Dear Topsyturnsylad, the: Dear Topsyturnsylad, the moon’s still lounging in its bus‑seat dreams while Cthulhu hums Bob Marley to a row of flamingos crunching popcorn like it’s the end of the world and the start of the circus. The court’s handed me a fistful of stardust as penance, Godzilla’s tapping his foot for that long‑overdue mixtape, and somewhere between puff and poof I’ve slipped behind the vending machine, grinning in the shoelace‑shadows. The birds are still shrieking, the planet’s still a poisonous turtle, and yet here we are, two cosmic mischief‑makers swapping postcards from the edge of the dream.   The moon leans back in its bus‑seat throne, eyes half‑closed, humming a reggae lullaby while Cthulhu, all tentacles and tenderness, feeds popcorn to flamingos in the front row.   The court’s verdict is a jar of stardust, spilling through my fingers as Godzilla waits, tail swaying to a beat only he can hear, still wanting that mixtape you swore you’d send.   I haven’t vanished — not really. I’m just folded into the vending‑machine shadows, shoelaces tangled in the pulse of the night, watching the poisonous turtle planet spin and thinking how lucky it is to have another dreamer out here on the edge.    

Glad to bring some sunshine: Glad to bring some sunshine Tony!

Thank you!!: Thank you!! 

Thank you dear StarSpared.: Thank you dear StarSpared. Your words are both kind and hunbling.

Love how you’ve caught the: Love how you’ve caught the rhythm of it; that guzzle of gravity pulling and tossing the lines like a storm‑drunk tide. The whole piece does feel like it’s heaving against the shore, doesn’t it? Glad the ocean rhymes found their way to you. And that this experience has got back to me; so valuable and appreciated.

We rise; we fall: The poem, the image, the poet himself, all epic... I'm definitely digging the sweep of tides, churned in the guzzle of gravity, leaping upward to heave-ho ocean rhymes...
