Thanks Lorna. I'm on a challenge to write a haiku every day and on some days have been doing a Tanka also. Today's inspiration was the rain. I'm working from home currently and that's all I could see today... The Rain (:?

Read these with rain pelting down and really enjoyed them. The military words seem a good fit.

Thank you for sharing your attraction of the sea.

Just as for you the sea has always facinated me. I spent a great deal of my childhood at the seaside. Although I now don't live by the seaside I regularly steal time to be near it.

The sea air purifies the mind and the soul.

Appreciate you hitting the like, too.

I bought the sheet music for Man of the World when it came out, as I was trying to teach myself to play guitar. Sadly, all I ever achieved was strumming a few chords rather than the eloquent expression of Peter Green's playing. But I loved (and still do) the Fleetwood Mac of that era. I get that this is really about your school friend, but the hommage is pleasing.

you're welcome. To be honest, this kind of sounds like the life of Christ. The part they don't want to talk about in church. The part that people refuse to see. That He was just as human as you and I.

And thanks to those who liked this one.
I hope it didn't come across as too bitter, if I had written it at the time that the shit did hit the fan it would have been far bitterer.

Cheers Kevin

Cynthia, thank you. My writing has been a gift of sobriety. Before all these words and feelings were trapped inside and my mouth was bound shut. My brain was in a constant fog and I lived like a zombie for years. Now the fog is lifting and my thoughts are clearer and I'm able to give a voice to all that's been buried deep inside. And I'm a man for the record. I'm wired differently I think.
