Congratulations on the Koestler award. Your poem drips with yearning. I have read most of Koestler’s writing which is excellent and even enjoyed the later more *esoteric* stuff. I am also a convinced supporter of the Koestler Foundation’s work which I saw was extremely helpful to many Prisoners. I am more of a consumer than a *creative* but what helps is good. .
*The raging rocks
With shivering shocks
Shall break the locks
Of Prison gates*
(Shakespeare -Midsummer Night’s Dream Pt1)
*She smiled: Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real. The events that cause them can never be forgotten -can they?* (Cormac McCarthy-*The Border Trilogy*)

She smiled!
Thanks for your comments and for the great quotes, John. It’s much appreciated.
Congratulations! I guess your poem is displayed near this one:
Pond life
A little fish swims
A bigger fish soon appears
The big fish remains
I’m not sure where it’s displayed, K. It I find out and you’re right though, I’ll be sure to let you know!
A few words can say so much ! I love it 🙂 Congratulations on the Koestler award !
Thanks very much!
