I berate myself that the last week or so I couldn’t come up with anything more upbeat but I have to write with mood and i do write upbeat stuff sometimes so don’t feel too bad that I just put downer stuff out there. When I feel very happy I celebrate that too.
I can write articles but my brain doesn’t seem to be wired for writing poetry. Those two poems just resonated with me. Writing with the mood is the only way I can do it too. I love to be happy and embrace it when it arrives. Although the last 3 years of coercion and removal of our freedom has made it harder. Tomorrow night I am going to see Andrew Lawrence in London. These joyful interludes keep my spirits up.
Bless your aching heart. The language and imagery of Bluebeard is amazing.
Thank you
Particularly like Bluebeard Julie 💙🙏
Hope you're well and ok... not been reading much of others of late... I apologise 🙏
I only want people here who want to be here Robert, always. God I sound like one of *those* teachers 😂😂😂
No apologies necessary, mate. Keep going with your stuff too, hey? :)
Writing poetry is something I have never mastered. “One More Step” and “The Wind” are so good, they could have been written about me!
I suppose I’m of the ‘Confessional’ tradition.
I don’t know if I’ve ‘mastered’ it, does anyone?

If you ever start publishing on here, please let me know so I can have a read.
Yes the last 3 years has affected everyone, absolutely. Messed with relationships, friendships, things we took as ‘givens’, all sorts.
Enjoy yourself tonight xx
We do keep going.
Indeed xx
