Just off to the wet wilds of Wales for a week where there will be seriously nothing to look at beyond sea, sky, hills and sheep! Definitely no internet access this time - you will all be missed greatly: no bull!! LOL Kate xx
BEHIND
We set such great store
on saving our face,
emitting high style
with wit, charm and grace
But in order to get
a right-balanced view,
it's the back that needs seeing
plus the front of me, too!
The face without make-up
and clothes on the floor;
all the junk that's crammed tight
behind locked cupboard door
The mould in the frig
the cooker that's caked;
the words and the promises
- made but half-baked...
Stunning impressions
are easy to feign
but a sweat and a struggle
to keep and maintain
Like loud and proud peacock
tail high in the air,
we might look quite different
viewed from derriere!
Kept just out of view,
sad truth you will find:
Forget what's in front
and look straight behind!
I LOVE this! Your humor...the rhythm and the lead-in about Wales...all so beautifully placed together. You are an exceptionall writer with an uncanny gift of framing your works very well.

I love these lines...maybe because a number
of them mirror me (i.e. begin with the cupboard).
Hugs.
Enjoy your trip to Wales.
