Good evening Melissa

I just read your poem 'Under Sun'. I thought it very clever how you were able to reveal the enormity of what you felt inside by explaining the meteorological conditions outside. V.clever!

I found the ending surprised me too.

Look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Do you ever write trad metre-and-rhyme, Melissa?

Hi Melisa
Thanks for your commentson Blood Onion, Glad you liked it,
Winston

Its nice to read your work again...

Hi Melissa,
Lovely to hear from you. Yes, thank-you I am well.
How are you? Good to see you back, but sorry to hear that you have been having some problems, and particularly that you have lost your friend. I hope things can improve for you soon.

Actually I thought I'd posted two pieces of music but I can only find one on here, from 17 March, called Barbarossa v Barbarella. This was done at home. I haven't learned yet how to manipulate sound so it's a bit basic.

I tried to do a link but it didn't work - however, you can trawl back thru my pieces till you get to it, if you want - if you manage it, you deserve a medal!

Hi Melissa - many thanks for your kind comment. I have posted two musical pieces, if I remember correctly. I am about to work on some more, possibly including improving these pieces. Now, what did I post? It's going back some time! Hang on, let me check...

Hey Melissa, thank you for your lovely comments on 'Words'. Great to hear from you. Haven't been on the site much lately but will get back soon when time allows.

Hi Melissa,
Thankyou very much for your comment on my poem "Rapture."
It's just a shame it's wasted.xx

Dear Melissa

I am delighted knowing about your show coming your way soon. Thank you for letting me knows. You are a wonderful hostess to be exposed on a broader scale. I share the happiness and excitement with you!! Good things come to those who wait, so it is a time for a reward. Thank you for the wonderful comment on my last poem.

Hi Melissa - thanks for your recent comments. I've been on and off the site too, due to University exams and other demands upon my time. If only I could have those minutes back that I squandered in youth, then things would be fine but alas, no.
Your comments page intimates that your poetry is popular and that's because you can sense the sincerity absorbed inside each and every word that you write.
The best of luck with all your dreams.

Darren

Hi Melissa, thanks for your comments, great to hear from you, and glad you like my 'In the City' poem. Yes, lots of things happening for me and its been a revelation to be hones to help me on all fronts, whats new with you? Jeff X

Hi melissa, thanks so much for all your kind words, Im doing fine. Its been hot, but thats normal. I am in hopes of rain from gustave, that is due in on Monday. Im far from the action, but close enough to get rain, some high winds, thats normal. I love the new poetry pic, its very good. I love all seasons, they each have special things about them. I guess I enjoy fall/winter clothes the best.Well Im off to bed, holiday weekend and I get to work! take care clarissa xx

Dear Melissa

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment on my poem.
Thank you for the sympathy wishes as well… Life goes on dear poetry friend.
Those days that I wished were not there it is hard to avoid.
Thank you and all the best to you in this coming week.


Greetings with friendship love...Zuzanna

Hi Melissa, thanks for comment. You might have heard of a Joy Division single 'Love will tear us apart' Its in my top 5 records of all time, check it out, very sad and poignant but a wonderful song and tune.

The singer Ian Curtis committed suicide and had a troubled mind, hence me using his picture in my 'when will it pass' poem. I love their music although a lot of it is deep and depressing!

The remaining members of the band went on to form New Order, who you may be more familiar with. Bye for now, Jeffx

Hello again Melissa,
Thankyou very much for your lovely comments.
They're always welcome.
Love and light, Janet.xx

Dear Melissa

Thank you so much for your great comment!I Have written some comment there so if you have a chance please take a look on my page.

Have a great new week!
Life is still beautiful...Zuzanna

Hi Melissa,

I enjoyed reading your above poems and was impressed by them. They flow so well and are so expressive, keeping interest ticking along and being emotionally moving too. I like the way they have a kind of emotional release at the ends. Walls Of Mine was surprising because I tend to think of walls, physically as positive things that keep out the big bad world and all it's harshness, emotionally, as protective too like guards people erect when they've been hurt too many times by others so that they are reluctant to be open, so, when I realised after a few lines that the walls were actually the bad guys, that was a surprise. But that's possibly a personal reaction of mine. Walls are emotive whichever way you look at them I feel, and I like best poetry which makes me feel and emote. Best wishes, Mary

I loved the imagery of the walls around you... when we lose contact with the world through fear or whatever, it can seem there is great walls around a person...

Hi there Melissa. Thankyou so much for your lovely comment on "natures produce."
Hope you are keeping well, love Janet.xx

Dear Melissa

I like your style in writing. It is wonderful how your words flow. Your poems are pleasure to read and they paint the right picture.
Keep experimenting on different subjects. It is more interesting that way. It is only my humble opinion but I see the potential in the variety of words.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and warm comment on my latest poem.

Have a great weekend!

Zuzanna

Hi Melissa, thankyou for your lovely comments.
My last blog was about crystal stones, which i also used to collect. I took great comfort from their healing and energizing qualities.
I no longer feel the need for them and have given most of them away now. The poem was simply a memory link to the digging deep within me, i did a long time ago to re-discover my identity.
I really love reading your poetry. It radiates acceptance of varied situations of life.
It resonates in such a way that is peaceful and melodic. I picture someone strumming a guitar in the background to your poetry. I hope you like the sounds of that as it is meant to be positive.
Love Janet.xx

Dear Melissa

Thank you so much for all the comments!
I was away for a week and now I am catching up on my replies.

Have a great weekend!

Zuzanna

hi Melissa,
I love both your poems, especially Under Sun.The theme within it is beautifully expressed with some lovely visual images.
Both your poems flow so well and are so easy to read and understand. I enjoyed them greatly.

Thank you
Mavis

Hi Melissa, Thank you for your comments. I enjoyed reading your samples. Especially "Under Sun". I hope your road remains unbroken and no more tears shed.

Good Day Melissa

Thank you for the comment!
I like the comment Darren placed on your page. Totally agree with his opinion about expanding the horizons in writing. There knowledge is power'- Challenge is a motivation to do better yet!
I am sure you agree with that. Thank you once again...BTW like your new photo.

Have a wonderful day!

Zuzanna

Hi Melissa - thanks for your kind words about 'advice'. I was becoming a little disillusioned about how people could interpret advice for criticism. There are many talented writers on this site, some are aware of what is required to take their poetry to the next level while others are happy to remain at the level where they are currently at. If we can all gleen a little something from each other, then surely that is not a bad thing!
It's a competitive world out here and if we are to compete with the front runners and, dare I say it, forge ahead, we must all be receptive to other people's opinions - whether we agree with them or not. Your work is clearly emotional and well articulated and I personally enjoy reading it.

Thanks! :D Yh I'm doing good! Been a hectic one too, and yours?

Hello, Dear Melissa

Thank you so much for your nice comment about my Moon poem. I love the mysterious side of the Moon! Glad you have enjoyed reading.

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

Thanks for the comments! Still your stuff is very compelling! : )

Your writing can be summed up in three words;
BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT,BRILLIANT,

Breathtaking work

Hi Melissa,

You're words stopped me in my reading tracks!

I loved all of your poems posted, especially 'Under Sun'.
'the storm raging outside would be the reflection
of what I keep'.

Extremely powerful. I enjoyed reading very much.

Just think what marvelous lines we'll see when you are under sun for a while.
thanks for sharing
Ally

Words of war is great, and that is a piece which really gripped me from start to finish. Stay UP!
