  • None People.

    Once again WordPress is being ageist, I genuinely did not know who these people were, I had to ask my son. Who Are These People       Emperor Palpatine, is stepping down, Dark Ada’s come to town. It all seems to be of great concern, is there something I should learn?       Who are… Read more

  • And That’s a Bad Thing

    I used to think as a teenager technology was a good thing, but I have become convinced it will destroy society, and most likely civilisation. The former in a direct way, the latter indirectly, as we are still in general the same savage beasts that waged the first and second word wars, but now we… Read more

  • I’m a Tyke

    I’m a Yorkshireman often known as a Tyke, we are said to be mean (a bit like the Scots, who aren’t either. but we are also known for being straight forward, bordering on the abrupt. I can tell you now Yorkshire folk are anything but mean, the majority are kind generous and loving. Like the… Read more

  • In My Opinion.

    I think today, I’ll just let the poem speak for itself, other than to add a disclaimer ”The following is my opinion” BOOKS Books of love, books of violence, books that just don’t make senseBooks of learning books of numbers, books on how to grow cucumbersBooks of history, books of maps, books that just say… Read more

  • The World Awaiting.

    This prompt or others very much alike keep turning up. I’m bored with it, one can’t just keep being inspired by the same trite question. Then I was inspired to write something by someone, another blogger, a friend had written me, Bizarrely it actually fits todays prompt in a surreal sort of way. So what… Read more

  • The View From Above

    I’m inspired by two people, Greta Thunberg for her love and devotion to our home, our planet, and Bob Dylan for giving me my love of words and their power. I have written about both, for prompts before, so I’m not going to repeat, you can find all in the archives of my blog anyway.… Read more

  • And Now For Something Completely Different.

    Anarchic, funny, irreverent, set me up for later life. I’m talking about “Monty Pythons Flying Circus” of course, It’s a bit like Marmite, you either loved it or hated it, for those not familiar with it I apologise. The quotes are not meant to be exact, it’s just a pastiche. LET’S TAKE A FUNNY WALK.… Read more

  • Mood Swings and Roundabouts

    This is a complicated subject, I will try and keep the intro short as posible. “Black, black, Bible black” a quote “ish” from Dylan Thomas’s “Under Milk Wood” Then from my favourite Dylan (Bob) the words “Most of the time” where he sings of a lost love and doesn’t think about her “Most of the… Read more

  • The Hammer Song

    I am asked by the prompt “What skill would I like to instantly acquire?” First of all a song called “If I Was a Carpenter” came into my mind, but that wasn’t right, what I was actually remembering was a Pete Seeger song. I looked it up, I thought it was called “”If I Had… Read more
