Hi Ann,

This reminded me of:

And, if I'm allowed to slightly modify my previous comment, that voice is extremely seductive!

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...

Comment is about Green is.. (blog)

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.

Hello Ann
Just got your comment on my page about abandoning ship.
Please don't.
I haven't followed all the thread I commented on as I've had two problems. Firstly, I was in Scarborough on holiwags so I could only respond by mobile text and secondly, I've got worms computer virus kinds) so I haven't been able to log on when I got back home.
Anyway, I don't know all the thread, the heat etc. All I'd say is you seem a nice person and the site would be poorer without you.

Comment is about Glitter in an Afro (blog)

Original item by Mia Darlone

Hello Mia. Some wonderfully daft lines, e.g.
Your charisma melts away my guard
My priority is not just to make you hard
I want to embrace balls lovingly
Like Frankie Lampard. and
If you were a coat I’d wear you in summer
Morph myself into a guitar if you were a strummer
And happily have a sex change
If you were a bummer.
You could easily finish there, I think,the next 4 lines aren't so good but lots of nice stuff, on the whole.

Original item by Kealan Coady

Firstly, thank you for your comments on my poems. I enjoyed them very much and I really like the interaction this site provides, especially towards a new member like me.

This is my first exposure to your work and I almost done myself a mischief after the first verse! Mama Mia! After that you really get the sense of anti climax, disappointment and awkwardness. The final verse just tails off just as many of these encounters tend to.... or so I'm told.

Excellent. Couldn't think of any others though it did occur that removing the 'd' from drainpipe makes very little difference.

Anthony, thanks for comments on Gloria. I've done the odd homage to JCC, saw him perform a couple of weeks ago and he was brilliantly funny. On the other hand, saw him at The Big Chill last year and he was poor.

Comment is about Nash (poet profile)

Original item by Nash

lot going on here cynthia.. although it is a poem (and a piece with lots of dialogue which i particularly love!), this could be expanded certainly into a short play or story indeed..

good stuff either way.. really enjoyed it!

Comment is about Morning on the Mall (blog)

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

Beauitful, Dave..

To be honest, I would changed the last line to read

'Your caring,

a kiss'

this will it makes the point more at the end at it.

Otherwise, i love this.. it's a heart breaker in a nice way! lol

Close to a bit of prose or a diary entry this, kath but i like the way it develops and i am sure we can all agree it on the last line! lol

Comment is about Free time (blog)

Original item by Kath Hewitt

Dave I have read several of your posts re Liverpool and kensington and commend you for your positive outlook in what is the most deprived area of the UK (HMG reports)and things change at the speed of decades! My reference to prostitutes (which I do not ridicule) and 'poetic prostitutes' of which I do. The first is a matter of fact: after a 'clean'-up' of the formally notorious area around Faulkner square and Anglican cathedral, Prostitution was 'moved' to Sheil Road and a 'blind-eye' taken by authorities. As I say I am not criticising women for this. The 'poetic prostitutes' and the verse in which it contains is one as you say written in 'poetic' language...tourists as commonly understood are not involved (lol). I will leave you to gather its meaning. ;0) I have lived in Kensington in various locations: Connaught road, Shiel road, Huntly road, Boaler st, West Derby road, and 4 other areas very close to Kensington most of my life in the Shiel road area. My ears prick up when Liverpudlians and pity are mentioned in the same phrase. A contemptible term invented by the media and repeated ad-nauseum. I hope any rereading of the poem is enhanced by the above post. Thank you for your time and comments. ps The area is being demolished, some decent houses and facilities may come of it.

Hi Tommy

As you know I lived on the patch for 24 years and yes the girls on the game are part of the reality. But tourists? What part do you live in, I never saw any. Maybe it's poetic licence in what is a powerful poem.

There's another side to Kensington - positive stuff happening. It's a right old mix

Lovely sentiments Dave : )

p.s. If someone texted me those words - I think my heart would melt.

Comment is about To a friend (blog)

Original item by Dave Bradley

I agree with what has already been said...
Fabulous lines and references!

'she taught me French and schizophrenia
when I only desired to be between her.'

'a gun in my hand and a dying arab,
the farewell note when I wake from sleep,'
"Parce que, tu es un stereotype."

Nice one Cate

Comment is about Tosspot! (blog)

Original item by Cate

Ray, this made me smile with pleasure. I too liked the lines: "she was three years my senior,/ she taught me French and schizophrenia" but also, rather to my surprise, "in this life it's shit or be shat on", which has a wonderful, forceful rhythm to it. I also enjoyed the references to Patti Smith and Camus, who, I'm sure you know, was also a goalkeeper. I used to possess a treasured Philosophy Football sweatshirt with the words 'All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football,” emblazoned on it. Sadly I no longer fit it.
