I like this too, especially the first two verses - "I thought you were a god – a diamond on every angle, giving me a face and light;" is wonderful. xx

Hi Rodney, thanks for the feedback on my comment. I'm never too sure about giving what others think of as constructive comment. I agree with Jane now, it's quite funny. :-)

Maybe the wife just wanted someone to stay home with her sometimes eh.
and there's just no pleasing some either.

Really liked this Marianne, particularly the lines -

I bloated myself up with ghosts
And they passed through,

- and the images they conjure.

Thanks for your patience, people. I feel like an idiot. I'm just going to have to write one, a villanelle, to cement it in my brain.

You write well, Kathryn.

Personally, I hope writing and sharing your poems is channelling anger, despair and grief out of your head and heart.

Comment is about standing scarecrows (blog)

Hello Cynthia and thank-you for your comments on my poems! Vampires are something I've always been into, both as an aspect of folklore and of what they tell is about the very human conditions of lust, greed, obsession etc. I think they force us to contemplate the darker side of humanity and focus on the one thing that fascinates and scares us all; death.

I wrote the three poems as a way of indulging myself in a favourite topic of mine as well as getting in touch with my darker side which is a focus of much of my poetry.

Also, did I mention vampires are cool? ;-)

Isn't it fab to have a roll and tumble in sentimental lyricism - and you've done it so beautifully! The images and musical lines are lovely, crafted with your special skills, especially word choice. In addition to 'Unchained Melody' I could hear the strains of 'Love is a Many-spendoured Thing'. And the best part is: why not? This overflying style is 'fresh' and 'romantic' for younger generations. Give us more.

Fabulous title. Very engaging, very distressing poem - that one so young has such 'sadness', has 'learned' to be 'solemn', and only 'forgetfulness' reveals the true childish nature of 'mischief and wit'. Surely it is a social poem with a strong message - What do we adults do to children! I avoid using the idea of 'circumstances' because adults are interpreters of circumstances.

Comment is about my little me. (blog)

I'm presuming that this series is one great metaphor about the meaning of life. Or maybe a film script for a horror movie - except it seems to have more point than simple atrocity. Would you make a comment? I'm interested.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for your comment. I dont take comfort in knowing that it summed up your life, but i do take comfort in knowing you survived.Your "Though The Demons are Waiting" is excellent, so much hurt but also the optimism from your son. To a child a caring mother will always be god.love richard

Liked this Greg, for some reason I seem to be reading lots of war poems at the moment. this would sit nicely amongst a collection of more gritty ones. It shows a different aspect of the war and is really cleaver at the end which leaves us with a what happened next feeling. Could there be three dots at the end to enphasise this? Win

Chris Co asked for an audio - his wish is my command! In a funny kind of way, this poem is my female/healing/lovegoddess version of the Easter story. Maybe if I'd posted it on Good Friday it might have been spotted. Or if I'd come up with a different title. xx

ah now thats a poem.clever and lovely.i used to be sort of scared of my brothers action men but i think it hilarious now as my friends son had 100s of them in his bath. they were like big unshaven spiders with wierd side glancing eyes...but not scary cos they were only sams and he was dead cute.Dolls I hate and was once tarred the problem child of the street cos i was caught tying a doll to a swing and beating her up...being a girl was not really for mex

Thank you so much for your comments. It was a great review. It was hard to write and harder to share but you used the word brave, and that's what I was trying to be. You really captured what went into the piece. Again, thanks so much.
