Hello Marin. I'm glad you liked my collages. Yes, you should try it; it is a wonderful past time...sort of like doing puzzles - but better!
Thank you. Jane?

Your profile "rant" is so encouraging to this newcomer! Would you believe I did a google search yesterday, "Are there rules to writing poetry?" I knew there weren't, but I guess there were still questions I couldn't really form. I think you cleared that up for me.
And you have succeeded already as to evoking my emotions with my first read of your work "Whispers." My x and I were both guilty on that front.

You've got me there. Better, perhaps, a 10 mile "peddle"

As it happens, MC, I went for a ten mile peddle on Sunday, two days after the broddling. No ill effects.
As for 'intelligentsia" - I'm sure it is self-evident as I hijack the anacreontic form substituting its trochaic feet with iambic ones.

If you want to be thought one of the intelligentsia, you
could always change the title to -
"An Enema of the Poop Hole".
A closing thought - you might be advised to lay off the
cycling for a while. The jury is still out about whether all
that saddle sitting is a contributory factor towards irritating the prostate.

Thanks, Taylor. I am right as ninepence; no discomfort at all. Even straight after the biopsy, I said to the nurse, “Most enjoyable”. I don’t think she’d ever heard that before.

I've written 1000's of poems, and only 250 of them are published. I know what it's like to have to throw away good work, or put it aside in favor of living life or trying harder at something I'm working on. Regardless, some great pieces you have on your profile.??

Thanks for the responses, one and all. Once I got those
first lines down, the rest seemed to come quite quickly -
which reminds me of the words from famous lyricist
Sammy Cahn about writing lyrics - they can take minutes
or months! The muse (or for Mr Cahn - the music ?) was
with me!
I've made my own objection to this planning application and
had it acknowledged online today by
Hinckley and Bosworth Council ?

To keep this for the wider readership - anti-carcinogenic
foods incl. broccoli/green tea/turmeric and pomegranate
- and these are contained in the Pomi-t capsules I've mentioned and which I've been taking for some time:
appr. £16 for a 30day supply (buy via online sources
including Amazon). They came to my attention via a
report of a "wonder" supplement in the Daily Express a
few years ago. The guy at my urology dept. seemed
unaware of their existence until I showed him the report.
If you like fruit juice - go for pomegranate juice which I
love above all others - which helps! - also a powerful
"anti" aid. Dark chocolate with 70% upward cocoa level
is a source of flavonoids (think that's the spelling) - also said to be helpful in equipping the body against disease.
It also helps that I like this TOO!"
But a Google search for both "polyphenols" & "flavonoids)
will provide very useful information and no doubt link to
other sites of a similar type.
Good luck and good hunting!!

MC - Clearly you have experience of this. If I’d have known I’d have come to you for the exam in the first place!
I hope your tests proved benign. But I gather prostate cancer is, fortunately, one of the more treatable types.
I don’t take any pills at all at the minute (long may this continue), so what foods are rich in the beneficial polyphenols?

Well put!! And entertaining to boot!
Been there - had it done to me: a 12 pin biopsy!
The blood leakage is included free of charge while nature
and some post-treatment medication took action on my
body's behalf. But this is the beginning of a "should we
be meeting like this?" affair with the Urology people who
seem very keen to perform regular checks on this part of
the male anatomy - citing stuff about PSA levels (will o'
the wisp stuff at the best of times diagnosing disease!).
NOTE: You can have a high PSA level and no disease but also a low PSA level but HAVE disease! Common sense
about changes in toilet habits and obvious discomfort
clearly come into play before needless worry.
Good advice - go for food and food supplements with polyphenol (anti-carcinogenic) qualities, easily researched
online. The supplement Pomi-t is one such health help.
No charge for this valuable information! ?

Forgive me for opening this up Martin, but it is so admirable as it has no focal point other than this strange and yet recognizable man - the point is that I think today's faceless environments have grown into the material equivalents of people like this. There is a blind acceptance on a certain level of obscurity and lack of any means of incentive or escape. Perfect material for a cheapened lifestyle in fact - the antedote to the inspirations of Thatcher. The perfect storm in a cracked teacup in fact.
Great meandering poem.
