If I were to follow you
Jotting words how they do
Churning and turning my insides
And projecting them outside
I would choose the following words
Expressing feelings how they work
The list isn't too long to go
Here I start the letters to gently flow
First being LOVE which for sure invades me
Making me what i am meant to be
Second word is committment, true and worthy
For the one I love immensely
Third being, hope, faith, belief in the lord almighty
Fourth being happiness and contentment
Which for sure follows all the above words
Now I shall cascade the words in a waterfall
Dropping them like nectar in honey pool
Family, friends, party,
Worship, tranquility, peace
Neighbours, caring, loving
Trust, honesty, loyalty
Goodness, creativity, enthusiasm
Brightness, sunshine, glowing fountain
And the list shall go on endlessly
But to conclude I would write just these words undoubtedly
Last but not the least are, divinity, eternity and heavenly.
?
Hope you appreciate my initiative
And leave your message if you liked it
As for me, I enjoyed this poetic jotty?

Well thought. Every generation had their own pitfalls and struggles. Covid gen has theirs.... but they will get used to very soon, few will land frustrated, now parents have a big role to play in rightly motivating them.

Hey Don, great beginning. Beautifully thought of motivating yourself for kiddie stuff. You definitely will be poet laureate. Great things take hard work and lots of time. That's not called wasting but investing time. Keep writing.
In your blog you can have a kiddie page and include the nursery rhymes for children. In times to come your own grandchildren will read and will be proud of their gdad....great going.
Common.....the next rhyme.....don the poem generator.....hehehe
I liked your self motivating rhyme here. Good one.

I couldn't agree more. Though I'm young I often find myself thinking the same thing, maybe that is why I'm no longer allowed at the kids table.

Hello Greg,
I am well and truly back with fountain pen and hammered vellum to hand. Recent open heart surgery kept me from writing but did little to dim my imagination as I hope future poems will bear witness to.

Greg -all planning applications have a cut-off date for comments/objections. The ES item you refer to is merely 2 days old - and appeared after the notice I had of
this application - which dates back to 3rd Feb. 2020 (validated on 22/04/2020 - see.
Westminster Council online record). The
BBC Text Service also suddenly carried a report to coincide with this ES article.
Coincidence would be a fine thing!
In the space of a few days the number of
comments noted in the ES article has
rocketed from under 300 to nearly 1800
(as of now) and misgivings focus on why these reports were so tardy in appearing in the media when relating
to a prime central area of free-wheeling tourist London. I can't imagine it happening to "The Great White Way" in New York! Can anyone?

Hi Dominic
Congratulations on your latest award. Long time since our paths crossed; I think it was at an event at Oldham library. Well deserved here's to the treble.
Hope you and yours are keeping well, hopefully thing may get back to some sort of normality soon so we can all get out to some live shows.
Regards Paul Broadhurst

You are quite right Po, True poetry is done after reading volumes and volumes of poetry,
It is one of the reason why I first wrote only for myself for 4 years in private and read works of poetry from all over, until I found my works somewhat worthy of being read.
Thank you for your words, happy fishing! may your nets ever be full

a storm in a tea cup regarding the Wigan event - a few pissed up wasters shouting over poets - they were told where to go - the session was dropped and reopened for the last 2 readers to finish. No different than a heckler at a live show.
guess it can get out of hand if you try to take them on - but if you treat them like the scum that they are and ignore them - they will lose interest.

Thanks Kimberly and Cathy. The song is 'If' from Pink Floyd's album 'Atom Heart Mother' released in 1969 or 1970 and still much under-valued.

Echo Greg's feelings entirely. Nature can definitely help one feel happier and less stressed at bad times. A walk in a beautiful wood, or sitting in the sun in a garden make one feel considerably better.

Unfortunately too true, especially the 'sycophantic sob' part. Perhaps they are such difficult, stressing jobs, even without Covid that Brits don't want to do them any more? It takes ages to train as a doctor, for nursing not so long, but it is an extremely demanding job.

Yes I also have happy memories of the hair situation. I think the powers that be were pretty smart. We were so busy fighting a battle on that front that we never got around to doing anything reslly bad. I actually have another poem in which my battles on the hair front feature `i'll dig it out when I get as moment. Got to decide now whom I'm going to feature in my FB music post.

Your instincts for survival come shining through in this beautiful work.
You're confronting cancer head on and continuing to live as normal a life as possible without fear.
Your courage is admirable.
Continue to harness the warmth and glow of nature.
Keep the theraputic writing flowing.
Wishing you a successful battle against cancer.

Best wishes on your personal journey...in and out of the house.
I've just sent my sister a well reviewed book which focusses on the
importance of diet " How To Starve Your Cancer (Without Starving
Yourself)" by Jane McLelland. I certainly believe in the importance
of a carefully chosen selection of food - which is basically the fuel
that powers the body smoothly - or NOT!! It also seems logical that
self-help at home in between the medical therapy treatments can be
good for both body and spirit. After all, WHAT is the sense in giving
cancer cells the stuff they crave and be ignorant of what you;'re doing?

The same thing happened to my Grandad (who is no longer with us) when he was a young lad. The thought of it caused him to bring up his Guinness, and he was haunted by the incident for the rest of his life.
