Hi Rose thank you for your comment on "Whistle Blows". Its a strange thing, you lay contemplating your own death. Then your training kicks in and you'r up and off, because all your mates are up and off as well, fear recedes a bit and then you either make it or you don't, If you don't you've decided long before you hope its quick.
but when you've made it some laugh, some cry, some throw up, you start to remember the faces of those you've killed, you have to start the accounting, how many of ours to bury, how many of theirs?
And then you have to do it again and it doesn't get easier.
If a man or woman goes into combat you are never "you" ever again.

My only proper shooting war with assaults on enemy positions was the Falklands back in 1982. That involved picking yourself up and running at bullets and that's what the poem refers to. Still bites me in the arse, even though I've been involved in other actions with fatalities.

Twitter does not like the truth!

Hey Rose. Thanks for the thumbs up for 'Easy Fix'. Be cool x

Rose, Smoke in the Sky - your view could well be a sign of positivity to someone wishing to accord with that opinion.

Far from me to be in conflict with someone with a different belief system - but yes, your view could well be the right one.

It is certainly a very poignant moment for many of whatever thought.

Thank you for the question.

Thank you, Dudette!

thanx for commenting on True Nature Rose.
Good to be back - and thanks for noticing I'd gone 😃

thanks for the tip
that's a great idea!
I will check it out.

good morning Rose. Hope I find you in the pinkest of pinks ?

I hear Big Sal did disappear
Quite a way away
Seems he was bit naughty
On WOL, which didn't pay

Hey,
I actually mostly empathise with you because of my Spanish-it isn't my first language so I find writing poetry in it very challenging. However I do also wish I had participated in English creative writing classes!! ...Oh and that I hadn't been set back vocabulary and reading wise by a brain injury ahhahahaha!! X

I totally agree that the restriction of your "depleted share of the English language" (tho it's not true) makes your work more interesting. I find it much more difficult to write something without sounding pretentious or forced, than using long words. Or even to write something simply and it still be interesting-without the use of too much 'glitter'. Very jealous xxx

Just had a bonza run through your work. Glad you share my Antipodean style of humour. Don't they just tell it as it is. Had some wonderful experiences out there until I got to Alice Springs a way back, then climbed Ayres rock with a tour party. Upshot, I went off in the Flying Doctor plane back to Alice with a major heart attack being grounded with the Abos at the local hospital for a month. I was travelling alone but when I was given the green light to travel again on the Ghan train a month later, a whole platform of people had come to see me off. Always held the Aussies in high regard after that. Keep writing. Your work has appeal. But the best part is, it serves as a kind of creative therapy to us all. ? Bestest. Philipos
