\' Told you I would be trailing way behind - and so it comes to pass!
What gets through to me though is the horror of the whole damn thing - layer after layer.

The fact that the pills inspired an enjoyable poem is great.
You wouldn\'t care to expand on homeopathic, placebo and cure, by any chance, would you?

Thank you! I\'m learning how to format on this WordPress site. I see that you too have figured out how to defeat the dread middle axis it defaults to!

Well certainly not the Rubáiyát as such, but Edward FitzGerald of course - now hidden away somewhere in my bookcase.... That translation took on a life of its own!

Please keep posting - I\'ll follow, or rather trail, far behind but still learn much in the process, I think.

Yes, strangely, he was told to go and marry this \'strange woman\' or \'loose woman\'. I think it was because it symbolised God\'s people\'s relationship with him - prone to be unfaithful, spiritually adulterous.

If only we knew religion in the spirit of your writing here I\'m sure it would have a far more joyous presence in 21st century U.K.

Nice one!

Good write Robert.
My poems, and some other poets, seem to be \'middle axis\'. When typing them up they start from the left, then appear middle-centred!
