The reports of this individual's actions can surely serve to remind
us of the depravity that can be found in human existence. Far
too often we seek to either ignore or even excuse its existence
and can be said to create the scenario which allows it to occur.
The beast within is shown the door through which it can emerge
and yet disguise itself and hide again.

Agree with Hugh. I wrote some lines following my own mother's
death at the venerable age of 90. Yet somehow, the age never
came into mind; instead there was always this thought she'd be
around forever.

I once met a trumpeter from the Glenn Miller band in the middle of a vineyard in France. Great memories invoked by music.

So many similar stories.

Like children picking up bad habits.

This is beautiful Stephen. It's such an art to be able to write a short poem that brings out so many emotions. I love this poem because it is playful and sweet and provides some genuine romanticism to what otherwise might be seen as 'ordinary day to day tasks'.

I suppose they are both 'creators of effect not easily dismissed' Ray. Of course, as MC says, recordings will outlast a soldier's bullet.

I read this after a recent viewing of (and participation in) an
online discussion about the likes of Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw,
and their skills in the big band days. They would certainly know
about the content here. Thank heavens for recorded music!!

A purse pup
may have a hankering
but it's too used
to pampering,
so to waves and sun
it shies away
prefers the comfort
of the shade.

I read/hear many poems on here, and sometimes struggle to grasp their meaning. This is a good thing, because with the absence of a preamble the reader places his/her own interpretation on it.
This one is an exception. Even without a preamble, the listener would know exactly what it is about. It was so well written you could have gone straight into it.

JC - answer to your question: Her original message has hardly gone unnoticed. But while a little of what you fancy does you good. too much runs the risk of being counter-productive.
Now answer my questions about what is NOT talked about. ?

I drove back to London from Ash Vale, Surrey last Friday and
my journey along the M3 was accompanied by a series of vivid
night sky firework displays that made the trip less boring than
usual. Welcome companions while they lasted; light and sparkle
without the noise (car windows shut).

Thanks Greg, very interesting. Macca does have a surprisingly avant garde side that often goes ignored. I always enjoyed his collaboration with allen ginsberg - ballad of the skeletons I think.
