Today's poet

[Hes]

Hi Freckle, great to see you! I've been absent from here for ages. It would be great to catch up with you sometime soon. Hope all is well?.xx

this is gorgeous Hes...hope you are well, feels like we haven't caught up in yonks!

Some great choices on here over the past 24 hours I can barely keep up!...personally I love september and autumn although I can appreciate it has a rather melancholy tone.

[Harry H Howgill]

Hi HHH, it was beautiful today but I can feel the autumn melancholy creeping in!

Eee! I know what you mean. Chin up lass. :-)

[Harry H Howgill]

Three original fell poets all on at once. Blimey. That's not happened for a while! Hi to you both. x

[Hes]

I was just thinking the same thing! Its a rare occasion these days. Good to be with you both.

Take care guys, I'm off to bed. Got a strenuous day ahead tomorrow. Ducky's Farm Park awaits. ;-)

Ha Ha ! good luck with that one Harry, can I remind you two and all frequenters of the thread to check out the durham literary festival website as loads of poets are performing and it could be a good time to meet up.....Hes I am OK (just about!) x

Night HHH, enjoy the farm! X
Thanks for the tip off Freckle, I'll take a look. It would be great to meet up and maybe have a wee run too. I'm off to bed now but will be in touch, would be good to hear how you're getting on. Night night xx

Lament

no more the curlew's bubbling cry
long since flown west
and summer passed by
rain tears are wept
by the moorland sky
as the heather fades
and the flowers die
oh what will become
of you and I?

Fantastic Hes, and you've really caught the somber spirit of the moment. Ran up Cairn Gorm last Sunday and it was 'full-on/ no holds barred' winter, snow, severely below zero wind chill, dense cloud and gloves icing up!!! No single vestige of summer there anymore!

Another gem from Piet Hein, thinking like the physicist he was....

I'd like to know
what this whole show
is all about
before it's out

Chinese noodles
just like doodles
egg fried rice
is very nice
