thanks for your kind comments on 'screaming blue murder' Mark - I don't expect everyone to like my particular political view - that's not why I post - but thanks you for seeing some merit in the form - if not necessarily all of the message :-)

Hi, thanks for commenting "Geneva Airport" and telling your customs story. I have a similar tale: travelling across France in the last great heatwave (2005?), at a time when "Europe" meant that customs controls were no longer at the border, but instead they could stop you anywhere in the country. At a service station they stopped us in our clapped-out soft-top English Ford, me in full festival-hippy gear, my boyfriend (long hair, dark-skinned and bearded) bare-chested in shorts, and basically told us they WOULD find the drugs. They then set the dog to search the car ("find!" "find the drugs"! "go on boy!") before eventually leaving us alone. When we got back in the car we found it was full of dog hairs: I distinctly remember my boyfriend's parting sotto voce comment "next time you bring your dog, shave him first!"

Dear M C,

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment on my poem The Swiss Watch!!! So encouraging 😘😘😘

Hi thanks for commenting "I can't write today". I love "Thoughts at Christmas" - it speaks to me so strongly as it will to everyone who has lost someone (as in, pretty much everyone, eventually). Thank you.

Hello M.C., thank you for commenting on "Who Am I". I too believe that there is so much more to life than what we see. Energies are everywhere...we just need to be open to receive them!

Thank you for your continued interest. Jane😊

Many thanks for your comment on my 'language of trees' poem

I hope those insects aren't too bothersome. M.C. 😱

Thank you for commenting M.C. I enjoyed reading your poem...Taylor x

Thank you for commenting on "A Fly" 😊

Thankyou for your words on my poem Grandad! I was hoping that people would see what I saw through my poetry!

Thanks for lovely comments on my last poem. Darn that predictive text. Now amended..for the second time Lol. Work with the only technology I own..my phone..
😂

what street do you live on.
i hope it's not a dead end.
😃

Thank you M.C. I appreciated you taking part in the discussion on my blog Wordsmith.
I found it very interesting and informative.
Thanks
Taylor 😃

sorry - been away and just got round to reading your comment on my profile page. Agree with most of it - but history has shown that, as a threat to the world, the only real player on the stage based on past form - is the fascist state

thanks for the comments on 'red herrings' Mark - I'm not sure who has misread who here - but most of them there left ideologies you mention coincide with my own - this was just a way of me saying - reds ain't all bad
Ian

thanks for your kind comments on 'the weeping angel' Mark - I'm pleased you liked it - and such a lovely thing to say
Ian

Thanks for feedback on my poem x I couldn't bear to put MT and TM in same poem .....perish the thought! Hmmm just noticed they have the same initials .......fancy that

I have this beating metronome
Pulsing in my head
Poet , come and synchronize
You and I are wed

I'm just a learning poet
MC does this make sense ?
I know it isn't worth much
No pounds, shillings or pence

DM 😎

Thanks for your feedback on my poem.

Danny

Thanks M.C.. Succinctly summed up.

thanks for the comments on 'This Is The News' Mark - I'm glad it's not just me that gets irritated by these modern traits 😃
Ian

Dear MC., I was both sad and disheartened to hear that your poem Double Guff has been withdrawn from the site. The poem merely expressed a view point with no bad language or overt prejudice. I can think of a number of previous poems which should have fallen into this category but not yours. There are none so illiberal as those who proclaim to be liberal. Don´t be disheartened but press on my good friend. People went to firing squads for less.

thanks for your kind comments on 'back to the park' Mark - pleased you liked it - not sure how pleased I am at making you 'moist' but that's another story.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment mate

I enjoyed your tale of Ronnie Kray, Mark, thanks for passing it on. So much has changed. That was really their territory, but influxes of all races has re-defined the area. They were the days of the "geezers" almost passed into legend. I for one enjoy the vibe, though some of their associates were disreputable to say the least. For instance Lord Boothby and procurers of rent boys for the mob. Incidentally, I met Ronnie's driver, Checker Berry, from a family of boxers. He became a ticket tout in the 90s. Now passed on.

Thankyou for your coments I make . I feel so sorry for all who have to put up with the lies and the deciet that is thrown back at people when knowing the truth . One day you never know . kind Regards Wendy X

Thank you for your comments M.C Newberry

Thanks MC much appreciated.

After a certain age I suppose we all make preparations for the "long lie in" Might as well approach it with a smile.

MC. As regards my poem The Bus Station. Well said my friend as you have interpreted the mood of this poem as I intended. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Thank you. Keith

Thanks for the comment MC yes I like the analogy of the different classes...! I should have included that

HI Mark . I just wanted to retract my claim on a recent post about Your "cynicism being intact" re Sadiq Khan. I didn't wish to imply that your approach to life is cynical, in fact you have a shrewd observational skill, which may include elements of cynicism as in that case. It's hard to all things to all men, and I try to be lively and immediate in replying to comments, and to broaden contexts. So, please take this as a one-off. I would hate to think you got the wrong idea!

Have a good Christmas and vive les comments.
