This is totally different for you, D. Nice one.

[dafydd manton]

Thank, 'ee, M. Always appreciate your comments.

There is something unnerving about this - a picture of a life where endless routine revolves around the state of sleep or wakefulness, but not much more..... an institutionalised existence perhaps where even conversations are reduced to single words. Daf at his deepest.

Ooh 'eck! Me? Institutionalised? I suppose, thinking back, I was for the first 33 years of my life! What on earth would Freud make of it? Thanks ever so much for the comment, Hill - much appreciated!

'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, what's going on 'ere then? Move along now...

Reads like a list to remind someone with no memory what they need to do, every day. Quite disturbing this one Dafydd.

Best, H

I'm moderately pleased with it, I have to say!! Thanks for the compliment.

By the way, that actually is me, dressed as Victorian Rozzer for a preserved railway when we ran ancient trains - everything pre-1910. The moustache, however........

Hi Daffy
have just noticed we have both mentioned Freud today :) Your picture makes me think of family hour and the laughing policeman.
Loved the first four words of your poem particularly as it is a bloody annoying occurrence each morning
cheers mate

"Something unnerving," as Hillwalker said. Reading down these short lines produced a feeling of near panic in me.

Thanks, everyone. I hope I sleep better tonight!

One could say LIFE... though were I to muddle up things here I would add my 2cents:

Awake and smile.
Early love.
Mind Racing
then Quiet...
Thinking deep.
Foolish certainties.
Tired days.
Sleep renewing.
Dozing to the touch of bliss.
Awake happy.
Dark Mind Racing away.
Thinking deeper.
Foolish certainties fleet.
Tired, but satisfied,
Drown in smile.......

but I won't, heaven forbid. :brow: Bar

I have to say I like that, Bar. Somewhat less cynical than mine, but then, I'm reaching ever outward for Grumpy Old Man-dom! Thanks for that.
