Catching up.
Glad to hear you were there back in the seventies. (It took me ages to work out what those ladies that used to drop in at Chauffeurs did for a living)

Did my first poem (9 minutes!!) at O`Connors to warm applause..then completely cocked up the next three times I went.

Hi Sian

Never knew there were so many words begining with 'sw' you have used them so effectively that this aspect of the poem blends in beautifully. Liked the squeaky creations

Thanks for Betty...

I`m incurable, John, can`t get past that it is a sacred duty for the poet to praise the opposit sex.

I keep hoping that the sisterhood night reciprocate, but (as someone said at a recent reading) it could be a case of identification.

Thanks for your comments on "In the Bleak Mid-Winter".
I'm re-reading Bernard Cornwell's "Stonehenge" from which I virtually plagiaried this. It's absorbing and inspirational.

Hi Neil. Thank you for your kind comments on my poem "He Didn't Care". At the suggestion of John Coopey I have posted a second poem "He Didn't Care Too".
Yes the illustrations are mine. I love this site because I can add my own drawings and audio(If I take the time to record it).
Your poem "Tough Love" is very accurate. I too care but let the everyday matters get me down.

Thanks Again,

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Thank you for your nice comments on my illustrations. I love this site. I can add my on drawings, and audio if I have it recorded, to my poems.
I took the advice of John Coopey and wrote a second poem, "He Didn't Care Too."

Thanks again.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Hi Andy. Thanks so much for the kind comments on my poem, "He Didn't Care."
My husband says that some of my poetry is to dark but he likes this one.
I do tend to go for death and beyond poetry.
I took the advice of John Coopey and wrote a second poem entitled, "He Didn't Care Too."

Thanks again.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Hi Isobel. Thank you for your nice comments on my poem "He Didn't Care."
The story I had in mind is that his wife knew he loved her very much. But he was in shock and his family and friends couldn't see this.
I took the advice of John Coopey and wrote a second poem entitled "He Didn't Care Too."

Thanks again.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Thanks for commenting on 'Around All Our Tables', my response is also shown on the poem's page so that it can make sense to anyone who wishes to see it in context. :)

To answer your query, you can choose to use 'up' instead of 'down', or even 'along', though it is rather more usual for similar phrases to use 'down'.

Big hugs for you my friend, and a Merry Christmas (perhaps you celebrate it later as in the Russian Orthodox calender?)

Take care, Dave

Comment is about Dave Dunn (poet profile)

Original item by Dave Dunn

Thanks for comments Isobel. I grew up under the constant threat of the mushroom cloud if the Cold War had turned Hot. We schoolchildren were told by the Jesuits during the Cuban crisis, that at no time were we to be more than four minutes away from the chapel as that was all the warning we would get before we got incinerated. Four Minutes was written to try and convey this to a generation brought up to think warfare is just a computer game. Our student protests were anti-war – todays protests are about cash.
References: to Journey’s End is to the play by R.C. Sherriff.
Runnymede, this was our school playing field.
JFK, President Kennedy, visited Runnymede Magna Carta memorial.
“irregular motions “etc from Catholic Catechism, meant ‘wanking’ to us of course.
And yes, boarding school was brutal then.

Thanks for your view Isobel.I am sick of the stereotype of so-called "Real Men" in the media-especially that on TV-which potrays men as foul mouthed, loud mouthed boors and bores(like those who joke about killing cyclists or shooting trade-unionists).
Real men,just like real women, can be weak and stupid, but they can also be sensitive,vulnerable,and emotionally intimidated and damaged by aggressive verbal and physical behaviour from women.

Thank you Shirley, I really appreciate your kind comments about 'Couldn't Care Less' (I do really of course). It encouraged me to share some of your work which I very much enjoyed. I agree with your sentiments in 'Homeless', it is much easier to want to do something than to actually do something. I have dug out a poem I wrote on a similar theme called 'Tough Love' and posted it as a blog entry if you get the chance to have a look. It was your poem 'He Didn't Care' that really caught my interest as it seems to parallel 'Couldn't Care Less' in some ways. I like your illustrations too, do you do them yourself? As a matter of interest I found 'Couldn't Care Less' scribbled on a scrap of paper tidying a cupboard where it had lain forgotten for I don't know how long.
