Thanks for commenting on the Woolies poems, Jeff. But don't worry about binge drinking and the Broken Society: that nice Mr Cameron and his friend Mr Clegg will fix all that.

Hello Ann!Thank you for your comment on dandling the baby!I created the music 2 days ago (and the new on my profile) for a show I'm doing but thought they sounded rather daffy when placed with an image. Yes, the granddad does look like Hugh Gaitskel! I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it. And I absolutely love your audio piece -- it's beautiful, mesmerising, and there's something mysterious and ritualistic about it that makes it seem a tad threatening -- as in a kind of bewitching. All your work has the thrilling fizz of enchantment about it. xxxx

Thanks Ann for your heartwarming reply.I think people like that must have no compassion and don't think about the effect that comments can have and its a case of ..kick a dog when it's down..I am so glad that my inner strength kicks in but just think of the poor soul who doesn't have that inner strength ..no I don't want to think of that as it is so sad. I send love back to you ...Bernadette x x ps. my view is people have the option to not offend so why do it,and keep an open mind don't forget to read between the lines x x

Hi Ann just noticed your comment on my blog entry ..Hopeful Recovery...Thank you so much for fighting my corner for me .At the time of the entry I was going through a relationship breakdown and was very emotionally charged which reflected in my poetry. I hadn't long joined WOL.and had already expressed that I was a novice.I looked up the person concerned's profile and it spoke volumes to me regards his character this did make me feel less upset but nevertheless I didn't submit any entries soon after that as at the time of reading that comment it really stung and knocked my confidence a little.I can now happily say that I am now over that period in my life hence I decided to try again this week and I am more than pleased at the positive comments that I have received so once again thank you...Bernadette x x

Thank you for your very considered critique Cynthia...The tongues reference is an observation of how when she listens she rubs her tongue over her teeth in an unconcious effort to look both charming and interested...

Once again many thanks!!

Dear Lynn! Thank you so much for your comment. I don't know myself how I managed to write "rocket" instead of "racket". When I've noticed that mistake I laughed at myself.

Great moths. Good to see you in Hebden. Must catch up on the barge, linzo wants to see it too. That pub and that Bus was whacko and fun Win. Good poems form the Hebby team! Glad I made it, but driving back that beast across the moors was tricky! Dark and tiring. I ended up city watching in Preston and Blackburn, the odd Honda CRX race 'n' all!

Thanks Isobel for your kind comments on "Flesh", glad you like the re-write. To be honest, I wondered about the 6th stanza myself, and couldn't decide whether to keep it in or not. It's always true people will think differently but I value your opinion, thanks again. xx

Hi Ann, thanks for comments on "Flesh". I often do put in the odd humorous comment, so the "too hot to handle" line was intentional, but if any of the rest sounded comical then it wasn't intended! I shall post a free verse version as well.
Lol, love your comment on him being a language teacher! My REAL guy is the one who started to snore in "Warm Embrace", so this guy could be anything really, though I did say French AFTER A FASHION! Lol, Lynn xx

Hi Lynn - I just saw Isobel's comment on Flesh and your reply to her about rhyming etc. Funnily enough, you said that rhyming works better in an amusing poem. I think that with Flesh, the rhyme almost made it into an amusing poem, which was probably not what you intended! It would be interesting to see a second version in free verse and compare. x

Yep - I hear what you are saying. I often start of a poem in free verse and then whittle away at it until it near as damn it rhymes - it must be the musician in us... or old habits dying hard LOL x
