Wow, I am very impressed!! Great variation of forms, thoroughly enjoyed. Smiled at the first poem (was it a villanelle). Thought of Dylan Thomas' Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night'. Dylan Thomas......ahhhhhh. (My very fave is Under Milk Wood.)
Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed your skilled and engaging poetry.
Thank you so much Sarah - that’s the biggest compliment anyone could pay me! Big fan of DT. It’s not a villanelle- I don’t know what it is - just me messing with haiku! 😂
I didn’t misread it… I thought you meant that leaving teardrops on a spoon in sunlight would evaporate away to salt…which was then sprinkled on boiled eggs… A circle of life process.
Delicious! This has made my morning especially since, having ventured to the supermarket to stockpile cat food, the beast has helped himself to my cream horn 🙈 so I’m appreciative of cheer
Very good, I must get down to the clarity shop myself some time.
Thanks Jim! Be prepared! 😂

We have known one or two wandering stars, so the last stanza of Rachel’s poem made me lol …
By contrast I found the idea of flavouring eggs with salt from tears in Moving On clever and cathartic.
Thank you so much Tony! I’m not sure where the egg-salt one came from! 😂

Exactly! I just meant it came out of nowhere for me! 😂
Thoroughly enjoyed this selection, thank you!
Thanks Helen!
