That poem was written in praise of shopping carts
not to criticize them or point out their failures.
God knows there is enough negativity already.
We should uplift each other and...uplift our shopping carts.
Where would we be without them?
(by the way, where did you come from? Not seen your name
before. Are you a regular or irregular?

Nice parrot story - my father was phoned by a nice, but very conventional old spinster, who asked him for assistance. He discovered she had bought a parrot, whom she had taught to say all the usual, Hello, How are you? etc etc., but it had started to swear like a trooper, and she couldn't understand why. Neither could my father, as her visitors were all eminently respectable. He discovered, however, that she put it out at the end of the garden on sunny days. On inspection, he saw there was a golf course over the hedge, and a huge bunker!!!!!!!!!! He then suggested she put it out in the front garden!

Hi DK, hoped you'd got rid of me did you!!!? I WILL BE BACK.
Have been busy, (a euphemism for up to my neck in it), with family health problems. Nothing that can't be cured/treated, luckily, but everything seems to come all together. What with making appointments, having and organising various tests, consoling, minimising, comforting, the nitty gritty etc. etc. haven't had a moment for myself. Have two or three pieces of doggerel to put on when I have time. Had you already dug another hole for me?! Can' t wait to catch up on what I've been missing. I always enjoy your stuff. Jennifer

Not quite sure what you mean by
"hope you have not had a bad fall"
you mean the season or...
my balance?
Was that your way of saying you think I'm not right?
Then again, maybe you ARE right.
Most of my poetry is unbalanced, slightly askew.

Don't feel bad, a lot of poetry makes no sense to me either.
I think a lot of poets think poems should be unintelligible.
That is why I try to write simple poems that average people
can understand.

Jennifer,
Thank you for your kind words. I seem to write in fits and starts these days as inspiration comes and goes like the morning tide. I increasingly find music a vibrant source of inspiration. A few days ago I listened to the Warsaw Concerto and realised how it could stimulate the imagination which a profound sense of drama, violence and suffering. Let's keep writing. Maybe one day we will be famous, not that I search for fame, as recognition will suffice.

Hello Keith!
Haven't been much on WOL lately, as been v busy with a much needed holiday, (no internet), and family health matters. Just wanted to say how much I liked your latest on Poetry Plus. By Which We are Known, A Silver-framed Photo, and especially Drenched in Duplicity. Fantastic title too. Was also v impressed with your review of Poems of the East. I have always liked and admired your writing, from the start, that is October 2017, when I joined WOL, and couldn't understand why at that time there was so little response! There was one about the sea some time ago, which I thought was fantastic. I'll try and find it again. Delighted that you are now being appreciated as deserved. All the best, Jennifer

Kelvin,
Thank you for commenting on my poem. It is a fact of human existence that hope always breaks through at times when we are brought to our lowest ebb. I am sure that you have heard the saying that hope springs eternal in the human breast. I believe this to be true, but where does this hope come from?

dk.,
Thanks, I enjoyed Spain for the warmth, the cost of living and the quality of life which is far less stressful than in the UK. However, I am an Englishman and there is no place like home. I am not a European. My language, culture and the freedom we enjoy in the UK is incomparable. God Save the Queen!

'My friends and family would soon fall out with me if every time a difficulty occured I blamed it on Brexit and smugly said - look, I told you so.'

Hi Telboy, just wanted to say that 'smug' is not really the right word when you're driving home a long way, and having to drive at 40mph to save petrol, because you're not sure you're going to make it. 'Extremely pissed off' better describes it. I'm sure that applies to key workers unable to get fuel, too.

Thank you so much, Jordyn for liking so many of my scribbles! I did go through a barren patch, but a few ideas started to float around a few weeks ago, so I caught them quick before they floated out the window!
Nice to see you posting again. Your poetry has a lovely sense of composition and unfolds beautifully to draw the reader in. I look forward to reading more ? Thanks again
