Just want to say, along with the previous posters posts, possibly, that these three are all lovely and greatly amusing. Hope to catch you live sometime.

Thanks for listening to Do the Write Thing, I'm really touched! At least that means about 12 people heard it! :) I've never been on the radio before and it was really enjoyable. The studio is smaller than most people's bathrooms, and gets really hot. Last Friday Sue and I were on with a guitarist and a bongo drum player. And all the mics got tangled up! But it was great! Keep writing!! I really like your poems very much. Wish you got more feedback. Maybe if you commented on some other people's poems they would read yours? But perhaps that's not important to you. Anyway, stay well my friend!

Just to say that I share your observations about "free poetry" being prose with chopped-up lines. I like to think of this form in the
context of newspaper reports. In many instances, they read the same way. Some twit
once referred to Kipling's "If" (voted the UK's
favourite) as "doggerel" in the London Evening
Standard. Clearly a person with little command
or control of the English language, let alone
imagination.

I just read M62! brings back many shared memories on that motorway! I went to School in Rochdale, I still have 3 brothers living there, I moved to Preston and spent many happy years there, until 1992, I moved to Lancs from Scotland when I was 11 years! I liked The Roses divide? very clever xx

Dear Otis, thank you so much for your comment on my profile page, means a lot.

I'm in painting mode right now and haven't visited WOL for some time but will return to read your poetry when I can set some time aside to take your words in.

Look forward to this.

Best wishes

Hi Otis, I dunno whether you have given American a fresh listen, I Put it to Solomon Jabby's - Firmly Planted In Dub record. Added a sample of a pandoras box opening at the end. Give it a listen if you can, i would be glad of your feedback. The original album the music came from is Firmly Planted by Solomon Jabby, of which i strongly recommend.

Thank you for your comments on the original American, that i wrote. Yep, there seems to be a great deal of ignorance around, even after Barak's election victory. If anything, his Presidency seems to give license to those who would say 'They' got what they wanted. perhaps they will shut up now??? But i know myself, its deeper, much deeper. And i can only hope years of injustice, will one day find its peace.

there is more i could say, but i know you know where im coming from.

My wife is a zulu. She hails from SA. I spent time in the region working for the United Nations, and i know at first hand the plight of many at the hands of the tyrannical. Not all ears are unassuming.

thanks once again for your comments. I really like your work and read all.

By the way, my second sons middle name is Otis.
Im smiling at that.

Stay well Otis.

Best wishes and much love.

noetic-fret!

Keep those main lines coming - and branch off
into the sidings of your imagination every chance you get. Laughter is rightly called the
best medicine..and one-track minds like mine
really enjoy your stuff.
Thanks for the kind comment about the audio for
Daddy Knew Johnny Cash...albeit I have "cheated" slightly with the musical setting. But getting the message across is the
aim, is it not?!

Hi Lynn.
Thanks for the comments on my poem, "We Used to Make Love". This is actually a made up poem. The only thing we do fight about it sex.
Him: "Honey I want to have sex."
Me: Again, didn't we do that just last week."
LOL

Hi Dave
I finally took the plunge back in. The well had been very dry for a good while. When I finally decided to get back on WOL there were a lot of tech problems, now all sorted.
You know how grateful I am for your encouraging 'comment'.
Didn't I read that you're on holiday this week? If so, have a good time.
Where to go (that's good) other than Tudor? It would be nice to meet up
