Blimey Phil, there's a whole book here! My favourite is still the one about Lorna - reminds me of when my sister's mate went to an 'anything but clothes' party wearing only turf.

This a splendid piece Neil. There is no particular line that stands out, but i did enjoy the line "and the poem is the brains tide stretching". Great imagery.

Hi Clarissa

I wrote this some time ago when a crazy religious cult called the Raelians claimed that they had cloned several human babies. They were most probably lying just to get some media coverage, but it did cause speculation in the press that some very rich old men might be making discreet enquiries to see if they could produce exact copies of themselves before they died.

The reason that I have posted it again now is that a company has started advertising that it will clone pet dogs for people who can't bear the thought of their loved pet no longer being with them. Cloning of mammals is now perfectly possible and as things like this pet replacement develops it is more and more likely that humans will be cloned.

It is nothing to fear. After all, identical twins are clones of each other, but those people who think that they can get some sort of immortality in this way are deluding themselves. that is part of the point I am making in the poem.

I am, of course, immortal because my great works will live on in cyberspace after I have eaten and drunk myself out of my abused body. ;-)

Zuzanna with this poem there is a strong element of truth, embroided with my imagionation.

It did happen whilst I was at college many moons ago and I was the mischeivous instigator, although my conspiators included girls.

Thank you

Hello Lady Valerie

Nice meeting you. I have enjoyed your Blog. Been traveling above your Country But I must missed the spot with the lovely trees and the gate. Traveling by plane not allows site seeing... Smile
It is great to hear from you about the participation in live reading of poetry. I miss that over here. Somehow Britain has more advanced programs and organized evenings for those Gigs...I wished to be there when that takes place. Thank you for sharing.

I love the gigantic trees on your lovely picture.

Warm Regards,
Zuzanna

Hello Carol

There is a lot to be said about your inspiring poem.
First of all I love you characters from your write. The Pirate story is always fascinating!
It reminds of the times when someone has invented the hooks to be able to function with an amputee arm. The hooks till today have been in use. AMAZING!!

GREAT READ!!
Thank you,
Zuzanna

Hello Philip

Did you use your imagination, or this write is based on truth? I my opinion you are to kind for this behaviour…Well you would never be able to take a revenge on someone especially a girl. This was really fun poem to read. I could imagine this poor girl running and screaming from the class seeing you offering a piece of chocolate!!
You are mischievous too…This poem really made my day!

GREAT READ!

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Dear Melissa

These sounds like an echo of my life; I know that I am almost repeating Philip words here. But this is exactly how I feel. Life was not meant to be easy. And it seems getting harder as each year progresses.
You have captivated the moments of reality in a very well written piece of poetry.

This Stanza """The ghost of me remains,
and it is still hard to live.
But I hear my dream's call,
and hope has touched me again."""

I hope this is only your imagination and creativity in this one. But truly sounds close to my home.

Warm Regards,
Zuzanna

Hi Melissa - you posted an entry on my profile page which is don't really understand. Was it meant for me or as a reply to Philip's comments? Either way, I have read your work which I know is done to a very high standard. The style that you use is very intimate with words that appear smooth when the reader 'strokes their hand across them'.
Keep on writing and posting what you write - if you want a constructive critique (let's face it - none of us do - but it does improve our work) then let me know.

This sentiment woven into your poem, hits home in so many ways, an echo of my own life. I wish I had written it.

Hello, Philip

Beautifully etched poem, romance rekindled. After many years still very much alive, it shows in your writing. You are very passionate writer. The love you described so well. These moments spent with your Soul Mate, it seems like a teenage love again.
Fantastic poetry here- really enjoyed reading!

BEAUTIFUL POEM!!

Good Day, Philip

This write is masterfully written - it absorbs the reader attention to the very end. Your imagination is of a Genius'. Thank you for the great read. It is a beautiful story and sad at the same time. This is happening often in reality. I had a friend who went through exact thing in his life except it was him having the cancer. Apparently he survived after the operation but also his wife took him back knowing what he went through (They had 3 boys) - I was very happy for him that the situation has resolved in his relationship in a positive way.

FANTASTIC STORY!

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Good bye, God bless John and Thanks for the memories - I know where ever you are now no doubt you'll be upto mischief!
My deepest sympathy to your family and all who loved you, especially your beautiful dogs whom you loved so much.

A great poet who'll be sadly missed.

“Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men” Quintus Ennius

A man to be remembered through his control and quality of words. We shuold all recite to each other an Oxendale poem next time we meet.

To the bearded bard!

Original item by Phil Golding

Hello, Daniel

Well so much truth in your poem.

"A generation lost its head to computer games
A generation lost its morals for 5minutes of fame
A generation lost its battle with drug addiction
A generation has lost its sanity
Oh calamity
A generation has lost its faith in modern life
God and evolution and theories
make this generation groan and feel weary with despair"

The stanza explains all. The computer make people less eager to be active, less socializing- the games promote shooting therefore the kids do not know any better, they learn to be aggressive and hate another as their brains are being bombarded by these constant fightings.

Excellent summary - we need to learn the good values in order to have a decent life.

Beautifully crafted poem.

Thank you,
Zuzanna
