Sorry Laura I've only just seen your message from Nov 2nd. I'm glad that you're getting the better of things and you're probably right that when I wrote that I was probably in a similar frame of mind. I'll try for the next Tudor.

Cheers.

Neil:)

Thanks for your comments about "The Man and the Boy". Yes, there's no doubt that between Mackay and Bremner my allegiance is as clear as between the fire and the fire brigade.

thanks anthony - sometimes I reckon it's just good to do "other" things = invigorating. I think this is why a lot of folks like camping - it's getting you "out of the house" for a bit.

Hello MC. Thanks for your thoughts on "Vertav alle ze vishiz gon?".
This is one the otter/mink didn't get - it died before it got it!
I got given 4 like this about 5 years ago. Only got 1 left now.

Liked 'Breakfast Pots'. Humorous topped with a light sprinkling of pathos. But really.. it struck me as sad and doesn't it sum us all up!

Hi Ann

Thanks for commenting. It says "turning on"! The original was indeed, something along the lines of turn on, tune in, drop out but I couldn't get all that in. But as it is it does make sense, honest. x

Hello John, re; Chattering of Twites, I'm here in the UK (Woking) when soon after hearing their unmistakable sound (which had everybody peering into the tree)I got home and switched on the telly and was astonished to hear the same sound albeit I did not get a good visual because of the dark. I am a member of a wildlife group and will run it by someone if I get the chance. We are getting some unusual birds here though having seen cormorants in canals etc. We also have quite a variety of hawks. Appreciate your comment and sorry to hear about your fish stocks.

Good afternoon (again)
your comments, as ever, are much appreciated. the ramblings of one returning to childhood are just that, but it makes one realise the things that one took for granted perhaps

Hi Ann
Pleased you enjoyed 'Childhood'.
I've found that just about anything and sneezing is painful. I have (on the odd occasion) sneezed whilst breaking ****, and that is unbelievably painful. You don't know which end to concentrate on :-))

Hi M.C.
Absolutely no apologies necessary. The end result was still the self-interest of the Union man.

'Undermined', I thought you were referring to the goo ants converted their prey into. Gourmand slobbering jelly eh? OK we'll go with that.

Hello Greg. Yes, you're right "Now, then" is a Yorkshire greeting similar to "Sithee!" and you're right it is more a tone of challenge than of caution. I could imagine two stags greeting each other that way!
When I first came to Barnsley as a 22 year old I nearly fainted when my landlady called me "cock". A boy can get the wrong signal!

Comment is about Greg Freeman (poet profile)

Original item by Greg Freeman

Hi John. I always thought "now then" was just a kind of Yorkshire greeting, like "hello", but with more of a challenge to it.

Hello John, 'Undermined' guess the insect world is pretty gory eh? A sort of mass Hoovering device for recycling. Can't help being mesmerised by it though - often think of comparisons with human heirarchies.

Thanks for commenting.

Dear Elaine,
Thanks for the comment on the haikku - absolutely loved the last verse of your poem 'The Old World' (and that's not something I get to say very often...)oh dear that sounds so .. (word beginning with 'p')...parsimonious but it's a beautiful stanza

Morning Neil

Thanks for your note. I'm getting there, but it's all been very 'on top' for a few weeks, one fucking horrible thing after another, and it all kinda battered my head into submission. But - my chi is rising with each day :) I just saw very familiar thought patterns in your poem :)

Next Tudor?

Hi Ann

Thank you for commenting. The competitions have only ever been a matter of individual initiative. If you wanted to get the ball rolling on another round, the field is open! Though running the open mic evening may be taking as much time and energy as you have for poetry. Good luck with that.
