jennifer, dk
dk he is right
He does have a profile
It's black and not white

You just gotta watch him
He likes playing round
Pulling ones leg
And winking one down

I see he'll be happy
With capital J
No code to decipher
(I must be away) ?

Regarding "Free Speech" and your comments
I think England has gone down the tube
much like the USA.
you cannot truly speak your mind.
the speech police will come and
take you away.

Hello Jeannot,

Thank you for your kind words. In my profile I ask for comments on my poems as being essential to my development as a poet and writer. I welcome constructive criticism but this is double edged as I feel bound to criticise in turn to give my comments in the hope that they will be helpful to others. WOL is a great opportunity for us all to learn from each other.

Thank you again
Keith

thanks for the kind comments on 'with banners..'Keith - I am lucky not to be in the position of the poems theme - but I do a lot of gigs for homeless charities as part of the We Shall Overcome campaign - we are playing the 'With Banners Held High' festival in Wakefield on 18th May - looking forward to that one so much - and hopefully this will be recorded as a song by my band in time to sing it our=t at that festival ?

Autism has many faces.
one of the most common traits is stimming.
also most are not social and have a hard time being around
other people. I send you this on stimming which is the
rhythm i refer to in the poem.

Thanks for your comments on "First Ride".
I said it as best I could.
all kids are drawn to horses I think.
and all want to ride.
When you have a horse underneath you.
you are on top of the world.

Haha Trev - I kept meaning to do one anyway ?

Yeh, I like the first one best too, but thought I'd be a smart-arse and cycle through the seasons, keeping in sight of the prompt ?

Also - I can't decide between this last line, or

'in bleak midwinter'

Whaddaya reckon?
