  • Shaped By the Shape of Things To Come.

    SHAPED BY THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME. I’m shaped by cruelty, injustice, ignorance and strifeI’m shaped by my brothers, friends parents and wifeI’m shaped by truth, justice, inhumanity and loveI’m shaped by violence, resistance fits me like a glove I’m shaped by things I’m not, of these there are a numberI’m shaped by the… Read more

  • Sleep Is a Blessing, Waking Is a Curse.

    I am good at many things, but sleep isn’t one of them. Laying away thinking, how do I make this, how do I fix that, how do we pay the next bill, how can I make people understand they are doing wrong? Sleep “Just shut your eyes and go to sleep”, is what my wife… 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

  • Putting Up Bounderies.

    I quite like to challenge myself, firstly with coming up with a twist on the prompt, then turning the whole thing around. Being nearly 72 now I no longer have now my parents, and one brother who was nine years older than I died four years ago, nevertheless the below still works in principal. This… Read more

  • Souls

    I would have loved to have written, about the fish”sole” or even shoe soles, and there is another of course but I’m not going there, the spelling isn’t the same so it wouldn’t really work. If the definition of “Soul mate” is someone I am strongly connected to then yes I have one of those,… Read more

  • Stay Forever On Your Guard.

    Dylan inspired again today, this time from his song “Forever Young” a song which written for his son, both opens and closes his album “Planet Waves” Fast pace for the opener and slow pace for the close. My favourite line “May your hands always be be busy, may your feet always be swift, may you… Read more

  • Crosswords and Cross Words.

    It’s Sunday today, I have written Mondays post, but tomorrow I’m doing a trial for a new job, so won’t have time to write, so I’m sorry it has to be a repeat. More Than Five Things I do For Fun. Burning logs on my fire, satisfying my desire, watching corrupt politicians get fired,Kicking dry… Read more

  • Trust the Ones You Love, Love the Ones You Trust.

    I have found that in general the only people one can ask for advice from, are friends and family. Nearly everyone else, has the “What’s in it for me” attitude. ASK ADVICE. Ask advice from a doctor if you want to stay healthyAsk advice from a banker he knows how to be wealthyAsk advice from… Read more

  • Hands.

    I was gifted with hands that could create many wonderful things, and I’ve had a very productive life. Day to day, my most creative period is in the mornings, I flag in the afternoon. Indeed I left writing today’s post late again, ended up answering the wrong prompt, so now it’s too late, my readers… Read more
