At ease he sits
by his side
she waits too
till such time
he hears her call.

This is an amazing brainmatic thriller
The trail so curvy and twisty
Breadcrumbs as a mark to mystery
The last straight captured my heart.
Excellent!!

Comment is about Heartsoubody!! (blog)

A nice metaphorical use of techspeak to convey breakdown in communications/relationships.
Strong ironic hint that over-reliance on such substitutions for real communication have actually led to this situation anyway. It's the universal neurosis of our times: can't do with, can't do without ...

You take life too serious
Said the Easter Bunny
Loosen up you gloomy lot
Most things should be funny

It's OK for you Easter
Silly Easter Bunny
We like our doomy gloomy times
When things are so un-funny

Grim fairy tales
downward journey starts
Go go dancer past fifty
evil records play

fruits of the dead

Comment is about Running Out of Cotton Wool (blog)

Original item by Don Matthews

Thanks for the likes, Joshua and Dorothy.

Just to be clear folks, this was not exactly a celebration of an occasion as the whole procedure hinges on sacrifices made in the name of a cause. If people feel they should show solidarity to that it does nothing to stem the lunacy of killing and being killed often for motives of the furthering of territorial objectives, but for those who feel a resonance emotionally once a year that it what is catered for with the showing of poppies. I could go into more depth but this isn't really the time and place in my opinion for more dissension to ensue.
In particular Brian, we can indeed go in groups to support any cause and publicly voice our opinions, and that would be more significant than a mere online presence, faceless and fairly impotent. I don't quite see that is hypocritical in itself but if you feel yourself as qualifying that is entirely your affair. I appreciate your thoughts Hannah and Martin.

Comment is about NEEDING MAYBE A TITLE IN LATIN (blog)

Original item by ray pool

In medicine it's a well-known habit
To find a germ and eagerly nab it
To inject it to get a protective reaction
From the body's defence force faction.
So - in life in general we should act
And understand that it's also a fact
The young need injections of risk and dangers
So when they're older they're not strangers.
Well-meaning adults can play the fool
By cossetting kids in cotton-wool !
