Poetry Called

Tom Dylan


Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

On a snowy January morning

when the festivities felt

so long ago,

there was a knock on my door.

Poetry stood on my doorstep

smiling.

I invited her in and

put the kettle on.

    "Have you read my book? It's called, 'In, Out, Put the Kettle On'".
    By Billy Bleach!

    Sorry, Tom. I couldn't help it. Well, I could to be honest.
    Atmospheric write Tom.

          • Cheeky Missy

            There's nothing quite like an old friend dropping in for a spot of tea and etc, is there? Oh! How delightfully rendered to effect with excellent imagery and a waltzing poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

              The ‘Welcome Mat’ is always there for Poetry and his friend Prose. Come in , have a cup of Tea and a Chocolate digestive.
              ( Other Biscuits are available for the general public). Good one.
