Exit Comments

A very cleverly written piece Ernestine. I don't think I would raise much if I had a clearout sale of everything in my mind. Andrew x

An enchanting Hymn to Oblivion sung by an over-tired brain. I love the way your domestic image of a 'clearance sale' is swept by the panacea of Nature forces, Water (river, hail, float) in particular, coming to your rescue. A fine exit that recalls to my mind the Romantics. A favourite.

Having a clearout is a great idea until you really need that certain something that you've thrown away.Very thought provoking.Love Duncan

Hi Ernestine, I really liked this, it was a nice use of metaphor, the mind as a box, or a store of some kind, filled with useless memories, bits of old information etc, but sometimes, we cant throw these bits away...

I wish I could clear away some of the deadwood too. A good 'from the heart' look at modern angst. A really good poem.

brilliant poem..for those whose minds keep racing

I've heard the mind is a terrible thing to waste but I can't strictly proove it.
