Arnside bot.
Silvered male.
Change at Ox -in -home for Hinder here
Can he stun old man?
Shall we rave?
Striding Ledge.
Abiding grudge.
Beatrix Hotter.
Cross by terror
The river can’t.
Watercolour depressions of the meres.
A nymph a night keeps the cat awake
The river loon frightened everybody
Brambles glide.
The bonus gerry
Beard tricks stutter
Serpentwater
Lake of margarine.
Tests wait.
Grange-over-Trans.
Arnside shot.
Near Colwyn bay there was a zoo
They had a vultures quite a few
They kept them chains to rocks all day
To see these birds we had to pay
Can we grieve before our loved ones die.
Retaining for them little but a sigh.
We want to get it over with and done
A bit like dying before the life has come
Relaxationq is a mini death
So in linen garments we should dress
With our ceaseless striving we wear out
So intense activity we doubt
Do not stop your breath to gain your goal
Like the ocean waves breath wants to roll

Her friend suggested biking as a reprieve. Not previously athletic, she took to the riding with enthusiasm, finding it “soothed my mind,” she said.
That discovery convinced her to change the focus of her research. Now the director of the NeuroFit Lab at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, she studies the interplay of physical and emotional health and how exercise helps stave off or treat depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health conditions.
“The effects of motion on the mind are just so pervasive and fascinating,” said

A mini Auschwitz in a smaller space
Grenfell Tower a very human place
Human sacrifice divine debased
A fearsome sight,a giant with no face.
I felt the sun’s heat on the wheelie bins
The plastic lids and handles stung my hand
The rumbling wheels made their own ugly din
I bumped my leg and nearly burned my shin
This work is more familiar to a man
I felt the sun’s heat on the wheelie bins
They spoil my garden and ignite my pen
I wish the PM would issue a new ban
The rumbling wheels made their own ugly din
Can human sacrifice expunge our sins?
Grenfell Tower, a Death Camp I see so.
I felt the sun’s heat on the vicious bin.
Men in power fought red tape, grumbling, grim.
The sacrificial victims died by fire or blow
The voices of democracy grew dim
A neighbour said ……. illegals, eeh by gum,
So as they burned, no one will ever know
I smelled the smoke of Auschwitz rippling in.
Where thou goest, I will also go
The Christian world sure writes a damning show
My heart cracked and I fell into the bin
They grumbling made their own darned ugly din
The high force of the of Tees is cruel
The water earth still fight a duel.
The looming rocks and cliffs severe
Fill my heart with violent fear.
Cross Fell so dark so huge so wild
Unfit for sheep and beasts so mild
As we drove South our Northern hearts
Like the river plunged in doubt
The savage Pennines called us back.
In the rocks there is a crack
And through this crack the scent and feel
Recall to us the place that heals
Not all the world is mild and small
Hear the mountains as they call.
“Cardone recommends staying well hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding overexertion. After being sick, listen to your body, rest when you need it, and ease your way back into your normal workout routine, he says. It may take a few weeks for you to get back to your usual intensity and duration, so be patient.” https://nyulangone.org/news/when-its-safe-exercise-after-getting-sick#:~:text=Cardone%20recommends%20staying%20well%20hydrated,and%20duration%2C%20so%20be%20patient.
I know that’s how death will come,
Suddenly flying into another orbit when I am photographing flowers
It’s not a gentle transition.
No-one will know where I’ve gone.
One step wrong and I’m off the high wire
And plunging into the no safety net.
Flying for a while
Jumping into hyperspace,spinning electrons
Startle my wide eyes.
Transiting the new black sun
I’m on a double gold helix,
Spider on her web,
Knitting furiously
Into the future heaven on gossamer wings.
Butterfly goodbye,
I’m off to see the stars.
And the black holes.
No one will come with me.
I’m shaking off,evaporating into mist.
I’m a flying saucer on a circus mission.
I can’t say no to a new invitation.
Make it fast and break with tradition.
Time is passing smoothly till that break In the music,
I’ve been transmuted into a different key
someone else will play me on their violin
I’m a tune, I’m a thought, I’m a whisper in your vision.
Goodbye,darling.
I’m under orders Ready to leave for my performance
On the electric carpet.
Death dancing to a tune on a violoncello,
Arpeggionne sonata
I’m playing your words upside down
In a new foreign translation,
Accompanied by solo artists,ice cracking
I’m going in.
It’s too sudden.
I’m flying.
Spinning faster to amuse the clowns,
too many ups and no downs.
I’m going right out of orbit
I’ve broken the pull of gravity,
And fly with pure equanimity
Into my future life,
I’m off at some moment
An instant,a crack,a loud smack
That was me passing

Among the many reasons poets choose to write formal poetry in the 21st century is an intuitive distaste for the imitative fallacy. To write about chaos, one need not write chaotically. It’s only a minor paradox to say that discipline and constraint unlock freedom. Steele goes on to say that form-minded poets are assumed to believe that “the universe is a nice, neat, orderly place.” On the contrary, he says:
I suspect that most people who write in forms feel that the obvious disorder and chaos of the world afflict us intensely, coming

Envious feelings damage our own heart
Do not feed the soil in which they grow
Peace and love and beauty will depart
Do not put the horse behind the cart
Do not turn a friend into a foe
Envious feelings damage our own hearts
For peace and love and beauty will depart
Like the snail it’s better to be low
Do not be a vulture be a larka
Little buds of sin grow into sharks
Do not injure others with your blows
unless you are a dog you should not bark
when we enjoy others let’s be glad
there is no need to act when you are sad
comparing and contrasting ruined our hearts

health club, we are graced with a dentist and a lawyer. You do not have to be a doctor or lawyer or prime minister to be creative, but you can be one of them and still have mental illness.
There is one possibility where those of us with mental illness can create. By working on ourselves to establish a personality so strong, we can go out in the mainstream of our communities and get a job. The reason for our work order day is to aid us in reaching this goal. To turn mental illness around is creative, to my way of thinking.
No, we are not Lord Byron, Vincent Van Gogh or Herman Melville, or Sylvia Plath or Virginia Woolf and Robert Lowell. All of these creators are thought by researchers to have suffered just as we do with mental illness. We are not famous. We are not even creative in the customary sense of the word. But we can (and some of us do) mold ourselves into an improved person. This may not seem creative to the outside world in the usual sense of the word. But to my way of thinking, it is
When people condemn mindless acts of violence does it mean that they would say that mindful excellent violence?
Or what about mindless acts of gentleness?
I like that I like it very much.
Let gentlest be our word of the week.
And let’s not lose our minds about Putin
