We can all relate to your words in some respect Rosemary, because nobody wants to be ignored or feel the indifference of another they have loved.
Powerful lines:
'It kills me slowly, stabbing the goddess within
It razors my heart in two
And leaves me longing for word of you.'
'a void unfilled now grows within
A black hole in my soul'

I really like this poem. The image of the cat caught my attention straight away. Then, the "I too was hunting" section brings in regret and memory in a very moving way. A thoughtful piece.

"Her breasts are a rhyming couplet"
Probably the best line of poetry I have came across in my time on this site.

You've changed your tent - you need more diamonds for a tent than a tit ... well perhaps not in my case ... I don't own a tent. :)
Love it.

I really like this, agree with Graham, very charming. I can also identify (if you swop the shes & hers to hes and his), which I guess most of us can at some time or other.
Well done.

Hi Isobel,
Thanks for your comments on 'Play Me', glad you liked it.
I've never tried a didgeridoo ... I don't think I'd be able to blow one, I prefer something much smaller and with a little more sophistication to it - like my clarinet. I agree though that finishing on a diminuendo is lovely.
:)

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your very generous comments on 'Play Me' - you're up the right tree, so to speak, though - no, sadly, no lover present.
You should definitely post yours! - I love Sheherezade! :)

Hi Andy - thanks for your comments on 'Play Me' - glad you liked it. Perform it live! ... I think I'd be way too embarrassed! I have only managed to perform one of my own live so far, and that was with Paul & Winston's support - utterly nerve-wracking!

A quirky little poem Dave - I like the ending - there's more to all of us once you look inside.

I love this Ann - all of it. You pretty much sum us female poets up - we love with body and soul - and words are just so important.
The ending is perfect!

This may be better without the third and forth verses. But as I hate making decisions I left them in! Maybe because they make her seem like a real person I wanted to keep them in there. xx

There is a prayer-like quality to this Ann. I liked it but was also unnerved by its rhythm, strangely.

This has really pleasing little hooks that amplify what is a quiet little piece. I found it tender and charming.

I guess I was dreaming of a time when the lion would lie down with the lamb etc, and was given the idea by the little picture (top of this page) even tho' it seems more domestic animals are involved here. So I won't be applying for that job at London Zoo then!

Well, my point has been validated. My London geography is so bad that the place is not even in London. My knowledge of Liverpool is strictly limited to Brookside Close. Pretty shameful considering my Dad lived down there for 5 years or so.

Thank you so much, Chris, Ann and Greg. I am fond of the first verse myself, one of the better things I've done. Don't like the 2nd verse so much, though, especially the last 6 lines, never seem to get them right.
Comment is about Bad Faith (blog)
This is magnificent, Ray. A poem about reality, but still very much a poem; fine language, structure and rhythm. You can't pick out one line that's not excellent. The final couplet is very powerful.
Comment is about Bad Faith (blog)
What a fantastic poem! Had to log in specially to say that!
Comment is about Bad Faith (blog)
Utterly fantastic poem, reminded me of Tim Minchin's style, very sharp, no hiding behind bathos.
I do worry though about becoming a 'heart-sink' myself, as my list of ailments increases at each birthday! Ah well ... as you say elsewhere - a marathon, not a sprint. :)
Well written, enjoyed it very much.

Re "Family" poem. Gordon Bennet! I don't have to make sense do I? ;-) Anyway, thanks for commenting. I guess, Tommy, I was trying to imply (possibly in a Native American animal spirit way - tho the animals are not from there - except eagles) how I would like to choose different characteristics from different creatures, to be my ideal family. I am not a very literal person!

Very impressive Ann! Trochaic tetrameter indeed. Longfellow would be beaming at this African variation of his epic.
