A car slams into my bike
Splintering bone
Shattering glass
I snap clavicles of jokes;
You know, the rib cracking kind
'Oh, I'm so glad you ran into me'

I agree. I like the shift between going back and leaving behind. Very well done and left me pleasantly dizzy.
Thanks Tailor. Yes it seems we really are the Lucky Country but you never know with this virus.
I am hip
When I'm out and about
Knitting laughing vests of doubt
Mugs of topics spill across
the grime bars
playing far off in my mind
then get waved away
like one sunny day
to the present...
Feels Old School somehow but I like it!
Tell me which came first
The act or the lifelong shame
Oops there goes Mum again
At sweet16
Her lips were sewn shut
Her voice was emotionally cut
Please Mummy
I want to know his name.
It's...
Everything with a pinch of salt
On a positive note we'll never return to how we were before. Working families are already discovering there really is flexibility in juggling family life, work and education. We just need a...
Not for the first time Rebecca adjusted the glasses on her nose and wondered about butterflies. They were certainly beautiful she thought and she liked the endless designs, patterns and colours they...
What about A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel DeFoe? I stumbled across this copy when I was decluttering and shredding.
Beautiful and proud. Thankyou.
I like this and it definitely has a musical quality to it.
The Ministry of Lost Feet. I needed that. Thanks Wolf. Keep Well x
Lovely. I will tread softly when it comes to fulfilling my goals and dreams lest I get burnt!
Capricious nature perhaps. Your avatar and poem reminded me of my cat who has lately lost his meow and seems almost miffed by it.

You're as perceptive as ever Hawk. Thank you for your review.
No more sevens
To miss a go
When I can’t pick up
No more wild cards
To change the suit
When I can't put down
No more aces
To keep playing
Thank you all x
Magenta, yellow and a smidgen
of blue
Blobbed out or squirted
you slip 'n roll onto your back
and stare at the swirling
corners of the sky
while I sparkle,
flashing and smeared

Seems no matter who we are, we all get a seaside memory. You're a profound poet Jerry
That's true.
The old man is dying
Pre-paid funeral on a pre-paid life
Now I’m sifting through a shoebox of photos
Marked Just Do It.
The resentments are like moths now
They used to race around the track

Thanks. I wrote this from a childhood memory
Haste ye back
Sitting old fat cow
In a field.
Wild cotton hair
Bumble bee jumpers
Gorse bush beards
Snorting wooly pigs
Babbling brooks
Sleepy velvet green
Stone circles
