Thanks Don! I do get a kick out if it! I've written the silliest things, even limericks, and made the stupid mistake of posting them on a certain social network and gotten shunned! Which evenrually led me to WOL, thank you very much! Sometimes I got absolutely nada to say but my fingers are itchy! It's nice to be understood! Australia, eh? Not a bad idea at all! Thank you again! And yeah screw competitions and winning prizes, it would sure be nice but it's not why we do it!
Keep on
Dear Don!
Just write
And you'll be alright!
Or something...!

I remember the first time I realised that I was going to die and I wasn’t coming back my brain couldn’t take it I was 4 or 5 and cried for hours - that was before I realised that god does exist x

Glad you liked my 2CV poem. After we had left France a friend sold it to a farmer for virtually nothing.It probably ended up as a hen shed.

Cynthia/Mike - we are, therefore we write. Poets can't resist our inborn urge to write. You are right Cynthia. Sharing is a bonus. If others enjoy it, fine. If not ? Still fine. After all we write for ourselves? ...hmm ?

Who really cares
What I write down
Just need to get it
Up from up down
That's why I write
To say how I feel
Take it or leave it
I'm trying to heal ?

You like the music of poetry. That's so good. Don't be downhearted. You are doing so well. If English is not your first language then your facility is superb. Good luck as a writer. John

I also have a misspelling problem, May
I rhyme nonsense stuff all the time
No, we're not ordinary idiots
We're idiots both in our prime
Don't give up, fly your chariot to Australia
'Tis quite dry here, (with plenty of chicanes)
I'll take you on a tour our or country
We'll bow down to the Queen of Mundane
Now Mae take a note of what Cynthia said
Whack nonsense together for fun
You get such a kick out of doing it, yes?
Such a pity it don't win prizes when done
(But that's not why we write poetry Don...)
I must go along with friend Po
That your rhyming skills, Mae, are top-notch
Look out for the rhymers with nothing to say
Mundane/nonsense, learn, yes, and watch ?

Thanks, all, for your comments during my protracted absence. I haven't had time to dedicate to writing much of anything, but I can't complain--my situation has been right down uproarious of late, in a splendid sort of way.
Take good care, to all you contributors, both silent and outspoken.

Thanks for your story Po. I can't go into the semantics, just to say that Part 2 was a protest poem re some reactions to Part 1 which was the real deal. The poem obviously hit a spot cheers.

Original item by M.C. Newberry
Cor, luv a duck! Good accent for the theme. Mind you, when I
was in the London docklands of the 1960s, the East End had already
seen the onset of upwardly mobile moves. My Cable Street E1 tailor
came in from North London to the small solo premises that was a
remnant (suitable material analogy?) of the highway of pre-war
years. What people have in common will have always draw them
tightly together and that is still the case.

A worthwhile reminder that there are lives well led that set a quiet
example for their restrained fortitude and determination to meet and
overcome life's obstacles. A most refreshing alternative to the
the moans and misery so prevalent these days. A salute is in order
and given!

The regular purveyors of rhyming fun will undoubtedly "carry on rhyming" - without the "Saturday" need to keep to a schedule....so
let's look on the "bright and keep it light" side.

I've no doubt that there are many creators and performers who think critics are dogs! ? Or, as someone observed, critics are people who can tell you how to get to a place but don't know how to drive.

Excellently captured - IMO - layers deep in intent. The opening line/expression with the accent is superb, setting a superb 'tone'.

For his greatest accomplishment was convincing he is not real, when in fact its your kind hearted soul he is here to steal... The worries and struggles we face each day are because of his tribe he sent our way..
Remaining positive is the key for our souls to in fact be set free.. Love and light to you all

Very interesting. And honest. I applaud honesty!
For me: 'I am, therefore I write'. I have to write. And such a poem then exists for itself. I have no logical explanation.
Sharing is always a bonus, via written WOL or on a 'mike' evening - especially performance which allows more personality to be involved, from poet and listeners.
