just a short walk down to the betting shop down Ginger Hill past the carpenter's hut all curled yellow shavings flowing out the door and waving in the wind long ago when the sun shone bright a little village by Glasgow surrounded by forest and field and moor running in summer days walking by lakes and sun warmed places lying in beds cool and protected we were so lucky but didn't know visits to wild places at blackest midnight pale under the moon and stars walking together close friends comfortable with years happy to be there safe in a timeless world days upon days easy without stress blessed and lucky ageing so slowly in a disappearing world though we didn't know it eternal we were without thought just being among that peace (I'm struggling at the moment to write any poems at all - maybe it's the heat - 30°+ here at the moment! This one is my vain attempt to break through the block...!  |

Well Alan, I think the block has been broken through. And very nicely I might add. Fantastic read. Juls |

Allan; If this is your poetry during a dry spell, I can't wait to see what happens when you are inspired! i love the flow and gentle feel of this poem, beautiful! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

~Allan,...I have to tell you that I am ever so glad that I decided to stop by this one. Ooh, a gentle little ride through and by this place. *sigh*,...this one I would love to hear read to me...sitting peacefully, eyes closed,....and calm. *sigh* aaah. Don't think I'm nuts please. Your words are just so soft and pleasing to me. Thank you for this. Take care of yourself. *Peace. |

Thank you for all your very kind comments... Spitfire, that's a lovely idea, best place would be in The Best Bar, Main Street, Milngavie (pron. Millguy) the village (my hometown)... If we could just be be magically transported back about 30 years or so.... |

Allan I do believe that your block must have been overcome. This is outstanding, you just took me back to a wonderful time in life with your words. Ginger Hill, felt as if I were there. Beautiful piece. Bonnie |

Well now, I wouldn't call that struggling, allan, you daft thing. You had me longing for a past I didn't experience! Count yourself lucky you're getting at bit of sun btw, it IS meant to be summer, remember, though it's difficult to recall that fact in these parts, this year. I remember when ...

Allan~ 'walking together close friends comfortable with years' The best walks are with those kind of friends. A lovely write. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
