To Brain Mayron

The translation of literary pieces ls very much demanding.Apart from command on both languages one has to refer interpretations and encyclopaedias to decipher hidden meanings.

The poems could be culture bound.Such translation as well demands literary competence.It is the recreation of a creation.
Putting both poems side by side helps to discuss on the poems.Poems chosen for translation also draws attention towards themselves.
This way people will get a chance to read time-tested poems.

Now, I have readied the translation of 0ver 33 poems by 28 poets across the globe from Britain,Ireland, America and one from Lithuania.

God willing I will have them published getting donors,publishers or otherwise!
I think introducing poets across the ages falls in line with Wol's objective.

Besides people confined to their native language will get a chance to know celebrated poets.

I have innumerable poems of mine in this and other blogs.Thank you

There is a lovely honesty and innocence about this poem. Beautifully written. It speaks of the bath and bathroom as a warm and comfortable sanctuary.

Thanks Mark for your story - a very upsetting experience i'm sure; it happens to many through no fault of their own. I had the advantage of being on hand. I know we share common ground on feelings of course; just a spontaneous thing on my part. Comments can often run their own path! Appreciate your trouble.

Cheers Ray.

Comment is about 'We will carry them home like the weight of guilt' (article)

These lines bring to mind my own guilt feelings when as a boy, I landed a brown trout from a mill-side weir pool only to face my mother's distaste and to find the fish was laden with young that were denied life beyond a mother caught
and killed while trying to feed herself and them. I never
returned to fish that stream.

Comment is about 'We will carry them home like the weight of guilt' (article)

Hi Ray - we all have our way to follow and this is in the personal sense not always easy. I was with my mother
every day in the last week of her life except for the day
she passed when I drove the 200 miles return journey to
arrive just too late. It was some consolation that my two
(local) sisters were on hand at the time. My previous
comment was aimed at the general sense of our duty to
leave something for others to follow and be inspired by.
Cheers.

Just discovered your work, through 'Move On' in today's poetry blogs. Loved it and the two in your profile - particularly 'Threadbare'. I shall now look up your book and read the other poems you've posted which I must have missed if they are anything like those I've read so far.
Keep up the excellent work - you're now a favourite of mine.

Isn't that strange, Col. I was thinking of you this morning and here you are ! Weird. How about a break in Glastonbury? I was a hippy once just part time. You couldn't be a muso in the sixties without it rubbing off. Actually chicken chakras does sort of have a cosy ring to it. Let's get it on!

Thanks for commenting.

I like the twist at the end - the alarm is always a shock. I think the last stanza is my favourite although I like the whole poem, every word carefully considered.

there's some weird shit out there. You should check out Template Ceremonies. People really believe in this nonsense. And horoscopes too. Leaves me gobsmacked. Send her to Wales Ray - it's full of new-age nutters. But they're all beautiful people. Like you. Time to cook tea. Gonna try David's suggestion of Chicken Chakras.
Love and peace. Col x

funny you should post this Ray (I'm still in catch up mode) as I was wearing one of those wristbands on Fri/Sat. However they let me go home - mainly to give service to the good people on WoL (whether they like it or not lol). Still feeling a bit of that depleted energy myself. Onwards but not upwards (yet) hopefully. Neat poem sir and justifiably well received. All the best. Col.

Comment is about If i was a poet (blog)

Original item by Hasmukh Mehta

Just what I thought Anya, seems so dispassionate. THanks.

Thanks Rachel, as always, it is the little details that imprint themselves often. It's always hard to know how to be supportive as in your case.

David, you have spotted the whole tone of the piece as I had designed; in fact I edited it again. Our parents should be valued notwithstanding Larkin's poem on the subject. Much appreciated support.

You have my sympathy Brian, thanks mate.

On a serious note Suki, I feel two things here. One is that we lose a part of ourselves as it were , and also that that heals over in time hopefully. We shared wonderful moments towards the end - a real equality of mind if that makes sense. I feel her often in a strong bond.

Mark, to be perfectly honest that resume sounds slightly mechanical - a sort of text book solution, It does sound like we have a duty as you rightly say though in a wider context. My mum used to say of my brother(who is a Christian) that he only came to see her as a duty. I'm sure you mean it in the best possible spirit, so thank you for taking the trouble.

Thanks Hannah, you're right there was a feeling of hurt of course, but also as she was 96 it felt natural. I'm glad you put it so eloquently.

That is it in a nutshell, John. Memory on a personal level can be related to maybe 4 generations; beyond that lost in the current. We shouldn't forget echoes of the past but that's another tale! Glad it struck a chord. Thanks.

Also thanks for the likes: Frances, Nicola, Rachel, and Charlotte. A good cross section of ladies and gents to show this affects us all.

Love to all

I laughed out loud at your mention of Sodom and Gomorrah

A delicate use of irony and observation on the subject John.
A light but firm touch with plenty to ponder on! There's a sense of invasion and resistance in the English style.

It’s how that Great Spurs Fan in the Sky tests our faith, Graham. How brightly does the devil light the path to Sodom and Gomorrah (Old Trafford and The Emirates). The Straight and Narrow Path of Disappointment is for the true believer.

Comment is about HUGGING CANDLES (blog)

Original item by John Coopey

Well done Charlotte. I missed this first time so I am glad to get a second chance to read. Each verse feels like you are taking a deep breath before submerging underwater, in the bath maybe, before coming back up for air having done your thinking. The final verse is like a release but a release that ultimately brings you full circle to yourself - cyclical like the seasons even. The conversation with oneself style is very effective and for me works well. There is also an out of body element that fits well with the whole folklore element of the robin.
All the best, Colin.
