Rincewind Posted 27 May 2012 Author Posted 27 May 2012 Book out Tuesday so I thought it would be a good time to bump this. I forget the name of this rhyme form. Somebody showed me a similar one they had done. Writers Block Writing random words refined. Rescued from the hidden mind. Inspirational thoughts are lurking Trying to show their true colours. Emotional feelings about ones life Rescued from the hidden mind. Secrets hoping to be refined. Brain moves into overdrive Looking somehow to revive. Overstretch thoughts erratic. Close to being a self-hater Knock on door, will finish later.

Rincewind Posted 28 May 2012 Author Posted 28 May 2012 Just redone an old short story into a poem. Not sure if it wrks as its in long and and this is the first typing draft. Green Fingers David, who when the time to retire Thought he'd have a quiet life But it was then that he discovered That he had a nagging wife. He acquired an allotment to pass the time An hour or two of solitude out of the house. A relaxing day in the sun. Far away from the spouse. Then one day he had a shock. While relaxing with a cold beer. In the distance, rolling down the path, A nightmare come true, his worst fear. His wife came ever closer. Wearing a massive grin. She put out her arms to greet. And kissed him on the chin. 'I have come to help you' She said with a smile. 'I can come here every day. And be with you for a while' Now he did not fancy this. And tried gently to decline. But his wife insisted. Said together they must spend more time. So he asked her 'what would you like to do.?' 'Oh just give me the spade.' she said. So reluctantly he did as she asked And brought the spade down on her head. So he dug a new plot. And buried her in the ground. Her skill in the garden was proved true. With a good harvest all year round. But he was eventually caught. And how was most absurd. For his wife had the final say. As always had the last word. He goes over the day again and again. As in his cell he lingers. For what was seen poking out the ground. Were two solitary green fingers. Printed it off and read it to my self a few times and now for some strange reason the lyrics to Ernie by Benny Hill has popped in my head.
Rincewind Posted 28 May 2012 Author Posted 28 May 2012 Updated hopefully improved. Ken Duddle ReadPoems by Ken Duddle Form: I do not know? | + Fav Poet| + Fav Poem | Comment | Email | Print Dedicated to all the Daves, Davies and Davids on Foxestalk. Green Fingers Dave, who when his time came to retire Thought he'd have a quiet life But instead he soon discovered That he had a nagging wife. He acquired an allotment to pass the time An hour or two of solitude out of the house. A relaxing day in the summer sun. Far away from the over bearing spouse. Then one day he had a shock. While relaxing with a cold beer. In the distance, rolling down the path, A nightmare come true, his worst fear. His wife came ever closer. Wearing a massive grin. She put out her arms to greet. And kissed him on the chin. 'I have come to help you' She said with a smile. 'I will come here every day. And be with you for a quite a while' Now he did not fancy this one bit. And tried gently to decline. But his wife insisted. and said together They must spend more time. So he asked her 'what would you like to do.?' 'Oh just give me the spade.' she said. So reluctantly he did as she asked And brought the spade down on her head. Then he dug a fresh new plot. And buried her in the ground. Her skill in the garden was proved true. With a good harvest all year round. But he was eventually caught. And how was most absurd. For his wife had the final say. As always had the last word. Of his fruit and veg Dave was proud Set up a business, sold door to door. Until somebody noticed something sprout. It was not a spring onion they saw. Dave goes over the day again and again. As in his cell he lingers. For what was seen poking out the ground. Were two solitary green fingers.

Rincewind Posted 11 June 2012 Author Posted 11 June 2012 Bugger Just looked at one of my email addresses for the first time today and found this. > Hi Ken > > > > Hopefully you’ll get this in the next 30 mins as you didn’t leave a contact > number……………. > > > > We were hoping to talk on the lunch show at 12.10 about Michael Gove’s > proposal to make poetry compulsory for school kids from the age of 5 and you > would be perfect to talk on how important this would be for our local > schools, as a local poet. Would you be free to come on the show at 12.10 > today? We can do it over the phone if you can’t make it in. Many thanks Sally Pepper Lunchtime Presenter (12-3) BBC Radio Leicester 0116 201 6660 N ot sure how I would feel doing it. Not sure if I have the expertise to speak on the subject. Anyway emailed back and left alternative contact details. Will wait and see if they are still interested..
Rincewind Posted 11 June 2012 Author Posted 11 June 2012 That's what I'm afraid of. People actually tuning in to listen to me waffle about poetry.
Webbo Posted 11 June 2012 Posted 11 June 2012 Worry not Ken we're all cultured men. We won't think our worse for your discussion of verse.
Guest Posted 11 June 2012 Posted 11 June 2012 Congratulations on the invite Ken. Loved the foxestalk poem btw.
Rincewind Posted 11 June 2012 Author Posted 11 June 2012 Don't know when it will happen. Her show is on 12-3 so may get a call another day now she has my Tel numbers. But I think the invite was latish. She said if you can respond in the next 30 mins It was only sent today. She may have put aside a time slot for the subject. I don't know how they work it. Don't normally listen to RL only the footie.
