Exactly, thank you Victoria for feedback & encouragement.

I should probably avoid repetition of the word, but I tend to feel the piece & not check too carefully 😳

I was directly influenced by your use & play with space & structure from Soi-même..

Hi Victoria,

I’ve not been doing any poetry, been reflecting on the art-form, personal experience & what can lie behind the beauty on the page…so it was nice to see this intriguing prompt & have a go.

Thanks!
I’m wondering about taking it down. Studio day producer was sick & too busy to rearrange for several weeks. I wanted to hit Nov 19 & tried doing chorus vocals at home in a “quiet slot”- it didn’t work.
For the album I’ll retake vocal parts so hopefully better. Indie pressures 🤷‍♂️
Thank u tho’

Hats off for all the dedicated nation busting MAGA support and crass p1g 1gnorance.

Thanks Victoria !🌷
I am so happy to be part of this collection with so many wonderful writers. So grateful to Claire too and what a wonderful book.
This is a tonic for when the path seems darker.

It’s as if the US has become like Nazi Germany. Armed thugs at loose on behalf of a psychopath dictator….

It’s worth noting that during the Conservatives’ 14 years of immiseration through austerity they got rid of 7,500 experienced prison officers.
At say 20yrs av. experience that’s 150,000 yrs of know-how lost.
Problems followed of course, so they hired 5,000 school leavers w zero experience 🙄

During City’s extensive Odysseys through the lower divisions it was always so much easier to get away tickets. I’ve seen them lose at many different grounds.
“All we are saying is give us a roof” at Plough Lane and Fratton Park spring to mind.
The humour was great. The Goater goals, pure joy.

Wonderful guy. We met at Land Registry which was the lowest staff turnover organisation I ever worked in. Everyone knew everyone. Fitting in was hard but he was generous, always helpful & impressive in his work.

Used to tease me about that ‘81 FA Cup Final tho’…

Thank you Eve
The rehearsal was good at least and the band really did well learning new material for them, including a nice new song due out 19 November, ‘Alors’. They really made it beautiful..

Deleted it now. The point was to submit it for the publication so never mind. I’m nobody’s best of anything and the world will stagger on without it ☺️

I didn’t know there was another link you had to use to send your #smallpoemsunday in - but then I don’t know much about the poetry world….guitarists eh ? 🙄

I just stopped off on the motorway after a 5 hour band session, posted it on Bluesky and congratulated myself for my efficiency..
😂

Useful for another time !
I thought you had to post it on Bluesky so I stopped off at a motorway junction to catch the window. 🤪
