Comment is about They Are Not Gone (blog)

Original item by Trevor Alexander

Space grist to the mill of romantic poetry!

Mind, It`s not helpful the way space seems to be getting more dense at the same time that the particles of the down under (or within) have gone vanishingly minute.

I wish I could understand intellectual reliability of the maths equations they use to test this stuff.

Every time you see some of these scientists on the tele these days they seem to confess to being more and more puzzled.

This one is good with the aptness of the science bits to the attractional theme. (but a bit `difficult`)

It would read better without the large bold.

Original item by Trevor Alexander

It's good to see it all together. The progression of life. The little bits that stand out of all the days we live. What we remember. In part 3 I really enjoyed the lines "Dream Knew It Was Time Start Counting Breaths" It actually made me stop and think. Made me question at what point in our lives do we start doing that? Counting breaths? Counting days? When do we become so concerned with how many we will have left? I very much enjoyed part 3 and reading it all as a whole. Thank you for sharing xx

Original item by Tina Rooney

so so true Trevor.I like your 'farewell to ziggy' poem.I am working on one called 'the man who fell to space' an 'adaptation' if you like of the film(title) he starred in called 'he man who fell to earth' His supposed last words being 'hey look up I'm in heaven' so I've taken from those words and the film title the idea for my poem.So surprised he (Bowie) didn't have his ashes sent into space like Gene Rodenberry (I think his name was) the or one of the creators of Star Trek. Very surprised indeed! would have been soooo cool!

Thanks for the inspiration. I jotted down a few lines called 'Format' X

Comment is about EQUILIBRIUM (blog)

Hello Wolfie

It's amazing what you can do with a control button! Colin and yourself need to watch out for my next trick.

If I've understood you correctly, you are reading this as equality in a relationship between two people? If so, I totally get that as when I finished and read over and felt that too.

I wrote this from a purely economical perspective about supply, demand, the equilibrium price and how some suppliers will go to any lengths, with complete disregard for human life, to make money. Often out of harrowing situations.

Thanks for reading

The come-down after the adrenalin rush.

I've often thought how awful it must be when a musician moves from playing for fun, to it becoming a job. Not sure I could ever have handled that, personally.

Nicely written. Thought-provoking.

Hi Ray

I really like the 'old Englishness' of this, and I smiled at the "sniffiness" of Broadway.

Comment is about COTSWOLD STONE VILLAGES (blog)

Original item by ray pool

Yes thank you .But unlike other languages the English word 'you' works for both genders.
In my poems I am not expressing my feelings only. I try to express the feelings of others.
The message I want to convey reading psychology is
<<Before rushing to conjugal felicity lovers have to do ego massaging work or they have to sweet talk their lovers to bed.>>
#sweet #talking #wooing #impotence
Yes unless it is a descriptive poem the shorter a poem the better.I have 2 lines poem as well as 40 line long ones to.

Greatly appreciate your sharing this, Greg and Stu.
I have numerous tales to recall - I could muster up some more musical bile in that direction, I'm sure!
I remember a line from Bill Withers' a Lovely Day "bears heavy on my mind." The problem with the bigger bands is the lack of personal expression - just being a jigsaw piece when the picture was all too familiar.

Comment is about the muslim's tale xii (blog)

Original item by jeremy young

I've commented on the next part..

It is very similar to the 'lady of Shallot' in ways like that of which they are locked away and waiting for a man to come.The style is similar.

The verse concerning the broken horses is a particular wow..i wrote a poem with these lines

'...at the glacious stare of the long dead, long suffering, lacerated mare. Mating flies and festering there...gruesome horses indeed.

i think this is great writing.

i love the form and the telling of the tale.

some great imagery.

'they knew enough of bees and flowers

its reminiscent of Tennyson.

I understand why you are annoyed Laura but I am confused by your declaration of clarity

you appear to believe that there is some version of islam is just like the quakers - and in doing so you disrespect the bravery of mr fayadh, in writing what he did - and the other poets imprisoned for writing in a similar candid fashion
