Hi Jeannot,
Thank you very much, it took a lot of writing and is never the easiest of ones to perform, for obvious reasons, but it is one of my and my mother's favourites.

Mona,
This is splendid work. Poetry in perfection. To take on the identity of another and express emotions and feellings is an accomplishment and you have achieved this in a poem of high quality.
Thank you
Keith

Thank you for your post on my blog. I am afraid you are right. We have lost our values and free spirit to be and to speak freely. The ´thought police ´maybe listening. Beware, You could be trumped at any moment.
Thanks

A moment captured, beautifully.
Exactly what a poem should be...

Hazel,
Melancholy yet a scene of not letting go after the loss of someone dearly loved. Clinging onto the possessions as if re living life with them but fully aware of the grief that saturates the heart. A poem which is sad but descriptive in the form of a neceassary act, perhaps of ultimate farewell.
Thank you
Keith

Ian,
you have done it again with a poem rich in imagination, well put together, evocative and from that mysterious place above where we all live, yet so close and somewhat distant. Some years ago I assisted a friend in clearing out the loft of the family home, amazed to discover gas masks, newspapers sixty years old, and army great coat and a copy of the Daily Express celebrating the coronation. This poem speaks of the attic, a place of history and treasure.
Thank you for this
Keith

Pulling ones leg

John,
As I began to read this work my mind returned to William Dalrymple´s book, "From the Holy Mountain" which is an interesting historical travelogue encompassing the present day world within the confines of the Byzantine Empire. Armenia, Constantinople, the Levant are brought into context along with Palestine where the Christian populations have been systematically eradicated. These atrocities, most notably Armenia have passed by almost unnoticed until now and vehemently denied by the Turkish Government. The remnant in Constantinople to this day suffer perscution and hardship at the hands of their muslim neighbours. The Ecumenical Patriarch still resides there but is almost under House Arrest and shunned from any participation in the national life of the country. A sad tale of woe which has passed by as the world has looked the other way.
Thank you for this reminder
Keith

Regarding "Free Speech" and your comments
I think England has gone down the tube
much like the USA.
you cannot truly speak your mind.

take you away.

Liked this! Doesn't have to have a purpose, it's the mystery that grips the attention. With hieroglyphs perhaps it was the ghost of some Egyptian being revenged on him for having discovered a secret? Very like a Sherlock Holmes story in the making. The Speckled Band, or the Hound of the Baskervilles for example.

Loved this! We all 'want to find out what I'm like' I think. The awful truth though is that we have some idea, but often others see us completely differently. Very confusing! Anyway agree absolutely it's much better to be 'quirk and interesting' than 'plain dull and murky!

You have raised an interesting point. When I read a poem I ask myself is the poet talking about themselves? or someone else? or someone made up? It could be any one of these. Only the poet knows. And retains the right to know?. Look at some of the poems about suffering and who are they talking about? Could be them, others, or fictitious. I don't always know.

I guess we often write about ourselves and our experiences, however thinly veiled. And sometimes, as you say, it's not (just!) to explain ourselves to the reader, but to ourselves. Enjoyed this. ?

Well done. I think we all in a way always write about ourselves in poems, whatever the subject might be. That’s what you’re saying in the last sentence.

You will never be
"dull and murky"
but always interesting - different - funny - sad - and sometimes -
'what was that all about?'
You keep us entertained and you keep us guessing.

Each morning when you wake up you must say to yourself
'I AM UNIQUE'
It is the difference between us all, and what we can learn from each other, that makes life interesting.
You are ASHLEY - young and intelligent - the world is yours - meet it head on.

I really appreciate all the kind comments. In 1992 a cluster of tornadoes swept through my neighbourhood in Channelview, Texas (an industrial suburb east of Houston). About 750 homes were destroyed and many more, including mine, severely damaged. I heard story after story of people hiding in closets only to have 2x4 pieces of wood come within inches of their bodies.
Also, Jeff Foxworthy has a joke that says, "If you've ever been on TV describing how a tornado sounds like a freight train, you might be a redneck." I've heard them described that way many times.
