Vautaw

Thanks for stopping by my homepage Paul. I’m so glad you are enjoying retirement and taking time to visit your WOL family. We love you! ❤️

Hiya V, thanks for your comment on "Blinded by this Covid hype"

Here is my reply...



V, I have been making a potagerie in readiness for the spring.

You are 100% on the money (pun intended).

I am loving retirement and lockdown.
I have accomplished 18 months of work in the last three months.

Nothing beats the taste of biodynamic, homegrown herbs, fruits and veggies.


Poet, mystic, head gardener and chef Paul.

Be well.

I couldn't agree more Dan. There are millions of websites where we can post our poetry, but we tend to gravitate towards a place of connection, community, family. WOL is home. 💗

I agree Tom. I hope we can have a big WOL family reunion some day!

D, the sign reads, “DANGER Do Not Climb on Kissing Rocks”. I have always been a bit of a rebel. 😉

Right back at you V. We're all lucky to have found each other (and the words we share) right here. 😃

what does that sign say?
Danger...
I cannot read the rest.

Ok, starting today, I’m checking my homepage every time I sign in, instead of just the blogs!

Thank you my beautiful poetry friends for taking your precious time to comment. I love the WOL community. It’s so cool to connect with poets from all over the world. Nigel, Tom, Fred, Paul, D, Philipos, Leon, John, Adam, Flavia, Robert, Dan, and Stephen... I cherish you all. Write on! ~V

Hi, just like to thank you for liking my poems & welcoming me to the wonderful world of WOL! Encouragement is only given by those with a selfless heart, so thanks x

Not really complaining but I've just scrolled down past several million other comments or reviews of your work. If you are able to answer, you are a genius. To write is a gift.
To engage takes work.

Thank you, Vautaw, for your welcome to WOL message. I've read your sample poem, which I find inventive and engaging. I'll be back soon to read more of your work.

Hello Vautaw, thanks for welcoming me to WOL. I am really enjoying the experience as well as reading your poems so far.

I appreciate your encouragement to write on and welcome any other comments/advice you may have to give in future.

So glad you can relate to my poems...I kind of get transfixed on a theme until I have exhausted its resources.
It is my fear that as a result my poems could get monotonous/mundane...but such is my style

Thank you for liking my poem " A client's Woe" Vautaw and adding me to your favourites.

I am sincerely flattered and dare to assume that it's no easy feat.

I look forward to reading your poems.

thank you Vautaw for your encouraging words.
I feel better already!

Thanks for liking "Poem By The Stream", I value your comments.

Thank you for liking 'I wash my hands of it'

What a crazy world Vautaw

Be well
Po

D, To learn more about the statues, google “Kissing Rocks Dogpatch USA “. Maybe I will write a poem about them someday!

I continue to be facinated by those clay figures.
I wonder who they are? and who made them?
Were they found in an ancient tomb?

Thank you so very much for all the time you've spent reading and liking my poems.

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
– C.S. Lewis

Thanks for the kind remarks on my profile page 'V'

I can't read what that sign says under the man & woman statues.
I can read "Danger" but the rest is blurred.
What does it say?

Hi, Vautaw you say...

It sounds like the beginning of a horror story.
I wish I could write horror stories they hold much suspense
People do like being sacred... if evil gets its comeuppance

I can’t believe it’s true. Surreal.

Surreal it is V, not so much dreamlike more a living nightmare.
Your comment about the Spanish flu is a good observation, I can not begin to imagine what the Black Death was like, nor come to that the spread of aids due to invading occupying soldiers who rape indiscriminately with impunity...

Unlike this virus however hearing/seeing them advancing must grip one with utter fear and terror.

Poetry is a way to keep history alive. All Wars throughout history have had their great poets to document for future generations the true horrors experienced bringing to some degree the past to life.

I strongly believe you are right V
Your continued support and far more importantly for me, your well thought out comments...
Which inspired me to keep going down that road less travelled, knowing you have my back. ;)

This is a war we will win!
Thank you
Po

Vautaw Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you comments.

You have been an inspiration for a few of my poems over the years and are very supportive not only to myself, to so many others here at WOL.

The undertone and under-current has been sweeping a few away this year and the bickering and back-stabbing are something you never stoop down to.

I am guessing you saw my comment on John's poem.

I have so much I wish to do over this coming year, I know some of which you are aware of.

Well now I can begin.

You see V words like you oft write...

"Quiet calm surrounds my soul like palace guards.
There’s no place to go, except within, to fight an invisible war only I can win..."

Where you so often echo words within my heart and that my soul sings... so eloquently you write.

May you and your family stay safe and be well.

Ahh, thank you so much for your comment on 'Strangeness and Experience'. I did feel a bit possessed when writing that one, I'm not sure it's completely finished yet, but it's near enough. 😃 I'm looking forward to The Great Fire, assuming it's not too tough a story to tell?

Those statues were at a theme park called Dogpatch USA in Marble Falls, Arkansas.

where are those statues?

Thanks so much everyone for the kind comments. I guess I should check my profile page more often!

Po, you are a treasure. Your warm connection and encouragement on WOL inspires me.

Write on my poetic friends.

Vautaw - Moon Talk - thanks for commenting. Appreciated. P. 👍

Vautaw you have just made my eyes leak

..."Po, I am glad you are no longer on the WOLMIA list. I love your reasons for being here. You welcome new poets and always give thoughtful feedback. You are a treasure to our WOL community. 🙏 Welcome “home”❣️

Blessed be V
