The Tuesday Platform


"I always had a repulsive need 
to be something more than human."

David Bowie (1947-2016)

"The truth is of course is that there is no journey. 
We are arriving and departing all at the same time."

Welcome to The Tuesday Platform, the open stage in the Imaginary Garden. Please share with us one of your poems today, new or old, and visit the offerings of others.

    So touched by an artist like that... and after a weekend listening to black star... it feels like this was a man where everything is art.

    I wrote mine last night – and, not surprisingly, it's right on topic.

    So sad about David Bowie. He used to play here all the time, on a ticket with Iggy and the Stooges.

    'How are you?' is the poetic question for me today.

    Thanks for the tribute today, Marian. We count our contemporary creative geniuses on our hands, and now we are minus one. I went looking in my archives for a poem inspired by Bowie's Space Oddity. But it does little to explore the loss I feel at his passing.

    "Ch, ch, changes ..."
