Jagged and spiky in places, uncannily smooth in others, or maybe a video loop with lots of jump cuts

Although I remember Lockerbie well (1988, my sister was on another flight the same day) this was actually 1972, apparently a mechanical fault with the plane, a Trident. Only a few minutes after take off too, so more like the recent Air India disaster. Thanks for reading 🙏

Thanks Scott. It was a strange thing to stumble across in the liminal space between town and countryside.

Thanks Jan. The crash was in 1972, and I. Checking the details before writing I see there was a big commemoration in 2022. We lived there in 2000, so a long time ago.

Thank you. The planes flew over about once a minute so it was quite sobering to think about / remember a crash so significant, and 1972 isn't that very long ago.

Where I used to live there was a large mural celebrating 'heroic animals', part of urban regeneration instead of leaving shop fronts empty. These poor creatures did amazing deeds without having much say. Great poem!

I'm intrigued as to what such a memorial might look like 😯 Quite startling, I'd imagine

This brings so many same-but- different memories for me. Wonderful writing!

We have people here locally with Polish ancestry relating to men posted to this area in WWII, who are a bit sniffly about the other Polish locals (arriving in the 2010s), and despite their surnames ignore that part of their family history. Interesting to see as an outsider. Great poem!

That is so poignant!

The ritual of Remembrance Day is hard to enact without a place. Also for terrible battles like so many of the First and Second World Wars having a place where your loved one's name is inscribed means they are more than just a number on a register.
Thought provoking piece!

Hoping to run one in the early New Year, it's a team effort with all the work for the newsletter and website side of things.

Nice to read your words again, and how well the five poems sit together! Congratulations on publication with the wonderful Lothlorien Poetry Journal.

Brilliantly thought provoking Jan. Full of ideas and with a compelling narrative and great observations. I especially liked the third stanza, its compactness.

Totally agree about commas, I either have too many or none, and I don't know which is worse! There was a thing earlier this year about the semi colon getting cancelled, something to do with AI I think.

Scouse seems the perfect accent, and he dabbled in poetry in his early days I think 😁
