Twenty Minutes at the Village Bus Stop

Thank you Turlough, always

Thank you Turlough, always value your opinion. To my mind a poem's not a poem if it don't rhyme. The comatose verse was my favourite, I was determined to get CPR in there somehow.
I did have some more ideas of how the dim-witted...

Poor Ludo !
Posted on Mon, 05 Jan 2026
He must be galloping through his nine lives, well done to you and P for keeping him going.

Thanks for your time Jenny.
Posted on Sat, 03 Jan 2026
Thanks for your time Jenny. I don't know if you have ever read Angela Carter's short story 'The Company of Wolves', or seen the film of the same name, but it is her typically gothic take on the Red Riding Hood story. I would recommend both of...
