NIGHT VISION by Mike ~ The stars came down on us that night creating a low ceiling, We tasted mists of morning reeling through the pines. A spark from some untended pyre burned truly in the middle air. Once stoked finely by the host of human tread, It bled, refined into a rapier before our eyes. We strained to grasp the pattern of its flight But lost our vision to the fading night. Written by Mike.......

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement, the editor in chief of Twins Magazine tells me I have to make a very small obligatory fee, for allowing our poetry forum to see my article under there copyright rules, so I will be contacting them to see how this payment can be made? Rules is rules as they say.
I have only apeared on the telly once before, on the 'Wright's Stuff ' it was back in the summer this year, I was talking about my seperation from my twin and it lasted about three minutes!
The BBC 2 programme is an hour long ....HELP!
I would like to say a big thank you to all those on this forum, for their help, generosity, support, and friendship, it has given me more confidence to look ahead, and see just what is possible... if you keep trying, Thank you all so much. :hug3
