Hello BJS
Not sure why your leaving us? Have i missed something.
Whatever your reason hope you rethink it. Do take care
best wishes PB x

No BJS - leaving is not allowed! We have all tried but the call-back is too strong.


You may be happy to know,
That we don't want you to go.
You are a part of our team,
You call me the QUEEN,
So I ask you to swim with the flow.

Whatever has gone wrong,
We want to help you be strong.
If there's been a rift,
Your spirits we'll lift,
We'll be there to help you along.

No-one is stronger than you,
Ability just grew and grew,
The words that you choose
We don't want to lose,
Take short time to refresh and renew.

Please stay with us, BJS.
We need you here - confess!
Just have a time out,
Then give us a shout
We'll all come running to bless!

SUMMER PRAYER

Another day dawns grey and wet
For summer has forgot to come
And though the fledglings shout from nests
They cannot strengthen new wings
In bright warm summer sun,

Another week will soon pass by
With dark grey hues dominant on high
And though the flowers try show bright
Somehow their beauty just isn't quite right.

Another month is passed mid way
And time waits for no -one
The solstice soon will have its day
And mark the start of the departing sun.

Another summer not arrived
Another heatwave just an empty threat,
My only prayer for God today
Dear LORD may we sun get.

My goodness, Marcel. You've done it!

At least there is sun shining over 215 Vauxhall Bridge Road. Hope it's shining where you are as well.

I wish all the poets a very happy Wednesday!

Here too! Here comes the new career break I was looking for!

Ps I will also do Jubilee's , weddings, Barmitzvahs......

I was just going to post a poem but it was a sad one so it will have to wait. I don't want to be responsible for making the sun go away.

Hi Lin,
A bit of sun does sometimes get me overexcited.

Of course, if you need to get something sad off your chest, that's what the corner is here for....

I was thinking about the time when I worked as a teacher - before Parkinson's forced me to seek early retirement. I taught for 13 years after diagnosis (the unhappy discovery was 17 years ago).Altogether, I was a teacher for 31 years!

Nowadays, if someone asks me to do something to help them, I try my best to do it. I think I am a bit of a mug really. I think I should say no more often although I'm not one for negativity.

Thinking in this way produced the following...


I think those were the best days of my life
A special time, now lost and blown away.
Thoughts fill my head, but like a sharpened knife,
They pierce and slice those dark hours of the day.
To be as one, content and full of joy,
Now seems an age, too distant in the past.
New role is set to grumble and annoy,
And know for sure that sunshine will not last.
Where have they gone, those people I once knew?
And have they found a better place than this?
In wider world, are they uncertain too?
And often find some time to reminisce?
As days go by, the pictures fade from view,
Those happy days, which I once spent with you.

Release
-------------
In a Toxic mix I smoke the sky
Inhale extinction till I die
Pour pure hatred from the source
Which twisting,turning alters course

Touches,taints,infects the lives
Of all in contact,poison knives
Which peel,reveal,spill out the mix
A junkie squirming their next fix

As chemically errupt insane
Contentment fed,shoot up the brain
Which can,t relate to anything
Demonic with a broken wing

Exacting vengeance,thrashing out
From rooftops,quiet within the shout
Which terminates before reception
From the depths of lifes conception

If not being able to accept
A life which others intercept
Is lost,bereft,beyond all hope
As slippery as a bar of soap

Which surfacing to take a breath
Submerging once more seeking death
Then hangs around with caustic smile
Drags in others thus to defile

Caught in the storm release I give
A chance for you again to live
Forget,move on,if this is you
It's the best thing you can do

Time waits forever in the wings
Rejoices now as heaven sings
Inhale fresh air,cleansed of all sin
Now free,pain over,as new begin

It's easy now,forget those things
Like those still caught with broken wings
Who don,t deserve the light of day
In your release I hold the sway
