Hey D. Thank you for your kind words on my profile! I 'm a regular nobody but I do mean every word I say! 🎈

Hiya D K. Have an ear from each, and am quite happy with that!!!!! Thanks for reading my stuff.

Jennifer

Have you ever read one of my poems? I'm curious because I know you read my comments, and with no profile picture I can't tell if you're a spambot that came to life and developed a sense of humor, or if you're messing with me. . . .

Stop messing with me!!!😅

But do keep writing.

d. I love your sample 'chain letter'

You could not ever be called 'the weakest link in the chain' However if that link is anywhere above where you are... Its a rapid decent to a pile of rusty bits of metal hoops clinging onto each other in the vain hope that someone will link you back up for some useful purpose.

Where was I? Oh! I remember chain letters!

I am still waiting for mine...
Some bugger always deletes it before I see it!

I want you to be completely comfortable with the site. Ask whatever you need to know, I will try to help as much as I can. If I can't help myself, then I will find someone who can. No bother at all!!!!!

😘

Hi there,

I just saw your question in the comments section on my profile. So sorry for coming back so late, I am crazy busy lately!!!

I am a bit confused with your question to be honest. Would you mind geting in touch about your issue with Paul Emberson, please. You will find his profile easily. He is a tech guy. I am sure he will be able to help you much more effectively then me. Sorry!

Happy New Year!!!

Anya 😘

Call me what you want, but don't call me bad at rhyming or late for dinner!😎

Hi DK

Very tasty - positively Cordon Bleu!

Jennifer

Some of your list of questions after my comment I have already covered on 6 August so that should suffice. Insults tend to go stale quite quickly unless they are very skilled. It is not obligatory to comment on poems but where an inspiration comes in I feel it is justified, which I did in your case. Perhaps you might feel the urge yourself someday. Other than that I am flummoxed - either I am not getting your humour or aliens have landed. (That's my humour).

Hello dk....I'm alive! I just saw your message. I laughed so loud my ribs hurt.

I have returned to NY and am very busy getting settled in. I miss WOL and look forward to joining in the fun soon. Be well!, Jane

dk.,

You are not taking up my valuable time as I believe that as we comment on each others poetry we are learning all the time. Being on this site is invaluable in improving one´s own style. We all help each other through constructive criticism.

Hi DK, so sorry I didn't respond to your comments on my blog, I guess I'm not sophisticated enough to get your meaning. Still loving your poetry though. Cheers, Kate

Hey cool! Now I have a profile picture just as bad ass as yours!😎

Hi DK - my career largely consisted of "people watching"
but at that stage of life, an active interest in poetry was not involved. In my retirement, waiting rooms might certainly
be source of poetical ponderings but I usually have other
things (like treatment 😐) on my mind. However, I might
find something in future experience that sees me look to
humour for a poem when I'm next due for the needle or drill!
Cheers.

Hi D.

Referring to your query about the Sardinian diet


They eat sardines sardonically
and mutton munuttonously

Jennifer

Hi dknape!
I'm from Ireland, my name is an Irish name.
It is pronounce like 'Qweeva'

I definitely get a lot of attraction with my name. It's unique I suppose haha.

June is my middle name Jane is a name I chose for myself when I had my confirmation.

I guess I could have chose an easier name but what fun would that be haha!

Thanks for your comment😃

Hello DK! Love your profile!!! Feel like that myself. About your query - they do eat sardines, but being a pastoral people love mutton!!!!!!!
Also loved Breaking the chain. mixed up the torturers a bit though! Gestapo OK, but waterboarding I think is US technology, and as for tarring and feathering!!!!!! Loved it.

You will be glad to hear I am not competing for POTW at the moment, (Why they awarded it to me stll astonishes me) as I have broken my wrist!!!!!

Keep up the go0d work! Surprised Wolfgar Meire didn't get at you for the anachronisms!!!! Jennifer

My retorts are lighthearted, which you will be aware of by now 😎

I had never read your sample 'Chain Letter' fully until now. That is funny, to hold up someone else's hopes of a damn message, and then even better - to delete it. You are sly.😎

I also have burning bushes in my ears and brimstone in my nose - but you can't see that part. . .

Hello there DK - thanks for the comment on my page.
No - it's not me on the bench - a snap by me taken in
Dartmouth, Devon, overlooking the River Dart towards its
estuary. This was the jumping-off spot for many US armed
forces' vessels employed in the D-Day Landings 1944...on
Utah Beach. Now it is a very popular holiday spot - but
you can also probably imagine how busy it was then!
Cheers,
MC

10 for effort, quality poetry, and making me laugh. Especially the last one. That's really important.

😅

Marmite is something similar to Vegamin I think in the USA and Rioja is a Spanish wine. Both are delicious. You must be somewhere else on the globe I think.
Regards
Keith

Hi D
No I don't carry the sign a round with me. It was more about my presumption at calling myself a poet and leaving it to others to decide. It is probably getting a bit old now so I should perhaps change the profile picture.
Cheers
Martin

Hi DK - the humour in your blogs is always welcome and
especially when it connects with things we find ourselves
suffering in this electronic/keep-up world. I tend to agree
with TA when he mentioned his suspicions that clicking on
"unsubscribe" might send an unwanted message to its
source - and, instead, I look for "delete" whenever possible. Rest assured, I do not see that happening in respect of anything you post on past/present evidence 😃.

Live on a smallholding in Ireland..donkeys chickens..don't dis your work it's goooood..by the way I enjoyed Chain Letter..I always delete delete..and I am still here.😃

That's funny stuff, but nah nothing too dicey. I got the pen name from a portmanteau of the first two rap names I had when I started back in high school.

Not my best work, but someone had to do it.

😎

Hi D.K. It is a dog..Lol thank you for noticing her.

As long as the tennis ball comes back gentle-like... I like social tennis...

Re your water poem I saw two levels. The literal one of water flowing down to it's home the sea. The second, of us flowing through life, buffeted by rills and rocks, looking for 'home' 😎

Hey d. Knape, thanks for your lovely comments on The Spaces Between. I wrote it after many days of visiting my Dad in ICU so it is an important part to me. Events like that make one realise we have very little control. I really appreciate your feedback.
