The Rocky Road to Ruin is their intent,
To the Rocky Road to Ruin they are hell bent.

Nicola, I did just that. I am still waking toward that light, sometimes stumbling along, sometimes drug along, but still I move toward its glow.

Flavia, thank you for tour kind words. I am going to read the two poems you mentioned. I trust that all I have endured will be used for good to reach those who have known suffering and turmoil. If my words can help bring hope and healing to others then it was worth it. I'm glad that you enjoyed reading my work. ☺️

I always fancied myself as Clint Eastwood in High plains drifter, but, sadly, I'm more like Jim Dale in carry on cowboy ?

A lovely piece, John. And, my grandmother used to play that very song, On Mother Kelly's doorstep! I remember it was scratched to bits, but it still played, in between the crackles & jumps !

Original item by Stephen Gospage
I am fascinated by the image of the drifter in the Old West. A man with a mysterious past and an unknown future riding into town, liberating the people from tyranny in a showdown and then riding away again, almost without comment. Just doing what has to be done, albeit in a violent way.

Quality not quantity, I'm sure, John. Some people near us are building a shed and calling it a Gite (for rent). Plus ca change......

It’s beyond me, Graham, how we’re downsizing to a more expensive house. Our Gert has explained it to me but I forget what she said.

Graham,
This is a heavy blanket of awe and wonder and beauty and pain. Thank you for the journey. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Only one item that needs improvement -
"building up steam like and old train" should be "building up steam like an old train"
Thank you for sharing this.

And she's never tried to set fire to it with you inside. What forbearance! ?
And GOOD luck with the move. What happens to that garden pond/
fish hobby?

Original item by John Coopey
One might legitimately ask "what's new" about government of any
sort? Politics is not for saints and the words "yes" and "no" are
ephemeral at best and rarely issued from a politician's lips. Like
the wind, they blow in whatever direction circumstance dictates.

Great poem!
Comment is about The Rocky Road to Ruin (blog)
Original item by J.D. Bardo
This poem touches on the reality of so many of today's governments. The difference between what is said and what is done. "They feed us news with fake content", is the line I like most of all. With such advanced media we are even more prone to being the recipients of lies. This poem is a call for us to take governments to task and investigate their claims and policies.
A poem which is very topical and well crafted
Thanks for this
Keith

Just be careful with the superglue when you find yourself alone in the shed.

Such a heart felt poem and so well put together. It really touched my heart. Well-penned Stephen.
Where time was a colourful
shifting sand
That paid no heed
to life or death
It simply lived
for every breath
