Thanks for your comment on my poem, "Evil".
Luckily the poem turned out fairly good,
not evil!

Great writing! Evil does seem to be so present now, or perhaps we get to know what is happening more as the media delight in telling us about ever more gory crimes. Why do they have to tell us 'he was
burnt alive after the accident', or the number of stab wounds some poor soul received? 'Virtue competes with evil trends and cruel conceit' - memorable.

Really funny this one!!! Made my day definitely. I used to do hospital visiting, and there was a lovely boy, (but not to his parents, understandably) who had tried just about everything, and was in a bad way. He complained about the red spiders all over the bed, and the blue monkey on the ceiling! If I brushed the spiders off frequently, and said the monkey was asleep, he would settle down!

Seems Janet's not responding at present....must be asleep...guess aliens also need their dose of sleep...will try later

Was talking 'bout leap floggy
The one top right of screen
He ended up real murky brown
From what you see is green

Jumped into pile of mud. Didn't look where going....

Hello there,
Thank you for the like on my poem "Work of Art". I appreciate it. Afterwards I went ahead and read a few of yours and I fell in love with them. You write with much emotion and turn your pain into something beautiful. Please keep posting!

Did u hv/eat the word with Jane?
Will she/he b able to arrange
A trip to zololand or grobosand?
Are the bookings open for UFO's and other spaceships?

My frog ain't leaping
It's just sitting and sleeping
Taking baby steps to reaching
Me turned pink to yellowing

The only positive aspect seems to be the publication of what he writes from his incarceration. The word "uncivilised" takes on its
rightful meaning when considering the legal cat and mouse process
being enacted in a country that seeks to portray itself as worthy of
respect and acceptance as "civilised".

Hope's renewed, may be it's the month to date?

Of course you can. It's there to be found on all your blogs...? Occasionally, we all have to wait until "the penny drops" for the
mind - like those public conveniences of yesteryear - to become
engaged. As long as we can remember that we've forgotten, then all is not lost beyond recall (so to speak). Know what I mean ?!

Always good to get the "all clear" - whatever the problem.
