A Poem About Touch

THE GAZE

You caught my stare
Or was it a glare
I felt a buzz
Or maybe a stir
When you touched my hand
With the tips of your fingers
It was like an electric shock
I pulled my hand away
In that moment I knew
I knew it would be you

Why Don't Older People Wear Brighter Coloured Clothes and Accessories?

When you reach a certain age, is it really necessary to wear just beige or navy.  We need more colourful older people.  Men as well as women.  Think Jo Brand, the comedian, Prue Leith, the chef (with her colourful glasses), Sue Pollard, Mary Berry (all those colourful jackets), Christopher Biggins, Paul Martin, the antiques expert with his loud trousers.

Walking down Oxford Street in central London, many people wrap up warm in dark anoraks, jeans and trainers, all very comfortable for shopping, but what about a winter white coat with a black Russian hat to liven up the crowds.  Why aren't red leather boots easy to buy?  They are available online but not many on shelves in the shops.


So, reach in that wardrobe for something bright today and wear it with pride.
