Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

Very nice OW!

I was going to post a poem called 'Mucky' by Geoff Hattersley but after Old Whippet's comment on the recent tone of the thread (I blame the recent voluptuous, full moon), I think perhaps I'd get myself banned so here is one that I like by Robert Frost:

I'll risk it.

[Derby Tup]

indigo autumn night
bonfires, rockets and sparklers
Guy Fawkes, we salute you

[freckle]

Ahem....order...order!

I shall now try and integrate the two ideas of love and lust in one fell (get it?-fell????) swoop:

Love's like a dizziness
James Hogg 1770-1835
from 100 favourite scottish love poems

O! love! love! laddie!
Love's like a dizziness!
It winna let a puir body
Gang about his business!

[mr brightside]

Ahem...

Beans, beans good fer yer heart,
Beans, beans make yer fart,
The more yer fart the better yer feel,
S' let's 'ave beans fer ev'ry meal.

That's how yer go on

[mr brightside]

Ahem...

Beans, beans good fer yer heart,
Beans, beans make yer fart,
The more yer fart the better yer feel,
S' let's 'ave beans fer ev'ry meal.

Dust of Snow

The way a crow
Shoook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

hes this is lovely....now what's all this about getting banned? ....we like freedom of expression on this here thread!

[Mossdog]

I like that Hes. But isn't it spelled 'rude'. (I know, I know)

Just thawed from tonights run. Bit further than I'd planned. This is my report.

Ascending Barlow Fell
Endorphins soothing groin and thigh
Grizzle becomes drizzle becomes rain.
Atop the moor unfolds Fawkes’ panorama
Beacons blaze to the North the South and Eastern sea.
Sky crackling and popping unnoticed
As I navigate the unlit road ahead.
My reward alights from the hedgerow
A barn Owl in flight
Unimpressed by the annual cacophony.
Rain long gone, sky clear
With numb hands back home.

Wow. More please.

[Harry H Howgill]

Ahem....order...order!

That Hes, she started it Miss

too true!

Goodness Hes. I've just taken a peek at 'Mucky'. That's so hot it's smokin....sizzle.
