Thanks for the message on my profile, liking my Arboretum poem.

Hi there -
There's nothing that pleases
Like comparing diseases!

You are a brave old soul d.

BTW. if your feet smell
and nose runs...
chances are you are upside-down

Holding you in my thought's

Speaking for myself, I said "pre-diabetes"...the prelude (with suitable
medical warning) that too much sugar is the problem. I have a sister
who has suffered the type 2 arrival late in life and it has affected her
in other intrusive and unwanted ways that have caused problems
ever since. I believe a sedentary/till job (now retired) in a major food outlet - with tempting discounts to staff on food not sold on any given
day - was the trigger to the weight gain that seemed to herald its
appearance. No wonder the alarm bells are ringing in a certain
large country in which it can now be said that no longer are people
living off the fat of the land,, but that the fat are dying off the land !

d.k.,

Thanks, but I am no longer in Spain but returned to England eighteen months ago. Having said that the socks still come in handy as it is mid winter here.

Hi d.k. - I certainly seem to recall a breakfast cereal of the name "Cheerios" here in England, although it's not my own choice.

Thanks for your comment on my profile. I obtained the 'Poetry in my life' picture from the interweb.

Flattery will get you everything you desire, my non-judgemental friend.

Keep posting... posting keeps us young!

The older I get the the err

Ah thank you. 'Why Poems' was the fastest poem I've ever written and I was quite pleased with the results (although I guess I stole most of my ideas of Vautaw's original). 😃

While I await
a dryness of shoe
here I'll give
my praise to you
a versatile poet
and a good chap too
my sock dye's run
now my feet are blue!

Hi D, thanks for your comments on Naked. Glad you thought it authentic but I have been happily married for 20 years and it's all fiction! Was inspired by a friend's relationship breakdown, but poetic license was liberally applied.

I’m good thank you and thanks for asking. I hope you’ve had a chance to look at my blog where I post my work.

Well my middle initial is in fact 'A' so in school one of my nicknames was 'Roar!' You got it Ha,ha Our family crest has 2 lions as well so it all fits nicely. I'm not lion either, it's all true 😉

Walking on the water
Rinsing the sand out
Of my Jesus sandals 😉

Skippy is name for kangaroo on children's programmes boing boing...

Who's this ski-capped character
Hogging all this space?
Does he think that profile-fill
To him's some sorta race

Poor deluded soul.....😎

Big toes good for kicking
Sport balls round the ground
Thalia rightly tells me
Don't kick-toe others round

She's a good influence on me.....😎

i liked your little typewriter poem
type on!

I indeed have typed on. You have sparked me into writing one about a lonely typewriter in a shop hoping for a buyer. Posting soon.

It seems you haven't yet caught up
My first attempt free verse
Writ on the 6th of August
Took long while, (was a curse)

Titled my 'First Efforts at
New-Age Poetry'
It gotta lotta comments
Which, yes, did pleaseth me

Here are the first few lines
What one might call a 'taster'
But then again dk you might
Think it's all a waster

Time.....

"Beauty is a constant.

To roam the path is to become one with it.

We vibrate, we heal, we are reborn

Have you found your circuit?"

Isn't that music to the ears dk? I can almost hear the heavenly strains of violins in the background.

Shit! Who wrote this script dk?.....

While you're asleep I'm busy awake

Absorbing the day you're awaiting

We're governed by nature, must go with the flow

(It's caused by the planet rotating)



Oh? No-one told me that.....

Why haven't you told me dk?

Hello Dk,

I get that same feeling when I see old punks still donning the trappings of their youth. My comment on your poem was not meant as a criticism on content - it was an attempt to start a discussion regarding revolutions and behavior.

I do know who Howdy Doody is, Buffalo Bob! This one is Charlie McCarthy.

Dude, "White Horses in a Darkened Field" is fantastic. At first I was thinking, cool, kinda like "The Horses" by Ted Hughes. But no sir, wholly original, ripping with symbolism and simplicity. Great work.

Seattle huh?
home of Antifa mobs & homeless.

by the way, are those sharks behind you
in that photo?

No. It's the loch ness monster. Tourist tripping....

He don't look too gangsterish or homeless to me.

"so you're the one
who did it!"

I know nothing......

Not in a home d.k., but still in my own homestead and fully mobile.
Cheers
Keith

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' ??.
