Gosh, Greg, only just seen this message, sorry. Agree about extremists, lowest of the low, and agree about Dad's Army too, it is the best.
I think my poem makes me sound much more patriotic than I actually am. My inspiration to write it was on reading in a puzzle magazine about a British actress. I realised she must be English, otherwise they would have stated she was Welsh or Scottish. This is where I think our pc has gone silly.

For me, it's an excellent poem - but IMHO doesn't need the last bit.
I think it could end very well like this, or similar

....how my life has changed
I need you to walk the cliff path with me again -
I get lost when I’m out there on my own.

Hi Andy

I enjoyed your poem and your bio. I spent a few years in Manchester as a little girl as my Dad was from there.

If you're sometimes down in London I help out at two venues called Camden and Lumen where they have regular open mics. You can find them on Facebook.

Hi Cynthia - re: Down to Earth - many thanks for the detailed analysis your comments always valuable - like yourself I have quite a varied background with mine straddling a Master's in Philosophy amongst other qualifications and 3 significant career paths followed by adventurous living overseas - poetry though has always been precious to me and some might regard me as aloof because I always seem to be working on the next muse - although I do have a whacky sense of humour probably born of my northern origins in the face of adversity x

Hi Ann - I can see that you've disabled comments on your latest - a lovely sad poem - but I thought you need to know that this is superfluous, as its obvious from the rest that they're gone - just my 2 cents !! xx

and as sit and think all this,

I realise that all the people
that I want to see today are gone

Kath, this is a lovely description of breaking clouds, full of imaginative adjectives making common images freshly original. Apart from the obviously visual, I presume this poem can be applied metaphorically to just about any situation in life. I think good poetry is just the first turn of the spade in an endless hole.

Ann, your interest in archaeology so fits with my admiration of your deep imagination, I am flabbergasted I never considered the association before: a digger of the past, and digester of the seemingly insignificant to make a comprehensive whole. It was screaming at me. I greatly support the explorers, but often quail at their preconceived conclusions.
