John,
You could go through the entire fish kingdom with this.
(what a brilliant one for a guest-spot!)

Many thanks for your thoughts on "Dick".
I am just enormously thankful that the call to resist Nazism fell on the last previous generation and not ours.

everyone wants to be controlled, dominated or handled. it is too difficult to think freely in a world that is moving at the speed of the hyper highway. the universe ever expanding at a rate we cannot measure. we are all stuck with glue and our skeletons are wanting to break out but dont know where to go..our muscles no longer wired up to the source as it is deseminated by its billions subscribers...we are like a hick shack in wales..a backward slow turning planet. always waiting for some one else to make us free.

thank isobel..love is only a sad recollection for me. this poem is beautiful because it is poured with innocence and naivity, i like the milk imagery. a mothers milk cooling carnal fires. breast milk, asses milk sweet with seduction. if i didnt know better i would mistake kealan for a sweet sensitive soul that has yet to be truley burnt, on the beach or anywhere, even in dream. i like a nice love dream, it seems even they are rare as black sand today. they exist for sure, loads of them but on someone elses shore..haha sorry im a miserable bugger xx

A salutary tale for the attitude of mind in
many that sees older folk as either
pointless or useless. Little (in so many ways) do they know!

thanks for your comments on 'the snowspider' David - the location is very real (deep in the forests of Bannf in British Columbia, Canada) althought the snow spider is........less so!

glad you liked 'the cause celebre' Isobel - the only apt response (because I'm rubbish at French) is 'merci' - will see you at the Tudor later, if you're going :-)

Hi Greg Thanks for comment on 'Territory'. Yes, the 'fine line bwteen civilisation and the natural world' has been a bit of an obsession with me in recent years. I had actually promised myself a break from poetry - thinking I maybe been pushing it a bit- then this one just came out of the blue!

I really like Rachel's comment there - it's such a sad poetic reflection on the pursuit of love.
There are some incredibly raw, natural elements to this Kealan.
'happiness heaves
its pure milk on our new light'
I could never have thought that line up in a month of Sundays - but it seems right.

Great memories.

Sounds lovely Ann - and if your only hecklers are seagulls, you're very lucky!
I liked the idea of poets and painters as 'space organisers'. I'd never thought of it like that but it's an interesting analogy.

and the saying of a little prayer of thanks

No worries Alex - I'm just glad to hear you sounding so chirpy. I sympathise with the ankle - any kind of pain is a real bummer. I'm suffering from an aching right buttock at the moment - the aftermath of back ache - which I totally blame on doing housework - can't think what possessed me ;)
You take care now and I'm glad to hear your son is well. xx

I sat next to a `whistling` escape door half-way to Greece once. Despite the co-pilots assurance that it was okay, I prayed all the time that I wouldn`t be the first out into `the wide, blue yonder`.
I like the way the four line `stanzas` separated by the one line key words discipline and `tidy` this apparent `free` verser into a `proper` sounding (and reading) poem.
(particularly like that `pop.pop,pop. at the end)

Ta!
I'm always transfixed by the emergency doors on planes. Surely it'll be all right if you open them just a crack to have a peek and let a bit of fresh air in, that's my feeling on the matter.

Hey, a great preview Ann. St Ives, eh? Seagulls, live poetry, what more could a grown person want?
Get yourselves there, and say you read about it here. Go on!
