No small achievement this Phil. It would be quite demanding to read in the right way to an audience, a challenge. A great idea, almost a Bach invention in itself. Talking of him, I bought a Jacques Loussier CD recently. Quite stylistic in its time.

Nice one . Ray

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your kind words once more. Had to read up on this flowering cactus before writing the poem. Having a beer outside the hotel in Sitges (closed down now for being old-fashioned) which I was fond of.

The eagerness of politicians - past and present - to place this country
at the beck and call of a committee of political devising and to agree
to our Queen being a "citizen of the EU" wiil undoubtedly be one
of the most shameful episodes of this country's long history..

One for Valentine's day. You can decide for yourself whether or not this is a love poem. 'American Girl' was originally published in Strix Issue 3 last year.

A spider patiently waits and waits
to see what comes to take the bait,
when caught in trap, it's victim hates
that curiosity drew it to its fate.

".I'm so sorry...but you found closure, so it's better now"

This is a haunting poem, it stays in the room long after the PC.has been turned off.
'Closure' is that a convenient way for others to shrug and get on with their uninterupted lives?

Hey David,

Some days ago, I was crossing, feeling a bit small--to be without comradeship in such a crowded city can be difficult. That day, there was a slow gypsy guitar playing and I felt in that moment like he must have been there for me--it was so poignant and beautiful that the emotion overwhelmed me.

I recorded some of his playing and have considered putting it up for others, but I have to find a video accompaniment because my camera caught only my shoe ;

Thanks for commenting--this experience has its disorienting moments, but I haven't looked over the edge from here, as of yet.

I'll keep you posted...

Original item by keith jeffries

The line about the "old black sit-up car" drew me in immediately...so
easy it is to forget the mundane motor vehicles of yesteryear mixed with the excitement of an outing in the offing within the perimeters
of a child's world far removed from the global news media monster
that devours innocence today.

You portray the sense of tragedy so well. I feel the pain even though I cannot imagine the depth of the sorrow.

I have often wondered what makes them persevere into old age. It can’t be money. Perhaps they quite simply love performing. A good and well thought out poem which presents the reader with something to consider. Well done. Thanks Keith

"You speak in a toungue that can't be heard"

This is a poem that so many people will relate to.
How many of us have to watch our partners body language to try to understand how they are feeling?

Thank you for this truly sensitive poem

I have to confess to enjoying hugely the visit by the Rolling Stones to
Cuba - and the massive welcome given them by adoring fans there -
shown on a TV documentary a while ago. Of all the big Rock groups
they remain determined to "Not Fade Away". I would even enjoy
them doing their stuff sitting down and/or in wheelchairs with the
right moves!!! ?
