Welcome! I'm interested in living to - or at least I don't want to die yet. There are too many lyrics in me waiting to come out. That's a nice seagull you've uploaded there - does it symbolise the freedom you find in poetry?

I was so struck by that last little box, and the other boxes associated with this case. And the lies...obviously.
Cheers for reading and taking the time to comment.

On the starting line
words spoken set off
first lap care taken.
Gathering up the pace
Vocal power takes control
each verse gains structure.
Collage poem finishing last
but with a glow

JC - you may recall commenting on my post "Fallen Angel" to the effect that you were waiting on the tune.
I have to tell you that I woke up early (too b....y early) yesterday morning with a tune
running through my mind which I somehow knew
would fit. The downside was getting out of my
warm bed to sing a version of the two into my
tape recorder...knowing that if I stayed abed,
I would fall asleep and forget it next time I
woke up. The price we creatives pay for our
efforts!!! Anyway, I am arranging for it to
be recorded by my usual excellent source and
hope to post the completed product on WOL in
due course.

It was an enjoyable evening as usual, but why was there no tribute to former TSE Prize recipient, Seamus Heaney? The evening should have begun with one of the PBS's recordings of SH reading.

Greg,
Yes; it was an extraordinary evening. Quite something when nothing but poetry fills the Festival Hall.
As I'm pretty sure McMillan said: who knows, next year, we might even be on TV!

Many thanks for your comment on 'Before You'. I see you are no stranger to love poems yourself :)
I also note that I last commented on one of your pieces back in 2011! The Library one. Was excellent.

My husband has a "Bucket List" poem. But his is very serious. He was told that he had a serious blood disorder. Turned out to be nothing but scared the He-- out of us for a while.
Nice writing

The way that Western leaders regularly line up with an oppressive regime which continues with multiple illegalities is extraordinary. Sharon was one of the worst, with much blood on his hands.

Happy new year, Laura, chuck, and glad you liked Surbiton Lagoon. To tell the truth, I didn't go there much, because at that time I couldn't really swim. But I could always hear them all enjoying themselves, in the distance.

No steam trains going past Surbiton Lagoon, John, more's the pity, thought they weren't far away, of course. A whistle in the distance.

Lovely poem Harry. Captures that moment of being overthrown by a constellation of things -music, the light, her beauty.... and she was a doctor? Good catch!

I know John, I have to need somethin` goin` for me.
I took her to see Macbeth, and she insisted on
pointing out that McDuff`s blood was the wrong colour...She was, though, lovely...and very, very Irish. I couldn`t believe my luck.
(That one on my profile was a goodbye one for her)
