Brian it was at the time, but she has a lovely family and a successful career. Although at times she still has those same feelings.

It happens that the moments just crawl when distance is short and year goes in a flash when in turmoil.
True love can never be stolen or feels any temptations by beetles or flowers in the world.....it stays sincerely in love with one.
Very beautiful sir!!!!

Great poem and sentiment for this. The castle line shines.
The promise is often more alluring than the journey to obtain the riches from said promise.

What a brilliant poem K.J. I can relate to this..we were due to go on a day trip to the Isle of Man as kids. Dad gambled the money away and we just had a pkt of custard creams to take between the three of us and mum.
I look back now and smile and even laugh at some of the carryings on. At the time it was hard..poor mum..
The last stanza is perfect..

Sister Norma you can't touch
I got in first , life is such
Sorry mate, she is quite naughty
And no she's not, nowhere near fourty
Norm she's shown me tricks that would
Raise the hackles in your neck
Yep , she's naughty and she's nice
Damn! I'm now a bloody wreck
Should've stayed away from Norm
Thought I could control this storm
Knew our God would punish me
Dabbling in his nunnery ?

You and she
Might have had
A disagree?
Maybe I read
Between lines wrong
Maybe you didn't
Get along?
I hesitate
To post comment
In case it is
Not straight, but bent
Then again
Could silly me
Simply misinterpret
Your poetry? ?

Simple and stimulating. Taking it further...
"Imagine" and "Supposing"
Are also worth proposing. ?
As for commenting - sometimes, the work in
question does not resonate sufficiently or can have some similarity to an entry from another source - or, is so full of conceit, it's
just not worth the effort without seeming to]
be argumentative or worse!

In the dangerous days of the American West, a certain watchful
James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok used to sit with his back to the wall,
except for one time when he got careless playing cards and was
shot from behind, the cards from his "dead man's" hand (Aces and
Eights) being noted and named as such thereafter. People-watching
- especially from a safe position - can be an informative useful pastime!

Comment is about The Ghost of Christmas Passed (blog)
Original item by Chris Armstrong
Much truth in these lines but, somehow, the pleasure always manages to seep through the "early days commerce" that we live
with nowadays. Even Tiny Tim would have his nose pressed up
against the window of a toy shop despite his parents' poverty-led
place in life. The theme that continues is the importance of a loving
family and the generosity of good caring friends.
Ebenezer Scrooge was Charles Dickens' stooge
To what is vital still;
The love of those who mean the most
And the generous spirit of good will.

I agree with this with its bitter sweetness and mild despair Tom. Some must keep scratching at things until all that's left is marks. I noticed right in the middle is that life is slipping from us and a sort of justification after that which is perfect. Birds carry such hope for us, but they have their own agendas, from which we can truly learn . Another winner.

Literally all of my pets except a batch of 4 chickens and 6 ducks were ALL rescues in one way or another.
Wifey saved my pitbull from being killed at the shelter, she also saved our cat when he was a few weeks old underneath our old trailer. Kept meowing after his mom had abandoned him and he was wrapped up in wires so badly that his front paw was swollen to three times its original size and he would've surely perished were we not there to save his little devilish ass.
I save battery hens every chance I get, and all the other cats or animals I get seem to be in some threatening situation before they come to sanctuary.
"Please keep the contract that you made." - so sad especially when uncaring parents buy their kids a baby chick or a baby rabbit or something small, and then the pet gets thrown or let out to its death. God, do not show my wife this poem, Taylor. I won't get off the screen without having to adopt another 20 pigeons or some shit! ??

I'll be honest...I bloody love money. And I'm not being flippant. I love having money. I remember when I was quite poor and I never want to be back there again. I love the feeling of security that money gives you.
