Thanks for reading and liking , Brian, Hugh, David, Ghazal, Anya and Don.

Glad you enjoyed the wild and dark of the poem Jon thanks.

Thanks Mark, I will check out The Listeners. It's a bit of fun conjuring up the past.

Jennifer, just what I wanted to hear! From brain to keyboard to brain, job done!

I'm glad this was enjoyable Po. The mind and the eye can be like a camera, at least for me. Thanks.

Hi David, thanks for the comment. Yes, we are all searching for some explanation, some meaning. Maybe, discoveries like this help in our understanding, or just open up more unknowns.

Maybe, he will grow one. ?

Great poem! Nice and brief but conjures up a wealth of atmosphere and delight.

I especially love the reference to candy floss (sweet smell from pink hair to eat), and the sense of awe and wonder in this piece.

Well done Richard mate!

Original item by Lysa d

Thank you one and all for your valued comments. Ray, I also think most people are searching for something but don´t know what it is they are looking for. They are lost, vulnerable and afraid. I agree about markets as they are a different kettle of fish altogether with many jovial faces especially from the stall holders.

Comment is about Sudden. Unexpectd (blog)

Original item by Don Matthews

I think we like to be spoon fed happiness instead of discovering simple joy in ourselves, simply giving in to worldly wants and worries. There is much within that can keep us alive and wanting precious life. You will find more happiness in markets than in supermarkets of course, so go and look for them, support them and their contributions. (I say).

Well written from the heart Keith.

To make chasing poems more simple
Shed your pyjamas as you run
Then kick off your slippers to join them
Invite everyone in on the fun

You may not catch up with your poem
Which could have the last laugh on you
But those who do join you will be many
I doubt those who join will be few ?

Clever thinking dk

Time takes no prisoners, Don - I knew a similar shock in 2018.
Best to be glad it happened rather than be sorry it's gone.

They're perfect for putting words to a song!.

It's certainly got a bit more complicated in Parliament since the DUP got Co-op ted into power.

Know the feeling - and my trusty tape recorder bears witness to my
own literary sacrifices involving leaving a warm bed to record the
words before they leave the mind (which always happens if I return
to sleep). Zzzzz.
PS I envisaged you on a tug on a salvage
operation - rather than a scooter trying to catch up. Funny how mind pictures work!
