If this were 2040 I’d be 70 ….. so how does that grab you and your   grocery delivery slots?

I am over 70 and  am very variable.Can I book a delivery or a funeral?

I am 69.9999999
Must I wait infinitely  long for any delivery.I’m an asymptote.I never reach the end.Unless I die of starvation and fall off the curve

Ny husband says pi is a real number.I say it’s a meal.Can you deliver either of these?

I am 69 and 3/4.Can I round that up to  the nearest whole number?  You’ve never heard of whole numbers? Just guess.No it’s not holy.

I should  be 70 but I  was overdue and stayed in the womb 3 weeks extra.Now I might suffer starvation which seems cruel.I can’t get back in to the womb.Tell the manager.

I am 91 and highll y visible.Please give me a slot. Do I pay after tasting?

I am very frail and can no longer ride my bike.Shall I die or will you send my  order
Or both?

I will survive if and only if you anwer the phone.Yes ,I am a mathematician but I can’t live on numbers alone.Send some protein I beg you.

I  just stumbled upon this site.May I book a slot? No.not for letters I want some food
I can’t see any other answer to my prayers.God says he’s never seen me before.

I’ve had to live on pizza for 2 weeks.I shall be 70 tomorrow.Any chance of  a delivery?
I was born at 12.02  April 3rd am 1 in 950 weighing 3lb 6 oz.I was premature.I still am.Any chance of ordering some baby food for delivery?
Don’t make me die hungry.

Sometimes we don’t like our thoughts.
They tell us we are no good, ugly or a failure
I believe that we can get CBT  as therapy. here in Britain
This makes us challenge the thoughts we hate
Now since Freud is dead I’ll tell you my idea.
Stop hating your thoughts  but  don’t love them either.
Let them flow along  like a stream of clear water.
There, that didn’t cost you anything.Your therapy is over Continue reading “Therapy is over” →

St Margarets Bay, the  cliff top the wild flowers,
We lay in warm soft sunlight, lighthouse tower,
The clifftop where we lay has   come to grief
Don’t blame us, we  kissed  on Hampstead Heath

The ground is shifting underneath our feet\
This  curious government deserves defeat
They tried to make a human sacrifice
What, turn the telly off  or it may spie?

Then I saw the dress I wore at sea
They took us off  the cliffs to give us tea
The lifeboat men  had saved us from the drop
The sea was greeny blue, at least on top

They took us into Folkestone for some beer
I prefer  green tea, I am sincere
Actually I told another lie
I’ll drink Earl Grey tea  until I die

After that my memory grows dim
I fear my entire life is one long sin

EXTRACT

Emotion. One of the traps of poetry is the temptation to write around an emotion, rather than to fully immerse yourself in and write with and through that emotion. Don’t be afraid of feeling! Without a doubt, this can be one of the most fulfilling aspects of the art. Emotion is the currency of poetry. Show me the money! Take a class. Continue to learn about poetry. Look for a university extension class being taught by a local poet, or a night school class, or a workshop at your city’s writer’s collective, or even on-line correspondence course. If nothing else, at least read a book about the art and craft of poetry. I recommend Poemcrazy by Susan G. Wooldrige. It’s fun, easy to read, and has lots of great exercises. I’ve had great success with it.
