A lovely snapshot of bygone days, Greg. We try all sorts of things. I remember writing a short story which consisted entirely of single words punctuated by full stops. At least the publisher sent it back!

The older I get I am moved to analyze my earlier days and whether I made good decisions or not. Would I have liked myself looking back etc.
These sort of poems give more away than we realize and are fascinating as a result.
Good work old friend

Thanks for your comments, Olivia, Graham, and Steve. Ah yes, the succession of novels - well, three in total - and standard rejection slips! And yes, Graham, I think a lot of my poems are like that. Posted here to mark 10 years since David Bowie left us, this reminiscence was published in a fab annual magazine, Poetry and All That Jazz, produced by Barry Smith and South Downs Poetry Festival, a year or two ago. Thanks for the Likes, Red Brick, Tom, Aisha, K Lynn, Manish, David, and Bill.
