Thank you both Stephen and Clare for your kind words and taking the time to read my poetry. I write from the heart with no expectations of anyone to read it; so considering youâve taken your time to read my words and leave a comment means the world to me. Thank you đđ

A poem with great imagery and description. I could picture her "Solitary Journey".
"Into the crushing solitude of her journey
Searching for the memory she has kept
A ghost from her past she longs to see"
Great lines, Tim. Very relatable I'd say. I loved this poem.
Thank you.

I like the way this poem takes a shape of a glass, very creative I must say. And a wonderful poem too,
"He cries when no-one is around
Bright is his sound
Dark, his pen"
Superb lines, RBK.
Thank you.

"From my wing backed chair I often gasped,
or as a tear roll down my cheek released.
It was my evening matinee, my own news reel,
as the one eyed box which did my attention steal"
Great lines, my friend. I enjoyed this poem very much.
Thank you.

I googled "in sterquilinus invenitur.â "In filth it is found" Something like the beauty in the weeds, perhaps. Or, unexpected joy arises from our sorrows, maybe. Really enjoy reading your poetry stories, Michael. They are like an interesting ride through the paths of thought, going this way and that, and yet they make sense, connections keep popping up! That subconscious is a keen observer...wonderful.

They are craving
for what we have
Hidden it stays
from prying straying eyes
Ear muffs handy
but are not needed
Their whispered words
blow back in regrets
For what we have.â€

This is a wonderful book, full of practical insights from fifteen leading contemporary poets on their process and how they develop a poem from a tangle of ideas into a finished piece. Being poets they understand the importance of precision and capturing big ideas in a small package. So, the book may only be 150 pages, but the content is far from small scale. Each chapter is a masterclass and, as many of the poets are also teachers, they communicate their ideas beautifully and memorably. Hats off to Rosanna McGlone, who has worked sensitively and thoroughly with each contributor to draw out their wisdom in a warm, engaging and intimate way. I am on my second read, this time making notes, and I know I will revisit this book many times - it is the best I have read for anyone who writes, or aspires to write poetry. Brilliant stuff - thank you, Write Out Loud & Greg, for nudging me to buy it.

Thankyou, Stephen and Kevin. If youâve watched the series Kevin, this might be something of a spoiler in that this battle at Lugg Vale happens in the book but after the series ends. I may well do this on Thursday.
And thanks for the Likes, Stephen A, Holden and Paige.

This reminds me of Tony Hancock, Kevin. 'As soon as I 've finished it, I'm going to recommend they ban it.' But I'm not of course. An absolute masterpiece.

Fantastic John.
If this is a re-post I don't remember it from first time round.
I copped out on the winter king and watched the series rather than reading the book.
One for Thursday perhaps?

I would be fascinated by your analysis. You are more than welcome to use my poem, and I would love to see the conclusion. Thank you for the request.

Thanks Greg. There are too many references in this to explain them all. Cornwell's novel would do that better. But "Lloegyr" is worth elaboration. It literally means "Lost Lands" - what the British called the land in the east of England taken by the Saxons. When Wales play England at the Millennium Stadium you'll see the scoreboard read "Cymru 33 Lloegyr 0".

Thank you very much, Graham. There was a certain stream of consciousness element to this. It came out very fast and then I spent some time revising it. Your positive reaction is much appreciated.
And thanks to Nigel, Steve, Stephen A, Manish, K Lynn and John GE for their support.
