Hi Tom, Welcome to WOL. Your two samples in your profile show some great writing. Both have a religeous aspect to them, is this a common theme in your work? Winston

Hi Kealan, Thanks for your comment on 'The Cleethorpes Treaty'. I really enjoyed reading 'Logic, Reason, Perception, Experience.' I think it is really clever.

Thanks for the comment Beulah. What a shame you don't live up North - you would be most welcome. Have only just found out that you are female - your name sounds a bit adrogynous - I always assume people are male and your poetry dosn't give anything away. Used to live around London myself some time ago. Have plenty of friends down there - perhaps I'll make some of the poetry venues one of these days...
Thanks again. Isobel x

Thank you for your comment on Coming Home and also Alfie. I might just take Chris Co up on his suggestion and blog the latter - it is my favourite and has a lot to say.
Coming Home was about a failed emigration, marriage and life... Having read through it again, I can see that it works just as well for a soldier coming home to family - particularly if he questions the validity of the war he fought in and why he fought for so long. I am really glad that the poem works on so many levels. Thanks for the time you took to read it. I am now going to comment on your latest. I hope you won't see this as tit for tat - I had already scan read it and agree so much with the sentiments in it - I just find the number of blogs going up overwhelming sometimes - impossible to keep up. xx

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the tip. I have seen Gemma Lees poem "Keep Talking", liked it and said as much. Liked you own poem on Churchill as well.

Thanks again,

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
Grad
Grad

Peter
Petro
Lenin

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.

Comment is about Winston Plowes (poet profile)

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
