but more important than that,
he taught us how to use our...

Katherine Moore Haiku

what happened to us
we may never know when or why
or how to translate

so what should we do
to relieve all of our pain
and suffer no more

seems so pure and plain
our answer just did appear
we wish you were here

when you leave again
better be sure to...

World War II vet, aged one hundred,
once risked his life for his mother land.
His country in a Covid war,
he once again lent them a hand.

Once youthful legs now needing aid
of walkers, this Thomas Moore did give
the battle-strength he still possessed,
so that Covid patients might live.

Captain Tom was an inspiration and became an overnight celebrity
Walked with the aid of a frame raising thirty million pounds for charity
He was ninety nine years old and was knighted by the Queen
And was affectionately known as a one man fund raising machine.

There is a man named Roy Moore
 Who 'dated' teenagers by the score
 Their schools he would call
 He was banned from a mall!
 Now he wants to be on the senate floor!

...ain't nothing but the blues

talkin' sweltering licks

screaming through flaming hues

reaching deep, deep into that wandering soul

of devilish chords on those walkways of paris

strutting and strumming, never taking a mere stroll

so though your time here and now may be up 

and though your moments...

In twenty three a star was born,
A supernova amateur
Amongst a galaxy of pros.
Self-taught, he’d gain respect from all.

His generous spirit helped the young
With finance and encouragement
Inspired a post-war generation
Of graduate astronomers.

So many aspects to his life :
A TV personality,
Cheerful monocled professor,
Enthusiastic cricketer
(He bowled a vicious...

SOMETHING BORROWED a M M Phrasis
Enough of ennui,I may I might
the mind is an enchanting thing,senses
do not deceive.Days of prismatic colour
apparations of splendour,things are what
they seem, a mosaic, a prosaic voracity
and verity.
What are years then? Efforts of affectation,
dispositions by angels? No,the past is the
present,a chameleon...

I'm just a regular guy,
got a taste for simple things
Nothing too fancy,
nothing too rich or extravagant
I ain't one who needs to wear the bling,
or who wants to own the mint 

Just be simple
with the desires I seek
Just be content
with the things given me
by God

I love...

Silence
Light is speech.    the mind
an enchanting thing
picking and choosing.
Our past becomes present
consequences.
Modesty may,might nay must
overcome envy.
Retreat propriety,
rescued by the disposition of angels
in pedantic literalism.
A distrust of merits, style &connoisseurs.
prisnmatic colours,hyphens &lines.
Nonchalance,in lieu
efforts of affection ,interacting with
apparations of splendour.
Sleep

Inspired by the works of...

Giles is a goaly, spotted by Tony Rich, 
A goalkeeping coach for a ladies team, 
He balances training with his college:
Gym, swimming, home exercises mean. 

He was part of the CP Worlds in 2015,
Where team England finished in fifth, 
And in Rio he played hard...

Everyone experiences a time in their life when it seems like the light has given away to darkness. 
Times when hope becomes the substance of memory leaving nothing but overwhelming loss
Times when sadness creeps in and consumes what remains – if much remains at all
Until...

ENGLAND
     evergreen
     temperate

     changeable

four seasons long

that never last...
     traditions
     of the past,
its global stage
