It captures perfectly me for me how I am currently appreciating the rare but simple moments that will become treasured memories.

Harry Potter

When the final film was coming to a close
and she tried to hide a grown-up tear
for the loss of Fred, Remus and Tonks
I tried not to look upset either
not for the loss of these three
though sad it was to see them go
but for the end of ten years together.
From the first film we saw
when she held my hand
and I kept her close to my side
directing her every movement
with over protective love
but now as we leave the cinema
still very close but not linked
she has to remind me
where I have parked my car.

Which prompted my previous poem. Appreciate is exactly right. Loved the Amelie freckle it is a great film!

My all time favourite film and I love that bit!!

isn't it the bit after that where she wonders just how many people are having orgasms in Paris at that very moment? The answer was 15

[Hes]

Ha ha...I love that bit too...I think I've got a few favourite bits.

Alf, that is really lovely. I can only imagine what it is like for you parents out there but I have a good imagination and I found your poem brought a lump to my throat (and the last line made me smile).

Kinder Downfall, 24 April 1932


The wind makes faces in the grit stacks:
totems and gargoyles squint and grimace.
The air here is half water: mouths suck
and gape in the rock. Bristle grass,
brown, bone-pale, shudders like hide,
grips each edge and cleft.
It is endless, a stranded reef
which seeps and surges indefinitely.
Paths slip under streams; pools hover;
stones become sheep become stones.

Look out. Follow the water’s drop
into green distance. There is sun
glinting the reservoir, its drafted edges
bright as a chalk horse; there is a town
in the hills’ shade that was once
a gathering place.
The wind is hard from the west,
a skein of voices in it, thin but clear
as curlews’. Their songs’ rising
crests the brown moor and flies.

Simple but effective....


SIMPLE PLEASURES


Simple in appearance
Subtle in design
The framework of a friendship
That ages like fine wine

It is the simple pleasures
That makes it all worthwhile
Sometimes just a sunrise
Is enough to make me smile

So much is in the watching
Or listening to natures voice
And knowing when to stop
And realize you have a choice

Take some time to just step back
And just take in the view
Its about the simple pleasures
That all of us once knew

Robert Longley

The Quest

High, hollowed in green
above the rocks of reason
lies the crater lake
whose ice the dreamer breaks
to find a summer season.

'He will plunge like a plummet down
far into hungry tides'
they cry, but as the sea
climbs to a lunar magnet
so the dreamer pursues
the lake where love resides.

Denise Levertov
