Bringing up a child is a minefield and no-one gives you lessons - all you can rely on is your mum's example and not always that. I hope that when the time is right, you get her back. x

Hello Sue, your words struck a chord with me as I lost someone very close a couple of years ago. I feel that to enjoy our lives we have to jump in and go for it - you sound a very caring thoughtful person, but joy is, I think, as important as anything else in this world. So . . I hope you enjoy being part of WOL, and will write more - and that, indeed, it will be many many years before you get an answer to your questions! We're all in the same boat, and as you get older, that's a comfort.

I've had so many poetry miscarriages that this speaks volumes to me. I've not even managed to give birth to one FTND yet

(full term normal delivery)

ie one that is not still in the high dependency unit

thank goodness for poem mothers like Ann F to keep me trying.

What a fab poem! I used to have one of those articulated ladders... I sent for it out of the said catalogue so I wouldnt have to get any more decorators in. Unfortunately what they fail to tell you is that they weigh more than a ten ton truck and are completely useless unless youre Mr. Universe!!!!
I love the idea of the sleepless housewife polishing the heavens.... not that we see many stars these days, but the idea is lovely!

I like the way you balance this tribute with the leveller in the last but 1 verse. I usually do this to add a little caveat.
I bet it was fantastic to of stood there and took it all in.

Hi Sian - again, thanks for your comments. I'm not posting simply because I'm deep inside the forest of 'Old English' (and its verb structure) and covered in heaps of very dry learning. There will be a faint sound of rustling soon - I hope.

Hi Ann, thanks very much for your comments on Sandy Denny and Andy Williams. I suppose I'm wistful only in the sense that she died far too young. I do agree that Who Knows Where The Time Goes is a wonderful song, and there are so many others too. Originally I had the idea of writing a whole sequence of poems about musicians I admired, but these two were as far as I got! Maybe when I take the redundancy ... Greg x

Thank you for your kind words on my poem, 'That Tomorrow'. I am not quite reaching for the rope just yet. I remember reading something in the neww about bankers getting their fat bonus payouts and America spending daft money on the space programme.That got me thinking.and made me angry. Mankind needs reminding that there alot to prioritise and fight for.

That's me done on my soap box.

I agree with Kealan, this is great.
I've only ever heard about the pain of childbirth but i do recognize the pain of trying to get a poem right. Still trying for that matter.
I've lost count of the times the little blighters have been grounded. :-)

This reminds me of putting up the Christmas decs and discovering they don't do what it says on the box. Or they might if only we had the means to reach the sky at night. :-)

Can't beat those little luxuries like ladders though can we? Not to mention the cozy slippers on thick carpets on a winter night. mmmmh.

Freda, Hi... Re Pictures of home. I would love to see your thoughts on this one... very interesting. I am way beyond the stage now where I say " Oh no, you've got that all wrong... way wide of the mark" It's ok whether your interpretation is different to mine, it is just as valid. Just different. Critical or praiseworthy your comments will be gratefully received. Winston (See you on the 7th at the Puzzle) Win x
