Thanks for your comment Andy - I am always dead nervous putting up a new one - no I haven't performed it - it is hot off the press. Not sure if you ever read my Mixer Tap Madness one - it is several blogs ago but it was inspired by your 3x short poems and seemed to get good comments - your name came up a lot! Cheers for reading.

good stuff, Steve.. I thought it was quite subtle when you read it out the other day... I must admit it is even more subtle on page.

Good stuff, Chris. Enjoyed your stuff at W.O.L. in Sale the other week! With the quality you clearly you have in your writing - am generally surprised I hadn't seen you perform before in the 'Manchester Scene' (lol). Are you doing any other readings? You should..

I like your new structure for the shit fuck wank theme, Winston. But why not just replace the whole thing with just the one word 'shit'. Go back to writing poems like 'Flirting' Sebastian - it was uncontroversial but very beautiful. And can you see what I am doing? Getting dragged into it all over again. Some dogs never learn new tricks! LOL

Hi Sebastian. I guess I feel it need something else to make it a better more poetic piece. e.g. Rhyming / some cleaver twist / interesting shape on the page.Win

Why don't you type the title in the Blog Title and just copy and paste the poem excluding the title - it would look prettier then.

I interepreted it so differently. The frustration and outrage arising from the fact that there is nothing to watch on the box but football. You're at it again Sebsastian.

A litany of swear words can be poetic and capture the emotion of the moment, even better than a "normal" poem would.
It is the outburst of anger/dissapointment of a man who really should be more concerned with getting married this summer.
Says it perfectly, I think.

Graham, true. This is not a poem! Win

You are entitled to be utterly wrong, but it IS a poem.
It fully sums up the feelings of a frustrated football supporter, after an inept/heartless display. In fact, you'd struggle to say it any better or with more emotion.

No it isn't. It's a litany of swear words. you would have achieved more doing it in Spanish.

Hi Stephen
You were very helpful with your comments on the 1947 short story- I have re-drafted and was wondering if you could read and feedback on its development? by email or shall I blog again

Thanks Francine. Truth is it takes a lifetime to read the whole manual and learn the controls. Then, just when you think you might make a fist of it, you become a Dalek. (A bit dim, with a silly voice and can't do stairs.)
