    “humming ‘Purple Haze'” great image. I can see and hear it now. Have no idea what Watney’s Mild is though.

    Steve, I believe since we still have a sort-of free speech it comes with a duty to shine light on conditions in these totalitarian hell holes. Thanks for the comment.

    Hauntingly poignant and horribly accurate in a poetic way, of the tragedy of ‘ care in the community’ It really affected me for all the Trevors and their female counterparts thrown on the scrapheap of a non caring society that has lost its way.

      Thanks, Alison, words fail me at times – the sheer inhumanity around…

      Rick.

    Superb.
    Well written and tells the saddest tale.
    I am going to move from the city back to nature. Back to what sustains the spirit instead of suffocating the soul.
    Happy
    New Year

      That’s a good plan, Alison. The Scottish highlands are stunning as is most of the Scottish countryside.

      All the best x

    YES!!! Don’t watch the bloody news, nor read the papers.
    Stay away from mind control and find inner peace.
    The world is going through a metamorphosis and we will be alright

    Apart from those who have lost themselves in the morass of the biggest psychological experiment on humanity of all time.

    Happy New Year to you.

    From stormwolf on Exhausted

    Yes, I think we are all suffering from some form of exhaustion at present.
    I am exhausted reading the latest propaganda spouted out to keep us all prisoners while the economy is dismantled and generational businesses are for ever destroyed. Crony capitalism reigns supreme as Amazon devours people’s futures and wellbeing.

    Anyway Daff
    The thing is that even in your exhaustion and frustration about lack of inspiration you can still make poetry out of anything.
    I take my hat off to you.

      Thanks Alison. yes, the propoganda is a pain. but I watch a bit of the news each day just to have an idea of what is going on. Mind you, over christmas there wasn’t amy news! and all those lorries in kent seem to have vanished. Very odd.

      Don’t get too despondent, Daffni. You have always produced work of high standard which has shown you are a talented writer and the fact that you have been able to write about ‘exhaustion’ proves that your font of imagination is not yet dry. 🙂

        Thanks Luigi. Must admit right now my imagination could do with a prod, I think.

    From stormwolf on A Rant

    Oooh! I LOVE a good rant! And this was a good rant.
    Living has ALWAYS been a risky business. Nobody gets out alive but nobody is going to tell me how to live my life.
    All this stay at home protect Granny is a load of codswallop.
    I would far rather kiss and cuddle my loved ones and if I get some virus and cop it. I will leave content.
    It’s the height of sadistic cruelty meted out by governments that only have their vested interests in mind.
    A pox on them all.

    Rant on Luigi. I am right behind you.
    Alison (mask detesting and non compliant sovereign being.)

      Hi Alison, I guessed that you may be of the same persuasion and pleased to hear you are right behind me.
      Tell me more about your kisses and cuddles…. 🙂
      Thanks for reading and commenting.

      Hi, Alison,
      Thanks for dropping by. I enjoy writing silliness (but it didn’t impress my science teacher).
      A couple more here – I don’t sub on the main site much.
      x Steve

      Patrick tried to milk a cow,
      By sucking on its teat,
      He coughed and spat for half an hour,
      But the bull sure had a treat.

      I had a friend, a lollipop,
      For six years he was frozen,
      “Many are cold,” I said to him,
      “But only few are chosen.”

    An excellent parody, Steve, Felicia herself would be proud of it. 🙂
    Best, Luigi.

    I hear some Christmas bells ringing the truth there, Luigi. Last four lines are particularly good.
