there's a fear I might sound like one of Monty Python's "Four Yorkshiremen" when I say this, but that's exactly how I remember my own childhood home.
I can remember my mum having to unplug the light to plug the iron into the socket. then having to iron on the twilight.

I wanna be a hammer
I wanna be a stake
Please Miss can I? can I?
I wanna scare partake
'Partake's a very big word
Johnny for you to say
I had to use 'partake' Miss
To make it rhyme, hey hey
You're hired Johnny. Here's your hammer and stake. Careful , don't hammer Ruth Johnny! (You don't hammer the person who hires you......) ?

I know you won't believe this
I heard your writer clicking
Down the wire as you did type
The ribbon it was sticking
(You didn't know I heard that did you ?...) ?
I'm trying to be green-friendly like Keith dk. I've got a black phone but the telephone company won't connect it. They say it's too primitive. Something about buggering up their circuits... Stamps keep rising and never know what to put on the envelope... Whistling kettle - I'm looking for one that whistles 'God save Australia' but no luck yet...

Should I do or should I not?
Was all Uri hocus pocus?

M.C., I do know that 'blessing'.
Apparently, I have 'Nordic' blood as well, which, in combination with the Celtic Irish, is quite a heritage for considering the 'esoteric' themes of life. There has to be some explanation for this unrelenting drive.
Ruth, how wonderful. My first thought was: 'Well, that accounts for the bright face leaping right off the screen. Irish eyes and a winning smile!'

The ultimate in the art of zen Don.
All the best ideas start by focusing on that blank screen in your mind. Ironically it can take hours of meditation to free that mental chatter and get a blank screen. Uri Geller's top tip in becoming psychic...Focus on your blank screen. So we can expect some predictions from you soon.

d.k.,
We are kindred spirits. Look after your typewriter and cherish it as it is green friendly. I am a self confessed technophobe who still writes poetry, short stories and letters with a fountain pen. Blotting paper at the ready and an inkwell. I stick stamps on letters and visit the post office. I even send postcards, picture postcards and the postman knows where I live. I too possess a typewriter but seldom use it as it is the forerunner of the computer, a cursed machine. My telephone is black and I also have a whistling kettle. Stay strong in the face of progress. I also keep a diary, a page a day diary, which is not vulnerable to power cuts or spam. You should receive HOTW Hero of the Week award.
I salute you.
Thank you
Keith

They sound like a movie of todays time. She should have been a script writer born now.
It does rings a gong in the head. Seriously i had always thought her to be a poet unlike your analysis.
Keep fuelling your think tank and keep sharing!!

Here's a haiku (genre fun)
10,000 miles to you
Been sitting in my drive 3 months
'Bout time it to you flew
You will notice I am improving with my haiku studies..........

The poem is entitled 'Oh to write like Emily' .It's hard writing (in rhyme) about a complex poet who wanted all her work destroyed. What attracted me was they were short rhymes, but so puzzling. A challenge you could say. And with titles like 'My life had stood - a loaded gun' and 'I felt a funeral' and 'Because I could not stop death' I couldn't resist her attraction....
