Leonard & Co-hen

By Ewan on Sun, 11 Aug 2024

Cohen claimed that all his lyrics were just poetry. He would write on anything that came to hand, sift through fragments later, pairing them up, piecing them together, one step up from Dada-ist Triztan Tzara's cut-ups, I suppose. Anyway, that's what i like to do, write bits and join them up later - or not.

A very cross tic, eh?

Not my favourite form
Or indeed -
If I'm honest -
Maybe I just don't like 'em
No-one hasn't written one
Or had a go and
Tried too hard.

This is our Pick of the day for 10th March 2025

Posted on Thu, 06 Mar 2025

  Assured, convincing writing, a bold and meaningful premise, well handled. Art and how we respond to it is an interesting subject, Mark has made the most of that in this wonderful piece, and that's why it is our Social Media Pick of the Day....

  This second part of The Speedy is today's Pick of the Day. There are several names for this kind of tale, one of them is chain. But that's not important. This is a clever conceit and beautifully executed, PLEASE share on your social media...

 It's laughter in the dark, but as that's when we need it most, who are we to deny ourselves the comfort it brings? A recipe for disaster, indeed.
Clever, and deeply worrying. That's why it's our Pick of the Day!
Please share it on...

 Funny, others' - and the author's own - foibles depicted with an indulgent fondness and, as ever, bringing smiles and laughter. I can think of no better reasons to select this as our Pick of the Day today. Please share on your Social Media,...
