Today's poet

[stevefoster]

My love, stay strong and you will do well in life. I love
you and my children deeply. Today and tomorrow let each day grow
and grow. Keep smiling and never give up even when things get you
Down. So in closing my love, tonight tuck my children in bed
warmly. Tell them I love them, then hug them for me and give them
both a kiss goodnight for daddy.

Hey Mossdog, you writing Mr Moon reminded me of my middle nephew Declan. When he was two he loved going outside to see Mr Moon as he always called him

[Tussockface]

Found this on Mud, Sweat and Tears

The Mountain

The mountain sat upon the plain
in his eternal chair,
his observation omnifold,
his inquest everywhere.

The seasons prayed around his knees,
like childeren round a shrine:
Grandfather of the days is he,
of dawn the ancestor.

Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson was rubbish at fellrunning.

I wrote this one during a long Board of Education meeting in the mid 90's:

My buttocks have fallen asleep,
And emitted an A sharp beep.
The note was so shrill,
It made me feel ill
and frightened a whole flock of sheep.

Aye, and Stradivarius was a cr@p painter

You've sussed me DT. I've clearly retained a 2 year old's mentality.

Actually, Mr Moon was pretty cool for the first part of this evening, but now he seems to have called it a night around these here parts.

Your Attention Please!

I have entitled tonight's Haiku:

On Completing Hill Reps From Red Groves to Harberry Triangulation Point While Wearing Sodden (not sodding) Inov8s

If you are sitting comfortably I'll begin:


night fells by Tikka
seem much bloody steeper, why?
my friend, Mr Moon, smiles.



Thank you. Applause will not be necessary as my audiences are often left speechless and in awe.

What a build up!

For your next assignment, can you interpret your haiku in expressive dance please? YouTube awaits!

Moon with Venus guides
Across scree, field and fell
Never once alone
