I'm sure they can detect Roskilly's Ice cream with Rodda's Clotted cream from the edge of space before zooming in. Drones with wings!
Sorry about the cone but your words have made my day. Nice one.

Seeing an adults world from your own eyes as a child. Feeling your pain (and hurt in the possibility of heaven's non-existence), in this piece Helen.

Ha - it was the curve of the thigh that did it Cynth!I don't view or think about men as having curved thighs. I don't really think about men's bodies at all. Must be projecting, eh? ;)

Hi Cynthia Thanks for comment on my Jeffrey Hudson poem. I actually posted it a bit too early - it was driving me mad - and have I hope smoothed out some of the rough edges.

Very gripping, vividly imaginative. Great title. In my Samples is 'flashback', using the jet trails as well. You might enjoy it.

Comment is about VAPOUR TALES (VERSION). (blog)

This is very interesting, in subject and development. Would you consider either 'creation' or 'creativity'? (I do realize they are not the same.) Or, perhaps, if they were inverted ... since creation is not possible without creativity. It is just a thought; but it did bump against my mind.

Comment is about Creatives Collide (blog)

Your work is always clever, but never annoyingly smart-ass. That is a hard border to judge sometimes, and many poets are scared to death of it, wanting to be considered 'one of the guys/gals' and not, God forbid! intellectual. Your metaphysics here are capturing. Would that be very 'Plato'?

Comment is about V For Victory (blog)

Original item by terry ireland

Sharp thinking expressed in very astute imagery. The personal 'I' works really well here, implying the universal 'you, too?' Often 'I' can be self-indulgent, but you skilfully avoid this pitfall.

Hmm - the cruelty of love discarded by a less feeling partner. You have captured the turmoil well Emma.

For each broken heart the pain is both unique to ourselves and yet still the same as so many have felt before.

At times I have wondered if love on the rebound is the result of two broken hearts being drawn together, ever hoping the pieces will fit and bond... Time truly is a great healer, though sometimes needs a little help and encouragement.

I don't normally like long poems but I was hooked after the first verse of this. I love the structure of it and the powerful use of imagery.

I can empathise with the content of the poem and want to thank you for being so honest.

Original item by Pity-Poetry

Of course - now that you mention it, I do recall
those electric clippers. But even more - the
click-click of the barber's scissors wielded
with such dexterity over a small boy's head in
the long-ago seaside town of my birth.

Thank you for the encouraging comment, Natalie.

Personally I always overuse 'and' even when I don't need to because it makes you feel in the middle of something even if it is the beginning or the end or cutting off a thought. I do agree though on that once instance of removing 'but'.

I think I need the RSPCP - for people - my dog rules the roost in our house! He's quite funny, he likes to choose which way we walk, and if he puts the brakes on, that's it, there's no shifting him!
Thank you for your lovely comment.x

Falling Apart

A black hole
sliding into obscurity
till grit itself

helps you to
escape the trauma.

A great vision of an heavenly art-form from the silver, silent steel eagles. Great imagination with the angels, hopscotch and tripe Andy.
Good one.

Natalie - you have a wonderful blog of work. So much in such a short time. Very good poetry.

I'm sure sometimes in our life we have all wanted to get things right, not offend and then 'sit on the fence'. I can't really see you with this monologue... a politician maybe...
(I just get a vision of Tony Blair when I read this) ;)

'God knows I try' is also a little marvel.
Great works.
