My flashlight does not require a battery, dear Eduardo. The energy comes straight from my heart. The energy of my heart sometimes requires charging, but it doesn't come from a battery. From what? I won't tell you. It's my little secret. LoL
Anyway, thank you so much for commenting! Regards, Larisa

Keith, thank you so much for your kind words, I cannot thank you enough. I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond, I don't know why I have not seen this up to now. Your description of my poetry is a high compliment, and I appreciate it, and also agree if I really think about it. Your words inspire me to continue writing.

Thanks for you kind words, Rasa.
I suppose we're all familiar with it..."Telephone Voice Syndrome", whereby one speaks in a manner according to whoever one's "audience" might be: my Lancastrian sister, or Marcia Blaine of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie fame😊!

In the case of Nil Carborundum, (still a vivid memory) I was attempting to revert to the Lancashire accent I would have had at that time; that of the little boy who had never left his home town until he was 11 years old. After which, I picked up a Scottish accent, and then, on retiring, a southern French accent, after a couple of extended backpacking trips in France…a fact which my native French mature student examiner noted!

I still hear those broad Lancashire accents on a daily basis, and I’ve made an attempt to record some Lancashire dialect poetry for example, that of Edwin Waugh.

You read so beautifully Uilleam. Such a wonderful accent and speaking voice-you have- and you speak about such raw and important things. Thank you for doing this.

Hi Laura,

I watched your reading of "Revelations" again today, It always gets me, lump in the throat kinda thing.

I very much admire William Blake...so this really appeals to me.

I hope you are well.

Jan,
This is the first time I have encountered your poetry which interests me greatly. Your profile and beliefs are also ones which I am drawn to. I share your interest in the Great War and several of my poems deal with this subject. In particular one poem I wrote about the Somme which is entitled 'Hell's Quagmire'. It is good to make your acquiantance.
