A poem for the wonderful V. Birchwood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8D2VHnh78k)

 

I wrote this yesterday, 12th November 2025.


How staggered my heart

How far my fear

When bowed before your grace

Upon your heated smile


By the birchwood you lie

This is the truth you bear

A name carries no toll

Yet I know you by name


Through this your joy

Crafted hands be no still

You carry words with foreign air

To delight my island ear


A face etched by warmth

Warming the day’s craft

Crafting the day’s adventure

Adventuring, adventuring, adventuring



I wrote this yesterday, 12th November 2025. I wrote most of it in one, quick flow. Before taking a break to see to other work and then finishing off with a final, quick flow around evening/night time. Here is what it means:



How staggered my heart: How impressed am I

How far my fear: How comforted am I

When bowed before your grace: Gently giving way to your way

Upon your heated smile: a smile of warmth and gentleness but alight with passion too


By the birchwood you lie; A way to reference her surname; She is located by the birchwood

This is the truth you bear; This is true/this is you

A name carries no toll; A name alone does not identify

Yet I know you by name; yet I can identify you by it


Through this your joy; this is your joy, to be passionate and to share with us

Crafted hands be no still; forever busy, meaningfully

You carry words with foreign air; you have a beautiful accent

To delight my island ear; received by my ears


A face etched by warmth; a face created by warm personality and passion

Warming the day’s craft; guiding your craft; granting it meaning and furtherance

Crafting the day’s adventure; forming the day's adventure

Adventuring, adventuring, adventuring; always adventuring, spirited and a go-getter

Do you know what I just came to realise? Donald Trump is the Garak of the real world. Garak, being a hugely likeable character, something, unfortunately, we find hard to say about Donald Trump, it is not for me to desire to hate people but he is one with a detestable character, but the two sharing a great love for telling lies. Sometimes watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Garak's verbal maneuvers gives me the impression that he himself is starting to believe his own lies and thus can no longer tell truth apart from fiction. Now where does that sound echoed? Donald Trump, worryingly United States of America's President, believes his own lies, I fear. It was bad enough raising the attention of Metropolitan police, whom had to correct him on his claim that parts of London were "overrun" by Muslims, in a way meant to provoke within the gullible images of Muslims (Presumably he meant "people," as Muslims do not have a look, anyone can become a Muslim. But ...

 Megan Ruby Walsh (Spoof) Megan, the jubliant and amazing Pokemon Trainer of the Galar region, has just been offered an honorary degree in Pokemon ethics for her tireless work fostering relationships and feeding her pet Barry, a goose, with Jaffa Cakes. Megan has long campaigned for equality among Pokemon representatives and is glad to have been afforded an opportunity to back these bipartisan measures. Megan began her research studying at Professor Elm's School For Adventurists and earned her degree in record time without a single compromise on quality. She says: "If the investigative journalism career had not worked out well... I could see myself having become a musician of some sort. I always carried a tune well." Megan, engaged to Gary Oak, has found great comfort during lockdown through the support her pet Pokemon have provided. Lord Barry of Birmingham, future husband of Avril Lavigne, has commended Megan repeatedly for her stoic spirit and sense of fellowship. We a...
