My Beautiful Ring true

Once I had a beautiful ring
my father gave my brother
and eventually gave to me
as in the pub people said give it to me

But as passing it over
dropped to the ground
the top fell off
and I was spell bound

We had it mended
never so bright again
I will describe it to you
a round crystal like top

Surrounded by rhinestones
but secret opening square design
flapped about when I had it on
filigree edges brass at the sides

So one day pop put a bolt through
the hinge and sealed it down
shone like the stars and as round
as the moon

WARNING!

But things that happened with it
were not at all funny!
when I was young
my nan did the T leaves

And had a small crystal ball
I would look there was nothing at all
mum ran away with someone else
after 30 years married

Pop would get the ring
and read into it
and say "I can see mum
and all going on

"I only need a vicar" he would say
right from a child everything
he told me came true!
good or bad he was psychic
even done birthday presents up

In baby paper
how on earth did he know
but near the time of the birth
changed his mind

So had to live with the boyfriend
wasn't pleased at first
pop became ill with the big C
years on and we had moved

I used to wash his face and comb
his hair and he asked me
lay down beside him on the cover
when in pain

Put him out on his commode
the last time I didn't know
got him back to bed
loved to chat

I would crush his pills
he take a whiskey as well
no mum but other's came evening time
pop put by a teddy for our daughter

Big picture of dogs sitting
at table playing snooker
when I went home
but all went

one of four brothers
said "that's it he is gone
my sister then went home new babe
and daughter. I held a rosary and prayed

Our little girl with her
came back by car too late
dad was gone
but on a birthday of mine all happy

She came over and gave me apresent?
a video nice I thought of family maybe
I played after she went
video of her and pop walking

Up the arch of the church for her wedding
how? could she when he was bedridden
I nursed and held his hand kissed him goodbye
the video caused me be very upset that night

Warning!

I always wore that ring
on march 13th was his birthday lucky for me
and the date he wed
but lights would dim

Curtains would blow out the window
doorbells would go and no one there
look outside no one there
telephone would ring no one at all

so creepy!

In the days I went to church
then a holy shrine with other's by coach
I had been through so much myself
prayer and praise and healing

I brought back a folded glass
like a book said "Welcome in your new home"
true we had a second hand wardrobe
but crash and down it came on the floor

Nothing to knock it at all
the room would not accept at first
anything holy
after pop died I was handed a photo

Of me arm in arm arm with my dad
pregnant then carrying babe
of my dreams not then born
I put it on mantlepiece the loving photo

We waiting for relative close to come
all things bought for the dinner
call came "sorry can't make it gone sick"
I cried my eyes out!

Picked up photo and said
"Dad why do they do this to me"
kissed it and done the sign of the cross on it
two seconds later the phone did ring

My young cousin "Aunty feeling better can we come
I had already plastered my eyes green
after having a good cry!
so "ok I said".

I told the vicar had then I had
about the happenings
also a sound like balls being kicked
and rolled against the wall

He said "l will have to get get someone
to bless the place"
Or exorcisim he didn't come
so vicar turned up on his own

Dressed in black head to toe
so frightening
came in which room feels presence
no not front room here

So we took him through
to the bedroom and he got me and mine
to say "The Lords prayer" and took holy communion
Ah! he said feels more at peace now

Vicar said "You must get rid of the video
and the ring how could I do that
when I loved it and my dad gave it to me
so my daughter had asked for it

Without further a do gave it to her
as moved then said "her rabbits found pulled
through the cage
and cutlery draw rattled at night

She only sixteen moved
for more room
but only few feet away
from where we all lived as kids

I have just read "Jeremy Irons"
is in new film take part of Pope
and in those days Borgias

Killings and blood
and also Poison rings were used
was it a poison ring
was it the flat with no double glazing in

Or a fox when rabbit's were killed
so I know now pop
who I did all for
not gone over the otherside

His spirit wanted stay with me
or was it his barley wine and whiskey!
darling pop we didn't always get on
so R.I.P on the otherside

Bless you with my love
to all of you have a mum or dad
or someone you love
tell them not to suffer long

Who ever it may be
kiss them
and warmth of your love
holding their hand

They will pass over
the otherside in peace.
I was told it is a fact

What a strange poem true!
quite draining to do!
I saw 'Jeremy Irons' by chance once
Gatwick we were changing trains

He was stubbing out cigarette end
then with his foot on the platform
I called out Jeremy Irons
he smiled Wow!

all comments please!
Ideas and help! maybe, appreciated.

Hi julie, there are so many events in a persons life and you have managed to convey so much, in such a small space of time. There is a lot of saddness about your pop, especially that your mum ran away, then the haunting. It must have been a traumatic time for you and your family. I read this with great interest and hope that you are well. Take care. Jenny.

Julie - I agree with Jenny's comment. Your poem was a wonderous ride, filled with longing, sadness, hope and humour! Some very tender scenes, especially with your father, and I enjoyed the deep mystery of the ring when confronted by the spooky vicar! I got a little lost in one or two of the stanzas but no matter...there is so much warmth and good nature in this poem that I felt compelled to read it again...and the ending...Jeremy Irons! A laugh-out-loud surprise! But weaved so effortlessly into the narrative it proved a most natural place to conclude. Def. one for a live reading...All the very best, Mark.

Readings high, but without Editor t.Cook Tony's help none of this would been possible, can't do punctuation, I share hubbies computer, and nopw OMG T.Cook and John Wilks got two mine in the AbcTales Magazine 23 over the moon.

Dear julie, I think you should be proud of all the things that you do and as long as you hold your head up high and say, 'I've done my best with my life,' then I applaud you for that. Have a peaceful night and a good day tomorrow. Jenny.xx

Hi Julie, this is really spooky, and you say it's true? How did you feel about it all, the prophesy etc? I know you are a believer, that comes across in what you write quite plainly. You obviously think deeply about things. The poem surprised me with its twist. The first few stanzas lulled me into a gentle world of make-do-and-mend and family values and then - POW! WARNING, WATCH OUT! What a change in tempo and mood. Some very intruiging memories and recollections, and all so weird, yet wonderful. Thank you for sharing, and as to the writing - very good and I particularly liked: shone like the stars and as round as the moon truly poetic, and beautifully put. And you mention in your memories about that picture with the dogs playing snooker and instantly I remembered seeing it in a pub somewhere, more than one pub as it happens. Funny how these things jog your memory and take you back. Anyway, really enjoyed sharing this with you. I believe what you've related is worth a proper full-length story to do it justice. Well done. We're off to Devon now to see the grandchildren etc. Will read your GREEN EYES, either when we get back tonight, or tomorrow when I have more time. sue

Then what happened and dvd sister once knew, and rest happenings, my 2nd church I could eventually tell Priest told me get rid of both, still have a phot with baby wearing it, I loved it. So put WARNING as it was. Place blessed! Happens to some people. I know soem clock stops time died. Or pictures fall of wall. Or some get preminition very close someone love. The bible says fortune teller's etc; don't dapple with. Uni proved cat's cries like babies different sound, means different things, I know that now. With Jazz "Green Eyes". Extra warm loving cat. Then read someone bought suit 2nd hand and experiences= pol? happened to him. But still buy second hand things. Priest should come didn't so the one had great came. 12 years there and healing services. Then one 7 years homeless all the help in the world two of them. Editor t.cook mentioned my "Mangled Mess Of Some Of Life's Experiences" make a good story of family and pop! but on heare high readings, very long, but can't get written right yet. Plus aware as four brother's and sister alive, so couldn't offend any! Yes very sensitive person, happenings in life! can do.

Yep looked out picture huge, and teddy bear, all gone next day. Broke my heart get rid of ring course. Have a good week-end.

And only late in life on his own tell us about someone just met, maybe in pub the, all true, unyet never knew them. Told about wrong limbs hospitals, in those days happened. And of my little child play mate, awful all came true! Who could trust and couldn't hated it. Wouldn't and didn't want to believe cause, so young. I thought all kind and trustful, so wrong? My nan was his mum. Course.Gave it away, can't say who!! Now doesn't seem to safe someone sit beside on a bus. Whats happened to the world I don't know.

You have some amazing stories, Julie. Never worry about telling too much because I enjoy it all and it's nice to share your incredible experiences. I'm afraid my life has been on the whole rather uneventful (apart from the normal family losses eveyone of a certain age goes through) and that's why most of the things I write about are made up. I live in a fantasy world when I write, but I try to fuse fact with fiction. I like to play my adventures in my head then try to make others see the pictures. I think that is how different we are (you and I), because you write from the heart and life's experience, and I have to make it up - most of it anyway. I know what you mean about not seeming safe sitting next to someone on a bus. It's irrational to feel like that, but we can't help it. As we get older we feel more vulnerable, not so sure of ourselves and mistrusting of people we don't know. I think the media is largely responsible for that, in the way that they portray the news, it is disproportionate. I hope we don't ever get to the stage where we are scared to set foot outside the door. Very interesting to hear all your little anecdotes, Julie. I'll write again soon. Oh, and I meant to say Happy Belated Birthday! Well done. When you said you are in your 73rd year, do you mean that you are 72 now, or 73? love sue

Hello, Cavalcaderl. I've read your poem over a few times. It is quite an interesting story and there are some touching verses for example "His spirit wanted stay with me or was it his barley wine and whiskey! darling pop we didn't always get on so R.I.P on the otherside Bless you with my love to all of you have a mum or dad or someone you love tell them not to suffer long Who ever it may be kiss them and warmth of your love holding their hand They will pass over the otherside in peace. I was told it is a fact" I like the way that you use the ring to simultaneously tell two different stories; both the story of a spooky, mysterious ring and the story of your relationship with your father. I also thought that there were some scenes in the poem that were quite dramatic and atmospheric and make quite a good ghost story, for example I told the vicar had then I had about the happenings also a sound like balls being kicked and rolled against the wall He said "l will have to get get someone to bless the place" Or exorcisim he didn't come so vicar turned up on his own Dressed in black head to toe so frightening came in which room feels presence no not front room here So we took him through to the bedroom and he got me and mine to say "The Lords prayer" and took holy communion Ah! he said feels more at peace now Vicar said "You must get rid of the video and the ring how could I do that when I loved it and my dad gave it to me so my daughter had asked for it Without further a do gave it to her as moved then said "her rabbits found pulled through the cage and cutlery draw rattled at night Overall, I very much enjoyed your poem. JoHn - "Ex amore victoria". ("From love comes victory".)

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

new Well-wisher Hi! John,thankyou so much Bit long sorry, for reading this poem, unfortunately perfectly true! Very very strict Navy man. Family of 6 and two parents. Made 8. Then Painter and decorator sign writer. Lead into working into n/home people. Clever could play piano,violin,accordion, none of us picked up. Loved us all. But what a life, mum ran off someone after 3o years, stuck by all children. When had baby used wear it the ring proud, pushing the pram. Got photo two years later died. I was told that is what happens, if hold someones hand, warmth of the one, helps them slip over! at time it was be his side,in morning, sat on his bed, talked. He chatted. Went home came in morning put out on commode,and back bed had C. Others came in evening but in coma already from morning. I asked him not suffer long, in prayer year. Well wanted best for me, never quite worked out. Till end. But shocked over ring, sensitive person! Also his mum my nan, when I was a child had a crystal ball and tea leaves. Bad in christian world. So pop was psychic many times, after mum walked out. Used ring to see read into naughty, all said came true!

A close friend once approached our Minister in confidence and told of how his wife sometimes gets possessed by the devil with great force and fury without even the least warning, and that he is desperate for help. At which the Reverend put his hand on the friend's shoulder and gravely answered: Brother. Be grateful it's not every day. Maybe it's better not to marry. All the best Julie! Nolan &&

By the way Julie I did not mean to say that your letters are boring, not in the least. It's just if it was to go on to infinity then one could jazz it up a bit here and there so that it would not be too repetitive. By itself such an algorithm would be hard enough for starters you would need the whole English dictionary. I hope we don't start seriously misunderstanding each other, sorry to say it almost feels like you're putting words in my mouth. Got to go. (Looking over my shoulder). Best wishes! & Nolan

Julie a close friend came by the other day and all trembling in hush told of the most feared that is approaching. I said he is a brave man. He explained he was even more scared of the fact that he was so scared. I asked why? His great fear was waiting for the bride and an irrational fear of catastrophic embarrassment for all. She's known to make one wait. Long. I said hell yes. So he asked me in whispers on what I knew of diapers and I replied yes as far as I know they do use them in hospitals and homes and such (do you know of this Julie?) I said yes well no one has to know and if you lose 5kg's and trousers one size larger I'm sure nobody would notice. Then said but surely you can still get out? He said no he won't miss it for the world it was the first wedding he was invited to in 20 years.
