The ocean currents are against us for the foreseeable future. But rest assured the waters will calm and we shall return back to normality.
Thank you for striking the like.

Hi Jason! masterfully written as usual, a beautifully orchestrated theme. Agree with Keith about it being comforting and giving a feeling of hope that the coming day might be better than the previous one. In my humble opinion, one of your best.

Thanks also Stephen and Elizabeth for the likes. Amusing to see how many people evidently can relate to 'moon lies', evidently very common among us!!! Have to admit telling one or two myself. Is giving someone the wrong phone no. one?

Some work hard to achieve something but once achieved they forget their value and start treating it like possession they have right over.
That's where they get wrong in a relationship it's not something but someone you work for.

Thanks Tom, Keith, Vautaw, Ruth, Bluesky and DW Hamilton for the likes, and Tom, Keith and Paul for the generous comments. Was reading about the Yemen war, to try and understand why it was happening, and was really shocked. A whole generation of kids unable to go to school, and it is a very poor country at the best of times. They had that beautiful capital, Sana'a, which is in ruins too.
Am not proud of the arms dealing side, Paul!

Expectations are one thing that sometimes hurts you in ways you can't express.
Every one expect you to behave in a particular manner without giving a thought about how u might fell about it.

Mirror is a great reflector. It not only reflects light but once conflicting emotions with equal force.
Many a times i as well stand and ask myself as to why the once shining eyes are now dull??

Excellent advice Hugh! Also try and keep your friends close, and think about you have still got, and should be thankful for - a home, reasonable health, a pet, or whatever, rather than moaning about what you don't have anymore! Being on WOL also helps, I think!

Really funny, and beautifully describes the totally unexpected turn events as normal as going to a concert can take! A white stick can also be used to advantage in many ways, apart from actually having impaired vision. (Dare I say 'being blind')?

Beautiful poem about lovely flowers. Cistus I think, with leaves like sage leaves. Where we go to the sea there are these, also with white flowers, and a later kind with yellow flowers and sticky leaves.
Really liked this.

I’m in A.A. and one of the things my sponsor always encourages me to do is to write out what I am feeling. While this is a brand new practice for me, I am finding that it gives me relief and helps me deal with the emotions I am experiencing.

Paul Sayer is even in here.
He is everywhere.
I think he may be an anarchist
trying to infiltrate each site for devious purposes.
He even changed his name to disguise his real identity.
I think he may be a double agent poet.

You're Blues for David tracks are fantastic! Just been listen to both of them. Listening to Blues is just perfect for these times we're living through as well. Maybe you could do a piece about our new changed world one day?!

Who could guess a fetish
Before the day you met
Don't you tell them beforehand
It's something you'll regret
Let her fall for your wit
Let her fall for your charm
By time you smell her armpit
You'll not be a cause for alarm! ?

Stuart,
This poem explores the personality of the composer and throws light on how it influenced his music. It is well rhymed and beautifully written. I too am a great fan of Beethoven.
Thank you for this

Once again, this is an updated version of a poem on Beethoven, which I have written before. There are more verses and some alterations.

I am sadly very ambivalent about all this strife in the Middle East, except for the effects it all has on the children. How can they ruin the young lives so badly in the name of their bloody religion. They are truly damned!
I love Ray’s brevity in this piece. Suffer the children etc........

John,
the opening stanza ignites my imagination but then I feel somewhat adrift. I shall read this again several times as it merits further study as there is good deal to absorb.

Thanks for coming back Paul. In the UK at Portsmouth were fleets of wartime destroyers awaiting breaking, your comment just reminded me . That was in 1952. So much heavy metal wherever.

Thanks Keith, that's really great to hear.
Holly Hagg is a place, a farm actually, about 10 minutes from my house in Sheffield. Halfway down (or up) a big hill that I've been walking daily on ever expanding hikes. I never quite realised just how close I am to the countryside and so many great walks. Lockdown has opened my eyes not only to the beauty of my city but also to the genuine high (and creative inspiration) you get from exercise. This poem is a little note of thanks to that discovery.

Thank you Cathy, Stephen and DW.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
TS Eliot, Burnt Norton

Jennifer,
this is what poetry is all about, to expose raw reality, pointing the finger and using unadulterated language. An excellent poem outlining the problems that beset the world and the sinister characters who hide behind their veils and reek evil on the innocent.
Thank you for this

Loved this one! It's rather a trite thing to say, but very wealthy people ( not that I have met many), often don't seem very happy with it all.Think that Keith is right to say that often small daily treats like his, available to us all, give more satisfaction. If you can obtain absolutely anything you desire, do you still want the things?Think of the Getty family from Grandad Getty down. Have also known a couple of families, like your aunt, who were really generous, both with their time and money, and they were obviously delighted to be able to do this. Jennifer
