Jennifer - so glad you liked cave paintings - were it not for my fear of deep dark spaces I would have tried in earlier times spending a night in one, just to see how it went. Take care and thanks for the comment. P

Hi JC - in your blog "Hideaway", you refer to "George Lloyd" when
you meant "George Floyd". I actually knew the real George Lloyd -a
disgracefully neglected British composer who lived near me in the
years prior to his death.

It's the old "Golden Rule"
Do unto others...

the bad part is...
those who burn and destroy businesses
are in fact destroying the lives of those
who built them, sometimes taking years,
their life-savings.

M.C., I always thought 'penny wise, pound foolish' COULD mean 'those people who skimp on pennies constantly, might get hit emotionally and helplessly, by something they absolutely WANT, regardless of cost. Something other folk could consider silly or unnecessary, anything from art to the finest cut of meat for just one meal.' I agree, it's a toughy!

That is a delightful photo above, so full of possible symbolism! The handwriting in a notebook. Even the decoration on the little, hand-thrown pot sitting upon a rough, plank table.

Maybe I'm totally off the mark, but, honestly, that is how my eyes swept over it, and had to look again, and smile.

Hi Mortimer

Thanks for your input on "Awaiting A Title".

You take a good stance, I value your comments.

Thanks for posting. But my article is nit about religion politics but about the migrant labor who are working in far away states. Due to covid19, unemployment due to covid 19, panic and poverty they are traveling back to their hometown 1000s of km away.Due to lockdown all the railway station and other public transport are shutdown.

Regarding religion-Don't trust bbc world or media trying to build the gap. INDIA is and always will be secular democratic country with Unity in Diversity.
My article is not about religion based politics but the plight of migrant labor who are stuck in state thousands of Km away. It is about life of poverty. Locals, media are trying as much as possible but strong policy is required to help lakhs of people migrating 1000+km By THEIR Foot. Yes By Walking.
Not every news of India is about religion ❤️

Hi Cynthia, Thanks for your message.
Yes, I'm still working with children at the school, although Lockdown has made it very difficult. Only the most vulnerable can attend.
I enjoy reading your poems very much and thank you for your comments on mine.

Lockdown in the apartment;

comfortably imprisoned
not one who readily complains

He has a new photo
out of the blue

a new hairdo,
Like a rooster cock
upon review
looks like a sudden wind
came through!

I didn't realise you were having another lean time, David. The leaving of Grimsby? But you're compensating by the huge amount of work you're doing with The High Window. That is becoming a great achievement.

Yes, Greg, that was the one that got me started again after all that time. I had eight amazingly prolific years in which I must have written getting on for 300 poems until three years ago I stopped again. It is all a bit of a mystery to me. It seems to me that the real poems come unbidden and I don't need to chasing after the ones that don't need to be written.
