Having had some back copies of the magazine from my
elder sister, I enjoyed the use of its classified content
in this poetic fashion. I may even advertise my CD there!

This is lovely - especially how you paint a visual picture, but give a real sense of what was going on behind the photo too, thanks :)

Hey Andy, I really like this - my favourite part is 'seeing loved ones/ into blushed petals/ trampled onto the floor..' Xx

I strangely just had that exact conversation in my head while reading what you wrote. With another imaginary/actual person. Great feeling, precise in its absolute.

A Johnny Cash hot hit given the culinary twist by the ever
reliable "Johnny Onthemoney"!
Such inventiveness is beyond "facile" in my own view.

thanks Patricia & Stefan, I keep telling myself that I need to write some more cheerful poetry and not to concentrate on doom and gloom so much, I'm starting to sound like the new age Leonard Cohen :P xx

Fine for a holiday, but you struggle to get a really good strong cup of coffee here, perhaps because packets of the stuff are about double our prices.
The frustrating thing with the poetry nights is you only get chance to read one each, and pay much more to get into the event.
But in Washington I have discovered people making money from poetry, open-mic poetry at that. All to be revealed soon.

Sounds like you're having way too much fun over there Julian. I worry that the strength of the US poetry scene may lose you to us forever ...

Aww, thanks, Tilly! It felt so good to write, and I was truly hoping it would carry on to someone else. It makes me smile what you said.

What a truly lovely poem, Jimmy. Every single word you've chosen is just perfect. I love 'in your fortified heaven' and 'woe the day I felt your face upon my palm.' Such subtlety. One of my absolute favourites.

When first arriving in Stockport
I was the new boy.

Feeling isolated unable to speak
I found myself in exile.

Which is the selected theme
For Stockport Write Out Loud.

Well, Greg has taken me down memory lane: let's wait and see what he found there.

And, yes, if we can find any other attendees that would be good.

"Why create when you can sleep, dream

Why sleep when you can create, dream

Why ask when you haven't got a choice

Why choose when the outcome remains the same'

This is modern day angst at its best! Hard hitting realities.

I don`t know how I missed this!

Laura and Andy are right to use the words rich and dense about it.

(Andy`s instinct is also right about stanzas.)
