Hahahaha. Maybe they'll take pity and offer holidays to weary DSers John.
![]() Musty probably hasn't thought about poetry during his escape. ![]() Quote:
This seems to be a failed resuscitation. I'm a DNR myself - when it's my time I'll just go, though I'd prefer not to be there when it happens. (Not an original thought I know.) I can see where you're coming from, but no. I've been a bit of an emotional mess for a few days and them pesky aliens seem attracted by it. ![]() If I'm right, it's an interesting insight. ..........If I'm wrong, sorry.
![]() I don't know what to say about your DNR status, except we know nothing of each other's real situation. Hoping you can stay with us for a very long time yet.

I guess he meant to say he won't be back until Tuesday week then. How can anyone not think of poetry.

It was after I'd lost people close to me that I decided to make an Advance Decision, but that doesn't mean I'm in a hurry.I'm sorry to hear you've been having a bad time, though in your case it has been creatively productive, and displayed your sense of humour. Keep on keeping on.

I'm probably wrong, not being a poet myself, but it seems to me that inspiration and creativity often come from quiet times contemplating on experience.. Everyone is different of course.

I fully intend to. Understood, with great relief. I visualised a One (And Justice For All) situation. It was after I'd lost people close to me that I decided to make an Advance Decision, but that doesn't mean I'm in a hurry.

True, although in this vicarious world contemplating others' experiences can work well too. All very much too well sometimes.

![]() ![]() ![]() John, I forgot to say that I think Musty probably intended to be back on Tuesday, but he was enjoying himself so much, he didn't want to leave. I also think his "online/now real" friends probably galvanized him to speed up production of his next book. Maybe.

![]() ![]() Strange Charm. Where now then shall we go and what more shall we do? Now we know all that we know is the target askew? Seems we know what we are knowing, but we don't know where we're going and time keeps on flowing and the population's growing. Big science charts what seems, but does not know what it means to feel as ancient as all life, or the meaning of one's wife. How trivial it seems to live out one's dreams when the world is full of strife. Time to sharpen one's knife? How sad to live in fear of each other. That's weird. Time to make ammends, or at least make friends. [grr.. too may seems and means and not enough beans .]

![]() Strange Charm. [grr.. too many seems and means and not enough beans .] It's a quandary isn't it? I was watching the programme about the Incas, who seemed to have it all worked out........and then the Spaniards arrived!!!! And as for the British..........shocking!!!! Thinking about the enormous muddle fries the brain, and yet the world is full of fantastically clever and kind people..........what am I warbling on about? You've said it all in your poem. ![]() Hope the beans turn up soon - you never know you might win the Lottery. In the meantime, I think I saw a thread about an electric fence around Britain, so I'll go and see if it gives me any ideas.

I hope some of those people you mentioned can come up with some good answers. I could only give us the same report I always used to get from school: "Could do better." I've never bought a lottery ticket for myself. Have more than enough money already.

I loved the fudge poem Sandy I had a great time with Twass and Mrs Teapot, came back and was soon off to Avebury with my photographer. I think we'll have a good selection to illustrate the book, because he took over 900 That'll give me the push I need to finish transferring the poems from notebook to pc file.I haven't had a chance to read all the contributions yet, but I shall do and then comment on each one. As much as I've thoroughly enjoyed my travels, it's always nice to be back

I do buy a lottery ticket (in a little syndicate), but have often thought that winning millions would be more trouble than it's worth, Still not much danger there, and I can tell myself it's a way of contributing to charities and joys for other people.

Good to see you back Musty
Hope you had a lovely break and good that you've got so many photos to choose from, for the new book. I wondered if we'll get to see the author in any of them? ![]() Happy rhymes.

![]() In the end I decided not to appear - my presence in a photo was only to give scale next to a sixty-ton giant of a megalith It's near a road and we decided a passing car did the job better
