Thanks for your likes, Tom Doolan, and hugh.

A man has actually been arrested for having the words “Plasticine Action” on his Tee shirt, taking the proverbial out of the UK Home Secretary.

One would have thought that the Metropolitan Plod would have more important things to do. You couldn’t make it up!

The emotions are very raw and they are described in a way that touches one's heart.

Most of my younger Bros can take pride in the fact that when push comes to shove, old fogeys like me are treated with common courtesy.
Which is more than I can say for some of those in government who loudly protest that they're looking after my interests, whilst doing the opposite.
Yes, we are all brothers, Hélène!

You capture the sadness well, Rolph.

I'm no expert, but find it interesting that we use the term "broken heart", to describe a more intangible "broken mind"?

Thanks RBK.
When I first got my digital camera, as part of my creative efforts, I'd take photos of puddles reflecting the sky; in an urban environment that made for interesting contrasts.

Correct Hugh.
They are motor vehicles.
There is currently talk of pensioners being forced out of their cars, some in areas with no bus services, ostensibly for "safety" reasons.
Yet those morons, average age, 10-20 yrs old? ride at high speeds on pavements crowded with pedestrians with total impunity; I have to dodge them daily.

Rodney, thank you for this. An excellent, valuable addition to the helpful hints elements of the website.
I wonder to what extent others have struggled to find a title for their poem, having finished writing it. and how many have done as I have, and realised that perhaps the title gives you a better idea of what you have written.
I think the only title I have chosen before starting to write was my poem Guileless in Asda, but I suppose I must have had some idea of what it was about beforehand. Hmm.
Thanks, Rodney.

Hi Mike, "Money" is such a cool name! And I love the line, "They named me Money because they have none!" That's very clever, Mike. I imagine when you say, "I have money at home," but the people you're talking to have no idea what money is. It's funny, but it also sounds like a wish or hope at the same time (Sorry, I'm not sure about the term, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say). By the way, I have a cat that is about 4 months old now. She has a color that is almost similar to money. Also, she is very active; she always follows wherever my feet go and sometimes climbs on them. I think having a cat at home is a kind of therapy; it’s a special joy to have a furry friend by our side.

The metre works very well David, the reader is taken by the flow; life is composed of contradictions and paradoxes that test us every day:

What are the sources of poetry? Love and death and the paradox of love and death. All poetry from the beginning is about Eros and Thanatos. Those are the only subjects. And how Eros and Thanatos interweave. Erica Jong
