Thank you dear Lynn for the comment on "Her Name Was Love". I respect and value your comments. They really help me and inspire. Every time I reread my poem I make some changes. I think today I made about 20 corrections in this poem. When nobody writes the comments I lose interest to this or other poem and don't look at it anymore. I think it happens with everyone. So, I would like to tell you once more: Thank you so much! With love and warmest wishes, Larisa

They cut into the hill
Like detectives chasing down
A cold blooded killer
On the run

Thrusting into bush and tree
Across moonlight before the wind
At the furthest edge
Of a deserted train station

They cut into the past with a dagger
Across the evening colours of the sky,
Reddening with light

Warning all to run away

Pictures of their bombs still scar my memory


Even though

I wasn’t there

Hi Cynthia, thank-you for reading and commenting on 'Velvet' - always appreciate it. I think the lid got nailed down some while back, I just can't seem to help scratching at the lining every now & then.
Are you going on the Hebden weekend? I'm really hoping to actually meet you one of these days! :)

Hello Win, apologies for tardiness -- you were very kind about a dab of odd music I posted: thank you. I wanted to say how much I loved your gently powerful ghazal for Pakistan. You have such a lovely lyrical voice, all your work is touched by a shiver of magic. Moxy xx

Original item by Kate Tym

Hi Cate, yep, I realised you realised (this is sounding funny, isn't it?) it was Middle English but I did a bad explanation of why I used it! There are connections and connotations that seem to have been weakened over the years but the power of the original (aided by the spelling) seems somehow as vivid. Thank you again xx

Comment is about Cate (poet profile)

Original item by Cate

Hello Cate, thank you so very much for your comment and for staying with the poem. I decided to use Middle English phrases with contemporary English in an attempt to capture the connection the language used to have with mystery, otherness. And I really like your Biting the Bullet piece, too -- it is powerfully musical and haunting. Moxy xx

Good Evening Isobel

Thank you so much for your well meant Mmmmm...and implied 'Bang'

yes I must admit to owning succulent lips... however the image is sadly not mine but having said that they are not my first choice of colour...it would play havoc with my high lights.

Once again so many thanks for your comments.

Thanks for the extra interest, Win. Glad you told me, since my email doesn't direct me to the source anymore. 'the little leaf' has since been revised a bit, (not yet posted) to be more directive. How egotistic is it, that I come back to my own work and think, 'I like that' as though I had never written it at all. This is a big confession!

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for comments on Medicine Man.
I always value your opinion.
I know what you mean. I think I may have got some inverted iambs.
I read it out for the first time on Friday. Not easy.
