Dying

2024-05-09
Larry you have a enigmatic way of looking at life,
Which is always entertaining to read.
So carry on with your descriptive way of writing
till the end, as for me I have only one fear in life,
That is to die, only then to find out all my life
I've been living in heaven....
May you live a long life. regards Alan.

They found some honey,
Next to some Egyptian mummy's
Still edible after all those years.
( The honey not the mummy's ).
They gather the honey in their crop.

Okay; I'll Take Discontent Over Deprivation

2024-05-02
It must have been a harrowing experience,
To drive through the destruction of so many houses.
Not knowing if you're home was still standing.
Pleased you didn't get caught in it Larry.

More than watching tv.

Writer's of the past will never be forgotten about

anarchy and the use of time

2024-04-23
We British would just nod our head's,
We've heard the jokes before.
Our government holds the cards,
While they want us all to convert to metric.
The approach to all our roundabouts,
Are non metric but feet and yards.
Regards Alan

ONE DAY TIME WILL END

2024-04-19
Hi Allen. Only in the sense that time itself
Will appear to stop for us, or does it?
Who invented time anyway?
Does he still hold the patent.
Or like time itself has it run out.
Regards Alan

SEEING THE WORD EXCLUDED BESIDE MY WORKS

2024-03-21
Hi ken I myself have the word excluded on one of my drafts
It's not rude or crude excluded came up in favourites
Out of the blue, How can it be excluded? And dare we ask
Excluded from what! Better be careful not to be,
Antagonist I wouldn't want to be excluded too....

It's amazing how little mishaps
(think she was a girlfriend of mine).

To write such a fine rhythm.

Your body is electric

2024-02-11
All sorts of thoughts rang through my head
As I read the title, The poem did the same.
Do electric sheep have electric dreams
A si fi book by P. K Dick nothing to do with poetry...
It's strange how a few words can invoke ones thought process.
The title alone acts like a muse inviting me in. The poem does the same.
Regards Alan

Hi penfold18
Just came across this lovely poem.

My type of poetry.


MINDS LEFT TO BE UNDER DEVELOPED

2024-02-03
Our old town library is kept going, Only because of the locals.
Our Eastbourne library has a underground,
Theatre They advertised for a poet's evening.
Where you could go and share your poetry,
When I arrived I noticed it was for female poet's only.
For library's to stay open people need to use them,
Government needs to step in to help libraries diversify.
Thanks for posting ken. Regards Alan.

A Song Sung Blue

2024-01-28
Hi Kathy I've never thought of myself as a
Neil Diamond fan. As I read your poem
His music came alive in me.
He was and is one of the greats.
Luckily we can still enjoy his music.
Thanks for posting. Regards Alan
