Not writing much this last while so here's one coming at TFE's writing prompt for the Poetry Bus on the after life somewhat slant.

The struggles of an emerging writer to get published. What exactly is it that I'm emerging from? Some kind of primeval literary goo?
Tweet or Email me if you're want to talk about a reading/gig/festival/workshop, a review on my blog or basically anything you want to give me for free (money works too) at

this made me smile. i;d like my ashes fired up in a maroon but bubbles? i like the sound of that
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.
beautiful, just beautiful.. :-)
Lovely poem, I enjoyed reading this. :)
Thanks everyone. TFE, I'll personally singe your ear-hair for you first and see if you wake, if you like,,
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
Very nice - striking image and genuinely moving.
I like the idea of this too... hhhmmmmmm... I wonder what the mix ratio would be for something like that.. :-)
A great way to finish a life!
Lawrence Welk would love this! Thanks for the smiles.
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.
Thanks everyone. Life is very fragile. who doesn't love bubbles
bubbles...that's the way to go. Loved the poem!
Willow, why would Lawrence Welk like this? I know he was on american tv but that's about it...
What a fab way to go and a fab way to describe it!
