Blue moon
Too soon
Particles turn
Heart churns
We disagree
You and me.
Life in sand,
Understand.
I draw a line
Love is mined
For healing pain,
My love remains.
I glance at you.
Poignant view.
Eyes shine with hope
Will love cope?

Zero in Hull,please don't read this!
I’ve had zero page clicks today,
So I am hoping to keep it that way.
I’ll have to write something dull,
About our last trip to Hull.
We crossed on the old Humber Ferry.
The boatman was eager and merry.
Grimsby was covered in fog
Don’t put that bit in the blog
When we got over on the Hull side
The boatman was on the wrong bit of the tide.
So we had to go back to the South.
Across the Humber’s wide mouth.
The second time was alright.
The estuary was a fine sight.
I like being out on the sea.
The salt air is so good for me.
Now we have the mind shattering construction .
A bridge carries out the Ferry’s function
But I loved the old Boat, with cars all afloat,
Off to Hull in my thick winter coat.

FAULTY IMAGINATION
I think the idea here is about a simple truth.But it is something very hard to put into practice,for me anyway!
Original Sin Is A Silly Idea
Why do we project sin into babies?
Mr Fox
We have many foxes near us but they rarely come near the house.Sometimes we see footprints.
But this fox had an appeal in its gaze.
Forgotten fears
I remembered today when reading about Morecambe Bay how terrified I was as a child by the images of bogs,sinking sand and other natural dangers.But at some point this fear must have left me
We went on holiday quite a lot to that area of Cumbria whey I was a child.I remember reading accounts of travellers taking a shortcut across the bay[to avoid a long journey around the edge of it.Sometimes an entire coach and horses would be swallowed up.But we were not likely to do that journey.Yet those images often were in my mind,Also how to save yourself my lying flat on the sand to spread your weight.And how struggling would make the situation worse.A horrible way to die.
Is being swallowed up emotionally something children fear?Adults do seem large and powerful.I don’t think about it now on the whole

A NEWER WINTER LIMERICK
My doctor gives out bags of beets.
To stop us from sucking boiled sweets
He said all that sugar
Is a bacteria hugger,
Besides causing very large seats.
I once had a doctor called Laws
Who held a raw eggs in his jaws
He was unable to speak,
For then it would break
And make indelible marks on his clothes

Lyra's Loves
Lyra ‘s got a new psycho analyst,
She’s got her best pants in a twist.
He interprets all she says
In slick post Freudian ways.
So now poor Lyra’s gone dumb
She has regressed to sucking herthumb.
She has gained new insights
Into envy,jealousy and spite.
But no joy,love and delight?
Talking about these virtues might
Bring Lyra’s voice back,
Create a space for her Mac
She might write poetry about her life.
The analyst says she should be a wife.
But Lyra loveswith an Emperor
So no earthly man can tempt her
Away from Mark Antony’s desire
For her to reign with him over his Empire.
Well marrying an MP or a plumber
Does not have quite the same cachet.
So she is married in her dreams at night
When real men are well out of sight,
And Mark Anthony is by her side
While their sweet ship gently glides.
What a shock Lyra feels at seven,
When the alarm breaks up her heaven.
She goes to her artist’s atelier,
Plays some great Paul Tortelier,
And she paints her pictures, and dreams.
She devises more complex themes.
Till she sees her analyst at six,
To get her next unconscious fix
