Dear Lynn! Thank you so much for your comment. I don't know myself how I managed to write "rocket" instead of "racket". When I've noticed that mistake I laughed at myself.

Hi Steve

Went to this last night with Chris and Barry and was glad to have the chance to say personally what a very good play it is. At one level it is simply a good story, well acted, with some nice touches of humour. But there is a lot of sharp observation in there and some real hard questions about modern life - nicely understated.

I liked the way you didn't "over-write" and left the actors scope to use what you gave them, which they took good advantage of. It was well-paced and there were no weak scenes. I particularly liked the centrality of Rob's wobbly attempts to hold on to his humanity amid the pressures and confusion of his situation. The play definitely deserves a wider audience and a longer run. Many thanks for an enjoyable and stimulating evening.

Hi Cynthia

It was good to meet you at last in Sale. I would agree with Isobel's comments, particularly liking the emphasis on humanity in the midst of chaos and violence.

It worked really well as a performance piece, we were all struck by it, early version or no. Yet at a casual glance I would have put it down as more of a page poem. Not being a poetic technician I can't say why that should be so.

Larisa, I had a fortnight's holiday last month, and so only recently read back through a lot of June's posts. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed several of yours!
p.s. glad she's now taking a tennis racket on to court, and not a rocket! lol. Best Wishes, Lynn xx

Great moths. Good to see you in Hebden. Must catch up on the barge, linzo wants to see it too. That pub and that Bus was whacko and fun Win. Good poems form the Hebby team! Glad I made it, but driving back that beast across the moors was tricky! Dark and tiring. I ended up city watching in Preston and Blackburn, the odd Honda CRX race 'n' all!

You relate the feelings of longing and wonder well in this poem.
Fantastic line:

‘Could you think of me sometime

Maybe... while we're still alive’

Hi Jacqueline - maybe to the boy in the poem, whatever she smelled like would be the smell of sex to him, as it was his first time. I don't suppose with her 40 watt light bulb and dodgy gas fire she could afford Channell No 5 though - maybe there's a Superdrug version!

Ann, what to say, I am shocked, I listened aswell! What can I say, I am but shocked, you are so naughty, I giggled and giggled, but in a funny way it's quite good, it must be the way you tell them, I didn't like she smelled of sex, though, spoilt my picture, I thought she would smell of channel no.5!

this poem has nowt to do with me. i was making point that itd be better if you would criticise poets directly or any poet could take offence. but like you i couldnt give flying fuck so we do have that in common at least. i have egotistical splendour a much more pleasant condition in which i so rudely believe that i may comment on this site wherver i like.grandeur may affect a man to think his work is above reproach or criticism...i say bring it on bitch you and all your kensington hard men...or you could explain your contraversially interesting poem instead

evokes the last line in
"Blue Velvet" where the robin sits on the windowsill - this vision harking back to Sandy's previous description from her dream that the world would be filled with robins & filled with love.
