as you get older
you’ll need to adapt, or you’ll just die,
stated the suave
young businessman
in the pub
change all you
like but you’ll still
end up dead,
the scruffy old git
in the corner,
his mouth full of meat pie,

In the few pieces of your work I've engaged with since joining this site today, the standout quality I'm picking up on (and moreover the reason I'm now following you) is that your poetry seems to me to have the quality of impressionist painting. The whole scene is encapsulated just by the snapshot, and with such brevity at that- I hope I can write that powerfully some day.

I agree, there is a time for everything "... a time to be born, a time to die ..."
And given the number of stray cats around here, I'm sure glad the dinosaurs died out, irksome beasts.

a well written moment.
this is part of what poetry is.
taking a moment, and capturing it with words.
(and perhaps some wisdom in the middle)
i think i found a new follow
keep up the good work my friend!
