This is too much for the Shoutbox. A typical tale. For you, perhaps? :wink: Do you delight in expressing the dark side of the mind? An unwanted baby. ...
Good to hear. You need to turn back 17hrs to follow my chat with @"Jamal" starting: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/28/the-shoutbox/p1331 Ju...
This is a fascinating 2003 interview with 'Anne Gregory', then Anne de Winton in her mid-80's, living in Devon: A dual identity. Anglo-Irish. Fair eno...
Back to reality. The poet as. The detached onlooker. Lonely like Eleanor Rigby. Or an old lady singing ''Feed the birds, tuppence a bag''. So sad :cry...
Brilliant :rofl: Now, Dancing Queen @"Hanover", how about applying your genius and give us a 4-liner on: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/123...
You don't have to guess when you have the internet! It's quite fascinating. The overlap. Perhaps it's easier for poets to become novelists than v.v.? ...
Fair enough. It does lie in what inspires you. Or what you are open to... I thought it might be a challenge to the mind; to think or express in a diff...
Why would you be unable? Why unwilling? Basically, a follow-up to a current thread and its musings: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/13562/po...
A question to all TPF Short Story writers : Would you be able, or willing, to condense, or transform, the story into a poem? Or a fellow author's? for...
If there aren't any, then you could make one up, non? There's a section, here: https://brianbilston.com/category/poems-about-poems/ I'm not sure I lik...
Thanks for reminding me of haiku; how it is expressed and felt. Yes, there is a sense of loss and nostalgia for how things used to be. Loneliness. But...
A quick first read and thoughts: Who is Anne Gregory? Someone Yeats cares for. He speaks to her and there is a conversation about love and its conditi...
Yes, it took me by surprise when I read his opening words: I thought that doesn't sound like him ( from the little I know). 'Chancers and scroungers. ...
OK. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I hope you will be able to pick up earlier questions and respond. It's difficult when the flow is bro...
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Yes, it's difficult to rewind to particular moments when something clicks in your brain in the learning proces...
For comparison, I think the short (pocket-size) version is better to read aloud and remember. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot ...
Thank you, you are always so kind :sparkle: I'll try. But as you say, there are no guarantees :wink: You too. You stick around too :hearts: Oh dear, i...
I meant to mention the title: 'The Serenity Prayer'. The original version I love ( minus the God reference). Used in AA meetings, I believe. Perhaps, ...
I think it's not just age. @"javi2541997" is right. Your life practice would seem to be rooted in certain kinds of wisdom. Come on. It won't kill ya t...
Thanks for the introduction. Most enjoyable :up: Indeed. Brian is sharing his feelings and hits the nail on the head. We get it, immediately. I laughe...
The only relief I have right now is that Trump is no longer US President. Please, please keep it that way! Truss + Trump = Tragedy :rage: I'm beyond w...

I had a similar but not quite so intense an experience in Pilates. I needed to know how to think about the movement and what it was supposed to achiev...
Appreciate the follow-up to something I hadn't thought of as 'intriguing' when I wrote it. What was the lead-up to this idea? I need to backtrack: So,...

I love this almost poetic description and the timings, how are they arrived at? That makes complete sense. Developing a keen observation of thoughts, ...
