Oh Alf!!!!!!! I have been waiting for someone to post this, one of my ALL TIME favourite poems.......bloody brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....the question is though....who is the invisible worm?...is it the love of another ? or is it some facet of the individual's personality which they were not aware of...............aye...deep stuff!Quote:

It must be nice to have your Yvie though and this month is half way through already so Spring won't be far away. Longer days and more chance to get out. Your free spirit isn't lost...she's just in a cave biding her time until she can burst out into the sun!Quote:

Thanks HES an MG for offerings tonight I enjoyed them :D
Just sign off with a sonnet from Christina Rossetti from her Monna Innominata
(turning the tables on male poets ;) )
Many in aftertimes will say of you
"He loved her"--while of me what will they say?
Not that I loved you more than just in play,
For fashion's sake as idle women do.
Even let them prate; who know not what we knew
Of love and parting in exceeding pain,
Of parting hopeless here to meet again,
Hopeless on earth, and heaven is out of view.
But by my heart of love laid bare to you,
My love that you can make not void nor vain,
Love that foregoes you but to claim anew
Beyond this passage of the gate of death,
I charge you at the Judgment make it plain
My love of you was life and not a breath.
Wise words spoken there. I wish everyone happiness whatever their situation.Quote:

I'm watching Slumdog Millionaire tonight and I'm finding it quite intense. Before having kids I could have watched it quite happily, but I'm finding it a bit upsetting to be honest. It takes me back to seeing kids begging on the street in Burma and Eritrea.
Cheers to you too. Whito vino tonighto! :)Quote:
