    i totally loved this image - i think its exactly what i want done with my ashes when i go...assuming there isn't a passing member of parliament to throw them at!

    Genius

    Apart from being a lovely poem, it's actually a really good idea! Might go for that, just make sure I'm dead before you burn me, I sleep heavy.

    Yes, a great idea! I think this could really catch on (really!).

    Would be good for a postcard or something this poem maybe. I have a vaguely similar one on a card (about being a balloon). They could be friends...penpals even.

    I loved this! Both the poem and the notion are fantastic!
    I really liked the bucket with the soapy water and the wooden spoon. And who doesn't love bubbles?

    What a fantastic piece!

    That was such a lovely poem and so powerful at the same time, lovely image floating off to the sky

    Oh my God, I'm going to do it.
    My son in particular would think it a brilliant thing to do.
    (though knowing my luck, it would start raining)

    I'm going to nick "the poetry and the notion" from Kat, because she's right, both were great.

    Loved "Incant, if you feel the urge,..." and the whole of the final stanza - "Release me over the river,..."

    What a lovely idea! Bubbles are so fragile and beautiful and free! Then they pop, and it's over - a little splash as a reminder that they ever were. Fresh take on the prompt.
