Hugely funny in a droll sort of way and that was only the first part of the read.

Must catch up on the rest later as I have to head into town.

Am still chuckling.

Reminded me of the Stanley Holloway Monologues, which, if you haven't re-read recently, you ought to.

Good luck with the writing.

Tangoed is not a local expression. Its from the advert 'you've been Tangoed' tango is a fizzy drink.
As you well know, when you've wrestled with someone whose fake tanned it can get all over you too. Also when meeting certain men one feels as if one is in the advert and one has been Tangoed. I'm sure very posh women from Poshland do not know what such things are as being good at counting ones money from Daddies bank they have never known what it is like to be Tangoed or to drink Tango. There endeth the lesson on being Tangoed.

I don't know if they have ornaments in the orient , you are funny.
I have lots of ornaments , too many .
I've never been to the orient but I want to go to Paris but I need a pair of strong shoulders to take me , not a pair of socks.
Hope you are well.
I still think you need a hat as well.
Hats are very useful for keeping your ears warm xxx

This chaotic world we live in
Oh beautiful chaotic world
Do you have a plan?
Do you hear us scream?

Because you're all over the place
Do you ever slow down the pace?
That might be the best you can do
Is everything I hear about you true?

Your reputation ain't good in the millenial minds
Can you blame em?
We just don't understand you
Do this, do that, fuck us over after all those tries

We're trying to save you
At least
I am
That ain't a scam

I want the best for you remember that

Just be there for me, that's all I ask

Love you much, don't let that be in vein

Comment is about Anne Nieborg (poet profile)

Original item by Anne Nieborg

I think I'm losing my mind
Constant anxiousness fucks me up
Not knowing what I want is what I find
When I look inside my mind

Like a library trying to find the chapter
Where this comes from
Where did it begin? where is the source?
Where did life take this course?

Is it me? Did I not foresee? How this came to be. How can I be free? I ask thee.

I think I'm losing my mind
Anxiety haunts me at night
But not only at night also during the day
To others I do not know what to say

I am faking my every move and laughter, love and happiness doesn't feel real
My brain is on fire, that's how I feel

Depression became my friend
Picked me up as happiness left
I felt sadness and lonelyness coming closer to me
At least I'm not really alons, that's what I see

My old friends came around, came back
But confidence I lack
Because what if I only make them up
Ah there's guilt, I'm in luck

I think I'm losing my mind

'The sky can't be blue enough' and 'The power of giving' are both very profound poems. The first brought me to a stillness with you, and the second took me from stillness with you. Thanks for sharing them and I look forward to reading more of what you write.

I recognised South Shelds, too - and I've only been there once, on a very wet day that did include a visit to the museum. Has a wonderful state of the art library, too. Ocean Road, what a name, even if does only lead to the North Sea. Enjoyed your poem very much, Crystal.

Hello John,

May God be with you always. I made an elaborate prayer requesting God to help you in all your endeavours, to bless you immensely with good health, happiness, peace, prosperity, love, tranquility and serenity.
"May God be pleased with you always. May He grants all your good wishes, prayers in your favour."

Always have faith in the One who created you. He is extremely loving, merciful forgiving Lord. Ask and it shall be given to you. Pray with full faith and belief that your prayers are accepted in your favour.

All my duas and best wishes for you always.

Peace n blessings be upon you. Ameen.

I really appreciate your kind words. It's part of a series called, rather pretentiously, 'Poems of time and place'. I'll put some more on the profile.

Not a catholic, even part-time. I did once have a mitre. It was a football signed by Bobby Moore.

More power to your pen.

Hello Mr. Paul,
Thank you for the warm welcome and your kind comment.?

Honestly, it was more difficult than I thought especially the grammar, because I started to learn English 6 years ago.

And I want to say that the previous generation is the mainstay of society, without them we are nothing, so thanks for you efforts.

I will work harder!

I don't usually read poets or poetry.
I'm just different that way.
But I read this and was impressed.

Each time he climbed another mountain peak,
He took a slice home as a souvenir;
Nothing too big, just a vanishing scrape.
One day, on cue, he heard the mountain speak,
And through dawn’s modest light, it shed a tear
At such a violation of its shape.
This act would likely finish his career.

All it could become
