Oh - and here's mine
How it Grew
You were on the edge of my world
Just one of those
The ones I see at parties
Friend of friends
Eventually over fifteen years
or so
by forces of magnets and magic
and wires and string
and drink and chocolate
and buttons and wings
becoming my friend too
And that means
we could talk
Not that we do
I could call you
If I'm in town
for a brew
If I'm down
or a walk
for my frown
or a chew
of a mound of limes
or amew-sing sounding times
who knew?
- how it grew
or where it'll end
me & an old new-found friend
you
Again a little pressie for those who made it this far!!

Like the poem, particularly the first half - By forces of magnets and magic and wires and string and drink and chocolate and buttons and wings - really nice stuff.
Our dog digs holes in our lawn, but not with that sort of intent. Do you think it was phantom bone, or is there actually something buried there???
I'd like to hop on board, if I can. - www.fictionalfictionwriter.blogspot.com
Thanks for the drive :)
Hi Niamh, admire the smoothness of your driving. I'm finally up (story of my life)

Hey Watercats - i like the way you read it, by the sounds of it, glad you joined us as always!
Hi Rachel - welcome again!!
Swiss - if that's lack of sleep I say "Sleep no more!"
Hi PF - thanks a mill, she's trying to get all the stones out of the lawn I think... Anyway - welcome aboard, looking forward to giving you the keys!
Hey Peter, glad you got it up finally!! Welcome aboard, plenty of seats down the back
Great driving this week Niamh, and I really enjoyed reading yours out loud. You do sound so well.
Lovely bus trip, inspired fellow travellers.
Aw thanks so much Titus! You're v sweet...
Forgot to mention, I enjoyed the poem tremendously, though I think its a more read aloud poem. Love all the -oo rhymes at the end and the notion of becoming friends by wire and string!
finally!
