Dear Keith
I don't many pieces by Rachmaninoff but understand that they are quite difficult to play. A lot of Beethovens music is difficult too, but if you wanted Beethoven then I would suggest the Fur Elise, which short and pleasant to play.
However, I would generally recommend Mozart as most of his works are easier to play, such his Sonata in C , also known as his easy sonata. There are many other pieces by Mozart which are very nice and yet not too demanding.

If you need any more help or advice then let me know and I shall try to get back to you.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards from Stuart

A hospital gown
it does appear
can expose a lot
and look quite queer
some will laugh
some brought to tears
gown turned around
shows front not rear!

Keith,
you are very well spoken, a soothing nature about your words that I find, well, soothing. your insight is impressive, I look forward to reading all of your work. I like the comment, poetry is open to interpretation, mine sure is, I have many to share, and write more weekly. I very rarely "write" for correspondence but am interested enough to try. I believe in surrounding myself with the right people, and feel that knowing you will be very good for me. therapeutic actually. I thrive on captivating writing. and have found write out loud to have many talented poets to follow. loving it so far. to be continued.

good to hear from you.
that poem was a bit tongue in cheek
but the point is
we are raising a generation of kids
who know nothing except social media.

As sure as the sun will rise

old man can at that point
just call it quits!

The following is a comment to Keith Jeffries:

That poem was just a joke.
I am not opposed to beards in real life.
I wish I could grow one.
and men who have them are not really lazy
because it's more work trimming a beard
then it is just being clean shaven.
If you have a beard, more power to you!
Just keep the birds out of it.
You will do fine!

Hi Keith, thanks for the message. All my favourite poets are incredibly reflective and able to put those memories and feelings (however vague) into affecting verse. Your bear poem actually got me thinking and directly inspired my piece ‘Tourist Trap’. Yes, the fountain pens are still flowing, despite my fancy new Mont Blanc I do keep flitting back to the more scalpel-like older one I have with a really fine nib. Carving the paper in half as much as writing, there’s something extra satisfying about that. Hope you’re well and great to read your recent posts. Cheers, Tom

Thanks Keith, I'm glad you liked the poem. When I wrote it, I of course had no idea what we'd be going through a year later, though I think there's a sense of anxiety in the poem which hints at hard times approaching. Inadvertently prophetic, perhaps.

I always look forward to your comments

You have somehow got the idea that these offerings
are real poems.
With some remedial therapy,
you should snap out of it
and get back to living
a normal life.

They do.
but a few die-hards like me, still get the morning newspaper.
I would hate to see them go away completely.
Wouldn't we miss the paper
as much as the morning cup of coffee?
