There's something primaeval about being alone in the dark. In a forest? by a lake? You like your adrenalin, Banksy!

Hi Stef and Tricia, trust you enjoyed your few days away. I haven't been on here much because I broke the screen on my laptop at the beginning of last week! And we have just spent the weekend away in Norfolk. Just borrowing Colin's pc while he's watching tv! Both enjoying retirement now BIG TIME! Keep well, love, Lynn xx

Liked 'Breakfast Pots'. Humorous topped with a light sprinkling of pathos. But really.. it struck me as sad and doesn't it sum us all up!

Hi Banksy,
Funny and unsettling feeling as I read this.Strange how the mind plays tricks when we feel most vulnerable! Love the ordinary language in this too!

There was a con artist from Senegal
He wasn't a poet at all
We got wise to his scam
And put up the spam
Don't try to con poets on WOL!

True poetry burns brightly in the heart of a guy who can lose a thousand quids worth of fish and write a funny poem about it...
You get my vote...cheers!

Everyone gives their time freely on here Steve - something to bear in mind when you're giving the site a bashing... though I know that you are tongue in cheek about most things.
Perhaps a mixed calendar would be a good idea for next year? Are you up for it Steve? Ann? Chris?
It is possible to do these things tastefully and have a laugh. I can remember having a photo taken topless when I was younger. You couldn't see anything cos I had a massive piece of water melon covering my melons. I could probably do it with a grapefruit nowadays...

many thanks... I read about doing this is readers digest, so I thought I'd give it a go - there's no law against walking around in the middle of the night, just that no-one does.

Hi Ann
Thanks for commenting. It says "turning on"! The original was indeed, something along the lines of turn on, tune in, drop out but I couldn't get all that in. But as it is it does make sense, honest. x

Maybe we could try something similar here on WOL - for one day only (I suggest April 1st 2012) all the guys on here could swap their profile pics for a raunchy shot of them in the altogether. Howz about it guys? (Sadly I will be away that day so unable to log on and take a look - shame! :)

I really like this Mr B. I walked to the village and back last night - a fabulous night it was too! Moon bright, stars glittering, a few scudding clouds for dramatic effect - even a firework or two. No torch needed. I love walking round alone at night - magical! And reservoirs are SOOOO spooky anyway. You'ze a brave boy!xx

Agree with the sentiments Dave - nice poem. But wouldn't the hippies be tuning in rather than turning in - or were they tired hippies? (All that dope no doubt!)

There's nothing wrong with nudity, male or female. But the same standards should apply to exhibitionist displays by both genders. Of course, it is considered OK by the Liberal Fascist stablishment both to denigrade men generally and to treat them sex objects - but not to do that to women ... or one might lose one's Arts Council grant, darling.
By the way, this story has only just appeared on this increasingly slow (in news terms) and pompous ("swing those trousers, chaps, and let's do a workshop or go on a residential writing course") website. I read about this calender in a writers' magazine many weeks ago. Do keep up, WOL.

Fantasy made flesh?...we all have our dreams and this is pleasingly provocative in its imagery. I remember when I was no more than eight and enjoying lying naked in a stream one afternoon...and they say sex begins at puberty! My mother wasn't best pleased because
I lost a shoe and times were hard then!
