Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

Hey, I loved your verse Noel - don't be so hard on yourself. Your definitely no chicken. Anyway, it's only a slight pronunciation difference between poetry thread and poultry thread:

This has been on before, but it is quite apt...

I'm in India
feeling more secure
and less likely to get chinned 'ere
I made friends with a steam-train firemen
who asked how long I would stay in his country
'Two weeks,' I replied
'Very short?' he probed
'I'm a very busy man.' I joked.
'What is it, the you do?' he probed further.
'Poetry!' I announced.
'Aha!' he pounced,
'Now I understand you,
my brother does the same.
Yes, very hard work:
the feeding, the cleaning, loading all the eggs on to
the lorry.'

...and in skirts and a petticoat too! Well if Freckle can run in a blue satin number....

Ooh I can't wait! I'll bring my flat cap.

Thanks Hes and Freckle. You really are too kind.

I'm now onto ginger wine and feel its virtues or lack of are too tricky for my poetry. Besides, I've already discussed them on the fox hunting thread.

On the subject of poetry, I defy anyone to drink a bottle and half of Leffe (75cl, not 33) and half a glass of ginger wine and not be moved to tears by this reading:

This is beautiful. Am I allowed to be moved to tears on just a cup of darjeeling?

The winding road can
not separate us. We are
under the same stars.

If you don't take the spoon out when you drink it you might!

Yes, I'm not normally into poetry, but that's great.

Don't you find Darjeeling weak? Is it meant to be like that?

Until a few weeks ago, most of us weren't into poetry. Keep going with it, you'll never know where it might lead.

A weak Darjeeling
Can leave you with a feeling
That's quite appealing

It is like tea flavoured hot milk! I only drink it after 9pm when I'd really rather have builder's tea but know the caffeine will make me lie awake wondering why I don't have a pension plan and what will happen if my landlord pops his clogs as I don't have a contract....that kind of thing!

Is that fusion poetry? Anyway I like it.

No idea at all I'm afraid. I just write the stuff. I don't know the technicalities!
