Thanks for taking the time Kealan, glad you enjoyed it
I had to sort of sneak Dylan into my son's name, but it had to be done. Unfortunately he dislikes it to the nth degree.

Good Evening Cynthia,
Four Ways Five...just my way of saying,
'More than... and every which way' , at the same time.
Consider yourself clued in...
Thank you for your lovely comments.

Hi Cynthia
thanks as ever for your considered comment on my poem - in the poem i switched the light off to let the room take shape - though the immediate perceptual would tell the read otherwise
curious to know how you would do the equal line thing that you mention in your comment?

Try copy and paste the link into address bar. It should take you to a youtube clip of Lawrence Ferlinghetti reading "The World is a Beautiful Place" He has a more rambling approach to poetry. He is 90 this year and has certainly loved life.

Yeah, I saw Control. It's quite hard to believe that someone so talented would be driven to such extremes. Thanks for your comment.

Good Morning Isobel
It's so difficult at times to write of 'Love' in a joyous way... usually the venom of love has its way with my pen and restless nights...
Thank you again for such an indepth critique of my poem.

I just loved the gender-longing in 'Gallop' and the edgy senuality of 'Jam' - really envigorating stuff, especially that 'rough chest'... cheers.

Hi, Isobel, thanks for commenting on Perfect, and Jenny!! However, this poem is a romance, not about motherhood. Love, with an image of an eclipse of the sun as I know of nothing else which would eclipse it. I love your site as you know and the red shoes. best Janexx

Thanks for your comment Dave. I agree, the situation's not quite as bad as in some countries. However I am disquieted when we or the Americans use phrases such as '...for god and country...';
I think the relationship between the (Christian) church, the political establishment, and the arms manufacturers and the military is not a healthy one.

Thanks for your comment Kealan. If you live in Bolton, you should try to make the next poetry night at the Howcroft - there is normally a good gathering of poets there - though most of them are a good bit older than you! Hopefully see you around. Isobel x

Hi Cynthia. Sorry I am late replying to you, I have limited internet access. Thank you for you feed back on Victim Empathy. The Bullying experience is true, However Although I wonder how it would be for me to confront the people involved-I havent actually done so. As the poem says, I feel it would fall on deaf ears if I did so. They would not accept that it had been that bad.
I dont live within the experience, but it does have knock on effects sometimes. It was good to get it all out in writing. Glad you like it.
Look forward to reading your work on here.
Take care em.

Hi Nicky, I've just read Crisis in the Skies and I think it's fab. It's right up my street, I like the humour, the story, the structure - very good. Quite Blakeish but with a cheerful ending! Why the minimalist profile? I know you do much much more than just write.

Hi Neil, thanks for your comments on Cemetery Gates, the reference to the dead lying in line is more a reflection of her not being able to move in in that even they aren't bothered that she goes back mourning day after day, all a bit morbid I know! cheers Jeff
