Anthony. Thank you very much for your very kind words on 'Another Grey Day'. There is indeed a lot to be said for the 'Rockfords' ;)
I like to think we all have a touch of the Peter Pan syndrome within us.
I would also like to say that 'Visiting Neil' is such a wonderful and moving piece of work.
Sincerely.

Hi Anthony.

Having now read your paradise poem. (lovely piece) t
Together with mine,both give the impression ones final years are not much fun.

On the contrary performing the last act myself I find the general demeanor to be one of cheerful optimism, right up until the inevitable, despite varying levels of physical discomfort.

Not a long tear soaked episode in anticipation of an agonizing end.

Hi Laura. I'm really happy you enjoyed my poem. The truth is that I make these things up. Depending on what issue I'm writing on I try to get into someone else's mind and shoes. Words just come out and really try to feel what could be felt. Thank you for your comments.

Carrie you might already have noticed that when someone posted several poems in one go only the last one posted stays live on the blog listing, the other go to your archives. The problem with this is only the latest one tends to get seen. Just a thought!

Hello Daniel - I noted your comment on Harry O's
post "Sound Advice". You're welcome!
I plead guilty to a love of verse/rhyme and to
being a traditionalist in such matters. They
help the mind retain things that it enjoys...
thus contributing to its health. How can THAT
be bad?
The popular composer Jule Styne (famous for his
hit tunes) had a classical music background and
was once asked about it. No doubt thinking of
stuff that stays in the mind, he remarked
"You can't whistle Shostakovich".
Cheers.

I love the way your sample piece tumbles over itself: trying to listen as the self-observant stuff worries us, despite ourselves. Whether reporting a romance or just, trying to listen, the poem has a good hold on that fractured quality that can invade our thoughts, this mania. I think it is a very good poem.
