Concurrences & coincidences of course - I've experienced some, 1 has a rather rare & slightly prized blood type & it's exactly the same as my Mum. Plus I was born within 12 miles of woodland & sometimes I think I'm a tree, concurrences & coincidences - life's a mystery (!) ...

a brief plea
My occasional Godson, Jeremy reliably informed me that poetry will be extinct by the year 2040. Please give what you can ...
their rules…
Yes, the number 13 can be frightening for some, triskaidekaphobic types the scare of GOD & RUN. But the number 14 well, that terrifies bakers, they squirm into a bag of nerves so fearful these creators ...
upon consuming parsnips before the 1st frost
Upon consuming parsnips before the 1st frost, I realised the folly of my ways & now all hope is lost. They didn't taste as flavoursome plus to make matters worse - I may well have provoked some yokel wrath some shunned folk saying curse ...
the bonus hour

a fossil-related poem
Will we too in turn - due course become fossilized, i.e petrified but not terrified & thoroughly behind the times ? Only to be rediscovered & reappear so very alien like a Space Vole or Ginger Chimera ? - 'Look Dad, it's from The Vaguely Poetic Era' ...
