Thanks MC.
A Disunited King-dom,
Socialism for the obscenely rich,
A United Futilities Turd-dom,
Sleep on the streets-or in a ditch,
Can't even heat water for a bath,
"Let 'em eat turnips" sez one fat bitch,
Homes for heroes? Yer 'avin a laugh!

I remember the very first time I went to the swimming baths with our school-either I was pushed in, or I slipped. I vividly remember swallowing or inhaling large amounts of water as I thrashed about before someone fished me out.

Hi Uilleam,
Thank you for your comment! A lot of the time, "the fabric of time" represents how gravity affects our perception of time...because of gravity and all sorts of other things, the more mass an object in space has, the more it affects our perception of time(don't quote me, I'm not a scientist)....this is why, the closer you get to a black hole, the more time is diolated...black holes are incredibly massive and "weigh" down the fabric of time.
How does this relate? Well, this poem is about someone who has such a massive impact on my life, that she literally is my universe...time is her dress, and her impact is so massive that it changes my perception of time.
Thanks again!
Jason

Touching in its simple realisation of how death is best coped
with - from both sides of the event. No frills...just plain honest
sentiment that is a nod to the good times that make life worth
living. Well said, JC. You've done her proud with this posting.

Heard an AI 'expert' the other day suggest becoming artists was the answer to what all these unemployed people can do because of AI.

'tis a great cause for joy
on arising from my bed,
a pleasure unalloyed
to hear it said
by a blackbird singing,
she's in love, she's in love,
while the bluebells are ringing,
dear heavens above,
oh boy she's in love!

Great contributions, Manish, Stephen, Uilleam, Clare and Keith. I have just loved your responses. 😀 Epic!
I woke up and the lines
We plunder the earth
For all it is worth
came into my head. I claim no credit!
I saw piles of Gail's shoes in the cupboard (sorry Gail! But I did) and a poem ensued. The track of conspicuous consumption followed. Familiar, I know but I liked the line
'Put it on the plastic'
as it linked easy credit with Keith's point about plastic waste. Thanks guys! 😎
Thanks for the likes K. Lynn and Kevin.

A great rambling poem full of humour and laden with much truth. Eurovision? Dare I say Myopic Cultural Vision. A major comedy event of the year, which exemplifies the best of Europe.
I have read this tree times and enjoyed every line.
Thanks for this,

Beautiful poem Keith. I felt the tranquility of the old place reading it; you described the old hermitage/church in such fine detail. Hey Uilleam, another lapsed Catholic here (so many of us!) We now attend an Episcopalian church here in Calif. (yaaah England!). The Episcopalian church is in an old building with high arched wooden beams and soft light from colored stained glass windows. Just walking in there makes me feel peaceful. People love the building so much that it has been moved to different parts of town 3 times to avoid being torn down in the face of new development, and it was repaired after serious fire damage from a kid playing with matches. So much history and spiritual seeking; you captured it beautifully, Keith.

Thanks Keith. I was googling popular Ukrainian girls names and Anastasia was near the top of the list, and also had the right number of syllables for where I needed a name. Then I discovered that it means “resurrected one”, so I knew it was perfect for this poem.

John,
With this poem you have excelled yourself. Today we are dominated by greed and not need. We are rushing headlong downhill on a fast train to perdition. In the wake of this we leave non biodegradable waste, fish with ghastly mutations which disfigure them and a nation of people who are addicted to buying for the sake of buying. Never satisfied and always wanting more as we all sink beneath the waves of our own greedy plastic slime. Whatever happened to wood and craftmanship? Thank you for this. A poem to be broadcast. Or is to too late?
Keith

stumbling, meandering, or striding along,
A bit of each for me now, John.
When I think on our little back garden on a 45 degree slope, how I built a set of steps from old flagstones and cobbles from nearby demolished houses, with no building skills at all. Still solid as a rock though!
-but ouch, my back!
