Sorry about the last poem being not terribly nice. I'm afraid it did exactly what it said on the tin :) It was the way I was feeling then, today I'm full of Jolly robins... Love Comet Tails, truly stupendous xxx

Yes, we are all flesh & blood + mortal - very well observed.
Dave - can the words "heroes" and "football" even co-exist in the same sentence ??

Good morning Larisa-your beautiful poem and singing were very very much appreciated I can assure you-yes I understand that you don,t like to be called Aunty-its just that I regard you virtually as family almost-but I shall refrain from adressing you in that way in future-since you are such a darling,maybe that name would suit better-thanks for letting me know about your Grandson and gorgeous McCoy-what an absolutely beautuful dog he is! lots of love from me-and I sincerley hope you have a great day today and everyday-will look out for all your poems and lovely singing-thank you Darling-Stef-xx(M-xx)

the last two lines gave me shivers (you have written something extraordinary there) - then I read Greg's same comments, so I'm not the only one: Brilliant.

You mean Neo can die? Oh no, surely not.

Remarkable and powerful, Izz, especially in the time available. Yes - often when heroes are 'chosen'(England footballers?) they let us down, and everyday heroes get little recognition.

I dunno - you're missing out on posting some great stuff - you never did post the last "private" one you sent me either - you really should - they're both great & would add a little spice to the proceedings - only my 2 cents & much appreciated anyway - but I think they're so good they deserve a wider audience IMHO - I wish I could "write to order" like that XX

Powerful feelings in this Rachel...
Hopefully the sort of self indulgence that eventually brings about a
positive change : )

Mmmm... My favourite, which says it all:
'Bullets bitten are rarely sweet,
swallowed whole,
lie heavy on the soul.'

McCoy is ok. He sends his best regards to you, and my grandson is ok too. But! I still hate to be an aunt. lol I don't know why but... for me, an aunt, sounds not so good. I would like to be understood.Worse than grandmother. Grandma is something sweet.But aunt is an obsolete. May be I am wrong, it's just my opinion.

Anyone brave enough to verse-end Gestapo, Garbo, Bravado and Bardot deserves credit Ray.
Agree with the others. The last verse is high class.

A lovely descriptive Ann. I agree with greg though about the first bit. I'd have liked to have continued reading more like the first verse too.

Yes Greg - should have been expedition! (Comet Tails poem.)Thanks! I see what you mean about the first bit. I was originally going to call the poem Mother/Father, contrasting the quiet warm comfort (mum) to the more exciting adventurous (dad). May re-do. Ta again!

I like this, Ann, especially the final two lines, which are excellent. Should "exhibition" be "expedition?" I sort of wonder whether the first verse actually belongs in another poem, and you could write more about the actual firework night?
