I love it. A lesson for us all. Thanks for sharing.

I live in a home library where I retell the stories of its loneliness - my partner says what I write does not rhyme. No joke.

Yummy.

very cool - 1 / 2 / 3.

It's not 'cool for cats'. Not by the look of the yowling that appears to be going on.

I think my MS is 'go thunderbirds'! Later tonight local time a submission package; cover letter in the body of an email / attached documentation / press enter. 🤞

Idea of the day.

Show me there is no progress - and ground is not being taken. I am extremely anxious for everyone in the US especially the intelligent. That man and his close associates are unbalanced and incredibly dangerous. I wake each morning expecting worse news. Small steps need a kick arse boot attached.

Very commanding [both poems]. I have not been closer than the Esplanade at Moana where my coughing begins, recommending I retreat with my lungs still intact.

'fine' - huge fan always.

#PoemsAbout #NeverAgain

thank you to those whose poems said so much to my reading needs for #NeverAgain and also for sharing to and fro my own contribution. My footy team lost but I feel such a winner after Friday. G

Didn't even need to sing. Hit my notes.

I've only known that for 75 years although I have male friends who cannot keep a straight face.

Absolute cracker. One of my all time favourite 'tunes'. I lived through the sixties pop madness and Chrissy conquered me with this.

Muchly. Thank you.

Extraordinarily strong bones. It's a goer in my mind.

"I wanna" origin 60s pop classics. Tell me you knew that.

Thing is, less and less strikes up the band.

Hadn't picked up my repeat of desire. Bugger.

Nice!! Hadn't really thought of the coincidence but yeah. My eyes were on the dropped ball of our increasing climate crisis.

Writer of poetry. To walk as a warrior, embracing grace, into the storms of darkness to breathe out light. Weaving the evil threads life hurls with the threads of wonder. Beauty is cultivated in darkness.

I enjoy writing and have decided to embark on an experiment by starting a Bluesky account to share my texts. Occasionally, I use images from my other account: @endeavour07.bsky.social. Texts and pictures are mine (except for reposts). 📍 Northern Germany
