Sadly, an all too frequent occurrence - the death of wild life on our roads. Here, in the UK, it happens to badgers and foxes or the
occasional rabbit. With vehicles and their headlights having been
around for many decades, you might think that a word of warning
would have been handed down in the animal world by now !

Flavia,

I enjoyed this poem for its juxtaposition between desire and hesitancy when head rules the heart but the heart speaks back. A clever poem. A very good poem

Thank you for this

Emeka is a young aspiring poet with enormous potential who has already grasped the fact that poetry, a peaceful tool, can influence events and highlight what is taking place in his country. He is highly observant and articulate. Nigeria needs to be aware that there are, amongst its citizens, intelligent young people who can see what the government is doing and they are not fooled. Emeka we salute you

Emeka,

This is a very powerful poem indeed. The words, "We boiled in our fear" clearly expresses the effects of such violence. Journalists will report these happenings but only a poet will be able to capture the emotions which are at play. Very well written.
Take great care of yourself and your family.

Keith

Clive,

This poem has a quality all of its own as you use the language in an almost exquisite way. "Sand on toes in fizziness", " they wont leave until I have gone a brown leaf about to fall". A superb piece of writing.
Thank you for this

Thank you for your kind feedback Paul and Keith. This poem was inspired by the Goo Goo Dolls song Autumn Leaves. I wasn’t even sure which direction it would go. Interesting you picked up on that Keith. I love poems that vary based on the reader’s interpretation.

Paul, Tom, Ray, Keith, Greg and J.D,
I am incredibly grateful for your comments.

Bon, Julie and Stephen, thanks for the 'likes'. I am indebted to you.

These are dark times for a lot of people, which present difficulties for a whole generation in many ways.
'The Old Get Older And The Young Get Younger'. Strange to think that when Jim Morrison wrote that it meant change of a completely different kind.

Pass the cocoa Graham, I need an antidote! Also a bit sweaty....

Sorry Keith i'd never do that - without the medication I might stiffen up then I would need the lubrication.

Brian good thinking , nothing's all bad of course - apart from the President of the United States of America.

Tony thanks mate. I feel for your restrictions, we all need a bit of levity. Mine is rising up at the moment as a way of dealing with things.

Nice one, John, thanks for reminding me of that, excellent.

- one thing, "of the black crows" perhaps could be "from the black crows" if possible. Just for syllables/rhythm.

Original item by Ian Whiteley

I like that you made this real with "but not anymore". It broke the situation from witty humor - which was playful, clever, and entertaining, into a little slap-in-your-face reality. Something seemingly small changed the life and consequently the person on a core level.
