thanks for your comments on 'she wears pink' Win - glad you liked it - I'm hoping to cover some other aspects of the JFK assassination as we come up to the 50th anniversary - so this one is a forerunner
cheers

thanks for commenting on 'the scarecrow dreams of leaving' Harry - glad you liked it - must admit it's been playing on repeat in my head - so much so that I've revisited and extended it to cover all 4 seasons (see latest blog post) I'd be interested to see if you feel it is as effective in its extended form or whether better read as an individual piece - as always I appreciate your comments

Thanks for your comments on Loire and Phoenix, Isobel. Phoenix is named after a campaign group that is trying to establish a permanent live music and arts venue in Woking. In the meantime they meet in an empty shop next to the JobCentre. I read it there tonight, to a small but attentive audience. Your campaign seems a worthy cause, too.

Hello Simon - If you never wrote anything else,
your poem "September Sisters" should ensure that
you would be respected and remembered. Your
use of the Shakespearean style for this subject is inspired. The drawback is, of course, how do
you top it?!

interesting stuff,
The 'Reclaiming History' review is based on the 1000+ page full manuscript - whereas the 'Four Days In November' is a condensed version that covers just the 4 days of the 2 (3) murders. I haven't read the full manuscript but may well do now because, as you say, that review sounds very interesting.
Hope you enjoy the read - I came at it with an open mind and really enjoyed it - couldn't put it down and felt like I was watching every scene - a really good writer and a really good read - keep me informed on what you think and if it changes any of your perceptions - I would be interested

Comment is about Steve Higgins (poet profile)
Original item by Steve Higgins
as always MC, we seem to disagree.
I could shoot down (ouch) virtually all your suppositions about this murder - but it would simply be by referencing Vincent Bugliosi's book - so rather than fill space here I really would urge you to have a read of it and see if you remain so sceptical of the lone nutter theory.
Also - the Stephen King book 11-22-63 is a damned good read if you can stand the fictionalisation of events (but, I suppose you already have) - cheap shot :-) once you get started with the similies there's no stopping)
unlike some of our other disagreements of view - I'm not particularly precious about my views on this one - just pointing out a couple of damned good reads
cheers

Hey MC
sorry it's been a while me getting back to you - been in sunny Dorset on holiday :-)
interesting stuff regarding the whole JFK 'drama' - must say that I am an avid reader on the whole topic and consider the ultimate 'bible' on the various theories etc to be 'Four Days In November' by Vincent Bugliosi (I highly recommend this as a captivating read - if you haven't read it already)- which basically disproves every crackpot conspiracy theory that anyone may choose to believe (good grief, I even read recently that they are theorising that vice president Johnson set it all up!)anyway - my own take on this - having read the books, seen the videos, listened to the theorists - is that it was, indeed, a lone nutter - and all the rest has been allowed to fester thanks to the ineptitude of the federal and local investigations.
I felt sorrier for the wife and kids - that picture of Kennedy's young son saluting the coffin has got to be one of the most heart-wrenching shots of the whole sad mess.
thanks for commenting - interesting stuff

Hey Shirley, i'm glad you liked my poem 'Wise Sea'. I wrote it a few days ago when i was on holiday in Spain. There's a part of me that's a bit intimidated by the sea but i have a lot of respect for it. I appreciate your comment.

Not quite sure how to respond to that. I know the poem seems bitter and sad. I think its a situation that is more common than we like to believe and tragic for all parties involved.
Last poem in the collection to be posted next week...then I don't know what to do next!

Hi Danny.
My friend Jenni Pascoe saw you performing in Edinburgh recently, and recommended you to me as we share an interest in climate change. I've been looking at some of your stuff online, and I like it. Jenni says you have a CD - how do I buy a copy?
Keep it up!
Best Wishes, Tim.

hello Starfish,
Glad you enjoyed "Then As Lives Longest Learns Most". I'm rather flattered that you think my stuff is worth reading. Most of the time I don't think it was worth writing.
The most honest line in it is, "My motives were not allus honest". I never went on any marches and certainly never enjoyed any success with women, two character traits I retain to this day!

Glad you enjoyed my Squitters and my confession of dishonesty, Them as Lives Longest Learns Most. (In truth, I never went on any marches and was certainly no good with women).

Yes, I thought I detected a flavour of MLK there. I was listening to a commemorative programme yesterday and suddenly heard the strains of Heatwave, which is in my all-time top 10, which probably has about 50 tunes in it!
Comment is about David Cooke (poet profile)
Original item by David Cooke
I don't know if she was in charge of actual choreography, but she taught them all stage presence, deportment, fashion, etiquette, all that kind of stuff. Basically getting them presentable to break into the white market and not show themselves up in front of royalty and other vips. I thought the poem was quite timely in view of the MLK anniversary. She was a great lady in her own way and opened the first black charm school a decade before Berry Gordy's mum recommended her to Motown. Some MOtown is a bit saccharine, but they still produced masses of top class pop. DIana ROss ain't no Aretha though!

Many thanks for the positive comments about my
two most recent posts. Funny but although I
"dabbled" in such stuff during my working life,
it was only in retirement that I got stuck in
and found I could get it together...albeit that
revision (very unromantic!) is usually essential
before I'm happy. Wish I had your ability with
the guitar though!!
