    I may have posted this a ong time ago but it is great so here it is again...

    Touch

    My hands
    Open the curtains of your being
    Clothe you in a further nudity
    Uncover the bodies of your body
    My hands
    Invent another body for your body

    'enjoyed' never seems quite the right word after Allendale. 26 miles. Cracking running for the 1st 7 or so then a middle section of peat bog hell lasting about 10 miles, before some excellent terrain that would be a joy had you not spent the previous 10 miles wading, leaping, struggling etc.
    I'm led to believe it improves the character.
    Anyway - I'll be at Guisborough as a spectator. Will stand at one of the check-points reciting poetry if you wish!!

    Ha ha! It might put me off my stride a tad! It will be great to see you there. It sounds like you had a really tough run. Fantastic that you can do that distance. I've just got to 18.5miles but its quite hard going.

    And you dont now.
    With your gaping maw,
    Bottomles gut
    And appetite for runners.
    Get out of the way
    Sapper of strength and spirit
    But first give me back my mudclaw
    Motherf*****.

    Pete Hags. As ugly a your name suggests.
    A glutinous roller-coaster
    ‘Undulating’ would make you sound benign
    And you’re not.
    Also known as Pete Groughs
    Another ugly name.
    Well deserved
    That's great. I take it you enjoyed it then.

    That is beautiful Hes. You've produced some absolutely fabulous poetry recently. Keep sharing the great work.

    Good luck for Guisborough tomorrow.

    I like this poem, it had a soothing feel (especially after reading the well constructed rant of a post allendaler !)

    see you soon Hes

    Well, top of the morning to you all...I is off on my jollies soon......have a nice day all

    Once more the round

    What's greater, Pebble or Pond?
    What can be known? The Unknown.
    My true self runs toward a Hill
    More! O More! visible.

    Now I adore my life
    With the Bird, the abiding Leaf,
    With the Fish, the questing Snail,
    And the Eye altering All;
    And I dance with William Blake
    For love, for Love's sake;

    And everything comes to One,
    As we dance on, dance on, dance on.

    Theodore Roethke
