Ivor, I loved “Fragments of midnight / Floated in my half-empty coffee”—such a quietly surreal image. It felt like the poem was stirring itself awake inside that cup.
Much love,
David

Dear Ivor – I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I clicked the link to read your poem. Only a portion of your poem was visible and there is another link to read the remainder of the poem. When I clicked that second link, I got locked out of my computer and needed to shut everything down. I thought you and your other readers should know. ☺️

Oh wow … that’s terrible, I’ll have to make some enquires at CHW … as far as I know, no one has had the same problem … maybe I should redo the link … Thanks, Nancy 📖📘😊

If no one else has commented, the problem is likely on my end. All is well now and my computer is running fine. Who knows why these things happen! I did not try the link again so I was unable to read your entire poem. If you want to redo the link, that’s up to you. Thanks, dear Ivor. Time now for dinner. 🥰

Hi Nancy, I’ve redone the link, maybe you could try again and let me know how it went … I see there was an “ad” in the middle of my poem, and I’ve just put in a complaint about that …

Bravo, dear Ivor! I love the playfulness of your ‘half’ poem, your very artful and clever use of words that leaves us with just as many questions as answers. Delightful! 😊 And this time I had no trouble with suspicious links, pop-up ads or crashing computers! Thank you! 💛🌜😎⏳🌞🌝🌏⌛️😎🌛💛
