You've given me a beautiful way to start my day JJulian, how wonderful of you to say that. I must save it somewhere, sure it ranks in my best ever compliments 'list'!
Thank you so very much

Hard to say. The guy must know why Twitter worked so well in the years B.M.

I think BSky needs some better algorithms - has it got any at all? And #s. Just observing.
Also there are less πΊπ¦ writers here + easier to turn away, for nothing much comes up on at least my feed, and who is going to search me out?
How am I going to search others out? I try but

Hi Rory
Yes, I see some writing engagement but little re Ukraine. I mentioned this didn't I right away...but in six weeks or so it hasn't got any better ... Even with more terrible things happening in πΊπ¦
I don't think I can write more directly than this poem, but it's not going to get noticed.

Bloodlust running
Tyrant gunning
Killing civilians daily
What in hell are we doing
Distracted by wooing
Aid is not strained in the giving
So gather our forces
Review resources
Give greater help to our brothers
They're in need
Act at speed
+ Finally #recover our honour.
#vss365
Oh #cosy life
No strife
Log fire
Look no wire
Cream n coffee
Choc n toffee
No nasty bug
In snuggly rug
Hiding
Compare
If you dare
A nation under fire
Where life is dire
For brave hearts
Fighting to be part
Of the world of the free
Like you + me
Abiding
My pact
Is a fact-
I stand with them.
Hi JJulian! Glad you got a code and good to see you here!
Thank you for your words, much appreciated, in fact I value them most highly given your profession.
I'm sorry if I didn't respond to your comment - I usually always try to acknowledge in some way or other, will look back. ππΊπ¦π

There's no guarantee
That #wisdom
Will come to us
With age,
Can you even
Quantify it
On the page?
Can wise words
Help fools
When hate
Makes them drool?
Can our best sage
Help turn
The page
On genocide?
Can the wise
Take power
In corridor
And bower?
#vss365
You want horror?
Blood
Gore
#Skulls
More?
Gotcha.
But no need to make it up
All that + more besides
Resides
Where RF seeks
To kill
Ukraine
Wanna feel afraid?
Try their shoes
And choose
To help or not
To mock or not
Muskrat
For
Your cosy free
World
May yet unfurl +
Fear
Will be here.
Love
Just love
Not lust
Not passion
Not possession
Or obsession
Not horror
Not sorrow
Not strife
Or life
Not riches
Not pitches
Not gain
Or pain
Only love
Just love
Is #endless

Hi Rory, it seems I've missed your August Rush! Must try to catch it somewhere somewhen...
Btw your friend didn't get in touch from twitter ? I still have the code...did you get my previous reply?

I think it's about 2 weeks since I joined? Not much more anyhow...

In #candlelight glow
The world seems softer
More peaceful
Balanced
Fair
Imagine there
The tyrant,
Imprisoned
His murdering violence
And consuming
Hatred
Catalogued
For the world
With
No way out,
Just imagine it
As you bask
In the glow
Of candlelight.

Slippery ledge,
Forces would pull her
Into the #chasm
Cold sweat of fear
Evil draws near,
Her weapon is faith
It's shining
Warning sounds
Heart pounds,
She sees them now
Her saviours
So she'll stand and fight
As old lady might,
Finding the tough
Inside her.
