Laura,
It was the McGarrigle poem…I liked the calmer style of it, and also the neater stanzas. I couldn`t hear you reading it in your usual `go get `em` style. It was much more - powerfully - controlled.

Comment is about Laura Taylor (poet profile)

Original item by Laura Taylor

In my own way of seeing things, I believe that
poetry is "encountered" and this encounter can
encourage one's own expression through the
medium in whatever style that is chosen or
found most appropriate. I like verse - which
requires (and develops) a command of language,
plus a sense of rhythm that can extend into
the creation of song; & finally the imagination
that creates its own worlds through words.
Serious or humorous, this use of words can find
a way to entertain a reader and satisfy the
author's wish to make a point or "paint a
picture".
Master the use of the tools that do the job
and let your mind make others see something
they find intriguing, interesting or inspiring.
Remember - "In the beginning was the Word..."

If you Google "The dark side of Nelson Mandela"

You will find that The A.N.C.are carrying out a Mugabe type agenda in South Africa

Thanks, Isobel, for your holistic response. It is a very potent yet varied dynamic and each person will have, I imagine, their unique experience and position in the wide range of possibilities. You are much appreciated: 'The possible dream.' Frederick

Thanks for the open feedback, Shirley. You are much appreciated. I guess my onus for the poem was a query as to why we are raised on ideals of aiming for the unreachable and then shot down to a compliant existence. I guess I believe that there are possible dreams if we go about them the right way. Thanks again. Frederick

Morning chuck

Glad to be of service.

I was hoping to come but have been stricken with lurgy and am having to come into work, which makes the whole thing drag on and makes me feel incredibly sorry for myself. I'm deaf, lacking all energy, my head feels swollen to buggery, and my nose is a tap. Also, I am hugely grumpy as I don't cope well with being ill at all. Attractive, eh? So - I'll have to see how I feel. I do love the band and your poetry.

Try and get someone to film it for you. Would be good to have something like that anyway, and then if I don't get to go, I can watch it :)

Have fun anyway mate :) xx

Re 'Hold me' Cynthia- the poem was a word for word real-time event on facebook with a woman in another country. Love was not an issue-why should it be?- she wanted to be brought to orgasm and sleep, that was achieved- with affection. I did not prescript the exchange. The word 'love' is mentioned five times. The inference is within the text. Affection is blatant. We have never met. She lives five thousand miles away.

These feeling of love,sadness and broken heartedness is what I live for.Its what keeps me going.true,I shouldn't let anybody make me feel the way I do,but that is what I am as a person,I don't choose to let anybody control what I feel,it's not something that i choose or want,but it is inevitable to occur without my consent.The reason I write such melancholic poems is because it has made me the person I am today and is the only way i can vent out my thoughts.It is the motivation that has driven me to extents that nobody else can.I trust myself and what I write,and I will continue to write what my feelings and emotions tell me to because it is what I live for and something that I will welcome and embrace for the rest of my life,where nobody will judge my emotions or the person that I am and aspire to be.That is why I will hold onto them forever.
