I don't know what happened but WOL stopped sending me
the notifications, so I did not know you responded.
Sorry about that.

re 'Accidental Curator'

Two performance artists, Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi, jumped on the bed with bare torsos to improve the work, which they thought had not gone far enough. They called their performance Two Naked Men Jump into Tracey's Bed. Sold for £2.5 million

thanks for your comments on
"We Never Asked"
the poem I think
speaks to us all
as we speed through life
unthinking.
we wish...

Hello Mc - thanks for the info about the poetry competition. I might send in the Pine poem. Thanks also for your nice comment - I can't bear seeing a tree felled for unimportant reasons . those pines are lovely but they do create some problems - the roots are on the surface, at least some of them, so they deform the tarmac which is dangerous for mopeds or bikes, especially in the dark - also if there is abundant snow, (not v often here) branches tend to fall off as they are top heavy. On Elba there are so many they are like green seas, and you don't realise how many villas are hidden in them - lucky b...........s!
Hope you are keeping well - Jennifer

I end up talking to myself.
I am the only one
who will listen.

Hi M.C.
Thanks for taking the time ...
I think I could write a book about some of the ways that the literati commented on the fact that my first poems only were written in rhyme.
As my latest tomb suggests I only started writing (anything) after my first wife died, 12 years ago. Poetry (if that's what I write) certainly helped.
Poetry also helped in me finding wife no.2, but that's another poem.
If it works, it works

Your wonderful comment is appreciated, thank you.😌Jane

more fun to be bad
but one gets hungry
after a time.

where would we be
without women to
civilize us?

Hi M.C.
You did absolutely nothing wrong with regard to your viewing my Jigsaw 'poem'.
I don't think I'd done a jigsaw for 60+ years, but ...
My Father in Law gave me a jigsaw for Xmas and it became such a compulsive task in finishing it, that I could have wanged it out of the door.
I began to write a poem about the frustrations, but then thought that I could express my feelings better by just writing nothing.
Me trying to be a smart-arse.
At my age I should know better.

Hope I may be forgiven 😃

Tom's silly itis !!
I like it!
😃

"keep your hair on"???
what the heck does that mean?

hahaha

At least you passed
Puberty!

wink.

Being married
is like living in a cell-
only the warden/wife
has the key.

wink.

my dog is potty trained.

Hi
House of Fun
Comments and thoughts much much appreciated.
Sad isn't it how much in life continues to disappoint, but I suppose it gives us something to write about.

Dear MC Thanks again for your encouraging comment.

Hi Thanks for the toughtful commentsonmy poem 'A Waldorf Salad'. Much appreciated.

Definition - Confused
Many thanks for comment. I wasn't sure when I posted, if certain parts may cause offence, but the feelings contained in the poem are gathered from conversations I've had with real people (family) and the frustrations they feel at life moving on at such speed.

good for you for picking up litter.
i do the same, almost daily.
i carry my bags and collect trash as i walk,
and people think i'm crazy, but...
it's good exercise and good for the environment.

Hello M.C Newberry

Thanks for your kind words on my attempts at poetry. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas.

Dave.

MC thank you for noting the squirrels

Texas! we still use horses and saddle bags!

wink.

just a joke
satire
on how everyone now orders everything from Amazon now
then has to deal with the returns.

meow!

I have put a ‘Zoom H1’ on my Santa’s list Mark.

My old Yamaha has a great church organ ‘voice’ and some nice Angel Oh’s! and Arh’s ! I might tinkle on the old ivories (sounds so much more posh than bash the plastic) which is nearer truth.

I would love to have a lute bed but might have to settle for me cheap charity shop uke, not as comfortable to the ear but needs must.

I love your soundbites btw. I often nip over for a lick of MCN.
I adore your “The Menin Gate” and “Down by the Mewstone”

I have to thank you here not only for your support Mark, moreover for inspiring me to add to the collection of audio on WOL. (My misses might not be so appreciative)
I have been banished from the house so have set about making a makeshift recording studio in the caravan ready for 2019.

Thank you for the comments M.C. the human mind. Who can fathom it?

thanks M.C. (master of ceremonies.)
for visiting and commenting.
what you say is what I think.

I enjoyed reading your comments on The Huntress M.C. thank you..💕

thanks for your comments on my poem
"Normal People".
did not realize you are in your 8th decade
as you put it. Good for you!
as we age, people get nicer, don't your think?
either that or....we are just numbed to it all.

wink.

thanks for the comments on 'falling down the cracks...' Mark - I find myself falling behind in responding to comments again - so sincere apologies for my tardiness. Yes - the pain of diet and the sweet joy of a new pair of jeans - life is built around such small things :-)
Ian

thanks for your comments on 'a poppy in winter' Mark - I'm not really advocating the white poppy as the only form of remembrance - I think the red poppy is for that - the white poppy is more a reminder to think about peace when we remember. I wear both side by side because remembrance, on its own, is not enough for me
cheers
Ian
