Cool poems Alf - think best poetry comes from very ill or people who are on a high - one of my fav poems was written by a man who suffered from illness (it was mid-evil days so not sure what it was) the nature of the illness is that he got awful fever at night times drove him to hallucinate, but was fine during the day. He made the poem to be a dialogue between him and the fever, the described his fever as a shy lover who only visits at night, gave him so much pain and so much pleasures, gave him highs and lows, and in the morning no trace of his lover is found.

Try The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley, it is alleged that she was in a drug educed haze during the writing. It is an excellent classic.Originally posted by SandyDown View PostCool poems Alf - think best poetry comes from very ill or people who are on a high -"Wait, I still function!"Comment

Bananas are plants rather than trees. So were triffids for that matter, though.Comment

I grow bananas in my garden. This year they produced some green fruit about an inch long.
They are about seven foot tall and are in a big clump.
They look like this http://www.palmen-koenig.de/assets/i...ross_400cm.jpg

They are plants and not trees. Big plants.Comment
