Hi Lynn,
I like the gusto of your poem and I'd certainly agree with you on the call for the lib-dems to leave the government.
Political views aside (though I dare say we agree on quite a bit) very flattering to hear my offering had such an effect.
I can see that your poem is based in metre and on that note I had a little go at trying to round a few edges off for you; to try and help the sonic lines. Have a little look and see what you think.
Keep or leave any offerings as you see fit.
---------
I don’t think much of the Conservative press,
I think they are responsible, more or less
For indoctrinating normal working folk
Into wearing the tallest and saddest joke
that voting Tory is the way to go,
When workers’ foe is Cameron and co.
They continually berate the loony left
Forging decade old lies bygone and bereft.
So called New Labour is just right of centre,
Thatcherist policies just a bit gentler,
But no big cuts to the public sector jobs
that was down to the Tory scissored-knobs,
Who picked on the poor and the disabled too
For they need to give more to the privileged few.
Austerity just heads on a downward spiral,
Contracting lives while poverty goes viral.
Workers voting Tory – now that's preposterous!
Turkeys want no stuffing even at Christmas!!
Now as the recession hits a double dip,
I think it is time the Lib-Dems jumped ship.
A centrist pledge never seemed like a theft
but there was no party left on the left!
The only real options – what a dynasty!
We need a change; can we call it Honesty!
My Best
Chris

Hi Lynn - thanks for the kind comment about "So Broken Hearted" (demo version). I admire the singer Marcie Summers (from Bristol) immensely and she can be found singing on my latest post "When You Walked Into My Life". Back to SBH for a moment: the commercially released recording has just spent 8 weeks ina country DJs' list/chart across Europe and Australia. One day I may even be big in Albania!! :-)
Finally, I totally agree with the comments applauding "Teardrops In My Coffee". A great song-title
and a lyric that is worth someone's tune!

The cord is 'broke'? Dunt sit right that, for me. Cords are cut, not 'broke'.
I like the title, and the piece overall* - another one who can identify with it. It's a bit like smellevision this, but poetry :D
* BUT - I would take these two verses and reduce them into something that makes more sense:
The cord is broke
and blood sponged up
the wedding robes
are coarsely cut.

Lynn,
Thank you so much for your comment on "Surreal". It is, in fact, very true. The reason why it is more of a rant than anything else was because I needed to get my thoughts on the event penned down or typed up.
Thank you

This is very good, Joshua. I like the way it goes from questioning the sermon to the whole sadness of the event to the "party" afterwards being a distasteful dream. And finally, it is in the night time that the full weight of it dawned.

M.C.About the ending of your last comment:
It made me go back into the bewilderments of demography and the pension problems of aging populations. Including (would you believe it?)China.
The forecast (pension saving?) increase in Britain`s population appears to be mainly due to immigrants, as apparently -they say- we are not reproducing ourselves sufficiently.
Maybe we (and maybe even China!) will have to rely heavily on the people from those lands which are `unproductive` if only to finance our pension needs in the future.
Demography is scary...I hope there is some hidden self-regulating feature in it all...but
it`s got me scared! (and why should I be the only one to have my sunday spoiled?)

MC - did you read that story about Gordon Brown in the Tory press? ;o) Not that I'm defending the plonker, I wouldn't even call him a socialist!
You could be right about the Labour voters having their pensions squandered by him (chickens coming home to roost) but that would be no worse than any voting Tory to have their jobs axed by them months after they got in!
Maybe they are not always the big bad wolf? Well, I was prepared to give Cameron and the coalition a chance, but now... well, lets just say - perhaps I would have more time for them if we truly were all in this together!
Thank you Joshua for your approval :o)
Tommy, I completely agree about your misnomer of "the country". Thank you for your comments, you have given me some food for thought there! :o)

Missed this,
Reminds me of Hopkins (something sprung rhythm-ish about it).
Admire the hard-syllabled adjectival attack of the first three stanzas tapering off into the `explanatory` ending and the alliteration in the final line.
An excellently workmanlike piece of poetry.

Glad you liked "You Won't Batter Anymore". Even the great Buddy can be improved on!
I think you're right about the repetitons in "Together" being overdone bu my own preference is to retain the 4-phrase chorus line after each verse but dispense with the final "envoie".
We (that's Richard, my co-writer and I) wanted something very simple lyically and musically for the kids, and also strong in Christian ethic but without being "god-y"

Hello Yvonne,
Glad you liked "Together". We recorded it in school on Wednesday (its world premiere!) and I posted it the same day (I think).
We (that's Richard and myself) wanted something simple musically and lyrically for the kids; also, something Christian in tone(together/caring for others/strong helping weak etc) but not "god-y".
Anyway, the kids seem to like it.

I have always admired the effort that creates a school song. A purely fictitious - and favourite - example is Richard Addinsell's school song for the Robert Donat film version of "Goodbye Mr Chips", to my mind, on an equal footing with the more famous real-life "Eton Boating Song".
Lovely stuff!

The Tories are hardly immune to proper and just criticism, but the idea that they are alway the Big Bad Wolf, contemptuous of opportunity and self-improvement for others, is risible. Work and working practices/opportunities change - witness the emergence of the vast online market - and any government must keep up and adapt as best it can...often, sadly, some way behind what is needed. To stifle business or those who seek to create it is folly by any political party. But today's workplace is a hugely diverse arena, with creators and entrepreneurs coming from across the social spectrum. There will always be those who make possibilities and those who make their living by helping that process to successful fruition. In between come those who are content to receive the income provided by others without doing either. Whilst sorting out the properly deserving from the rest, no government serves its people by false spending and scant saving. There is no easy fix and even Christ himself was supposed to have remarked that "The poor are always with us". "Poor" is relevant to the times in which it exists and today's definition doesn't compare with what was known to and suffered by previous generations. There can be no age that provides so many "safety nets" for those enduring hard times, with and without official help. This has to be a worthy and laudable situation in an increasingly global and competitive world, with a worrying rise in population - especally in "unproductive" lands, that, ultimately, might threaten the existence of humanity itself.

Lynne,
I wonder if we all live in the same world.Under a Tory goverment, I:
1...(for free) went to Uni and got a couple of geriatric degrees.
2...four of my children (all left school at the age of sixteen) looked at their decrepit old fart of a father and decided to do the same.
3...Three are now teachers (one a head) and one is a probation officer.
When my factory closed, I was almost crushed in the rush of those people wanting to take redundancy (pay)
I am a lifelong socialist and trade union official.
The most important thing we should recognise about the popular press is that it is popular.
When Socialism says `from each according to their ability, to each according to their need`It is indisputable...But we must remember that Stalin was helped to kill millions of people in pusuit of that desireable end.
When Capitalism says `Leave individualism alone` this also has much to commend it...but leaving the bankers alone has led to the present disaster.
For me, the crux of the matter lies in the old saying that: `WHOEVER HAS THE MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE THE MONEY` ( I visited Hungary in it`s communistic decline and saw how true that was)That`s how the bankers ended up with all those millions.
Again - for me - At a time of the emergence of huge, new, united economic power-centers, for Britain to remain outside of central decision taking in the Euro is very foolish.
Finally...I think it`s about time we all woke up out of our `Up the workers!` and `Little Englander` dreams and took a good, hard look at what is really going on in the world around us

Thanks, Isobel.I can see me spending the rest of my life searching for an apt title for this sodding poem.By Poor Poem I mean in the sense of "Ah, poor poem!"feeling sorry fot it. The sentiments apply to any poem, though it's true a lot of mine are poor!I could call it Labour, I suppose, summat like that.
Comment is about Poor Poem (blog)
The term 'loony left' is in the same vain as 'Lazy blacks' and 'stupid Irish' i'm sure readers can add to that list.
Another misnomer is 'the country' in reference to an equality of gains and loss and unity of purpose pertaining to the population as a whole. Any dim-wit (I am most definitely NOT including yourself in this Lynn) can tell the massive disparity that exist between differing sections within society in terms of income and opportunity and social aims.
As for the role of the 'socialist leaderships' of the working class, it (the working class) has a long tradition of 'support' for Social Democratic parties and Unions because of the very many gains made by workers in their support of those organisations.
Very many workers absent themselves from the 'political process' owing to disillusionment in that process and an historical betrayal of them by their 'leaders'. The 'leadership' of the working class have also suffered the abandonment of the said principles that have been forged in battle with the ruling class and the sacrifices made in the defense of jobs, communities and their children's future.
Too many people mock those principles and the sacrifices made by millions of women and men fighting for those futures.
And Lynn, as for 'honesty' to solve those problems, well the Capitalists (and their executive branch the Tory party) backed up with the right wing press would (and do)scoff at such demands. Having said that Lynn I proffered the same demand 'Honesty'(in a discussion with friends) years before the film which starred Jim Carrey in the film 'Liar Liar'appeared.
In closing Lynn I enjoyed reading your poem and welcome the debate it has raised. Tommy :o)

I'd say the poem is about what you say in the title - something you've created that isn't necessarily good enough to survive close scrutiny. And no - it doesn't take long before anything drowns beneath the weight of others - particularly on this site :)
It's a metaphor I've seen used in this way before, but maybe not taken to the same extremes.
'After thoughts just rot inside the skin' - I can identify with that. I think we've all released something out into the ether that we are less than happy with. It's hard to work up the enthusiasm to change it, once it has gone - and if we accept the ideas of other people too much, it ceases to feel like our own poem. It becomes bastardised - to continue your metaphor... :)
I struggled with the line 'A cord is broke' I want to add an n.
Other than that, an interesting read.

My sister has an African Grey parrot - which
is lord of all it surveys from its spacious cage facing out of the window on to the street
a few yards away. Occasionally, she takes him into the garden and gives him a shower and he
seems more than happy to find his way back into
his cage home without any encouragement. These
birds - they walk around in the wild - seem
strangely content and reassured by their defined home surroundings altho' I am not in
favour of other breeds being caged. In other
days and in other countries still, you could/can buy a caged bird for the pleasure of letting it fly free. A worse side to caged
birds is the Italian shooting season when the
latins shoot at just about everything that is
flying/migrating overhead.

Writing for such a good cause is to be applauded heartily.
It gets better as it goes on. The vocal line becomes more reognisable as the youngsters get
used to the tune, and if I were to offer a songwriter's tip - discard the last two of each
four last line repeats and place real emphasis the 2nd (last) of what remains.
You can have too much of a good thing and it
runs the risk of seeming to be "forced".

On the subject of long term effects...good or bad -
we are witnessing demonstrations by public sector workers in defence of pensions. Fair
enough, but these are paid for by the private
sector - and who plundered the most admired
private pension system in the world to the
tune - it is recently reported - of many tens of billions whilst harping on piously about "prudence"? Why, a certain socialist
Chancellor/Prime Minister, that's who!
I bet these marchers, with their union banners very much in evidence, happily voted for his Party and its policies before the piper began to call the tune and a little reality set in.
