Good article Stu as articulate as ever. I look forward too seeing Laura perform some of this live soon. I have no doubt she will be firing on all cylinders.

John, thank you for this. Was it written by you or Donald Trump? No offence as your poem depicts one of life´s most awful attitudes. Sadly there are many men to whom one could attribute this to.
Well done

A real step into the mind, not an easy journey but worth the imagination - you can almost feel the individual crying out. Some really great lines especially the last four, riveting.

This poem is great!

I love how it has a touch of humor and sarcasm yet all the while we can all, or at least I can, relate to its truth!

Thank you❤

I'm intrigued Don - a great contrast in style for you and a really valid case of interest. Sadly Brian is correct - lack of real evidence will scupper a case. Were there no forensic clues found at the crime scene? Nice to see you in serious vein !


Yours sincerely, Miss Marple.

I'm telling you Rachel, you write some of my favorite lines on this site.

"Just think, how pretty could the sky be if it didn't bleed?"

You excel where plenty of others have tried and failed. Great job on another excellent poem.?

Keith - I am not religious in the "man made" sense of the word, but my own favourite for belief in something beyond
this mortal coil is the reality behind a TV signal.
Its presence can't be felt but with the right receptive
equipment, the picture and sound appear. Eureka!
Maybe that is a pointer for a future existence - far removed from the limitations of this life, with its
step by step advances as we grow "wiser" with the
passing of time...towards who knows what?
Also, the memoirs of Air Marshal Sir Victor Goddard - man
of action with a strong belief in the spiritual world - provide compelling evidence of "something more".
Well worth a look if I haven't mentioned him before in
another context.
Thanks.
Don - thanks too for the comment.

I enjoy the way that you place emphasis on the mundane facts of life as a prelude to something else. By the way I frequently dance with strangers as it is such fun. Thanks for this

Comment is about Cynthia Buell Thomas (poet profile)

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

MC.,
A good poem which assures us of eternal life but I doubt the theology behind it. It is of course a controversial subject. We have no firm knowledge to support the claim of a hereafter but scripture is full of solid examples, especially the gospels where Christ says to his disciples that he goes to prepare a place for them and that they will be there with him. I believe this, not that it provides me with any comfort, rather it makes sense of life and there being something else which is greater than ourselves and we form a part of a divine plan and not simply abandoned at the point of death.
Well written. Thanks
Keith

I'm pleased you've made contact
In your rhyming way
Please stay in touch
We'll rhyme come what may

I've watched you're rendition
It's come from your heart
My heart shared with yours
All of it's part

Like you I do struggle
Prose just won't come
MC knows this problem
It just will not hum

I could go on
And on and on Becky
But where I am living
It's time for my brekky

Ferris, your met
I've not heard before
Did you go buy at
A metronome store?

It sounds a bit wonky
Bleh bluh and blow
Like sounds emanating
From back-end of cow

I could go on, Ferris
Like meaningless twit
But need to leave space
For my Becky Who bit?
