Imagine

November 22, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in atheism, History, poetry, science

The confidence with

which some people tell

me what their silent

and invisible

imaginary

friend is thinking and

demanding of them

is always stunning.

Toe the line

A strong belief in

Homeopathy

would not survive an

attempt to treat a

severe case of Gout

in a Big Toe joint.

Riddle me this

November 9, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in Bon mots, History, poetry, politics

There are just

two kinds of

people in

the world. Those

who ask the

questions and

those who think

they know all

the answers.

A breath

Norwegian would do

October 25, 2020October 26, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in climate change, History, poetry, politics

Skarsvag

looks like

the kind

of place

that might

be just

about

as far

away

as you

can get

from the

madness

of the

World.

Toe the line

October 25, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in poetry

Some illness

is shy, stays

hidden from

view, makes no

fuss. Gout grabs

you by the

throat and then

demands full

attention.

76 Candles

October 22, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in poetry

I remember,

as a child, how

I would have to

wait years, many

years it seemed,

for the day of

my next birthday.

Now each new one

arrives only

a month or so

apart and I

would rather they

slowed down again.

Lost in space

October 17, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in poetry

Inside

every

old man

is a

young man

trying

to work

out where

the hell

he is.

We’re all individuals

October 16, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

Cabbage White

butterflies

seem boring

to me. All

exactly

the same in

their looks and

behaviour.

But I guess

they don’t seem

like that to

each other.
