this is so true isn\'t it I know and have known so many who this could very easily apply to .. this is in fact so true and so good, it could become a conversation piece in its own write .. Neville

\"His so-called banter borders on bullying but he’s only having a laugh\",
A pain in the arse, Tom - a so called night out with the boys can be excruciating......👍

Seems I missed this one - apologies, Tom.
Unless it were possible to take those practical steps, then I, who usually find words reasonably easy, am no good utilising them in such situations. The words feel hollow.
So the cuppa and being there would be, as you point out, my best option, all I personally could do.
Thanks for that.

My mind wanders and I read this poem two ways. The first is someone that can\'t carry your burden but is there for you in spirit and available when needed. The other is the person that after the fact says they would have helped if they could have known, been there, on and on but instead offer you only lip service and tea. I prefer the first interpretation.

I\'ve been there too .. went with my folks when I was a nipper .. only have vague memories of the gingerbread shop but have much clear recollections of the great Wordsworth\'s grave .. Perfectly captured Tom a real treat sir .. Neville

The thoughts will always be there Tom and maybe one day they will become reality.
No sugar in my tea thank you.

You are, as my Dad would say, a Peach of a guy. Go heavy on the music.

My, how seductively you lead the soul to watering, tendering that much needed cuppa and friendly inquiry in finishing like twas to be expected. Wonderful. I love how delightfully you\'ve rendered this to perfection, then capped it off superbly. Thank you for sharing!

Words of caring Tom. Being there for someone in an hour of need. Every little helps. I have just returned from visiting my elderly aunt who has dementia. Many of the residents never get a visit. How heart breaking is that? That cup of tea and a chat will make someone’s day. A meaningful read.

You have so tastefully noted the issue of priorities where most people value immediate sensualgratification over lasting art or wisdom. Beautifully done my friend

The tourist experience: I loved my trips when they showed me some of the marvels provided in the world, detested it when I was forced to rub shoulders with SOME of my fellow tourists…
Your narrative style as usual makes its point without pushing it to exhaustion, Tom. Thanks for that.

What a wonderful visit you had Tom. I have been in Dove Cottage where Wordsworth lived. A few years back now, but it was such a fascinating experience. I love your poem. I didn’t find the ginger bread though:) Happy Thursday.

Where The Wild Grass Grows

I like the contrast between the beauty of nature and the sound of humanity in the background. It is as though one can immerse oneself in the natural world, but still have the backing of society. Very nicely worded.

There\'s \'Neighbours\' too, changed channels now, I think.
A prisoner chose 20 years in jail, rather than a week of having to watch \'Neighbours\' as his punishment! lol.

Well if truth is poetry you are a poet. What is imagination? It\'s what we think up, using our experiences, our memory, our language skills and some of our imaginative thoughts. It all rattles around in our brains and falls out as a poem we hope.
You poem describes your personal method of achieving poetic success. Let it be so. - Phil A.
