clever, clever..this reminded me of Shel Silverstein's "The Lion Who Shot Back"..I used to get great joy reading it aloud to my son, describing how funny the hunter's caps tasted.
Thanks for the laugh.

This has been excellently put together Stu, the whole nature of it is fractured .I often feel that my own thinking is quite fractured when I get these random ideas and notions, that work together. Frank Zappa would write musical pieces that seemed quite fractured and random but often worked really well.
However a Great series of poems, particularly liked rust and gaps.

It is interesting to see a part of my poem dedicated to adrian henri, it's been a very long time since I've seen it.
The wash house was great venue for poets to read at as was the hope hall. Young Brian P, if I remember, read for the first time there, it was a poem dedecated to ray charles, where he described Ray Charles eyes being in his finger tip. A wonderful image.
I still write, plug, plug, under a pen name, Lord Shosti O'Kovitch, alas very little poems,

Hello David
Yes, I agree! Words fell out of head, very, very quickly. If I told you the images I witnessed in the newspapers at the time of the Hillsborough incident popped back into my head it might make a little more sense.
Bad memories all round.

Thanks for your comments guys very much appreciated.
I know what you mean about gardening Phil.
Stu and Laura lamb is always a feast in our house. I would have used the word succulent but that would risk sounding like an advert.
I agree with you wolfie about a single idea it is amazing how your imagination can run away with itself
I see your point Cynthia about the two poems. It is always a tricky one. I have written another longer poem recently which has got two parts to it but could just as easily be two poems. I may post it later
Thanks again everybody

Nice sonnet but shouldn't 'folks' have a possessive apostrophe?
Also, wasn't the bard's skull stolen, curse or no? A good subject for another sonnet, perhaps.

Ray,reminded us of a similar one we did back in 2013.
Hamelin man.
Just updated it with one of these-©-which we never used back then.The actual poem opens with the words of your title.
Great poetic minds oft-times think alike-me/wethinks.

Lynn,how dare we have missed this one!
We think it's because we were doing 'something' at the time,on both occasions.
Having pornographic memories of 28/9/15 we recall that because of the 'something' we were doing on that date,at that time our curtains had to be closed.
Well! you don't think we were going to give the window cleaner a free show,do you!? ;o) ;o)
Fortunately, while we were doing 'something' last night
we didn't need the 'coitins' closed because we don't think he cleans windows at night.
And anyway,because it isn't a pretty sight,its likely WE would have to have paid him to watch!
What a lovely thing to have seen-
the Moon we mean!

Very persuasive in a strong form - great confidence coming through and it shows the wonder of a sonnet and how powerful the message can be.

Fulsome praise Stu. I was going on to say about old ladies not using them so much and it would have meandered on , so this is the short version. To get poem of the week would be a leg up so to speak, and its very selfless of you to suggest this. I'll pay for a T shirt!

Cheers for the feedback Jemima. If it gave you a smile then my job is done.
Always nice to hear back from people though and most don't bother, so you never know whether what you have written is appreciated or not.
Most of my stuff is damn silly, but there are some serious ones too - check out my blog entries.
Cheers again for making the effort to respond. Makes it all worth while.

I wrote it for fun really and enjoyed doing it. I think it does resonate a little with people who lived that particular dream. Personally I dreamt of Thatcher dying early but hey ho....

And... I too saw the Stranglers last year, birthday present from my lad. They've have still got it!
