I hear ya sistah! I've now been shown a way to actually get some sleep at night - an ex Buddhist monk taught me, and it actually works.

Good luck with it - I feel your pain

Again, I like the simplicity of this, but I think that may be a little typo in the last line? Should 'no' be 'know'?

Hmmm - I really like the simplicity of this, and it reminds me of sprung rhythm, in fact, I would say it was SR. Nice one :)

Ha - agree with Steve on the last line :D

Interesting piece Ray - intriguing choice of subject

Great poem Andy - that photo is rather lush too.

My fave lines:

Autumn hadn’t
built itself up
as it normally did
but fell unexpected
from the skies
choking summer
until it fizzled away.

Can really feel it, nice one :)

This is lovely, velvety...I absolutely love that first stanza - spiced percussive hazel girls,
with eyes like warm chocolate cups - wow

Oh Chris P ... WELL DONE to you and you have such RAW and RARE talent and you certainly don't MINCE your words. I find all this SPAM rather hard to DIGEST. But two out of over nine hundred members is a POULTRY amount. I also find it hard to keep aBREAST of the tech world although we all need to gird our LOINS and KNUCKLE down to fighting this and not to CHICKEN out. If it gets iGNAWED we will be out of the PAN and straight in the FIRE. But enough of this TRIPE lets get BACK to composing GAMEs with words towards which we all have a LEANing...

"A moth brushes the afternoon,
grey flecked hair from mouth to wing".

You know I have always admired your work Marianne. To get a couple of lines like these into a piece is all I ever want in my work. Clever words indeed.

Lynn,
Government assisted subsidised travel to Dignitas in Switzerland would alleviate this problem and reduce the pension bill greatly.

I am sure that Dignitas would also provide-and staff - a completely unbiased counselling service for the undecided (If the coalition would subsidise that body also)

I am sure such arrangements must exist elswhere.

Thanks for raising what is a very real problem.

A lorra, lorra commas in there, Marianne. Great first verse, the 1st and 5th lines are beautiful. Not quite so taken by the rest, but - a moving antique orange is very fine.

Gosh powerfully thought-provoking. A blind lad where I live is always braving traffic in our busy streets. I hope his angels never have a day off. Enjoyed.

Great rant Lynn and addresses the concerns many have especially in the present financial climate. As your last verse implies, is poverty or good health the ultimate choice? Pass.

Very amusing and so typical of the real us underneath in spite of the face we try to mask things with. Enjoyed.

Strange how certain things such as pictures trigger after-thoughts. There is much implied in this poem for the reader to pick out and explore which is what the muse is all about. I enjoyed reading this thanks.

Why do I revel in your stuff Harry? I suppose it's because, we're two of a kind.
And because we are scousers, we're in the same mind.

If It's allowable Harry I'd like to perform this piece at my folk club. Let me know if you approve.
In the meantime check out my recent ten worder.
