Thanks for commenting on Christmas 2012, your thoughts are much appreciated. Like you I sometimes find I miss a few weeks and then catch up with the reading. Best Wishes, Jane

Howdy Cynthia - yeh, I ended up looking it up as I could have sworn it was breech! Well, technically, in my case, it should be 'rear' as she did actually come out arse first :D
Thank you re the comp :) Chuffed to be placed :)

Laura, that word 'breech/breach' is hilarious. I've seen both used, and I paused over which one to use myself. Yours means 'rear' and mine means 'break'; but yours is better. I could not find verification of either in my resource books. I'm glad your poem was included in the winners.

Cheers and keep lifting our spirits in 2012.

Hello Dave. Thank you so much for your kind comments on my poem "Starved to Death, for Jovonie"
The sad truth is this four year old child died of starvation on Christmas day. Even sadder there are probably a million more like this.
Thanks again,
Shirley

I enjoyed it Laura everyone made me feel welcome with lots of energy and smiling faces or was it moons?
Some great readings, makes me want to write more and hopefully get as good as you guys.
Got stopped on the way home at border control in Westhoughton. They said they it was because there had been an uprising in Wigan.
But I explained that they had got their wires crossed.
IT WAS A FULL MOON RISING !

Hi Matthew. Good to meet you at the Tudor last night. Have you run across the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins? I think you might like it. Pied Beauty may be a good place to start.

Hola Cynth!
Hey thanks for your note on Tigerella :)
My daughter was born breech, but I was cut so didn't rip (ouch!!). I still tease her for being awkward and coming out arse first into the world hehe :D Fifteen-odd students and a top consultant at the business end...you have no shame after that!

Hi Laura, thanx for your comment on Seven Billion Reasons, great feedback, yes I still ponder over it and if I think hard it still blows my mind. I wanted to build up a crescendo in the poem with the numbers throughout reducing to one. Yes I dont think we appreciate it enough, anyway glad you liked it, hope to see you soon, WOL on Sunday! X

Thanks Chris, I love all things Schiele - such a beautiful soul and creator. The story around his mistress, Wally, breaks my heart. There is a collection of his letters that I have been trying to get hold of for a while.
Have you ever heard of a band called "Rachel's" (another favourite)? They put together a whole album for him. Beautiful music. Here is a snippet (if this link works)

Take care.

Comment is about Marianne Daniels (poet profile)
Original item by Marianne Daniels
poeticide is a good word. i keep the ones that are important. some get deletisized.the genre thing is really to say i have a distance from a lot of my subjects but make them personal. some turn out to be something i want to keep personal. sometimes i write for me. sometimes for others, but i agree that nascent maturity allows for me to see that sometimes what i write is an elaborate escape and sometimes i like to keep it real.

Welcome to WOL Mike! I read your bio a few days ago and the reference to the spirit level made me smile - there has to be a poem in there somewhere :)
Just turn up at the Tudor - everyone gets to perform on the night. We don't have guest slots, so have a little more time to play with than other venues - which is just as well, since it can get busy sometimes.
The venue is run by John Togher but Louise Coulson will be filling in for him over the next couple of months cos he's just had a new addition to the family :) Look forward to seeing you on Thursday. x
(And yes - teenagers can be a trial at times - like when you have to clean a house full of puke up in the early hours of a New Year...)

Hi Isobel,as I'm a virgin to write out loud and the protocol of comments, blogs and electronic discussions. I've only just read your stuff i.e. Made of Love. Brilliant! I've got a 14 year old just like that. I wonder if our parents thought the same about us at that age?
I was thinking of coming to the Tudor on thursday cos I want to learn more about different styles etc. If so, whats the protocol? Do you just turn up with your stuff and put your name down for reading or do you have to contact anyone first?

Many thanks for you snort over Father and Son. I too have snorted when someone was sat on my face!
Comment is about Laura Taylor (poet profile)
Original item by Laura Taylor
What ho, Isobel? Many thanks for your comments on Father and Son and Walford. I am unsure of the causality between Father and Son and the discussion I started on Better Looking Poets which was turned Feudianly by Rachel and you into a bum fantasy. If I have planted pleasing thoughts into your heads then, in the words of the hymn, "my living has not been in vain".
Unlike Father and Son (which was genuine marriage guidance counselling) Walford was pure whimsy.

Hello AE. Thanks for your thoughts on Father and Son. Perhaps I should have entered it in the "Joyeux" competition. The idea of those ladies sitting on my face is extremely uplifting.

Hello Dave. Thanks for your thoughts on 1962 and Walford - a bit differnt from each other in tone. My memory of the Missile Crisis was that the world out there suddenly mattered to me in a life-and-death way. Walford is my usual nonsense!

Thanks for your thoughts on 1962, Tom. It was the first time I was given an inkling that world "things" affected me, disturbingly in a life-or-death way - not something would would want a 10 year old kid to have to front up.
Comment is about Tommy Carroll (poet profile)
Original item by Tommy Carroll
Thanks for your thoughts, Greg, on 1962. I would have been 10 at the time and it was a realisation that the world beyond school and home and family was very big and not a place for me to play in; and that those stories they said on the news affected me.

Hello chuck - just read your updated grumpy-arsed profile :D
What does tend to happen on WOL - to EVERYONE on here - is that you get most of your comments in the first 48 hours of putting it up. I think this is because there are a certain amount of regular readers/posters/contributors, and they will be the people who see it and comment. You may get the odd delayed comment, but it happens to everyone.
Here's a big tip though - because your monthly entries 'stack up' in weblinks at the bottom of your most recent blog, I find it much better to just put one up at a time, and then leave it a week before putting another up. I've not read them yet, but I see already that you put up five yesterday. People will only see the last one you put up, and not everyone will be arsed enough to backtrack to the previous ones.
There y'are, don't say I never do owt for ya! ;p
