full or true meaning of the poem since the poet might not either.

Hi Jennifer and Keith,
Thank you so much for your interest and thoughts on this rumination.
It occurred to me the other day that I've only ever lived on islands - the UK and Australia. Then I started wondering whether that has influenced my outlook on the world and its travails.
I concluded that, given that I have deep roots in both, it must have.
In spite of the ending, I have a homeland on both sides of the world.
All the best,
Chris
