A powerful poem. The stark image of the moon really set the tone.

I've probably asked you this before HHH, but have you seen Il Postino? Think you'd love it, it features the work of our Pablo.

I haven't, but I really really must, to improve my poetic education. I'll have a look on ebay for the DVD.

You Breathe

You breathe at night.
It makes me smile.
You sing to me,
And for a while,

My heart feels calm,
My feelings clear;
The world seems simple,
When you're near.

Lovely Hes, wish i had my Golden Cocker Spanish Girl back, she was my boyhood mate.

Wow. It looks an atmospheric place. I'm sure you went there prepared, and sat by the shore and read some of his poems.

Re: Today's poet

Pablo.

When i read Pablo's poems i feel humble,
He enunciates with such clarity while i just mumble,
His passion soul and love for his life,
Makes me want to improve be sharp as a knife.

The emotion his writing exudes time and again,
I realise i must write from the heart feel love and pain,
Such beauty in the language he chooses to use,
To have work beside him would have been an offer you couldn't refuse.

I will try to caress the words as he does in his poetry,
And hope i can be a writer like him with passion and dignity,
To be a poet with a tenth of his talent would truly be great,
Until then i shall have to work hard and wait.

By Matt Harmston.

Very clever by the way getting attachments on the forum. I tried that once but had to give up in the end.

Awww, bet she was lovely. I do still see my dog now and again as I have visiting rights:) She is a border terrier and is a bit old, chubby and deaf now but I still think she is the best dog in the world.

I did indeed and I collected a couple shells from the beach and ate the most amazing cake called el sospiro which translates as 'a sigh'.

I bet Pablo would have loved the thought of young ladies continuing to sigh at his poems (and cakes) after he was long gone. :)

Mighty fine my good man. A good run today, and I saw my old car on the road. I thought it was going for scrap, so it was nice to see it running about again. With an extra set of pink fluffy dice now. Nice!
