A true story, one in which the ripples of the original stone thrown are still lapping and swirling around the shores of my own private Hell.

Veemem - August 26, 2008
Well Tina I have to admit feeling venomous when I wrote it, particularly the first part. It was just to get some bile out of my system and not really meant for other eyes, later that day I was listening to Neil's The Essential Neil Diamond in my conservatory just as described in the poem, so I just jotted down my thoughts. I don't know if you clicked onto the link to give the reader an idea what the piece was all about. It's still very much in my mind but I'm beginning to feel able to talk a little about the awful event. As to Neil himself I missed him at Glastonbury but caught his show on TV later that week But in 2005 My Daughter and I were lucky enough to see him at the NEC in Birmingham and he was absolutely astounding . He still has that magic. Val

orangedream - August 26, 2008
The venom in this one is almost tangible, Val. And speaking of Neil Diamond as you were - one of the all-time greats, surely and he's still going strong. Saw him on TV the other day when he was at Glastonbury earlier this year.

	orangedream - August 26, 2008 Val, Carug. Thank you for reading. It was a harrowing poem to write, but something I had to do. Tina
	Veemem - August 25, 2008 I agree with Carmen 100%. You are always so good at choosing the perfect words to express an emotion. A beautifully written piece. Val x
	carug - August 24, 2008 Powerful expression. It's hard for most people who haven't experience pain, to understand what it does to the emotions. Carmen

This made a great impact on me, Carug. Beautifully written. I lost my mother to Alzheimers when she was only 63, also a dear aunt. It is probably the cruellest of diseases, but the latest research sounds promising, so we can all but hope. There, but by the grace of whatever god we believe in, go all of us.

	orangedream - August 19, 2008 An interesting poem that highlights the change in the woman's role in society over the last forty or so years, in the western world at least. Nice one, Val. Tina

	Gerry. - August 15, 2008 Life just isn't the same anymore Val. What thrilled us wouldn't register with the youth of today. Innocence is gone... Gerry xxx.
	sunken - August 15, 2008 Dear Ms. Val, I have a pair of plums you might want to squeeze (-; They're proper ripe and no mistake. Ahem. Do you think they'll throw me off this site eventually? s u n k e n he likes having his plums squeezed
	Veemem - August 15, 2008 Thanks Tina, glad you could appreciate the nostalgia, Val x
	orangedream - August 14, 2008 Another life, another age, perhaps. I too have a similar memory, scrumping apples from the 'posh' orchard of a nearby mansion in South West London in the nineteen sixties. Life has moved on - but cameos like this are priceless. Another life, another age, perhaps. Beautifully done, Val. Tina x

	sunken - August 15, 2008 Thanks for reading, Ms. Orange and Val (even tho the titles cocked up). I think I was a bit drunk when I subbed it. That's my excuse. I've tried getting it put right but I think I've cocked that up too )-: s u n k s should be left alone with a computer
	Veemem - August 15, 2008 I loved reading this again, it just cracks me up. I adore your honesty Mr Sunks, you know, it's the quiet taciturn types you have to watch... Val x
	orangedream - August 14, 2008 For once, Mr. Sunks, I am speechless! The graphics - the poem. Poetry in motion. Actually, there was a good song once called just that. And just to let you know, I shielded Mr. O's eyes from both the pome and the piccy. Excitement is not good for him. He has enough of that with his brassicas:-) Ms. Orange
