Introduction: This is a kind of story poem. I was asked to write an autobiographical poem based on one of our five senses and told to think 'jazz'. I used Tomaz Salamun's poem I smell Horses in Poland as a model, not being a poet myself! It is the essence of my life up to a certain point now long since passed...

Eryl, that is superb - I love it :)
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I could listen to your voice all day. But I suppose one must do the laundry.
Wow! That's a bit riveting. I shall come back to that. So much to absorb. It would be good to see it also.
Kim ~ Thanks :)
Carole ~ One must! I've been cleaning and laundering all day: Tuesday is now my housework day eugh!
Pi ~ Okey doke, I'll stick it on the kitchen bitch then people can correct my puncutation too!
Oooh..that was brilliant.Forget the housework (for a bit:) and please do some more of this.
Jumped here from Devin, and you are a poet.
Thanks Eryl.
Hangar queen ~ Thank you so much :)
S&C ~ Thank you too, but I may be one hit wonder! No, no I mustn't say that.
Well. That was stunning! Hold up, I need to have another listen...
That was amazing, Eryl. Absolutely A-1. There's so much in it, I could listen to that all day.
Thanks Sam. When asked to write something autobiographical it's really difficult to choose what to mention and what to leave out. I'm very encouraged by the response I must say.
I can't stop listening to this.
You ought to get a prize for writing one of the most evocative, fastest autobiographies ever! In fact, you've almost coined a new category: Flash autobiography.
This is just wonderful, Eryl. I liked it a lot in print, but much, much more in your voice.
And you really nailed our town!
That's a fantastic poem, really enjoyed it, felt like someone elses life flashing before my dying eyes.
TFE ~ thank you.
