Hi Celia

I've read your piece over about three times and find it mesmerizing....

Ghastly and inspired Harry - admirable for the shape alone. The contrast of the white bucket is pure horror. I can almost sense the gravity of it.

Fine imagery and worthy in every way. The great thing about senescence is its rarity and virgin quality, and it rhymes with essence, pubescence presence; the list could go on. A Pandora's box.

Fabulous. Ray

Cheers chaps!

Ooo yes, senescence is one of my favourite words - the sound, the process, love it. I included it in another poem about how we never really die, how our skin cells enter other people through their mouths and noses :) It was called Rebellious Senescence :D

Look forward to your gothic horror sequence :D

Thank you very much Rob :) Yeh, that's another one of those pesky rules innit, if you're writing a series of them, they have to be able to stand alone, and my Arrested one didn't (although I had a lot of fun writing it ha).

Fear embalms the alligator - it's like a translation of a haiku heh :D

In fact, it all seems like a translation.

Comment is about in a while crocodile (blog)

Original item by Stuart Buck

One of the first haiku I ever tried my hand at. It was sparked by entering a new friend's house and seeing her vase of dead red roses. I had the exact same thing at home, and never thought anyone else would want to keep dead flowers :D It told me an awful lot about her. I preferred them dead, tbh. Something special about them.

Indeed. It makes the poem even more special, knowing that.

For rhyming 'Leicester' with 'invest a' you deserve some kind of award! It made me laugh out loud. :-)

Original item by M.C. Newberry

This could go to the wire! Not being a particular fan of
either Spurs or Leicester (or footie in general for that
matter unless it's the TV "highlights" and the internationals), I still enjoy the unexpected in sport and
Leicester has produced that in spades! But I can do
without all that grabbing and holding, along with the
diving and ganging up on the referee.
And now we have a breath of fresh air (literally) - a world record on snow from "Eddie the Eagle"!
What next?

Cheers Stu. Yes, that line does hit out a bit with the consonants, thanks. A masculine feminine crossroads with a barrier, is that It? That line you quote is a classic.
The idea of a sort of dry cough orgasm appeals!
I might suggest a book to check out (booker prize winner) I'm reading called The Narrow road to the deep north by Richard Flanagan about the Burma railway.

all the best.
