Hi Elaine;

Thanks for the comment over My Hometown.
Oddly enough the last line which seems to be going down so well was the line which was the one I was most worried about, but pleased you liked it.

See you soon (I am almost fighting fit now)

Cheers x

Andy N xx

P.S. - The piece is about my love affair with my hometown (Stretford).

Hi Antony;

Thanks for the comment over My Hometown. Must admit it's probably my favourite poem out of my recent few, and it's one that has surprised me so many people have liked as I thought it would be too personal, but clearly not - lol.

Hope you are good

Speak Soon

Hi Cynthia, Re; NON-PAYING PASSENGER. Thank you for commenting and I tweaked the final line as you suggested.

The first line 'Dopey as ...' was simply an expression I often use to describe daft things and had no bearing whatsoever on any particular sexual act. Of course one has to be guarded in this day and age.

Hi John, Thanks for your comments on "Rear gunner" and the "Liver birds."
They say of the Liver birds that: The one facing west is looking out for homecoming seafarers; and the other one faces east to see if the pubs are open. I am inclined to differ; I think it's because they're just not speaking. (One's an Evertonian.)
P.S. "The ghost of white hart lane." gets exorcised next Monday.

Comment is about Dave Bradley (poet profile)

Original item by Dave Bradley

Thank you for taking the time to read and review "Fences".

It is a relationship that ultimately is not meant to be, even though there's love between them. Maybe you have to experience it to make sense of it. There are some obstacles that just can't be overcome - like if one wants children and the other doesn't. Hiding in denial, and being afraid that communicating will bring about the end of the relationship so they avoid comunication, are what the fences are made of...denial and fear.

I appreciate that you consider it well-written.

Thanks again,
Lisa

Hi Cynthia, Re; Colours, strangely enough I found some of the conclusions reached in that programme iffy to say the least.

It's a shame that nobody else commented on your poem I would have liked to see the discussion widened.

Tom, I have been intending to thank you for your comment on my 'O Sweet Confusion", your high praise that it reminded you of Basho. Those lines are among my favourites in all my works.

I greatly enjoy the writing of Haiku and Tanka too, for I find the 'prescribed' syllable structure very stimulating, if I choose to use it. With haiku I always have to ask myself: Where does egotism interfere with sincerity? Cinquains and Diamante are fabulous forms also, in their very structured brevity.

Hey Dave,
i like your opinion on Explorer, it helps to know how a poem comes across because sometimes we put parts of ourselves in them that we're not fully aware of, so thankyou.
