Thanks Greg for your insightful comment on 'Scholars'. It's hot off the press so I'm still tinkering with it. I had thought of putting an epigraph from Wittgenstein at the top of it: 'Die Welt zerfallt in Tatsachen' - 'The world is divided up into facts' - but thought that might be taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut! I must say the Victorian classroom wasn't much different from mine in the 1950s!

Hello Shirley
Thanks for commenting on my two poems "Fix" and "I Dreamt You Were Little Again".
There's a saying, "When they're young they break your arms and when they're older they break your heart". Kids!
I've done a few about my kids but be careful if you stumble across some of my more risque stuff.
On the audio front, I'm sure a predominantly British audience would love to hear your Southern tones. I know I would.

Hi Andy, thanks for commenting on my "A Silly Poem About Hair". Ann Foxglove's poem "A Silly Housework Poem" inspired me to post my recent poem.
My latest poems have been dark and I needed to lighten the mood.
I do have a lot of nonsense/silly poems. I have to think hard about which ones to post. Some are cute others just plain weird.

Thanks
Shirley

Hi John Glad you like the Scholars poem. It was inspired by a recent visit to Reading Museum. I had never heard the phrase 'ragged school' before and just wanted to get it into a poem by hook or crook. I must say that I also didn't see much difference between the Victorian classroom and those we had in the 50s in my own school!

Hi Dave,(Necropolis)thanks for commenting. Yes the monks are very much still there and many improvements made to the old Anglican church buildings which they took over (perhaps I should write another stanza to include that aspect).

The estate is looking so much better than you will recall from ten years past but there is a long way to go and the actual owner of the site was involved in quite a lot of contoversy which appeared in the papers.

One can't help thinking back to when the site was first opened and how magnificent it might have looked with an abundance of gardeners in attendance etc.

Many thanks for your comments on Hic Haec Hoc.
Was Latin something that only boys studied? I've never come across any woman who ever did. Where did they take you when we were studying it? Was it to feminist lifeskills class where you learned Manipulation, Emotional Blackmail, Credit Card Skills, Conversational Memory Recall etc. (They didn't do Map Reading, though, did they?).
I suspect I should stop digging!
Seriously, "hic" means "this", as does "haec" and "hoc" etc. HHHHHH are the nominative and accusative cases of the pronoun "this" in their masculine, feminine and neuter genders.
Any wiser?
In the next lesson we will study HHH in its genitive, dative and ablative cases.
When you've got this we will do it all again but in the plural.

Thanks for your comment Elaine. Yes - it was a different one for me - just a reflection of a mood I was in. I've had a good read of your latest and enjoyed. I'm never good on commenting on nature poems though - they don't quite reach me in the same way.

Thx for the comments/feedback on my last Laura. You understood my thinking behind the poem completely. Daft I know but I searched for a couple of hours just to find the right word for the title Haha. To get something that eluded enough without telling, to be understated without being totally obscure.

My Best

Hello Shirley
I've just taken the time to read the samples on your Profile page.
I was very impressed, particularly with "My Mother's Gentle Hands". I posted one on a similar theme called "Fix" from the perspective of the parent rather than, as yours does, from the child.
Keep posting.

Hi There thanks for your constructive comments on the 2nd of these McCarra experiments - harm resistance. It is a running debate as to whether an origin statement should be included. I currently think it should but both ways (With or without) have advantages, Win x

I was made up to find it there, was only looking for The Bidding and must have missed it first time around.

Aye, me other half is a Leonard Cohen nut, and played it to me :) I love that 'we are ugly but we have the music' line - making me fill up just thinking about it!

I shall look up that band you mention :)

Thanks for reading Janis.
She was a bit special, wasn't she?
We have a kid in our village who reminds me of her. I first saw her about 3 years ago when she was 13 at a school talent competition. So shy she didn't speak or look up. When the music started this huge voice opened up from the bowels of the earth. I shuddered.
She's in a local band now called the Lucettes, which you can find on YouTube.
On another front (and pulling in the thread of sexy songs) did you know that Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel was about his relationship with JJ?
