Letting go of hate is always a good thing, but not always so easy to do, Lets hope this ray of light from Pandora's box spreads throughout WOL.

I expect I'll be disqualified now - calling it a jar an' all. But it was originally a jar not a box I read somewhere. My attempt at rhyming gets a bit lost somewhere in the middle. May redo. But is feels like a race! Great fun it is too!

Hi Cate, Thanks for your comments on ';-P'. Yes some people are conjoined with their phones arn't they... they are worshiped objects for us as are those blackberry things. Are we missing something here? are people more interesting / important?

Wow Marianne! A winner IMO! Wonderful. "training the lock like a tarot", "tipping apocalypse like petals" "Hope, lingering on a hinge". x

Comment is about Dave Dunn (poet profile)

Original item by Dave Dunn

I liked the sharp natural observation in this, Ann, such as:
"The valley is narrow and deep.
Here and there a new stream joins,
stained red with iron"
It's well crafted. "Heavy with green" is ambivalent about it all. The downbeat tone reminds me of the song, Spring Can Really Hang you Up the Most.

Hi A - thanks for the welcome. I've been attempting to revise while at the same time writing insignificant essays - and WOL is more than an distraction if you don't completely divorce yourself from it. However, you can't 'fight the fight' standing on the academic terraces - you need to be in there - up to your scrotum in the mud of goal mouth incident. Blowing so hard that the pea in your whistle shoots a player right between the eyes - as it were.

Hi Anthony, thanks for nice comments on Heavy with Green. I wrote it about three weeks ago, and had a Larkiny feeling in my head, more April is the cruellest month I think. Didn't remember this poem that you gave me the link to until last Sunday when it was somewhere in the paper, as a neglected poem. I guess it's the time of year! Ann xx

Hi Kealan,

Neat idea this, that would merit expansion. Reminded me of Yoda speak in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Hi Dave,

I love it when someone takes an idea (or a line for that matter) and runs with it. Made me smile with humour and admiration. I reckon "The Man in Black" will be smiling too.

Hi Dave,

"Who lives in a house like this?" - not you I hope. Isobel's right - usually the more perfect we make something the more fragile it is. Deftly expressed.

Two other thoughts come to mind - the staggering size and beauty of giant puffballs I saw in my teens. Apparently you can slice them and fry them just like bread (that didn't occur to me at the time - I wish it had.

The other was something I came across recently, and I'm not sure who said it, that "Sainsbury's was invented to keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose." Quite right too.

What? A northerner AND a snob?! Unlikely . . .

Regards,
A.E.

Frustration seems to pulse from this poem. I imagine the walls are magnolia...sounds like hell.
Chaos reigns in my house - wouldn't mind swapping for a while, minus the day time TV though, which I can't abide! Like the ending - it kind of sums up the superficiality of it all...

Hi - I dont know if the word "loose" was intentional, but it works in a quirky way - adds a different slant to the last verse.
