Saw Jon perform once upon a time in the bowels of Bolton Museum. Was a wonderful experience. The world has lost a great entertainer.

Anthony, first let me thank you for your heartfelt and ebullient comment on 'Stark cold truth'

I have just read your poem 'lifelines' and it is a fantastic poem with a rich tapestry of well woven and unforgettable images. On the strength of that one poem I can't believe you are not published as I have read with some poets of fine repute and it reminded me a so many poets, from the accessibility and execution of Auden, to the warmth of Khalil Gibran. It also reminded me of my friends poem 'Allihies', go to Mike McKimm's website to see if Allihies poem is on there - I think you'd like the inspired response from a poets stay in somewhere as beautiful as Allihies.

Fine poem sir, we should keep in touch occasionally as I am sometimes in Cornwall and if you are ever in Coventry I co run an open mic at the tin angel on mideieval spon street, would love to collab a performance with you !

Hi Cynthia

I liked your comment and I want you to always feel you can be bold as honest critiques are such a great compliment opening up new possibilities for the writer and the reader.

The title is ambiguous and could serve as a national or personal description of a Mother. The tools in the two flag are symbols of the industrial proletariat and the peasantry; placing them together symbolises the unity between industrial and agricultural workers. This emblem was conceived during the Bolshevik Revolution. I guess the line skinned moon from there own struggling flag describes the peasants who created the symbolism believe in in it ne more, after retreating to cannibalism during the WW2 the irony of them eating each other and skinning a labourers sickle with a crescent sickle of moon shows the destruction of something natural (moon) and something vile (the loss of identity of a nation).

Thanks for commenting on my Stalingrad poem Cynthia, its refreshing to take time out from my manuscript and read some intelligent feedback.

Hi Isobel, thanks for your comment...
and give up poetry? I can't do that, it won't leave me alone :-)

I don't think the subject of the poem is in denial, hence the question mark in the title. I think the subject of the poem is fully aware.

ps I don't think i'll be on here again until the move has taken place. Just tried to blog a poem but there was no space to place my entry :-)

Odd though this may seem, you are the first person to ever ask me for beauty tips...

I find growing my hair down to my eyebrows helps to volumise the lashes - though this is not always easy for the male ostrich.

You could instead leave your eyebrows to grow bushy - another little tip of mine!

Or, if you bat repeatedly, this also has a volumising effect - be careful who you do it to though, it can be misinterpreted as an preliminary mating ritual...

You look very manly in your new pic Winston - though I keep wanting to turn the picture round cos you seem to be defying gravity!

Hi Winston, thanks for your kind comments. I really enjoyed hearing your Best Before End on this website, I think I'm approaching that myself! I'll hopefully be over to Hebden in July or August depending on my work shifts. I really enjoy hearing your poetry there and I wrote this poem inspired after hearing you there the last time: She wants to hold my hand, she wants to hold MY hand, YES!!!!!!!!!I am loved. Cheers again, see you soon matexxxxxxx

Hi Miss Lucy! I like the work you've posted so far! As for feedback from people who know what they're doing...I can't promise you I'm one of those people but as far as I see, what you're doing is pretty good so far!

I look forward to reading more! :-)

Hello Dave, thank you for finding the vintage piece, you're right, it is made from a vintage two- lined thought..circa 1995.. and some of those recycled words we spoke of, held together with a brand new giant tube of Pritt and an olive on a stick(the twist).I'd like to make a small Dali-ish house out of those lovely builders yards full of reclaimed materials in the same way,and then you'd find a strange little alcove where you weren't expecting it,or an elephant on verrry long legs peering in thru the upstairs window..trying to rrrreach that pinball machine with his trunk..ping.. ; ) xx

Comment is about Kath Hewitt (poet profile)

Original item by Kath Hewitt

I keep going back to Visting Neil -I cant quite believe how good it is. Given that we are all on here working with words, it seems that adequate words escape us when we are smitten by words put together like these. This is one of my all-time favourites, up there with Robert Frost, John Burnside, etc. I'm not saying this just to be kind, but it is very rarely that one comes across a work so moving or so "right" in every sense. I think you can be very proud of yourself. all the best. B

Money's a bit tight
so I wondered if you might
be my own shining Knight
and fix my rear light
(the penultimate right)
then I'll be safe out at night
spouting poetry shite...

That's the trouble with old bangers - they slowly fall apart without you realising. Never mind LOL - shoes can be reheeled so cars can be repaired. I shall get them to sort it out when I do my MOT. Thanks for the tip. x

Tee hee - have only just realised that was a poem 'what you wrote' on my wall... was wondering why you'd chosen to post it on WOL!!!
