Hi, Ann. I truly meant to contact you yesterday, but I got caught up in my oldest grandson's sixteenth birthday preparations - it IS a milestone! I don't know exactly where you live in Cornwall. I was thinking of you especially just in case you were in the flood zone.

How do you get on 'voice' for reading?

Thankyou for your comment Dave. We do all have masked front in place and you have gone straight to the heart of the matter in that only certain people i.e extensions of trust, are allowed behind the mask.

Thanks for commenting on my space poem. If I added another line it would have to begin with the letter S or D. Otherwise my capital letters at the beginning of each wouldn't spell 'space' :-)

Yes, Dave, you are right it was a long shot but hey why not? It was simply the caverns reference that had me thinking of the Kubla Khan caverns!! Glad you lked the "On the nature of.." Wondered if it was a bit too much on the gloomy side but then I do love a good wallow! Is your similarish poem on your blog? I'll check it out now - I hope it is. Thanks for your support.

Your haiku efforts were excellent and very well received. I think I'm coming to your conclusion that less is sometimes more.

Hi Dave - I like a lot of yours & it's very interesting about the photons & news to me. I posted a poem not-so-very-long-ago (old father time) positing my view that there really is "No Such Thing as Time". This is my firmly held belief, which, if true, might help to avoid some of the anomalies & problems which particle physics currently seems to be struggling over. just my 2 cents. all the best. B

Hi again :)

Ha, yes indeedy, sweet catharsis! It's a fine fine feeling to be able to make something good out of something so bad.

I like your interpretation of the bike title...and it can also be seen as bike = cycle ;)

Thank you again for taking the time to read and comment Elaine. Would be good to meet you some time :)

Thank you again, Anne. It is a funny little poem, born on a depressed morning. Not brilliant.
I find your poems like water colours, picturing detail and conveying a mood. Each one well worth reading.

Thanks for your comments Elaine.I like your first profile poem. You convey very well the morning mix of practicality and mental exertion required to get out in the morning. 'Cold water...cleans away night's fears.' I really identified with this.

Hello Elaine,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on "Pals".

Comment is about Elaine (poet profile)

I see what you mean. it is a huge cliches but I feel that each couplet in that is a cliches maybe. When I first wrote that poem I played about with the punctuation but it didn't seem to work in practice. On the page people seemed confused and when I read it out I left a full stop beat.

thanks for your feedback :)

Re: your comments on my comments (!) on your poem "Beloved" - I feel the same. Love for a child is something else altogether.

Thank you for your comment on my "Post Past". I must take some time to look at your recent work. I looked at my settings, never having done so before, and saw that, by accident, you were on some kind of excluded list! So sorry - it means I haven't been able to see your recent poems on the blog. I shall rectify that tonight.

I'm glad you made the connection of hydrate with tears - that is what I wanted to communicate - the idea that your tears could be used to bring someone back to life - it isn't overkill for me - I like to express myself passionately.
I think deep down I probably was thinking about the love of a mother for a child. I have never loved a partner with this depth - though as I said before, I know such love does exist - I've witnessed it.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and to think deeply about the words - I really appreciate it.
