Past his best when he joined us at Sunderland, but he still had that swagger & style we loved.
And who doesn't love putting one over the Manchester's ?

I hope this poem is etched over the dressing room door at Huddersfield JC. If not it should be.
Hope you're well

Action needs to be the result of words. If not we serve no purpose in alleviating the plight of the hungry and dispossessed. I agree with you.

Keith, thank you for the comment. I agree, but I would suggest it is more than the disparity between haves and have-nots. Human nature has an opportunity, whether rich or poor, to remember those who are less fortunate. Our forgetfulness and glib attitudes are more the issue.

That sort of outcome makes English football the timeless leveller
that is so appealing to our sensibilities. I bet the older Frank W. would have smiled at his younger look - back in the day when shorts
were shorter and hair was longer !

I love you like a kid loves the candy, the girls love teddy, the women love jewellery and the mother loves their child, like romeo loved juliet, desert miss the rain....but these are all old school type.
This is an awesome poem. Reminds me of so many songs, verses of each is quoted above.
"I know it makes me a shitty person that I don’t want you to have friends
But I want you all to myself I've always been greedy like that
"I was just hoping you wouldn’t need anyone else, that I was enough for you because I know I’m not for everyone else" these lines are awesome and anybody in true love would understand and happily sacrifice.?

To read this is to draw comparisons in a world where there are those who have and those who do not have. It is not so much the disparity in wealth which is alarming but the sheer lack of human concern for those who are living in abject misery. As one man lives in a villa worth millions there is somewhere another man who is making bricks out of mud to build his home.
Thank you for this

Thank you to everyone who liked this. There is a race between vaccination and the third wave and more restrictions will be necessary until the numbers immunised get up to a decent level. At the moment, only 10% of Belgians, where I am, have had their first dose.

Thank you, as ever Keith for your erudition and empathy. As I.grow older I go further back for my reading. This poem was inspired by Virgil's the Aeneid and the Eclogues, one passage in particular:
"I will be gone from here and sing my songs/ In the forest wilderness where the wild beasts are,/ And carve in letters on the little trees/ The story of my love, and as the trees/ Will grow letters too will grow, to cry/ In a louder voice the story of my love."
Virgil 70 BC to 21 BC

A poem from the heart of inner searching and anguish from the past. The poem has a raw content but engenders compassion. Honesty is at the fore.
Well written and direct.

Comment is about Trapped in my mind (blog)
Original item by curiousdud3
a poem of intense longing for that moment when we drift away. As with all your poems I am drawn to certain lines, "waves to gentle my dreams as I slide into the sea" and " while young ghosts in the hallway weep silently". As the reader I am there. If I were to write this poem I should want to be close to the sea but in a chair wrapped in a heavy tartan blanket with my pipe and a glass of rioja as the sun sets. A poem which brings to together life as a culmination of all yet in a moment of time.
Dare I say, more please.
Thank you for this
Keith

You are quite right about consistencyMC. We coined the very definition-“Spursy”. We were top of the league just before Christmas, having beaten Man U and City, and the Arse. Two months later we were mid-table having dropped like a stone. “Spursy” from game to game and also within a game, always capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s what every Spud signs up to.

Stuart,
This is a good poem and the last stanza really says it all. There but for the grace of God go we. Many are unfortunate in either their appearance or mental agility. They need all our love, attention and support. I once knew a young man who was downs syndrome. He was regarded as a lost cause by most until he developed a flair for cooking and baking. He was sent to a Catering College against advice but emerged with distinctions and credits along with best student of the year. As your poem concludes "show some humanity".
A good poem and thank you for it
Keith

JC - I wasn't aware of that comment from JM.. But maybe he was
"talking them up" into being better than they were? His previous
teams were hardly short of class/talent. The question is - where is
the consistency of play from the players now? Arsenal has had
the same problem. Talk about travelling in hope in a league that
has players swanning around claiming to be worth hundreds of
thousands of £££s a week!! ?

The mind can be a dark place but there are ways of breaking free from its influence. Look outwards and focus yourself on someone or something else to distract your attention. This poem comes from deep within using powerful expressions. A poem seeking release from a form of captivity.
Thank you for this

I really love this poem by Tupac:
The Rose That Grew from Concrete
(autobiographical)
Did u hear about the rose that grew from a crack
in the concrete
Proving nature's laws wrong it learned 2 walk
without having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams
it learned 2 breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else even cared!

Indeed it’s sad to see where County are. They vie with Sheffield United for the title of oldest club in the world. If they get back they should adopt the Phoenix motto - if Accrington Stanley hadn’t beaten them to it.
As for “over-priced imitations”, Maureen himself said it was the most talented squad he had ever inherited and that he couldn’t believe his luck. Well, that seems to have deserted him.
