For some reason this brought to mind the old genesis song...Ripples... which of course I had listen to and was reminded how much I love it. That's what I love about poetry... how a few short words can have a knock on effect... X

Ah, this is the one I was thinking to reply to 
A firecracker I'm sure are you!
You know what I remember about your days in England you said, is the ones you were
Kept in doors in the pubs when you were
Younger. 
Pubs in England, with English men?
Must have been wild,
Or do you think Aussie pubs are wild?
Lol. Just wanna say
To be sure you're a firecracker,
On account of liking my crumb brake of words, anyways. Cheers, mate

I don't remember ever telling you I was stuck in pubs when I was younger, I remember with great fondness being in the wonderful English pubs surrounded by my friends, we used to go on some fab pub crawls, as for firecracker it means many things, for me is a strength of being, I don't let all the shit get me down ever, and there is a lot of shit in England, mainly family dramas but I'm done now, I live elsewhere and I'm not going to think or worry for all that's been. Thank you Rory, I like your stuff because you write from your soul, I don't just tell you because I feel sorry or a duty, I don't even go to the pages of those I don't like or enjoy. Take care dear friend, and try to learn to believe in yourself there is no greater strength 🌹

I fear it's the opposite,
That my lack of faith is in man
And not myself
