You've put your reply to me on Two Hours inside the quote Biz, a mistake I've often made myself

Thanks - I've edited it. I often do that, that why I always check, but the fact that it hadn't appeared threw me.
![]() I'm working on a poem about dancing Biz, but it's slow going as the Avebury ones are still coming thick and fast

Ooer, it's gone very quiet - I'm out tonight so I won't be able to contribute until tomorrow. I wonder if I'll bump into Rodney's wife and Miranda in a nice pub tonight?

I'd advise taking a good friend with you Musty, who isn't half mad.

One swan on the pond this morn Where the willows root Floated in a sun reborn Wearing its white suit. © |

I, Banana
I never shall grow straighter, It's certain that I'll tend To curve both now and later For I banana, bend. While apples go with Eden And patients munch on grapes I'm sold from Maine to Sweden And also feed the apes. I keep emotions guarded, A fruit without a pip, My coat if once discarded Is that on which you slip. My fave song's Mellow Yellow, I like pop, yes I do By that Donovan fellow, Bananarama too. Placed on an album cover, It shocked me when I found The band was like no other, The Velvet Underground! I suddenly felt trendy Through Andy Warhol's whim, No longer bland and bendy, An icon thanks to him. But being no head tripper I made sure life stayed real, My coat's still got a zipper For anyone to peel. I'll never match James Garner Or Brad Pitt being chased, What pleases I, banana Is how you love my taste. © |

Beautiful.
![]() I think you're a beautiful person. I've had a few too many tonight, but don't worry, I didn't meet Miranda I'm always falling in love though, how embarrassing I'm such a fool, but the poetry will go on regardless. It's half past one and the first I've ever been drunk on the thtread, how sad.I know I'm going to regret this post in the morning but none of us are perfect. Maybe a year of major stress and health issues does that to you. George Best forever, goodnight Biz, my dear friend xxx

'Morning Musty. Hope it is a good one and the hangover isn't too agonizing. We're all allowed a little self-indulgence from time to time.
![]() Being in love is a good thing, I just hope she reciprocates.

![]() Being in love is a good thing, I just hope she reciprocates. ![]() My apologies to you and the thread Biz. I was pretty sozzled, which is very rare for me these days I also left two jacket potatoes in the oven all night from one o'clock till dawn. They came out slightly overdone The thread won't suffer my drunken ramblings again, I'll make sure of that. I have a couple of poems in the works outside of the Avebury book candidates and hopefully I'll post one of them later on There is no 'she' Biz; generally falling in love recurs constantly without results for me - which at least makes a good source of poetry ![]() By the way, here's the Velvet Underground Andy Warhol album cover from I, Banana ![]() http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vel...round_%26_Nico |

![]() The poem I was going to post was written down, but at the moment I can't find it among my notes. Drat, though I can remember certain sections, if I don't find the piece of paper it'll have to be a complete rewrite.

It'll turn up when you're not looking for it. I think today you just need to rest and recuperate.

On the next page we'll get back to poetry ![]() ![]() Here's one for the next page ![]() Poetry are words that flow words that grow words that sow like flowers on a page that turn to and fro forwards then back to a beguine a rhythmical tune a melodic harmony of words that glow of words that know of words that so Poetry are

words that flow What a great rhythm, it really enforces the points about poetry. 'Of words that glow, of words that know' pretty much sums it up for me Thanks Sandy, we were getting a bit low on material thanks to my night out

'A walk around a garden should prove to be an exciting journey.'
