I don't have an imagination. Oh Gus Gus. I do not create I merely script! Cell phones to ears, not talking cell phones or cell phones ears to hand. Surely. Oh Gus Gus I think you did this deliberately! in glove? Rushing.....roaring?
I never rewrite or change; that is beyond critique that is critical! I shall now go, and you can deal with your frustration brought on by the 'antisipation' of the awaited surge. Me, I await no surge. I edit your thoughts. What is the definition of edit in a literary sense, of course? Did you edit? You critique you.

Petrograd is a Russian version of Petersburg. It was renamed when Russia entered the First World war.. We didn’t want anything sounds German and Petersburg is a German name, burg- city. Bolsheviki can burn in hell as much as I care.. Ask me why and I tell you a point of view of a Russian historian who lived thorough the Soviet era..

The city with three names:
Burg

Petrograd is the historical fulcrum.

Viva the Bolsheviki !

Thanks for ur comment. Being a misfit? I moved totally alone to a new town where I knew no one here at all...15 years ago.It isn't easy.I had left a Religous commune that I had been part of for 20 years. Its good to relate to poems. I like Jessies poems on that subject,too.

It has been said, ' A poet's conciousness sometimes occupies the space between worlds' your poetry is inspired as such, and moves me thus. Particularly Ode to a poet.

I have edited as requested... I like the poem very much... important to hear it as well as be frustrated by the antisipation of the awaited surge.

Going home

homeward
Cars
bumper to bumper
Gridlock
Trucks, buses, coaches
Idling engine
noises,

Reverbs.

People walking
talking
Cell phones
Ears to hand
Hand in hand
in glove
Close together,

Plotting.

Women chatting
Buddies hugging
traffic moves

Relief – freedom
Rushing, gushing, pushing
roaring
Like a dam burst
Open
ravelling
Going in the same direction.
Home.

Hi Cynthia

Thanks for commenting as ever. The poem's structure (if that isn't too grandiose a word in the circs) flows from the importance of the initial letter of each line. I hoped that would be clear, but it seems to be another 'live and learn' one.

Hi Winston, I equate Mercury/ Hermes also with Woden. He has a rich collection of associations with smithcraft and technology. Also with language and communication. I think the Internet comes under his remit too.

Original item by Winston Plowes

Hi Freda, Thankyou foryour comments onthe Silver Surfer piece. As the Herald of Galactus, the surfer can indeed be seen as the Mercury role. Ancient myth and legends are still great stories today and if their themes can be recycled in a different format then great. I am interested in the surfer more than other superheroes as he is a tormented soul. Possessing such massive powers which ienvitable end in the destruction of lives and worlds. His character is more detailed and emotionally deeper than others also. I had not thought about the parallel with current global environmental issues but I guess that's there also. Thanks for your detailed views. Win x

Hi Jeff
Thanks for your comments.

I live where the Glastonbury Festival takes place, and so I understand what you mean by the vivid picture you paint of the festival site. Maybe you're just 'trench' weary. Hope you decide to make it next year.

Take care

Hi Steve, glad you liked my poem 'Taken'...
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

What ever do you mean by this?
'It's a bit durrrty though!'
Hmmm... Does this reveal something about what's in your mind?
Because... I could have been describing the thrill of a dance (dance)... ; )

Steve thank you for your kind comments on eleven/eleven. I agree with your view on reportage.
strangely I had these few words in my mind "we break our men" for over a week. It wasn't until I suddenly thought of the juxtaposition of poppies (as in Flanders and Afghanistan that the other words came.

Thank you Winston for your comments on my poem 'Taken'...
always greatly appreciated.

I did read Andy N's (as you had suggested) and commented.

I really like your latest, but a bit confused by the ending, so I am reading it a few more times...

p.s. Is the typo in the title of your poem on purpose?

Thank you for the warm welcome Michel.

I do hope to furnish you with poetry that is 'divine' in the coming winter months.

I read Oblivion and the words explore the title well. A bit too gratuitous for my sensibilities but extraordinary and powerful idiom you have. 'blithe oblivion' 'lamenting crimson' 'demonic expiry'. I wondered if the variation on elipses length of five dots and four dots expressed any more than had you used large gaps to signify time passing? but that's a mystery I shall have to take to bed with me this evening as I'm sure it is too late for you to respond tonight.

I look forward to reading more from the Francois canon in due course.

love

Gregory S Nussbaum.

Good evening Winston,

Thank you for the welcome to Write Out Loud website.

I read a few of your poems and enjoyed them: For some reason I was reminded of Cathy Grindrod with some of your rhyme schemes. She is really good as I'm sure you'll agree. So I do hope you take that as a compliment.

I look forward to reading more of the Winston canon in the coming winter months.

love


Gregory S Nussbaum.
