I'm in a quiet and gentle mood tonight. I've been trying to write a poem I've in my head for a couple of weeks now but its not coming which is a pain but sometimes is just like that. One or two poems have taken months until they have found their right shape.
I've just watched the last episode of Marion and Geoff. I have to say this has been one of the best things I have seen on TV for quiet some time. The writing is superb and they are not afraid of using silence or a look or gesture to get a point across. I am not ashamed to say I had a tear in my eye at the end either.
Oh well I'm off to bed now - lots to do tomorrow. There was a thing on the radio this morning about anti-war poetry. I got to thinking about what I'd write and remembered this poem:
Many (HTML)
which I wrote during the Afghanistan war. Its not quiet as explicitly anti-war as some of the stuff on that web site but then again thats not really my style.
