Re 'Broken Hearts' the fear of rejection is a powerful 'motivation' not to do things. Even posting poems. Won't do it because others might not like it. Rejection at work...

Well bugger me, recession's fake?
But I read it on Twitter
You tellin' me Don's got it sorted?
That coiffed-up golfing shitter?

Well I'll be.....

I'm glad your cat told you your glasses were perched on top of your head. Ah, the problems of getting old. Now where is that 'd' on my keyboard? Lost my glasses. Sorry........

DK, your poems always make me smile. Thanks for sharing. D

You need to give me a reference poem to go to to see what I wrote

'not sure what you mean here' ??.

You bring me fodder
Food for thought
Don't ever stop
Don't leave me nought

Cat plays with mouse
What's this dead rat?
Cat waits for mouse
While on it's mat

This could go
On and on
Have to go out
Be back, not gone.......

age is all right-
what's scary is
the alternative.

Like Annie Lennox says "Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death"

thanks for reading the poem,"Pulse".
your pulse should be good-
do not give in to IMpulse.

Ah..,...I'm always jumping in to IM.

(silly boy - wonders why he crash lands so much....)

'Fraid dk your poems
Always make me sick
Sick with laughter (that is)
I then can take the mick

The serious ones however
I know they must come out
I cannot take the micky
On these which are about....

Things we need to ponder
(I need to garden shape)
Instead've of rhyming nonsense
To someone called d knape 😛

DK - when I saw the title "Hearring Loss" - I anticipated a blog
about our UK fishing stocks (herring) running low - slightly misprinted. I was doubly deceived!! 😃

d.k.,

Thanks, I am really well and so are the two hounds. We enjoy our summer morning walks together.

Greetings
Keith

A bear seeking rare's not a humourous thing
(Sorry dk, humorous is how it should be spelt)

Was apologising to you for my not spelling it 'humorous'

Didn't they tell you
Your printer needs ink?
No wonder it's grumbling
It needs an ink-drink

You will have to ask it
(Kindly), which brand
They're so bloody fussy
(Nothing too bland)

Now dk how'd YOU
Feel not getting 'INK'
A brand of your beer
To drink, wink, wink, wink

So go to your printer
On bended knees
Ask for forgiveness
Say which brand now, please?

I could go on
In this foolhardy way
You ask "What's a cartridge?"
Damn!, forgot, another day 😛

I'm pleased you were awake enough to read my comment 'yawn'.
(I thought 'zzzzzz' might be too complex). It's you my friend who was causing me to doze off by encouraging 'Sweet Dreams.' at the outset....what could I do?

You gotta admit it didn't have that comic spark to get me going (hence 'yawn') but we all need some serious stuff thrown in every now and again to bring us back to our senses hey?.....

Hey, DK, never be frightened by the jazz hands! lol. thanks for visiting my page, which BTW, leads me to yours bwahahahaha.....and oh the glory of breaking that chain.

Sorry DK but I do not write the POTW intros. It is someone far cleverer than I and I understand it is to remain anonymous, at least it was when I was involved some time ago.

No shame taken 😇

Graham

I know you're a nice
Person dk
I understand you completely
You'll be recognized one day

But I've just read your poem
On nothing to say
You'll have to do better
Than this one dk 😛

Bah to so-called labour-saving devices. There is a UK TV advert
extolling the "advantage" of an electric whisk over a hand-held one,
neatly avoiding the cost and the likelihood of power breakdown and
inconvenience. And I bet I'm as old as - and probably older than - you, as I can even remember using a fork for the purpose of mixing
stuff.

DK, I’m afraid rumours of my greatness are hideously over-exaggerated. In fact I read all the poems on WOL.
Your Non-Fat piece struck a chord with me as I have been trying to slim my work down recently too

Wink

Best regards,

Graham

Hi DK,

Only just seen the question about 'keep your pecker up'. It's Cockney, (East End of London slang), for cheer up! or similar expressions. You prob know about Cockney rhyming slang, which is fascinating.

Jennifer

Eh? Broke down or just broke?
More like sometimes dazed...often confused! 😇

d.k.,

Thank you for your post on my blog. I am afraid you are right. We have lost our values and free spirit to be and to speak freely. The ´thought police ´maybe listening. Beware, You could be trumped at any moment.

Thanks
Keith

Missing Person Keith Jeffries, last seen prowling through the undergrowth of heavy prose in search of a liberating poem. No need to contact emergency services.

To which food are you referring: bitter and pickled eggs (beer and hard boiled eggs) or raspberry ripple (a flavoured ice cream) ? I looked up temale but think I would prefer one of the two I have described.

Keith

Hello D.K - in reply to your question about notifications, I am still getting them, but I had to say, on a kind of form to fill in, which ones I wanted, and which not. Perhaps if you go to your account you will find this form.

Always enjoy your stuff! Hope you are still getting fed one way or another| Perhaps the last effort, about departing, was due to starvation tactics? Cabeza di cocco!!!!! Not really, love your poems, keep one cheerful. What exactly are enchiladas anyway? Obviously food of a Spanish origin, but can't get further than that, and am too lazy to look it up.

Jennifer

Hi DK - electronic systems are known for their "blips"!!
Cheers,
MC

Hey D. Thank you for your kind words on my profile! I 'm a regular nobody but I do mean every word I say! 🎈

Hiya D K. Have an ear from each, and am quite happy with that!!!!! Thanks for reading my stuff.

Jennifer

Have you ever read one of my poems? I'm curious because I know you read my comments, and with no profile picture I can't tell if you're a spambot that came to life and developed a sense of humor, or if you're messing with me. . . .

Stop messing with me!!!😅

But do keep writing.

d. I love your sample 'chain letter'

You could not ever be called 'the weakest link in the chain' However if that link is anywhere above where you are... Its a rapid decent to a pile of rusty bits of metal hoops clinging onto each other in the vain hope that someone will link you back up for some useful purpose.

Where was I? Oh! I remember chain letters!

I am still waiting for mine...
Some bugger always deletes it before I see it!
