Re your comment on my blogs.
No yes yes no? sorry, not with you there.
I told you the reason i decided to delete all my blogs. To wipe the slate and start again.
but here's one just for you. 'coz angels are not just for christmas either.

A mind awash with painful thought.
Hazel eyes that sting as a
misty glaze takes over
all the good intention.
Aims and targets, wasted time.
A river tautens my skin.
Then, the river runs dry
and leaves me still and calm.

I gazed at this picture and "saw" the trolley rolling towards me. As it slowly rolled down the steps, i was there waiting with my loving arms outstretched, and wanting to scoop you up from the floor. Just like i did with that book. (my book of angels).
Does that sound too dreamy?

The only song which sprung to mind was "smile, though your heart is aching. Smile ,even though it's breaking."

Melissa, as ever your words are beautiful. Time's 'grains of sand' on the wooden floor and 'wings of dreams'. It's all there, a powerful reflection of how we feel when we reach for our true potential. Keep pushing the boundaries, for I've no doubt you will take us with you when you do.

An extremely evocative write. Strong imagery of lifes struggle and the despere often felt as we are drowned in this rat race

Well done

Hi, a wonderful attack on religious fundamentalism. Extremism in any form to me has the devil's fingers in it. Well written.

Hi Pete, I looked up the song, it reminded me of some other songs, by others. So as you know I did take the time to listen to the song and read the poem. Its really very good! I can see how you could connect the two together. The song in a way brought the poem more alive, made it deeper! Dont we all hold on to those little things, from past loves? There is always that "special" one, or two "special" ones.That if given a chance, it could have worked out.Many times for me, a song has made a poem live within me and I put it to paper. I guess the music of Lorenna Mckennitt, may have produced the most poems from me, an almost hypnotic effect, as if spirit leaves flesh. strange I guess, but thats me! great poem.Never feel bad about trinkets/memories, they are woven into your heart and in part made you, who you are!

Comment is about letting go (the cards and flowers) (blog)

I'm not sure if The song is in my collection, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, i'll search and let you know. It's one i'm not familiar with but might know it when i hear it.
I'll get back to you! x

p.s. thanks, it's just an opinion, that's all. it's up to us how we react to any given situation.
Sometimes we have to make a stand or we get walked on, or worse still, trodden on.
thanks again great write. janet.

Whooh! I see what you're saying, i think ?
A lot of what i write includes God. Such as giving thanks asking forgiveness.
Every day is a new day and each and every day we learn something different.
For me, God means good and lives within, all around, above and below us.
On that princicple, surely it's possible that the devil does too?
The mistake we make is thinking of god and the devil as a person/persons. It's people who cause war, disillusion etc...

"The hybrid parasite kicks out with leg" bloody hell thats good.

It reminds of Brett Anderson Lyrics.
he wrote a line once 'bitch of an itch' and it reminds me of some of your stuff.

but yes 'hybride parasite' I like it.
this is also very lyric like and would suit a song.
It also reminds me of the style of early Human League, in particular, the song 'Life Kills' (from the travelougue Album)

great.

Comment is about Womb with a view (blog)

Its very special and moving for me to know this poem has stirred amotion ad hopefully brought joy if only in a melocholic but romantic way to all of you.
My appreciation goes out to you, and Mel and Antoni, so much thanks for what you say.

Ive tweaked this one. I think its one ill always be slightly fiddling with, its carved

If you wish, why not try reading this poem and perhaps play the song which helped its creation. its a lovely ballad by Dave Gilmour. 'smile' from his new Album.

I would like to know if it works for you or at least if you could connect with the song...

I'm very interested to hear from you about this as I am very much into interaction with other art forms. I especially like to know what stirs and whether any new ideas or feelings come forward.

I had to read this poem several times. The repetition gives it a very hypnotic quality and the energy and fire comes through in every word.

What a powerful opening first line of a poem. Wow. "The pain of life climbs upward in a line". it really draws you into the poem.

A truly beautiful poem Pete...emotion simply drips from each line. I think the curve of the rhythm and your line endings are simply stunning.

Thanks Janet, Zu and Clarissa
I will remove some perts of this poem and compact it a bit, I'll be careful to keep the ride going.

Hi Phil, this is really is a most beautiful poem. Somehow "beautiful" seems too hard a word but for the life of me, without searching a dictionary, i'm struggling to find the right word for perfection? Ooh, maybe that's the word, see, it was there all the time and just when..
ps i have to admit to being sad enough to have read this at 3 am. The Dawn chorus is getting a bit repetitive now. janet.

Haaa! pity me then. For the most part,i enjoy it but the wanting of time out breaks are becoming extremely frequent. Hence my economic depression looming !!!

I find depression to be a real inspiration! You've mastered your sonnets, ive never attempted one, maybe I will! Am I right in saying that shakespearian sonnets ended with a rhyming couplet? What ae the rules around sonnets?

Comment is about Dark June (blog)

The more i read this, it wrought so many varied emotions, it was difficult to imagine in ones lifetime. It's a fantastic ride!
I mean read. sorry.couldn't resist.
My temples are throbbing though!

All in all, i think this is a personal best for you.
Great stuff.
(ps. much better than a steam train at full throttle) for me anyway. Janet.

Comment is about letting go (the cards and flowers) (blog)

A very unpleasant character as a passenger.
His mate was very thoughtful though in the front with me. At least he opened the window before he decided to spray the car door with his afternoon pig-swill. Didn't offer to clean it either, ignorant b*st**d.
Shame really, cos when i first looked at your dinosaur, it reminded me of my Nessie poem.
From fantasia to hell in 2 minutes flat. How's that for an emotional rollercoaster of a ride. Hope you're ok.Janet.x

Hi, Zuzanna

Thanks for taking the time to read the poem and comment (thanks for yr other comment as well!)

The intention of the poem is pretty straightforward really: just to put forth my idea that town-planners are a little like kids playing with Lego blocks; and they often have about as much thought for the residents of cities as kids as well. Also I wanted to show opposing points of view re urban development - and that I've tried to articuate via the two different voices. Which brings me onto the form of the poem: it's scattered just to try and demonstrate the words are supposed to come from two, distinct voices. The form is also a tip of my cap to Charles Olson - one of my fave poets.

Cheers,
Richard.

HI, Richard

Interesting with the committee assignments; but what you have in mind to accomplish by those involved. Think this is quite thought provoking write. Why the structure of your poem is scattered all over the page? Is there any purpose for that - Just curious…?

Thank you,
Zuzanna
