"The Way We Heard" - All you need is Love- 1967

Not sure if I followed the directive for the challenge but this is how I viewed the year 1967 in my own youth, and why the choice of song was inspirational to me, and still is.

The late 60’s and 70’s were formative years for me too.I am there with you Jenny. The music fed our souls. The days of youth were awareness personified and anything was possible, felt possible, and the music was the background to it all. Losing a...

Posted on Fri, 07 Jan 2022

Lovely walk on a crisp wintry day and fully appreciated, I am sure, after an illness has passed. I was happy to hear you are over it and much enjoyed this stroll over the icy path, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the quiet, frosty...

I love poems of nature and this is so beautifully descriptive, I could see the petals wanting to unfurl, feel the anticipation of that moment. This is such a well written piece of poetry I will surely read this many more times. Thank you for...

So dimensional this corner

Posted on Mon, 24 May 2021

So multi-dimensional this corner poet - I can see the human spirit and your ending line brings the pain into focus. And the first lines "the only even prime is two" is something to ponder. (no man is an island, or shouldn't be)-  Thank you for...

‘Doily old’ struck a chord

Posted on Mon, 02 Sep 2019

Thank you. When I received

Posted on Fri, 03 May 2019

Thank you. When I received 1944 as the random year, it was all I could think of, the batlle where a realtive of mine died on Christmas Eve. I thought it so sad that he had died on that day, not that death on any other day would have been less sad...

Don't apologize, They were
