Biography

I enjoy writing and I really love some of the poems that I get to read on this site. I enjoy creativity and spontaneity and am ashamed to say that I do not spend much time honing my poems.

SO MUCH YOU

You look so happy in this photo
that smile is so much YOU,
We wonder what just happened
that you could be so moved,
Could it be you inherited money
or did the divorce go through?
Whatever the reason, keep smiling
that smile is so much YOU.


wink.

Watch out for that flock of words
flying across the page-
they may leave something behind
you will have to clean up later.

wink.

why why do you capitalize Hazel
but not ettridge
is it a secret code
are you ashamed of your last name
IS it your REAL last name
and who is that clown?
is that the real
Hazel Ettridge
holding a banana?

In your profile photo
Betwixt a phallic column
And a filing cabinet
You sit salted away
Like the icicle on the edge
Of a wave.

Thanks for your comments on 'there are no angels here' Hazel - I think you are right - Angels are a retiring breed

ah YES you totally got it Hazel ? this was an exercise in trying to create an archaic looking language to fit the archaic looking poem of a crows perspective on life. It was easily achieved using a phonetic translater - which uses emphasis on the words stresses - so reading it aloud is exactly the exercise needed to make it work - the 'translation' was more for those who simply tried to read it - rather than use the phonetics.
Glad you liked it

Hazel - thanks for the comment. You may be interested to know that I received a note from a WOL "moderator" to tell
me my poem had been removed because it did not comply
with WOL Codes of Conduct and furthermore that WOL was
not a platform m= for my political views. I think back on what I've seen on the site and the foul, often vituperative
language used in political attacks and criticisms - and I can
only wonder at the reasoning behind this decision/action.

Hi Hazel, thanks for your comments re "Plans on hold".
l use "thoughts" to act as a pivotal and personal expression of what would otherwise be a too factual, impersonal account of events.
I appreciate and welcome any and all such advice.

Just rechecked your 'bio'. I've been enjoying your recent participation in 'Comments' on many poems. I'm not sure what you 'might call home'. Your own inimitable self?

(Have I spelled that right - too rushed to check my dic. Definitely slipping!)

Hello again Hazel - I'm more than happy with a bit of insplagiarationism! - one of the wonderful things about WoL is the way we trigger dialogue and response through poetry and commentary. So bring it on is what I say. I'm also flattered that you found favour with my Fun in a Fiat 500 - phew! It did strike me that your Earsplitting was on a similar theme when I read it. All good stuff and nothing to forgive whatsoever. All the bestest, Col.

Hello Hazel, thank you so much for your recent comments on my poems and to my profile page. Honestly, words like that floor me in the nicest way possible and I am so very grateful. Big hug. Col.

All feedback gratefully received. I type straight onto the blog so don't usually do stanzas. But agree this one (Child) needed them.
