I just love the English country side, the harbor towns and Europe in general. Been a long time since I was back, but your poem brings it all alive again! Thanks Fay!

Michael Edwards said:

A beautiful part of the country - the photo also puts me in mind of Robin Hoods Bay where about 18 months ago I drove down to the bottom (big mistake) and I stopped to allow a car coming towards me to get by and he clouted my nearside wing. Anyway this also a beauty of a poem Fay - really brings the place alive.

Thanks FAY for introducing the important topic of wind ! It is Mother Natures way of dissipating all the gaseous pollution Industrial Man pours into the atmosphere each day ! Carbon dioxide ~ acid forming Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide etc. It is also an important factor in the Water Cycle. The WIND cleanses and provides ! However as you poem suggests we always want the Wind at our back and for it to be soft and warm and not a hurricane ! Your Meteorologically BRIAN ! Love the visual so so evocative !

Pity Him.
FredPeyer said:

There are no winners in any war, only losers. While I admire and am thankful for those who fight, I am also sad that in thousands of years mankind has not found a better way to deal with conflict. The saddest part is that these young men and women are the future of our country. Fay, every politician and leader should get a copy of your poem!

Pity Him.
Michael Edwards said:

It\'s already been said above - I sometimes wonder at the insanity of it all when we send our forces to far points of the globe for what appear to be unwarranted conflicts ( Iraq is the prime example) - super work Fay.

Superb write. So many return with hidden scars yet they are dismissed by those in power. I have seen many like this and seem to have no way of escape from their terror in their minds.

War is the definition of insanity ... yet has remained a favorite pastime of man for millennia. Go figure. Your beautifully displayed poem says it well, Fay!

A sad beauty. It\'s a little like when your children fly from the nest and you have little of a part in their days anymore. Sad to wrest the human touch from such a noble work.

Thanks fr for another elegant and nostalgic POEM ! Even in my short lifetime I have seen things once sacred (audio tapes & video tapes & pressure cookers etc) become outmoded and discarded ! I love LIGHTHOUSES and thank God many are under preservation orders ! Your poem highlights the bravery and diligence of those who once bravely manned them ~ their fortitude will never be replaced ! Thanks for caring FAY ~ Yours as ever BRIAN !

My Dear Poetess Fay...
I enjoyed this write immensely!
It brought to mind beautiful
memories of me holding my
daughter and rocking her to
sleep! We spent many precious moments in our rocking chair! Thank you for sharing your exceptional talent!📃

FredPeyer said:

Fay, your chair and beautiful poem started a bunch of thoughts of what old furniture, walls, houses, could tell us. Maybe the chair stopped rocking, but you, dear Fay, just keep on rocking with your writing!

I loved this, those old chairs are so full of character. My grandfather used to share stories while rocking in one of those and myself a jockey on his knee.

Ah, that wise old rocker has probably seen more butts than an ashtray. Sorry to sully your fine poem like that, Fay ... I couldn\'t resist. Cheers.
