Thanks John - semi biographical I'm afraid. I knew too many bad lads though.

I was the bad lad always to be found at the back of the class. Nice observations, Rob.

The white stormy weather
Brought me the feather.
The wind will harm,
The winter has come.
The snow will cover the land,
My friend will give me his hand.
He'll give me a magical ring,
And I will dream of the spring.
The springs come from dreams,
It seems they're quick streams.
Like apple trees in ball gowns,
Like fresh green lawns.
The trees again are dressed,
The happy couples are blessed.
The hearts are filled with light,
Springs come with delight.
The ice will melt into spring,
The wind warmth will bring.
Traces of snow will be gone,
I admire a white nice swan.
The spring steps will wake me up.
My appetite for warmth I'll work up.
The green grass will be new,
My feet will be wet in the dew.
From the warm lands, the spring comes,
The birds' songs make a joyful alarm.
Spring looks like a young girl,
Nicely dressed and looks like a pearl.
Girls believe that happiness is near,
Very soon they hug their dear.
The winter is no more in our space,
The spring has come in its full grace.

Thanks sharing this; I really enjoyed it. I particularly like your vocabulary, and I thought the half-rhymes were great. And it builds to a wonderful resolution in the last stanza!

Dear Mr. John, I am happy to report your letter to Mr. Musk has been well received here in California. After reading it to my husband and eliciting a large guffaw, my husband texted the link containing the letter (amazing what one can send by post nowadays) to his fishing buddies (who frequently text each other joking comments about the wonderful world of politics). My husband also read the letter to the old guys from our church who meet for coffee on Wed. mornings; apparently the table erupted in laughter. So, Mr. John, thanks to you, much of Calif. is laughing. Long live poetry!

Excellent, Trevor. I had a similar experience some years ago when I rolled up at Doncaster Station’s Executive Car Park with my First Class ticket in my rusted, beat up Triumph Dolomite. Very satisfying.

Fine poem, Hélène. I often want to tune out of all this, but don't suppose that I will. More's the pity, I guess. If everyone ignored the guy, he'd probably go away!

Thank you, Graham. I understand your sentiments. It is sad that innocent people are just dumped into unmarked plots during wartime. Everyone should be remembered.

Hi Landi,
So strange that you mention "The Truman Show" as I was watching clips of it just the other day, I'm not even sure why I was watching them.
I can see the link you have allude to.
Thanks for reading and comments.

..sorry to come to this so late, but I keep thinking of The Truman Show, the tragic version. I'm most sure that isn't what you had in mind, I just picked up a hint of surrealism and being set up from afar.
