THE HANGOVER

For Sunday Whirl: Morning, Bend, Bear, Unstable, Wild, Retreat, Fallen, Meadow, Rock, Bridge, Island, Lane.

PART I

Bird song beckons the morning

It's driving me round the bend!

I'm a bear with a sore head

Still a little unstable

After another wild night

 

PART II

When they sounded the retreat

I must have fallen asleep

Just the meadow for a bed

And a rock for a pillow

 

PART III 

Now I have to cross a bridge

Get off this traffic island

And back into the fast lane...

 

 

 

 

 

 



HOTEL 27 REVIEW

Review by: ian biro on May 21, 2013 :

This is a story about an Englishman called Michael Falcon who went to Thailand, and found an unspoilt paradise in the northern province of Isan. It’s also very much about his legendary son, the incredible baby elephant, Changnoi.

From suburban south Manchester to the seedy streets of Bangkok and the relatively unspoilt islands of Ko Sichang and Ko Samet then back across the seas to Edinburgh and Manchester before returning to the land of the smile, and discovering a remote Isan village.

The tale is narrated at a fast and furious pace in a poetic way, and I for one, couldn’t close this book until I’d read it from cover to cover. Of course this adventure wouldn’t have been possible without Mok, the mother of the famous Changnoi and the faithful woman behind the intrepid Michael.

X FILES

Prepare for a Master Class
in solving complex problems...

Start by following the tracks
that lead from the gas station
to the edge of the forest.

The answers are all out there...

The files still lie unopened
in their pale, faded folders.

So try not to leave a mess!

WORDLE #113

For Sunday Whirl: Chattering, Splits, Scoop, Moonshine, Anything, Giggle, Crazy, Load, Sense, Cut, Cave, Wake, Shatters.

CHEERS...!

A guy walks into a bar
teeth chattering from the cold

Splits a fifty note to buy
a scoop or two of moonshine

Anything for a giggle

Says - I know this sounds crazy
and won't make a load of sense
so I'll just cut to the chase...

Cave paintings depict our dreams!

So I try not to wake up...
It shatters the illusion...

WORDLE #112

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

Just updating my status
on my mobile Facebook page.
Taking a rest from traffic
as I park close to the curb.

'Shimmering steps spill their guts
out onto the rain-soaked yard.
Sky above spewing thunder
and random jets of lightning...'
