Comment is about Silent Light (blog)

This creative conjuring-up of what can be seen around towns and
cities everywhere has me thinking of my own observations of
birds - usually the much maligned (undeservedly so) pigeons
whose brushes with the machines of man-made modernity have
often left them injured/disabled. One with what seemed to be a
broken wing (probably the result of a collision with a vehicle) was
seen trying to take refuge at the rear of a pavement on a busy city street. I was moved to call the local RSPCA number and hope it
was a solution. The bird wasn't around the next time I passed by,
but the reason(s) remain unknown. Moral: all living creatures need
a helping hand sometimes and, unlike many if not all of other forms
of life, humanity has the ability and the emotional response to offer
assistance in time of need.

when questioned by reporters as to how far they had got with their toilet stealing investigations, the police spokesman said they had nothing to go on....
which would have left Winston in the shit, literally! ?

nice piece Lisa referring to the old saying ' absence makes the heart grow fonder' and I'm sure most of us who have been parted from those we have loved and left behind for whatever petty reasons come to find how very true that saying is.
Can't we be bloody fools to ourselves at times!

Very true Cynthia, our whole culture is overtly sexualised. Don't get me wrong, I am most definitely no prude, but the words, "Age appropriate," seem to escape some people. Good point well made.

To be honest, it's a life I wish I could afford to live, but especially with poetry, there seems to be no money in it, it's a labour of love, and sadly that doesn't put food on the table. Love the poem.

Hi Chrystel! Thanks for stopping by at my profile! "Three Litle Words", though the theme is generally overworn you didn't fall into a cliche, you kept it short and actually made a point! I enjoy your work! Kudos!?

I think that I was expressing my opinion (re your verse) in a less than precise manner. I was trying to give you a genuine glimpse that I sometimes have of the difficulty I can encounter in making sense of the written word in its grammatical context. Several more attempts made it clear. Tommy ???

Lisa,
Yorkshire is a county in the north of England which has a pronounced accent and the people there a very good brand of humour. Kevin´s poems and the lanuage he uses epitomise this accent.
