Hi Dorinda,

Thank-you for offering to donate. You should be able to do it by visiting https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/wolbeyondthestorm

The link had taken you to a log in page for JustGiving. We don't have any control over the login at that site so I can't help directly with the original question but if you use the above link, you shouldn't need to log in.

Thanks Po (I think ? )
definitely one that needs some rework - but there's the basis of a blues guitar track here I think - so may come back to it with more time and take off some of the edges (but leave the ending)

Thanks for your comment, Hannah. Nature indeed never stops even if we do (:

Glad you like it also Nigel, it's frightening what you see of yourself when you look outside and know it just out of reach.

Thanks also Poemgraphic for your thoughts. Yeah, there is a element of time travel (aka back to the future) in this piece in a way. I hadn't looked at it like that, so thanks for that.

Thanks also to Itsjustmedownhere and Moon Girl - means a lot you guys like this too (:

Felt compelled to write this after the bank holiday yesterday.
It is a bit rushed and perhaps best read after my earlier post The Lock Down Bank Holiday.
So sad that I had the material provided for this poem.

One thing to learn from this I personally find is you have to have eyes in the back of your head even more on-line. The night I co-run Speak Easy hasn't had any trouble such as this and if we did, it's set up now so people that cause trouble are thrown straight out and banned.

It is very disrespectful to everybody that is there and ruins it for everybody else.

Glad you managed it well Ian.

Am sure we have all been there in one way and another, only time heals if it ever does - bad memories never help our equilibrium - so we have to climb the stairs of hope. Not sure that will helps if that isn't you - I suppose there would be no blues music if we didn't learn to cope - counsellors might have some answers to this conundrum. Compelling read BTW. Take care. P.

I have submitted two poems for this competition.
However I am having problems trying to donate! The Just Giving site keeps asking me for my password - I have done this - they then ask me to enter my password and I keep doing this. Every time it comes back to the same box! I even tried "lost my password" box, but again I keep getting the box asking me for my password! I tried again and they said they would send me a new password, but they haven't, and I'm back to that box again!
I do want to give, so could anyone help please?
Thank you!

A bitter-sweet irony in these lines...reminding us of those nicknames
we give to the afflicted...often intended as a backhanded salute to the
way afflictions are borne. The final lines make an excellent "pay-off"
to what has gone before.

Po - please refresh my attention span regarding the "earworm" song
plus the "incident" you refer to. I'm one tep forwards, two steps
back at the moment! Put it down to anno domini. Which has me
wondering whether the current situation will be referred to in the
future as "BC" (Before Coronavirus) and "AC" (After Coronavirus") ?
?
