Brilliant, nostalgic poem Keith, I remember some of the that too and it was on a glance over the shoulder of time. Loved it.

Intriguing and gets us wondering Branwell. Such an easy poem to follow with its easy rhyme, but the thoughts make us uneasy!

Hi John. I didn't want to get bogged down on the discussion board when it seems to functioning quite well without my further intervention. But I did enjoy your heavily loaded references to "offensive" literary material, and thought it was not only relevant but entertaining in its take on the moderation process, which I have noticed in the past has been levelled against you. But I'm pleased to say you don't lie down!
regards, Ray

Chrystel,
As it is often said, "beauty is only skin deep".A poem which exposes a myth and so well written.
Thank you

Jason - I am naturally attracted to poems that rhyme so this one obviously fits that criteria, and I have to say this is one of the best pieces I've seen on here for some time. Good stuff!

And there, my friend, you have hit the nail smack on the head. The silver crowned queen. I think as we get older our eyes get better at seeing beauty, we see beyond the depth of skin.

I am a little typewriter
Sitting in the shop
I may look old and type-worn
But still can type full stops ..........
..................................................
My keys are still together
My ribbon is intact
My 'a' through use so many times
Is just a little cracked
I see you looking at me
Through the window shop
Please take me home and love me
Buy me now, chop-chop ?

"Son, all I've ever asked of my Marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Viet-namese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've just got to keep our heads until this peace craze blows over."

Lynn, if you had looked at my previous reply to Jonathan, you would see that it is necessary to turn up on the day to get your name on the list. It's certainly not limited to users of Write Out Loud, whether they are banned or not!

Porta-potties I do love

Sometimes not telling the full story is more powerful than telling the full story. Cleverly done, I do hope she's alright though.
