Nice to read your poems as well as listening live to them(Lightbox on Thursday) Xoanxo. A well captured atmosphere, all soft edges and thoughts - almost ethereal. I enjoyed your tribute to a friend last week.
Great irresistible voice rendition and a refined guitar make it memorable!

Well worth the effort to put it into rhyme now wasn't it?

I think most who don't like rhyming poetry are simply jealous that they cannot put two words together.

Great job Becky. Already read this, but I read it again for good measure. ?

I wrote an extremely viscious poem about Theresa May not long after the referendum. It's probably still floating around Facebook somewhere. Yours is ...kinder.

Magical. Reminds me of diving off the coast of a volcanic island at night, where particles would flouresce in the water. Nature sure is as wonderful as it is colourful.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say I had a ball on Saturday, it was an excellent event. I tried to load photos onto this page, but they went on my profile page instead - plus half of them are sideways (they were the right way up on my phone)!

I should have asked your permissions before posting them, so if anyone doesn't like their pic, please let me know and I'll take it down. I personally think you are a handsome / gorgeous lot and gave a completely professional performance at the Gallery.

Mark and Deborah have posted on social media over the weekend and were more than happy with the day. Katherine Rossetti was also very pleased with how popular the event was and thanked us for our time and support.

Good times!

I look forward to Randy's Poetry Trail Open Mic on Wednesday and hope to see you there.

Nic

It's an interesting exercise Brian to have nothing in particular and see where you're mind takes you. Jessica Masterson said "The next time your mind wanders, follow it around for a while" ? Hang on...I need the loo

Thanks Nigel, although I don't know why half of them have turned sideways? They are the right way up on my phone??? Nice shirt ? I'll add more pics... if anyone doesn't want their photo displayed, please let me know and I'll take it down (I should have asked first - sorry).

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

Thanks Taylor & John. And Anya & David for the likes. This one was deliberately poignant as it was about my own childhood. "Sadness with fleeting glimpses of joy" just about sums that up.
Grimstone low is a more blinkered view of the place where I grew up, and I like to see the funny side when writing about there.

Cheers Kevin

Thank you Ray and Hannah. The witch is a potent symbol of female magic and power. That was why powerful men feared them and had them burnt alive as a warning to other women.

Your poetry always excels and bringing all the right ingredients in what you write about and the way that you use words. This helps to draw the reader in as well as having a subtle amount of humour just to add the right amount of spice
Nice on Peter
