This is a lovely thread to read.
![]() Not much of a poet myself don't really like to reveal much of my feelings on a public forum. Very English stiff upper-lip I know!

![]() Not much of a poet myself don't really like to reveal much of my feelings on a public forum. Very English stiff upper-lip I know! ![]() This thread has been like an oasis to me, at times when I've been arguing the toss elsewhere. It's mostly calm and peaceful here - and then someone drops in a gem... Meanwhile: CPU. Cherry Pickers United choose what they like. Love unrequited? Choose a fast bike and ride like death is on your tail. Take deep breath. Thou shall prevail. No rhyme or reason? Much indecision? Talking of treason without precision? File for divorce and anchors away. Buy a white horse and never say neigh. Eggs in one basket? Certainty fixed? All that you ask it comes back mixed with terms and conditions, reasons why not and refused permissions. Not your plot. Well there you go and here I am. Drowning in a sea of spam. While all the while whispers away. See you all again someday. |

Your threads are much appreciated too. Some said you got a permaban recently. I was sad.

Be Prepared !
I read about the Earth flipping over on its axis I wondered if we’d all fall off Hope the folks on the bottom don’t drop. Maybe what we need is a practice twizzle So when the flipping starts We’re ready for the flop I saw a film about an ice-age cometh I wondered if we’d all turn to blocks Maybe what we need is to all stop shaving So when the freezing starts We’re as ready as an arctic fox. Don’t watch Alien Invasion 2 We’re knackered if that happens. |

Bong Voyage.
As blind as a bat and as cuckoo as clocks. Laid out flat in my best socks. Contemplating how I've been overstating what I mean. As white as a sheet on a sunny day. Afraid of the heat coming my way. Hypnotic tock hyper mind. The aftershock that's so unkind. The empty lifeless gulf between serenity and one more dream is over and before you know much slower than the slowest slow much brighter than the brightest light. Congratulations! You were right in spite of all their tempting trips. Delightfully your flop flips and roses grow where there were none. You're nowhere and your day is done. |

Archiver tells me that tomorrow there is joy.
I hope he's on the button. It's not that I actually know this boy, But, from what I read he is a good 'un. Belly button made me laugh out loud with her poem about films I've seen. I couldn't pick her out of a crowd Yet her writings make me beam. I think Mr Mustard is the one who started this thread long ago. And for quite some years it's continued on He is someone I'd like to know. I'm sure there are hundreds of others here Who's names have not yet stuck with me. I will read them all, have no fear, But I will always remember these three. |

You'd be amazed at how cathartic it can be to just get stuff written down .... ( assuming there are emotions you need to rid yourself of ) .... so let the lip slip once in a while
![]() Gerrit writ! ![]() ![]() I will think about having ago when I have more time.

That's always best served cold. Damn braces, Relax blesses Roughly translated - damnation tenses you up and mellowing out soothes the soul. He knew a thing or too that bloke

Just for a moment time stood still
we were lost in each others stare. It sounds like that 'love at first sight' moment. I could almost picture the scene with the musician playing

Glastonbury Tor
Somerset, A bell is tolling, Summer's set The pilgrim's rolling. Up the line Of good St Michael, Start to climb The ancient cycle. On the way Absorb the glories, Green and high The pagan Tor is. From the top The view is splendid; Angels with King Arthur blended. Drink and laugh And all make merry On the hill Of Glastonbury. © |
