As humans rapidly and single handedly destroy this amazing planet we call Earth, lets us appreciate Mother Nature, the disappearing cultures, the amazing places and the creatures, big and small, that we have the privilege of sharing it with.
I'll start with Ololokokwe, known also as Ol Donyo Sabuk, which rises 2000m up above the dry and dusty plains of northern Kenya.

If everything in life was straighforward
How quickly we'd all become so bored
We'd argue and fight
All day and all night
Would any of it do any good?
That should be:
"If everything in life were straightforward", since it is the subjunctive voice that is employed here, as is defined by the use of 'if'.
The rest of it is hypothetical conjecture,
So don't waste your breath with a tedious lecture,
Insisting 'we' would argue and fight,
All day and all night,
Is mistaken, of that I am quite sure.
I thank you for your grammatical correction
and your summary rejection
Of an assertion made in jest
Now can we just let this rest
And engage in some private introspection?

Disintegration of the Heart
This should be on the main page Andy.
Agrees with Paulus
Great job, Andy.
This was such a wierd experience!
I set out to write a couple of stanzas that I had buzzing around my head - and the damn thing just took off! It took maybe thirty minutes to write and a little while longer to edit. I hope I've managed to convey the battle that rages between love and hate for someone, especially if they are with someone else. That was what I was trying to achieve in the piece.
I will have to think about putting it on the main pages. Thank you so much for your support, though.

What food source do you think will be the answer to feeding the world...
Shower or soak in a tub?
Without question or hesitation a long soak in a hot bath (tub). As an arthritis sufferer some days the only way I can get respite and release fom the pain and discomfort is to soak for as long as possible in the bath. My idea of heaven on earth at times!
Holding hands in the dark or kisses by moonlight?
Why
Why did I have to meet you?
There is no rhyme or reason,
Save for the fact that I love you.
It is my deepest joy and most bitter agony
In doing so.
I cannot be with you.
I can only love you from afar.
I must hide my feelings
In places no one else can find them.
Muttering them in the dark,
In the cold.
I must wait for angel wings
And heaven's gate before I let you know.
I must stay away from you,
Shivering in agony, alone.
