"Real king of pentacles type shit" best line I've read in weeks. Humorous, but to the point, and how enjoyable to read your work.

Oh bravo Trev! *applauds*

This could have turned into one of those boring listy type poems, but it didn't, you didn't let it, and that last line ties it up perfectly.

Original item by Lilly Love

excellent poem Chris and beautiful use of language as always. My only problem is that I read it to the tune of Windmills of Your Mind after David posted a link to it. I'll come back later in the day and read it again when I've expunged the song from my head. All the best, Colin.

Whether or not a story inside a poem is fake is irrelevant, as long as it contains power such as this. Good job on this.

Thanks Col. I was a bit fired up last night and lost all inhibitions on the blower. I'm glad you had a laugh - achieved that much if no more! I was practising on the duel with Scaramanga.

Very kind Hannah. Good of you!

Laura, watch out for the Cadbury's milk tray man, it could be me - leave a window open. I will be dressed in black with a zimmer frame.

Thanks for your like Anya!

Thanks Anya. I try to keep out of the loop myself!

Thanks Tommy. I hope you're right !

Classic, Suki. There must be a poem there surely.

David, you're spot on - number one pull on the public - hence Hello and OK mags. I quite like a bit of fantasy myself, but more seedy. Of all the Royals, Phil is to admired most - not quite a chinless wonder. Even divorcees get attention.

Cheers Laura. He could always tone that down and get an Edward V111 mask instead of the outfit.

Thanks Mark. I am glad you are able to stay away from hospital care, in spite of reports to-ing ant fro-ing which I presume are not too sinister. Re age factor, it seems a lot of admissions are based on attacks on youth, so we hear.
Thanks for the likes Pat and Col.

Many thanks all ! Ray

You shouldn't be prevented from entering Israel because of poetry, surely? As I understand it, Yehuda Amichai's work was appreciated by both "sides", his Wildpeace being read at the 1994 awards ceremony in Oslo when Yasir Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres received the Nobel Peace Prize. Pity it didn't last, that these poems needed to be written.

Thank you for an interesting, intriguing review Steven.

so lovely poem sample...I shall not be

It was shocking to learn
When you turned
Your back and left forever
My mind was seized with fear

Nights have turned barren
Hell took over the heaven
My heart was shattered
Even I was little afraid

No, I will blame no one
But try to learn
Why did it happen to me?
Even though I was true

Many thoughts may enter
But you have an ability to alter
The wind in your favor
And at the same time earn an honor

IT may certainly prove
And move
Your thoughts in a positive direction
With your firm action
