Is the above 'poetry posture' inspired by Oscar Wilde? It so reminds me of a favourite black and white photo of that man which I found in a magazine when I was a teenager. Same tilt of the head and sling of the hips. I still have it framed on a lounge table, years and years and years later. Just a question; the similar 'attitude' made me smile.

That's an impressive photo on this blog. I will try to catch up with more of your work. I haven't been much on line this past year. Do you know how to build guitars? I get the feeling that if you don't, you'll learn. It would be quite an achievement.

This is an amazing 'photo' on your site, basically without gender, despite the long lashes and the dress. Is photogtaphy an interest as another form of 'art'?

What's with 'lower case letters'? Am I missing something currently in vogue about poetical 'awareness'

Never had tattoos, ear-rings or (heaven forbid!) a pony-tail <never
fancied being considered as a "horse's arse"!> Besides, it didn't go with the uniform I wore when that word had more recognisable
meaning than now. ?

Yes, like tattoos and earrings
and long hair in pony tails.
The young get old yet cling to
their former ways.
the problem is the tattoos sag
the hair thins
and wrinkles replace what was.

Never heard of Miss Mary's walk, although I have walked to Hesleden via the cycle track.
And, like you, when I was a lad, any sign of a derelict building & I was in! At least we lived to tell the tale!

Jeans with holes
leave girls disposed
to show more leg
which men extol
at least that is
what I've been told
the more the leg
the merrier our souls.

If you want to show off
and make men want to troll
then wear those hot pants
with the raggedy holes,
the more woman's flesh
the more enticing to see
so show men some leg
and they'll hover like bees!

Thoroughly enjoyed some of your reads and especially the panic experienced when walking through darkened woods at night, since I had a repeat experience as a kid and occasionally it still returns to haunt.

Where there are squirrels
there are nuts & seeds,
Squirrels drive you nuts
most would agree,
They invade your attic
your property
soon squirreled away
they never leave!

If calories are your concern
then do not overeat
it's best to have a poem instead
their norishment can't be beat,
and while a steady diet of
may leave you feeling draineed
a daily poem is never a loss
and always yours to gain.
