Thanks for your comments on both "Losing Interest" and "Texting". Your views on language and mine seem to coincide quite a bit. However, I am slightly confused to the reference to "Brave New World" By Aldous Huxley when it was Nineteen Eighty-Four that I was referencing in "Texting". If you could clarify on that, I would appreciate it. Thanks,

- Josh

Forgot to say, have you read Graham Buchan's wonderful poem 'Gaudi etc' on his profile.
Much more like the kind of love I know

Hi Nicky
No worries, I was already at the ha-ha stage.
I was beginning to think the 'farewells' were trying to outdo Frank Sinatra's comebacks and farewell concerts.

Hello Graham
I'm not sure if I'm a 'we' but your comment brought your name/profile to my attention, and I wanted to say how much I enjoyed My Gaudi House. I thought it absolutely brilliant.
Perhaps it's closer to my ideas of the expression of love.
Steve M.

Hi Neil, thanks for the comments. Yes the poems are quite dark and the images are intended to be somewhat painful, but hopefully this gives them depth. Thank you for the comments, hope you found my writing interesting. Enjoyed reading yours as well. x

Original item by Neil West

Hi Nicky
I have to smile. I must have contributed the least amount to the Ernesto debate, but he's left a 'comment' on my Profile (and Neil West's) saying that we'' both be surprised at November's POTM, which, presumably, he still gets to choose.
I just thought it odd that Neil and I are chosen for the comment
Have a lovely weekend

Hi Isobel
I doubt you've seen it, but Ernesto has left a little message on my Profile page, and Neil West's, saying that we'll be surprised at next month's POTM
For some reason the kack seems to have been spread in our direction. How did that come about?
A gentle soul like moi

Original item by John Togher

Hi Cynthia, thanks for commenting. Yes there is a significance in the 'pearl' stitch, very astute of you as always, the type of stitch chosen is as important as the fact that she was knitting. Does that make sense?

Hope you are well

Superb poem. Enough to tantalize; insufficient to satisfy. Makes you want more works from the writer because the 'mind' behind the poem is interesting.
Is there significance in the 'pearl stitch' itself by definition? I can't believe that choice of title is casual.

You are so funny, Steve. I'm really glad you came on to the site, and decided to stay. It now wouldn't be the same without you.

Comment is about Have I Won? (blog)

Hi Marianne,
Well to be fair John Darwin pointed me towards this one (I had missed it whilst on hols). Last year I watched a manga film called Elfin Leid. I had never seen anything like this. It was shocking / graphic / bloody and disturbing and affected me a great deal. I found it hard to believe such a strong impression was made by essentially, a cartoon. Now, your poem here has done the same with simply words... stunned. Win

Original item by Marianne Daniels

You have a major point. Even as young as you are, technology is outstripping your own experience, and a new language is emerging, make no mistake. But it is robotic, lacking in beauty. So, the definition of 'beauty' has to change - once again in 2009. Thank goodness the idea of 'beauty' is adaptable, like people.

HI Jeff,
thank you : ))
I fully intended going to your gig tonight at the stubbin' but I'm still in the Dales. I haven't found anywhere to stop in Heb yet. Am down next week for Uni, staying with a friend so maybe see you at WOL? I hope the gig goes well and am sorry I can't make it.Deb x

Joshua, since you enjoy scholarship in its most magnificent sense, take care with spelling and grammar as you go on. I know song-writing sets its own rules, as does, sometimes, poetry too. But you are so talented, go for the highest ideals possible and be a future poet laureate, if the honour still exists some years down the line. At any rate, go for FAMOUS.

By the way, 'fuck' should be FUCK, an acronym for the legal term: ' For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge'. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I happened to read Christine's earlier comment.

you didn't fail Nicky, because you tried, you did all you could, to fail as a mum would be to not try at all, but you tried to save him as any good mum would. I am so sorry you lost your son but as no-one except another mum, I wish I could help you not to think that you failed him. You tried, you didn't walk away or abandon him, you were there for him but he'd already gone and it wasn't your fault.I think you are exceptionally brave, Deb x

I like this - I think probably your best, that I've read, so far. Like Cynthia, I like the raincoat as a symbol of hanging on. Though I do now have Cohen's 'Famous Blue Raincoat' stuck in my head.
