Hello, Roy! You inspired me so much by telling that my poem has reawakened you and it is the best you have seen for months. Your words have certainly flattered me, but...I think that you are a very kind man. I would love you to check out (when time permits of course) at http://www.poetryfromodessa123.jymdo.com and I would really appreciate your opinion and feedback. With warmest wishes, Larisa

I've seen your poetry grow so much in the few years that I've known you. I'm so proud of you. You've become a fine writer.

Intriguing electronic update of the search for
love.
But as the great R&H song goes...
"Some enchanted evening, you MAY (my capitals)
see a stranger..."
There's nothing certain in love and it is just
as likely to appear unannounced.
So...why sign off too readily with a "Click"
when you can stay logged-on?!! :-)

Having lost a bit of momentum and interest in poetry recently this has re-awakened me. The best I have seen for months, beautiful.
Thank you.

Hi John. Thank you for the kind words regarding my poem "Isabella Rose". She is my niece and was born with a serious heart condition. She is two months old and has never left the hospital. We continue to hope and pray.

Thanks

Comment is about John Coopey (poet profile)

Original item by John Coopey

This military-orientated depiction of death and its handmaiden called suffering brought to mind Lamb's famous lines about losing "the old familiar faces". The message, like the circumstances it depicts, is timeless and all the sadder for it.

Comment is about Beyond All Illusion (blog)

Original item by Noetic-fret!

This poem carries a simple truth...that the word "courage" itself is a servant of circumstance.
"One moment see us to the fray,
Another sees us run away..."
I particularly enjoyed the pay-off.

Well said! And there are a few around today.
We can only counter evil IF we recognise its
ability to assume various guises to deceive the
gullible - and THEY are always around! Truly
- the "devil's ally".

Hello MC
I used to put my boss through hell as I was pushing my lawnmower! Very therapeutic. It was like having one of those car static strips they used to attach to the back bumper shoved up your arse and constantly discharging. Bliss.

Hello Isobel,
Me again.
Many thanks for your comments on "Be Ye There Or Be Ye Square". I do not wish to deter you from making the trek across the Pennines to visit us (Sept 8) but I'm afraid the festivities are not likely to include me taking my trolleys off.

Hello Y again,
You are not far off the mark about Prince Harry ("Be Ye There Or Be Ye Square"). We hope to raise thousands of pounds by asking people to give money for me to keep my clothes on.

Glad you liked "Crossroads Motel" TC. I never saw Laughin' Lenny although I have seen Bob Dylan 3 times - the first time was brilliant, the last two occasions he stole money from me. He was dire.

Glad you liked Crossroads Motel, Izzy. Of course I was not implying that you were "of a certain age", only that I was!

Comment is about Isobel (poet profile)

Original item by Isobel

Hello Sweet Pea,
Glad you liked "Crossroads Motel". My personal favourite was one called (I think) "Triangle" about a North Sea cruise ship. I think it aspired to the Caribbean cruise genre but the best bit was being able to see the goose pimples on the actresses purporting to be enjoying the sun as the boat bobbed around off Dogger Bank in an Arctic gale. (Incidentally, don't go looking for Dogger Bank!)
I hadn't realised that your poem pre-dated the actual rail announcement. That's very clever of you - a case of life mimicking art. Will you write me a poem about the Grand National next spring?

Hello Foxy,
I thought I'd thanked you for your comments on "Assasseen" but I can't find where I have, so apologies for the delay. I like what you say about omitting the apostrophe in brothers Kennedy which sounds a lot better (although there does seem grammatically to be a possessive in there somewhere!)

Yes I like this one too. I particularly liked the last verse - the imprint of that final image/personification to convey sorrow and regret - very subtle.

Thanks for your comment on my poem Lynn - I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm swapping the pen for a paintbrush at the moment - but alas, not the artistic kind - am too tight to stump up for a decorator! Hope you are well. x

A pleasing format which requires skill in delivery. The theme is well suited to it. Nice one...as JC observes.
