Thank goodness for sat nav the sailor\'s modern day saviour. But what on earth they\'d use if a war broke out and the satellites were shot down..... black rock would score again methinks.
A poem each cornish seaman should be aware of though twould be too negative to dwell upon.
There sure are some nasties to come a cropper on Cornwalls coastline..... of course, much used by bad persons in the past who would lure ships onto the rocks with murderous intent for their cargo.
Grim reading today Fay.

A fine sea write Fay. As I say, the only water-life I might see, is the pond at the back of the Co-op. Well, there\'s a river a couple of miles away too!

Those times were so hard that we have no real idea except through what we have been told but those hard times are still with us but the forms are now so refined that they may not be seen until it is too late.
Wonderful words Fay.

Those mines were nothing like we see portrayed in Poldark on TV. Many were beneath the sea and cave ins meant flooding and drownings. Also there were the poisonous metals with leeched into the body killing many in mysterious deaths causes then unknown to science.
My family name eminates from St Buryans in the far west of Cornwall. There\'s tin in my blood. Who knows how many of my family line endured what you describe.
Harsh lives recounted in your piece today. A tribute to Cornwall\'s mining heritage. Accompanying the landscape which proudly bares the scars of mining with prominent engine houses visible for miles. A walk around the remains at St Just was quite an education for me back in the 70\'s.
Very enjoyable read.

I have often been impressed with the way your poems look, obviously less important than the way they read and sound, but nevertheless, I think important... This is not only a grand sounding poem, but a fine example of a good looker too..... Neville

BUT by October it will all be OBER and we will be together Body - Soul - Sprit FOREVER - AMEN ! Thanks for caring & sharing. Love the VISUAL - THAT IS ME !!!!!! LAMENTING THE 11,500 MILES BETWEEN ME & BRIAN - SO SO SAD - Roll on OCTOBER !

Being on your own, as I virtually am now you need not feel lonely, there are still so many things to pull you from feeling lonely, being alone can be therapeutic.

All of the above! Except loneliness.
Singleton is simple and so many people are living the singleton life - either well or poorly. For me i live it well but that doesn\'t mean i live without desire.
Good questions you pose but many will find them uncomfortable to dwell upon.

Some times going it alone is forced on one and hurts like hell... conversely.......I quite like that term in a poetry review
Nothing could be better if it was engineered and intentional....
