Sleep – Where and How to Find it
sorenbarrett said:

Well Dave I have to admit that I too have slept in chairs some comfy some not. But I still prefer the bed. As for the clock no clock you\'ll find in my bedroom I listen to the crickets, frogs and running stream unless there\'s a storm then I listen to the rain or when I\'m at my place close to the beach where I listen to the waves

You\'re too fun! My, my, my but I can\'t help dearly loving this charming little beauty! Delightfully rendered with an excellent sense of humor and rollicking imagery until who could resist it, not to mention a subtle poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

So the \'final word\' from me:
Let’s ignore the first half of T.15’s tirade above except to maybe look in your spare time at the way the term ‘love’ is used frequently on this site, but particularly by the complainant.
The issue in the ‘last note’ second half is worth a remark to the unbiased: The unvarying phrase I use when responding to poetry relating to war, but particularly those on the topic of the 9/11tragedy is “Innocent people die in war”. How could I ever suggest that was OK? What no ‘poet’ who has seen fit to respond negatively to that phrase has ever asked is ‘what war? If they had, then possibly a conversation might ensue…..

It really is a shame, but on a platform such as this with maybe thousands of folk queuing to get on board .. it\'s gonna happen every now and then, write .. I am a great believer in freedom of expression and know only too well that we can please a lot of folk some of the time, but not everyone, nor even most, all of the time .. it is also sad that sometimes, some folk inadvertently get the wrong end of the stick and go off on one, when a quick dubble check, or pm might resolve an issue before it develops and gets out of hand or too hot to handle .. I rarely read the comments of my reviewing predecessors, but I felt compelled to on this occasion .. and it is encouraging that so far, as far as I am concerned, only mature, sensible and rational contributions have been submitted .. and I kind of agree with all of em ..

P.S.
Having been a good friend of DA Dusk Arising, I reckon he wouldn\'t have been adverse to proposing a kiss n make up (strictly on the quiet tho) and I shall raise my glass to him tonight ..

P.P.S
Talking about old friends, if anyone would like my spare copy of \'Just a Poet, Just a Poem\' by the late great Kevin Browne please feel free to message me, I bought two in the hope his family might benefit .. I am happy to pay postage within the UK ..first come first served .. Neville

Nicely done, Dave. Love that last line. It\'s grey wet and miserable here. But in Manchester that\'s also the summer. :-)
