Hi Joe
Maureen
It is nice to hear from you
Alan and I have split up
We both tried hard
But we are so different
I am sorry to hear that
As you can imagine
I am quite liquid at present
But thought that I was drying up
Until I read your Sussex poems
They are so beautiful
So simple
I did not stand a chance
I am sitting in my deckchair
Crying like a child
It is only a collection of words
But I suppose that a painting
Is only a collection of colours
A question
You do not have to answer it
Which part of East Sussex
Inspired these poems
It is no secret
I wrote these poems
Whilst I was in Winchelsea
Which is only a few miles distant from Rye
It is to me like Palmer’s Shoreham
I see so much whilst I am there
As you can guess I am back in the UK
Do pop down to Richmond
I may be little else but I am a good listener
