The English language is so wonderful. But you amaze me by you prodigious output it is phenomenal.Loved this haiku 8 in a hour Englands cricketers would be hard pressed to beat that. George.

I can't believe my output either George having written over 540 on my page since Feb 2014 and about another 30 with my writing partner Darren Watson under the name Jadazzle united - sadly Darren has been ill for some months so we are no longer writing together at the moment:-( Hugs Jan xx

It has happened twice George when I have had 2 burst of creativity - the first the day before dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer - i wrote 11 poems - interestingly one was all about tears and every line began with the word tears, the 2nd time it happened I wrote/part wrote 8 poems 2 days before dad died - my poem 'he's driving her crazy' was the final one I had to finish just needing one line - think it means I have a stock pile of poems for when times get tough - am going to worry if it happens again!

Sometimes in life, one does something that's right, continued support comes in many shapes and forms which totally delights me as my life's history tells. Sometimes in life, you have to pay back, as long as we respect, it doesn't matter whom receives, and it's a joy to support you. Mega HUGS, James xxx

The poem came before the picture - I wrote this in the pub on Wednesday along with 7 more (4 just need one more line writing) whilst waiting for my hubby to collect me from his meeting. I still have my PM until next month so will find appropriate pictures whilst I still have the facility:-) Hugs Jan xx

Thanks, Jan, for reading my poem Profession. Yea, I started not quiet two years ago writing. It was kind of a promise to my late father and it is good fun just putting thoughts together. I love the haiku on nights. I presently work overnights in a group home for developmentally challenged men. That may be my favorite time of day now. God Bless ya really good. And thanks.

Thanks for the lovely comment Brian - your job sounds incredibly challenging - I work with children who mainly have Asperger's syndrome - love my job each day brings something special:-) Hugs jan xx
