This is a great piece Ann. One meaning of 'Ghazal' is the dying cries of the gazelle as you may well know so that ties things together nicely. Clever to how you have incorporated the different words for this type of animal in the first line of 6 shers, maybe they could be placed more evenly in the ghazal? liked. Win x

This is a fine lament, steeped in classical 'hopelessness', the enjoyment of unrequited love. You have a deft feel for the ageless romance of this theme.

Thom, try googling StirredWomen if you haven't already. She is definitely associated with that poetry group. I hope you find her.

My sincere thanks for all comments. IF I ever had a favourite work of my own, this MIGHT be the one. The girl was/is me, already then a 'physical woman', so early. This is the only admission to autobiographical content that I will ever concede. Children make their own 'happiness' far more inventively than adults do. I have always felt blessed by the Celtic genes from my Irish forebears, a spiritual bond with nature that could never be out-doctrinated by religious influence.

Why have you got Boccioni football player tagged to this. Is it a joke?
Is it the punchline to the next poem?
Comment is about Funny Boned #2 (blog)

Liked this, especially the first verse. I think it's skedaddled. Talking of punchlines, whenever I see the name Tommy Carroll I think Stand-up Comedian. Funny that.

Good performance piece this in my opinion Chris. Very topical and i love how you manage to portray 'the same old story' theme using old fashioned language then bringing it up to date using Jeremy Kyle.
I detest that show! ;-)

Hi there
WOL chat has a few little foibles that can make conversation challenging. I'm guessing from the long silence that you navigated away (there's no turning back sadly)and I was talking to myself (cut & pasted below)... hope it was of some help. You can message me (or any of the admin. team) if you're still having problems
Cx
'a few changes on site yes -
if you got to your profile
on the right hand side you will see your last few poems - you can access any one by clicking on it
the way blogs display has changed
so only your latest blog will show up - but the others are all there
if you go in to your latest blog
you will see underneath
all your previous blogs for the month in blue
we were trying to find a compromise that would suit those who were finding the many blogs difficult to navigate but at the same time not restrict those who like to write more
oh - and chat on here is hopeless so if you've navigated away from this page ... you can't get back and i am now talking to myself'

Hi Chris!
Thank you for the comment on 'Funny Boned' I could not view it and now that I have re-submitted it (slight edit) the submission 'Middle East' has disappeared! Has there been a change in the 'format'?
