The IOm is a little gem have lived here since 1996. I am not a biker but I LOVE the buzz of the TT - the races start tomorrow as the festival has been marred by poor weather for practice. I listen on the radio and watch on the TV - used to go to the Grandstand and watch from the commentary box but hubby now taken early retirement so I've lost that birds eye view!:-) hugs Jan xx

I like seeing the inspiration for the poem, your title, and the form you used. And also the descriptive phrasing. In other words, like everything about your poem!

If I'd not seen the film for myself I would never have believed a fish could create such art Gail!:-) hugs Jan xx

Isn't it incredible - I had to share - if you just say the picture it doesn't look possible a fish could have made this pattern:-) hugs jan xx
