lovely poem Pete.
has a 'watership down'
feeling to it.

anything at all to do
with nature is fine by us.

thanks.

'aint history fascinating John.
I,like a lot of people can relate to
the feeling of 'connection'
when we visit museums and the like.

the one exhibit that blows my mind away
is the Bayeux tapestry-wowsers!

neat poem-glad you are back
between the shafts.

Stef & Patricia.

Thanks Andy, was ace to see you in Stockky on Tues (after a long time).

I think it makes more sense as a written rather than performed piece. (And please excuse the rather poor art.)

Glad you enjoyed it! x

i think we should have a poem in an anthology do. i think its better that your works going out like that. you can see its standard in relation to the other work. I spose online books are all the thing these days but it proves to me how new writers have all the fresh talent x well done x
ps i love that its got something to do with me...ah my young protege miss taylor is doing so well...particularly as sometimes you cant see why youre reading, what is the point. when your on stage and the lights in your eyes and its a circus. Im so glad i got the message of that poem through. makes it all worthwhile. i may have said this aready but i am now ready to retire ;)

Thanks Isobel for the notes on me profile and No One Called You...

You know, Biting the Bullet wasn't saucy at all. It really wasn't! But it proper tickles me that you can find such a different meaning in it than my original :D :D I was gobsmacked that one was chosen - but the publisher specialises in 'funny', and as you know, I don't DO funny very much! :D

I agree with Jo here as it does seem a little sad. Love the first line however possibly as I can relate to it.

A image could be a good idea I think however.

Hi Jennie; - remember you doing this at Stockport the other night and really enjoyed it - it's certainly amazing how long it can take to get a final draft of something sometime.

I like a lot of this - in particularly the use of italics.. excellent stuff x

Yes - but you'd probably end up with a very wobbly prick that wouldn't do the trick and then you'd start relying on liposuction again...

An ILLUSTRATOR!? Why don't you attach party balloons to it as well?! Sorry but this young man's poetry requires NO illustration. His words are, more often than not, enough.

Well I'm totally delighted to hear that you are being published and even more so to think that it is a poem that you wrote for one of our little on line competitions. It makes it feel all the more worthwhile running them. That was a very saucy poem! x

Comment is about One Bum To Another (blog)

Surreal, lyrical, a little bit sad somehow. I really like this. It would work really well with an accompanying image, if you know any illustrators. On it's own it feels a little incomplete, like it just needs a final touch.

Hi Cynthia, re; 'Website' this is a much changed poem anyway so other ideas are welcomed. Please go ahead and change as you think appropriate.

Hi, David. I've been off-line for ages. Thanks for your comment on 'Considering Colour'. The last night of the Proms featured a poem by Wendy Cade or Code, about the orchestra, a child's view approach. I appreciated that it was in line with what I was trying to do with Colour, but I thought the verse was awful. And she was COMMISSIONED! - and presumably PAID! Oh, the pain. BTW, Colour is on the news this week with surveys being conducted with a COLOUR WHEEL, to ascertain the happiness level of Mancunians according to the colour of their choice. Am I en vogue or what! I enjoy hearing from you.

I don't remember the original enough to spot the differences Andy - but you don't appear to have made it any worse so that's a plus! I would just change the two an s to a s int the penultimate verse. I think they are typos but they just distract a little. x

Hi Isobel - thanks for your comment over End of Summer II and I'm pleased you like it - always pleased when you comment - this one of my favourites must admit and there is certainly other pieces to come in this sequence (Currently aiming for 4 or 5)..

Hope you are good. Maybe see you soon at either Salford or Tyldesley maybe? xx

Enjoyed this despite, or because of, its disconnectedness
I've seen her walking
dressed for bed

That's such a simple phrase yet here it's very powerful.

Nice humour Ray. A very original poem - how do you think them up? Though I can't quite feel the same about polar bears since that last mauling!

Comment is about Tipping Point (blog)

I can well imagine this being one of a series. The poem reads like the beginning of a story - a setting of the scene. I suppose the 'In hindsight' of the first line leads us to expect more. Very atmospheric Andy! xx
