As incomprehensible as it is to me that someone wouldn’t “like your songs” with all their heart, I suppose we are all different dishes on life’s buffet.

His picnic eyes were tortoise old

A land of back street washing lines

When word was bond and love was gold

Such evocative language. Your magical way with words.

Rice is really neat -- not the food (it's messy!) but your poem. Someone said that rice is the perfect food when you feel like eating thousands of something. Your poetry really flows.

I love the Old Man! The Living Dead Museum, oh how I feel I am in this! The way to you … I have been here. Fabulous x

Thanks. I am hoping once I’m done with menopause I can put all this love shit to bed. Become the wise crone who is just content with a cup of tea.😂😂

The Old Man is my favourite. An anachronism is this digital world. I sincerely hope he is oblivious to all the nonsense and leads a contented life. How lovely that would be.

WOW!, what a way to start a Saturday night. Beautiful poetry and RICE is one that I will return to and share with a link to this post. I have friends joining us for a dinner party in a wee bit & I'm eager to share these poems with a few folx who will be here within the hour who will dig the horizons you've created. Brava! Wishing you a lovely evening. Thanks, JD! ("Folx" and the x was intended to make your laugh and hope it did! Who doesn't love x as a plural?!)

I was emailing earlier with the legend that is the Poet Erin Belieu (another Beauty who serves a red lip!) and I’m eager to share your work with her. I’m a layman in thrall of what Poets & Writers can do; Playwrights and Filmmakers, too. Hail!

He put me in a good mood when I saw him. Very Enid Blyton!
