Is Parliament still standing?

V for Vendetta
Norsefire folk did not endure.
V’s last ride; The Tube

Footnote: The fifth of November has always been a special day for me and since I live in the US nowadays I make it an annual ritual to watch V for Vendetta.

Memory Dredging – 60’s Bristol

Teddy Boys, think back
Beetle Crushers on their feet.
They ruled evening streets.

Way Back Then

A short story in Haiku style
My first memory.
Jan C. Smuts Home for Children
In Burnham-on-Sea.

Breakfast with some kids.
Walking to the beach lighthouse.
Breathing damp sea air.

Big people took me
to live with as family.
I had siblings now.

We had dogs and cats
And we had a garden too.
I was happy there.

Then I had an urge
The wide world called me to leave
Look where it brought me.

I found new friendships
Bloggers using words galore.
Thank you one and all.
