I always have to smile when I see our resident magpies belittling the neighbour's mog.

I like the sound of cicadas as long as I'm not too near one.

Clever the way you have paralled our lives with that of cicadas, luckily we don't have to spend 17 years underground like some of them do, but as you say, in a way we do bury ourselves in our lives and work for years and sometimes things happen...

When I read this I thought I was becoming paranoid.

I saw a description of power and corruption and I began to think I see this in nearly everything I read nowadays. I dismissed my thought telling myself this is about something less political, more personal maybe. However, I am sure my first ...

Always tricky to know your poems :)
