Stephen Gospage

I really appreciate your kind words. It's part of a series called, rather pretentiously, 'Poems of time and place'. I'll put some more on the profile.

Not a catholic, even part-time. I did once have a mitre. It was a football signed by Bobby Moore.

More power to your pen.

I don't usually read poets or poetry.
I'm just different that way.
But I read this and was impressed.

Each time he climbed another mountain peak,
He took a slice home as a souvenir;
Nothing too big, just a vanishing scrape.
One day, on cue, he heard the mountain speak,
And through dawn’s modest light, it shed a tear
At such a violation of its shape.
This act would likely finish his career.

Thanks Charley Bishop-
are you Catholic?
Do you have a Mitre?
😃

a stream of thoughts
and the stream
is delightful
cool and refreshing-
hope I am not
in over my head.
😃

No objection.

thanks.
the Gospage
according to Stephen!

well it sounded like that to me.

I used it first. It must be catching. Oh no, don't say that...

Good word, though, and good poem.

You used the same term, "Atmospheric"
that the other guy used.
Is this a new thing?
Is it caused by Global Warming?
As I think about it,
My pressure is rising.
😃

I am here I am there I am everywhere

I take such delight stalking a certain Mr Knape who makes my life so much joy and fun. I have only just seen his remark below. Sorry d. a bit late to the party again lol.

Stephan, thank you very much for your comments today on my piece of doggerel.

Paul.

I thoroughly enjoyed this thank you. 😄

Dear Tommy

Thanks for the message. It was a real treat to read the poem, and to come back and read it again.

Steve

Cheers Stephen for your like of "Broken Masonry"
Tommy 🙂

It was my pleasure, Robert. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you, Stephen, for reading and liking my poem, "The Man Inside My Head." Much appreciated.

or when you can't find the right Remote.
then the accusations start.
you had it last!
hahaha

Who knows? He may become Matt Hancock next time. OK, maybe not.
All the best
Steve

Paul Sayer is even in here.
He is everywhere.
I think he may be an anarchist
trying to infiltrate each site for devious purposes.
He even changed his name to disguise his real identity.
I think he may be a double agent poet.

My pleasure. I remember we got one in a plastic bag of water from a fair at Blackheath. I don't know how my Dad kept it alive on the Green Line Bus.

thanks for your comment on "Goldfish".
hasn't every kid had one?
and then one that died?

Thanks for reading
"Retrieving the Morning Paper".
It was a fun poem for me to write.
I hope you had fun reading it.

Not at all, Abdul, although I think your poem is much more profound than my comment (which is just how it should be, of course).

Best wishes

Steve

Hello Stephen

Your recent comments on my poem "Well planned return" inspired me to wtite "Monkeys filled the vacuum".

I hope you don't mind me including ideas from your comments.
