How solipsistic!
'They spare no thought for others,'
I think to myself.

True story: there’s no such theory as “Flat Earth”. There are in fact dozens of competing and contradictory Flat Earth theories and frankly none of them are even half as believable as either Terry Pratchett or The Silmarillion.

My favourite TV programme last year - only just beating Wednesday into second place - was The Rings of Power. I loved the breadth and scope, and this Galadriel was my favourite character on TV last year.
Shame that it suffers from a fairly toxic fandom, alth admittedly it is nowhere as bad as the Star Wars universe.

Never let it be said that I don’t tackle THE BIG TOPICS with my poetry.
Anyway here’s a poem about sandwich fillings. #poetry #poem #poetryuk

#poetryuk #poetry #poet I am but dust in the wind, awaiting the dew drops to water my lake of seasons end. Listening to the chatter of yesterday's ghosts telling tales of whispering delight. Laughing by brazier fires beneath a shining light. Reflecting on the flowing sound of echoes heading out to sea. Mystical chants of minstrels invisible who mumble songs for free.Eating all the spiritual delights of cuckoo time debris.Waiting for my starters orders to enlighten my inquisitive plea.

Hello #poetryuk I just posted a new #poem 🌸 on my blog titled 'selfish' ~ quick read :)

https://thisisnota.business.blog/2022/12/20/selfish/

PREORDER (28.02.2023):

Dean Rhetoric’s Foundry Songs examines shame, grief, lust and loss through the emotional upheaval of a troubled adolescence pitted against a post-industrial backdrop. The poems grapple with God and working class identity, envisioning a world where posh pelicans laugh at seagulls choking on chips, workers on strike protest Richard Curtis and tumours tumble out of jumper pockets.

I like this. It reminds me of a #Poem I wrote quite a while ago:

I have just been told
I'm an individual
The shock is with me still
My shield and sword have gone now
My cloak and scarf have too
Left only with myself
I don't know what to do

Humans are broken
Humans are beautiful too
So which are you?

My Brother And The Peanut

My Brother held a peanut
then stuck it up his nose,
he tried his best to get it out,
he even used his toes,
he blew and blew with all his might,
until his face turned red,
then he smiled with such delight
as it shot under his bed!

The management mandarins
Tell us time's in short supply,
We've got to make the most of it
Before we up and die,
Politicians prattle
That to live is to compete,
Whilst all the world around them
Struggle slowly to their feet,
Teachers teach, preachers preach
And doctors mend the ill,
All good things when done well
From a centre that is still,
And me, I write my worlds of truth
Knowing they're not mine,
Trying not to try too hard
Just letting justice shine,
An antidote to lies and such
And all the other things,
That egotistic elephants
And power-crazies sing.
