Turtle- your words had me fooled but upon rereading them it seeped in. An awful existence cleverly portrayed. Tommy

This poem is just ace.
I am very familiar with the setting and the feelings that go with it. Its all captured here perfectly.
The squirrels jarred me out of the poems general chilled out feel, like they would in reality. I assume this was intentional. I'm not sure if id rather they be quite! lol.
Thanks David.

There seem to be strange processes at work in today's Home Office. I'd like to see the papers and interview those
who make these decisions. If she entered the country
legally as a British citizen, what are the grounds for this
absurdly delayed state of affairs? With the threat from within posed by more recent arrivals, the priorities of
today's civil service seem wayward to say the least.
If this decision is not just then justice is not being served.
Knowing when NOT to do something is as important as
knowing the opposite!

Fun! Right up to your usual standard...and sung with such
enthusiasm! But....
Once in Brussels' greedy city
Far removed from a cattle shed
No one thought it was a pity
That the nation state was dead
Deceit and lies were all around
Nowhere was the real truth found. ?

Hello Jemima,
I'm very pleased to know that you have enjoyed reading this remembrance of my mother. I wonder if John Lennon was right when he wrote "All you need is love".

Like this lots Rich. I was just reading a recent quote by Bill Gates who said that we need new tools to deal with climate change but I reckon we have all the tools we need at our disposal, we just need the right leadership to learn quick how to use them. Thanks for posting. Col.

Thank you Turtle and Jemima. Knowing you guys can relate makes all the difference. Someone once told me "good things come to those who wait" while I was feeling this way. Of course you hate to hear that while you're hurt but it's so true. I imagine letting go is kind of like closing your eyes when you're getting a shot at the doctor's, waiting for this terrible pain, only to open your eyes & realize it wasn't that bad after it's over.

I loved the kitchen imagery - the table, the curtains, and so on - as Adam says each reading brings something new. Not the least because of the ambiguity of the key line: "My mother leaned against dreams" - is she supported by them or is she working against them? I wonder!
