Indeed, gims. I marvel at these words, their very power to call up such tranquility, such calm.

Yep, MA. They had it on BBC yesterday and mentioned that it was written by Keira Knightley's mother. I wish someone had done a film about DT when Richard Burton was alive. They were very close friends and Burton knew Thomas' angst and had an insight into DT's character which I suppose came from a shared Welsh background. Did you know that Burton was buried with one of DT's books? So they say. I await release of the film on DVD. It's the only way I get to see films nowadays. You should also get your poems published, MA. Have you thought to read them at the Edinburgh festival's poets corner?

Lola I have been working on a YEAR.About each month with a slant.. That will be 12..with others about each season. The Book Festival..I am an attender.Indeed ticket arrived today.
I have more than one for April..yet to decide.I see the months as people..depending on what the weather is doing. Here's one that is already aired.
April ©
Fife, Scotland 2006
The lamb walks gently towards April Our reward for enduring earlier blizzards Gently closing March’s gate Spring showers bringing greeness
Buds unfurling like babies hands Unblemished and perfect A cradle for blossom Cream pink and bridal white
Before the grass grows too long Just for a day or two The garden is like a postcard Or the scenery in a musical show
Grasp this day hold the dear memory For it's scenes like this that endure When winter chills the heart And the land seems to lie sleeping
For you Lola

Mountain Ash, I would love a book of your poems...what a cherished book that would be. Am I to understand that you're putting one together?
