Love calls the Force, The Love that rocks the cradle, The Force hammers the rocks, The Force that breaks the waves. The Force drives the Pulse, The Pulse that beats the Rhythm,

To Mirhandah

By Nolan on Fri, 27 Nov 2009

Your children are not your children They are sons and daughters Longing for life Longing for itself. They come through you But not from you, They are with you Yet belong not to you.

rocking chair

Posted on Thu, 08 Aug 2019

Yes Richard, "somewhere they pause and remember" "generations of childhood". What would a porch be without a rocking chair? A witness from the cradle to the grave, a trusted friend.

By the way I really like the poems more,

helen or cleopatra

Indeed. They say one woman can bring a kingdom to it's knees. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

I know some good ones too, a cowboy one, "played five aces, now playing harp". Here is one for an unknown british soldier simply, "he didn't keep his head down".

trauma

Posted on Tue, 04 Jun 2019

Not quite so funny yes it can actually really be very traumatic to board a train especially when you're a kid and on your own. Or a bus maybe and worst honestly is to board an airplane- overseas. Once I got so terrified on a bus in primary school...

late-night show?

Posted on Mon, 03 Jun 2019

It doesn't make much sense to me Richard, all I can think is the after-midnight show. Heavy going. Anyway it's good.
