Thanks Merry. I won't let my new status go to my head. I like your rhyming haiku:

grandmaster merry
rhyming haiku maverick
wise and funny too

Not so sure about wise, seem to get dafter as i get older

Hallo poetry peeps, heres another pile of twaddle

Snowflake

A self coloured sky
six billion unrepeatable patterns
slumping through, along
six billion imagined paths
cascade at the rate of clotted ash

One rests in my palm its
fractal edges losing form
receding now to a globular core
no two lives are the same

your poems have a real gentleness and sophistication Neil I am really enjoying them so please post more...think this might be another one for the wall...i love the last line, you are so right! and if people would only remember that point I think there would be a lot more tolerance and understanding in the world as well as appreciation of the beauty of our uniqueness as individuals ( a bit like each snowflake!)....i thought it was all very symbolic....magnificent!

happiness is found
where the sea meets the sky
and gulls soar between

this is lovely i can see one of your prints going alongside it , have you been in the masters lounge yet hes? its well comfy in there!

winter daybreak sky
charcoal and scarlet melange
one giant bruise

Beautiful imagery.....particularly like the imagery of a bruise, which is of course ever changing...slowly...discreetly....lovely !!!! some excellent orginal work on this thread recently!

Head still aching with the pace of January
Inspiration in a far off land
I enjoy the fruits of fell poets labour
With a glass of wine in hand!

Bottom ups!

Life without TV, my kids have lots of books and Roald Dahl DVD's

TELEVISION

The most important thing we've learned, [...]

Will love you more for what you did.

Roald Dahl

And they fight over which channel to watch

Agree. And possibly one of the best poems/lyrics regarding Television was penned/song by the Disposable Heros of Hiphoprisy
