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.

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

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.

#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

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.
