In Between, Too Tense

Hmm, "maybe for fun, maybe as a warning". Bit of both.
Thought this was good, Ron. Concise and to the point. I can relate to your first stanza, "the gossip gutter" indeed. Frustrating, when rumours come between people.
Two tents but no halfway house eh? Wink

Thanks Ron, enjoyed.

Cheers Tim,

Yeah, here is the latest message from Rumour Control: 'Local shops and post offices are good sources of information,' said the spokeswoman from No.44 Strange Avenue.

I concur with the previous poster.

"Nothing is, without thinking making it so." or was it Nietsche(?) who said something vaguely like, "A lie when uttered a thousand times though not the truth is no longer a lie."

Brian.

The reviewer would appreciate your comments on: Twin Towers-Retrospect

Ron · [Sat Apr 28, 2007 11:24 am]

Hello Brian,

Didn't Goebbels follow/twist Nietzsche's philosophy when he said, 'Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it.'?

Thanks for commenting and, yes, I'll nip over to your piece now. Thanks for the invite. Very Happy

Ron.

Thanks for the read, Ron. A beautiful piece that really made me think. I'm always amazed how some people can just reel off the words so effortlessly.

Cheers

JJ

Thanks, JJ, much appreciated. Very Happy

It's all a question of just relaxing, really, and not worrying that you may be making a balls-up as you write. If you are trying to write something you believe in, then there is no inner conflict with what's in your mind and what comes out onto the page. You just speak. Wink

All the best and thanks for dropping by my mind again. Cool

I'm always making a balls up of things, Ron. But you know what they say, if you don't try something you'll never know...

Hi
Have to say Ron the twist from the kind of lyrical n 19century style language to falling between two tents just gave me visions of Carry on Camping or something but there is some kind of accomplished rhyme going on that kind of made me intrigued.
Thanks j

Hi, J

Thanks a lot, nice to speak to you again. Cool

Some things just flow, hey. I was pleased with this one too, and pleased also that you liked it.

Interesting read that has me wondering. Have to read it a few more times.

Hi Ron, this title reminds me of a sketch I saw with Victoria Woods and some other woman who somehow ended up on the welsh hillside with a tent to put up. VW says to the other girl, 'You do it......you have done it loads of times before' whereupon the girl looks at her and says she never has.
'Yes you have, your mother said you had.' says VW
'Why would she say that? I've never done any camping before'
VW says, 'When I spoke to her she said you were always intense as a girl.' I still cant see any reference to tents without thinking of it. lol......xxxxxxxx

ps, nifty little bit of writing....good one! x

Haven't seen that sketch, scribs, but VW is cool Laughing

Glad you liked this flash, some things just blurt themselves out. Laughing
