It's run by a friend of mine, Martin Parker -

I feel sure that your work would be welcomed there and wondered if you might be minded to submit a few pieces?

Regards,

Hello Cynthia,
Thanks for your thoughts on Magpie. You're right about the substitution of "probably". I'll bear it in mind when I perform it.

Thanks for reading and commenting on 'War is such a Cliché' - glad you enjoyed it. I feel a bit embarrassed about pointing it out actually - it just seemed to fit with Rachel's thread :)
But thank-you - really appreciate it.

Hi Andy
Within this poem, ‘World’s Turn’ I am trying visualising the mystery and ever changing beauty of femininity comparing it to the daily splendour of sunset utilising her clothing in metaphor.

Thank you for taking the time to read my work and comment

Merci beaucoup Isobel pour tes commentaires sur mon poème

Cela dépend comment tu le lis et comment tu l'interprètes ; )

Alors... Qu'est-ce que tu penses maintenant d'après notre conversation d'hier ???

Hi Andy,
Thank you for your lovely comments on 'All that you want...'
The last line was included for the effect that I wanted to give it ; )

Comment is about Andy N (poet profile)

Original item by Andy N

Hi Dali, I have not come across your work before, and I have just read them all. If you look at my work, it is like running over many years different obstacles, but always the terrain is difficult. In my work, you are on an orienteering course, you come across stoney ground, rocks, fallen trees, puddles, violent rivers, felled forests you have to stride through without breaking your ankles. A lot of this, comes from an ignorant, brutal upbringing, where often issues were thrown at me i did not want to negotiate with, further, military service and the attitude that goes along with soldiering, seems to have imbued itself in my work. It is harsh, and often you run into trees and obstacles that make the journey difficult and tiresome, so tiresome. I say all that, because after reading your work, it is as if (though you have had your difficulties), you have sat by a brook for some years. Meditated, refined your thoughts coherently, and are able through lucid intellect and wisdom; to convey in each verse, understanding, but above all, a kind of peace that i do not see in other poets work on this site, let alone my own work. Some would argue that it lacks punch, but I differ, I think many a man or woman could learn a great deal, about different ways of interpreting the world, by talking to you. Maybe I have it wrong, but that is how your work projects itself to me. It's refine, like oil that has been slowly, and meticulously prepared, for a great machine (in this case, your mind, or heart). I really am quite deeply touched by your work, and in itself, is most definitely needed on this site. I really would like to see more. Biggupz mate, really very mature works. Pleasure reading.

noetic-fret!

Cynthia (Matapos) thank you for being such a spur - I really do appreciate it

incidentally I have visited this place but years ago and these thoughts are still fresh in my mind - another friend (not WOL)who did not know I wrote poetry seemed astonished when she saw this and that I had not mentioned my interest in the muse x
