Hello Cynthia, huge apologies for not responding to your very kind (and hugely flattering -- made me blush and then check I was reading the right comment box on the right profile!) comment sooner. I've been battling crazy deadlines and then I couldn't access the site for some reason until ably assisted by Mr Paul Blackburn. Heck, if you could see me you'd smile. I'm just a small bundle of excitement and curiosity. I'm also horribly bookish and probably decidedly odd. If I were a character in Harry Potter, I'd be Luna Lovegood. I'm going to be at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre on October 29th in the great hall from 6-7pm doing a musical thing as a loosely connected part of Manchester Comedy Festival. It'd be lovely to meet you if you can come along! Moxy x

I also meant to say I love the descriptions of Nature in your work, too. You can summon a whole season and terrain in a few words. Extraordinary!

Hello Jane! Big thanks for reading Cross Species -- you're quite right, the insurance costs of hurling/retrieving footballers by playful scientists would be extortionate, but I bet it'd be fun to watch! Love your Duck Parliament poem especially -- your work is so wonderfully vivid and full of gloriously unexpected twists and turns. Moxy x

Wow - the Edinburgh thing sounds great. You should write about it and send it to features - they've run a few things about it. I'll be mortified if you tell me you already have - I forget to look there - but always make the effort to read the work of people I feel I know.

No, my youngest is moving out, as a student, leaving myself and David. I will miss the noise of "children." I took a children's poetry show up to the Edinburgh Fringe for 8 nights with Jenny and her friend, Grace, performing. It was all,very exciting.

Thanks for your comment on my bullet poem - you picked some of my favourite bits - if only I had the time to polish it better. Are you going to write one? I love reading themed poetry - am not always able to do it - have to be fired up at the right time - it's nice when it comes though. x

Hi - bullet - many thanks for the comments. I went once many yrs ago when me & my friend were camping nearby. Having biked all day, I really didn't want to ride the 7-8 miles back into town, but had my arm twisted. It was totally unreal - at 8pm ALL the traffic stopped, Everyone stood still & it was absolutely silent, then he played. If I ever hear the last post or reveille now, I cant help blubbing, because they were paying tribute to us - the Brits - in a city centre in another country, and they do the exact same thing every night. I dont think anyone could not be moved by it. Thanks. B

Sorry about the last poem being not terribly nice. I'm afraid it did exactly what it said on the tin :) It was the way I was feeling then, today I'm full of Jolly robins... Love Comet Tails, truly stupendous xxx

I dunno - you're missing out on posting some great stuff - you never did post the last "private" one you sent me either - you really should - they're both great & would add a little spice to the proceedings - only my 2 cents & much appreciated anyway - but I think they're so good they deserve a wider audience IMHO - I wish I could "write to order" like that XX

Yes Greg - should have been expedition! (Comet Tails poem.)Thanks! I see what you mean about the first bit. I was originally going to call the poem Mother/Father, contrasting the quiet warm comfort (mum) to the more exciting adventurous (dad). May re-do. Ta again!

Dave, thanks for your feedback on 'cryogenic'. I'm glad you found some interest in there, it was a bit of a stream of...type poem.
I like your 'PapaOscar' poem with the 'rarer/sierra' couplet being a fave of mine. 'Fear/Ikea' is another fun couplet, I have an Ikea/BnQ poem which I would like to share with you, maybe read it out if I see you at a reading. Pete.

Awww thank you - it came as a great shock. Just as well they've disable comments now - I'd probably get a lot of disgruntled folk slagging me off. Good to see that someone also reads features on here - I often wonder...xx

(you've got wood)- No Isobel - I think you got it just right - women ARE far more mental (at least most of those I've met) :)
I too saw many horrendous sights going up those bus steps - obese 60+ yr olds in sussies is enough to put you off for life - well, nearly. PS did you listen to the vid ? - it's worth it :)

Thank you so so much for your kind comments on my Field Boundaries poem. It is the first one I've really put concentrated effort into, having just been on an Arvon poetry course. I had found it a bit disconcerting, having to cut and chip and edit away, wondering if I'd lose whatever it is that I sometimes get into my poetry. Your comment made me feel that it is worth trying harder and thinking more. Thank you so much. xx
