Original item by Aviva Rifka Bhandari
A dear friend celebrated her 70th birthday on 1 April. A sincere and devoted person. This poem drew me back 68 years, before I knew her, to imagine a similar scene with a more frugal fare as it would have been in those days. Every poem has one or more lines which, for some inexplicable reason, catch my eye and stimulate my imagination......"She likes space, walking and talking". As does my friend Sheryl.
Thank you for this
Keith

I guess I still have much to learn,
But from what you say
You must have a lot of ghost readers.

'Flecks' is right Keith, my friend. That's what we are left with: the unknown unknowns that haunt our intelligence, our dreams and our poetry. Thank you kindly. John

Stephen, I just adore these 'something else' type of poems
which in my opinion
this one is just that
excellent! excellent!

This poem speaks of the divine plan for us all, a plan which we are not privy to but will be realised in the fullness of time.
Thank you for this

The flecks of words and canvass seem to harmonise in this poem as the writer seems to come under the spell of thoughts, disjointed yet following a strange sequence.
Intriguing and entrancing
Thank you for this

Thanks for the likes Dean, Stephen G, Holden and Kevin. Stephen G I think you are probably immune from the likes of such.
Quite possibly Leon.
Well done to you Kevin, shouldn’t be necessary though. I just don’t understand how some people think it’s acceptable.

Thanks, MC. It is hard to imagine, however, that when F’sF was being developed that at some point someone (maybe Mrs Lofthouse herself) said, “That’s exactly the taste I’m looking for”.
And thanks for the Like, Aviva.

Thanks Stephen, agree how one misses not being able to read the paper in a café, or have a drink outside in the evening ! Only positive aspect to Covid I can think of - that we will enjoy these simple pleasures so much more when the worst is over.

I saw the report and wondered, in passing, whether her product had been instrumental in the length of her own (long ) life. Good to know
too that women have always been making their mark in bringing
inventive thinking into being for our benefit. . .

This is a really cute poem, I like it.
But it made me think...
IF it were only 'ANDS, or BUTS
- it would have been a whole other poem. ?

A reference to the passing of Doreen Lofthouse, “inventor” of the FF lozenge and to the old joke:
Judge to coughing miscreant “Would you like to suck on a Fisherman’s Friend?”. Miscreant “Don’t you think I’m in enough bother?”
And Thankyou for the Likes to Nazia, Holden and Kevin’s W and TSTan.

After seeing all the news stories about the amount of litter being left behind after days out enjoying the lovely weather. It seemed appropriate to revisit this poem from last year. Amended slightly.
