I shall start catching up on the thread today ![]() How lovely to see you back Mr Mustard. ![]() I can tell that you are a true lover of poetry and you obviously take a lot of time out to read and inwardly digest all that's written here. I'm guessing it's sort of like .... your baby .... type thing ![]() And by the way .... I adore your stuff. I WILL be buying your book

Here is my first attempt - total rubbish but at least I had a go.
![]() White shark. Eyes of obsidian black. Power and merciless serenity of a God. Ruler over oceans of time. In danger from a sapient pygmy. |

That's very powerful Keyser. I think you are in a good place to right about the animal world. I don't think there has been a dinosaur poem in this thread

Thanks, I am not at my best at the moment but when I feel a bit better will think of doing one.
I think writing poetry seems to help some people when they feel a bit lost with the world. Maybe you could give it a try. Feel better soon

The Tor without a scene...
At times the Tor seems sometimes flat And no matter where you are at No matter how hard it is for you Let the scene come shining through. |

Poetry is sometimes the BEST medicine.
I felt quite rough When my life got tough. But I got through and now I'm tickety boo. At my very worst I knocked out a verse. I wrote another one and then continued on. It's better than moping, and a great way of coping with stuff that knocks us flat. Enough already of THAT! |

Past Ten'ts.
Oh purple tin of amber nectar gurgle deep within conjecture numb my gums and slither down soon the biggest clown in town. Big T frosty from the fridge Refreshing as a new religion based on what is truly known and what in fact can be shown. The squelch of the ring pull half a litre hand full shhhhhh as the frothiness prepares to make me a mess. First taster instant thrill tastier than any pill soon followed by another and another and its brother. But, alas and alack here I sit on my jack without a drop to my name which really is quite a shame. Considering it's been so long. Considering, but still strong. |

I, for one, would label this a very excellent thread.
So there you go, I rest my case, poetry is far from dead! I'm glad you like it here Ruth and I'm always happy when the place is busy! Others must agree with you, going by the amount of views we get
