There is so much to this particular stanza Andrew, , you really are a Great Poet and Friend The pigeons gather round her feet Whilst pecking at the fallen crumbs, Which lie upon the pavement And they never seem to stray. There is such a wholesome feel to this one Andrew, , AWESOME! ! ! Love duncan X

You have made Bradford Place come to life in this interesting poem. The Mills & Boon lady, the taxi drivers, the people from other cultures, and the pigeons that always seem to frequent city places where they can find a crumb. Great flow and poem as always. 10 Karin Anderson
The old lady and the pigeons add a lovely timeless touch to your vivid poem picture.10, for you. Warmest regards, Sandra
Picture depicted brings to life of what is happening in life! Wonderful natural poem to read!

It is a somewhat grey picture you have painted here Andrew, but it is so accurate, each person living there own lives, within inches of each other, yet not knowing anything about their near neighbours. Derby is full of pigeons and there is always someone feeding them, and the line of Taxi's as you say are discussed in a foreign tongue. Strange world. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
