Thanks for reading "Cows".
Had no idea you were such a prolific writer.
Read your Bio.
Am impressed.
but...
forget about climate change
it's been changing for eons.

Keith,
Thank you for appreciating my words.

I'm glad that you agree with my thoughts. Its upsetting to see someone in deep trouble and it hurts like hell when you aren't able to help them. Words of condolence and encouragement can't do what kind actions can.
We do care and love irrespective of colour, creed, caste, religion, races and nation. I'm glad this is a sweet alternative to all the plight.

Love n Peace
MG

Graham,

I live not far from Warmington, which is the setting for this poem. I live in a larger town only a few miles away. A delightful county second only to one of its neighbours.

I love your sample work, Prince Ali. I can see you reading this in a traditional poetry slam-and rocking it! Would love to see more of your work here if you are happy to share more.

Best wishes and keep writing.

Thank you Graham for your Thanksgiving Greeting.
It's not everyday you get a word of encouragement, much less from so far away.
It's a shame you don't have real turkey. It is delicious.
You should get one to raise. They are easy to keep
but quite dumb. I think you could keep one in your spare
bedroom or in the hallway of your "Flat", if that's what you
have. Don't all Englishmen have Flats?
I will think of you as I eat my Turkey today along with dressing
and cranberry sauce. But, I won't think of you too long,
I'm going for seconds and have to be fast! hahaha

Thank you for your graphic description of a doodle bug. I shall try to avoid them. Thanks giving baffles me. What and for whom are you thanking. We save our turkeys until Christmas. These days they cost a fortune.
Happy Thanksgiving. Don't overdo it.

Here I am
stabbing away at the keyboard
but my only thoughts are frivolous
one cannot be serious all the time
life is full of comedy
it lessens the tragedy.

dk.,
Thanks. I associate with both the high and low, whatever that means. Praise where praise is due and similarly so with criticism which needs to be constructive and not negative. Poetry and those who write it are strong individuals with well thought out ideas and the innate ability to describe what we see and our thoughts. We are both no exceptions to this. Write what you feel inspired to write, avoid the frivolous and write with pen and paper. The hand is connected to the arm which is in turn connected to the body which holds the mind. Poetry needs to flow from the mind and does not come well from stabbing away at key boards and peering into screens with bleary eyes.
Keith

You write with a great passion identifying your soul as your real and true identity. You have or are perhaps passing through the experience of coming to know yourself, the inner self. This is an edifying process as it will be of assistance to you in your life and writing. I have read through a number of your poems which are impressive. You have the spirit of a writer and I look forward to reading more of your work.

Thank you for becoming a member of this site as you will be an inspiration to others.

I read with growing interest your poem 1990. Somehow it was akin to reading something which resembled a literary frieze which left me wanting to meet and speak with the man with the black beard and Russian hat. He cuts an enigmatic figure. You possess a unique style of writing which is quite fascinating. At times it is disjointed but the reader is spurred on with renewed interest. I have read some of your work so far and look forward to more.

Thank you for this

"The Boyfriend" was a classic!

Considered opinions

everyone had one
they never stopped,
your so-called boyfriend
a Lover was not,
when it came to bed
he was definitely a flop!.

Agree absolutely with Keith. Was definitely impressed with the butterfly poem, really beautiful. Am getting quite jealous! What has happened to change your contributions so drastically? I enjoywriting 'frivolous' stuff too, they are like word games. Haven't abandoned anyone! Keep up the good work.

Hi Ray - Not sure about your message of the 1st November just

be connected with my message seen in your list of messages dated 7th February last. However, I will go to my Paypal

back to you. Cheers, Mark

A purse pup
may have a hankering
but it's too used
to pampering,
so to waves and sun
it shies away
prefers the comfort

Hello Keith, fantastic autumn poem on Poetry Plus. Really enjoyed the beautiful language. I started WOL in 2017, and most of us have come on a great deal since then, I think. Found a poem new to me today. Titles, by John Richardson, whom I didn't know.It's not in the least pedantic. even though he was a Victorian poet, andvery amusing. Keep up the good work.


All the best, Jennifer
