If that is the case then I apologize. I missed the news item about Wendy Cope.

An incorrect assumption in an age in which to be readily offended appears endemic. I was reading the news item on Wendy Cope
and it occurred that there had surely never been a time when poets
in either category had so much opportunity to be read and heard.
And that both could and should make hay now that the sun shines
so brightly on the stuff they produce. Cheers!

If I didn't know better I'd assume that this is a dig at another poet on this site.
I hope that I'm wrong, and not reading too much into this.

Arachnids are interesting creatures - not least for the variety of their
size and effect - ranging from harmless (to humans) to deadly and
best avoided. They have both inspired and instilled fear. My most
recent memory was seeing one tiny specimen near my bathroom
window suddenly emerge and rush forward to literally wrap a tiny
passing insect in its enveloping thread in what seemed like seconds.
Size is only relevant to the parties and the situation involved ! I'm
glad to live in a benign land which has no dangerous specimens - like
the Brazilian Wandering Spider which is known to run AT people, its
venom being of the nasty necrosis sort that rots the infected flesh.
Meanwhile, armed with a glass and piece of card, I'll keep helping
those more congenial examples I find trapped in the bath ?

Sadly, there are too many instances where the brave would-be rescuer perishes and the person in trouble is rescued. Most often it involves pets in distress too. He certainly was selfless.

Tom,
Thanks for your message on my profile which I appreciate greatly. We seem to have a similar approach to the way we write poetry. The word inspiration is at the root of the matter. From where does this come? Is it random or formulated in the subconscious? I often pass through times of aridity then the opposite occurs and I find myself in full flood.
I enjoy your poetry. Never stop writing.
Keith

Thank you for commenting John, ?
The words 'I love you' and 'trust me' always come in gaudy attractive packaging but inside each packet the quality and quantity of contents can vary immensely from what might have been expected. In that way many people must reach a similar place.
Also thank you Nigel for yet another lovely poetic response ?
I'm always honoured when my poetry inspires more poetry.

A crying heart
needs a love
gone far far away
when crying does not help
it stabs itself with pain.

All my mates had been to see their football stars and kept asking me when I was going to a match.
One day my Dad took us and I fell in love with football.

This poem for me spoke immediately of my best friend who I first met in Germany whilst serving in HM Forces 52 years ago. We have never been two peas in a pod as we differ on many issues. Yet it is a friendship rooted in a certain consistency, honesty and mutual respect. I was particularly drawn to your line "there have been gaps when you and I fell out of orbit" This was always temporary as we soon re established contact.
Thank you for this.
Keith

I ❤ this poem Brenda. Talk about the moon's glow getting stronger i was in Wales a few days ago & the almost full moon was staying visible in daylight so that's how bright it's getting ? Don't forget to make a full moon wish!

Beautifully captured and so true. I have spent more time doing battle in my garden this year then I usually do and feel glad for having done so.
Thank you for sharing these sentiments in such a positive way. It is interesting how one can remove all manner of weeds, from the garden and one's past, when battling in the flower bed.

A wonderful poem, I especially like poems about gardening, and you have done several. I love this one, and hope that it will be seen outside of our poetry community as this is so readable with great points being made. Definitely deserving of publication!! J.D.
