Hi Alison
Welcome aboard the WOL site.
I love the way you talk about the 'artless office enviornment' in your profile, the way you say that...I can feel the frustration. Maybe theres a poem there! ?

Loss on paper -
makes me feel of those moments of self analysis
or realisation of what has become

almost like a tide that came without notice
or perhaps a withdraw of the tide to leave nothing.

and you look at what you have, and it all seems empty.

Hi Sophie,
What a lovely, warm response to my poem. Thanks a lot - it is a great feeling to know that one's words can warm others don't you think? All of the people in the poem exist - the "chicken man" was such an irrepresibly cheery chap and sooooo proud of his chickens! (His wife, who we only heard from inside the house, made it clear that she was a bit less in love with them!).

Thanks again.
Robert

Blimey Phil, there's a whole book here! My favourite is still the one about Lorna - reminds me of when my sister's mate went to an 'anything but clothes' party wearing only turf.

Good Day Philip

Thank you so much for your time to read my poems. I want you to know that your comments mean a lot to me. Every word has its value in comments. I do believe that commenting gives the Author a feedback and the desire to write more, as it is very motivating knowing that there are people out there who enjoy read poetry. You have a great talent in writing. Your feelings are very real and true.

Thanks again,
Zuzanna

A great poet who'll be sadly missed.

“Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men” Quintus Ennius

A man to be remembered through his control and quality of words. We shuold all recite to each other an Oxendale poem next time we meet.

To the bearded bard!

Hey Nicola...I got a comment! :-) Interesting observation on "A Pair of Boots" by you - in fact there was a last, redemptive verse originally but I dropped it.
A pretty true story by the way, except that I hope that I've brushed the clay off now!
Thanks for popping by.

Hey Hannah, I love this poem. It is very atmospheric: the joy of colour against the drab, harsh, inhospitable background of this urban churchyard. Your eyes were painted, almost like rose-tinted specs giving you a brighter perspective on an otherwise sombre place with a sombre name, though you don't menton it: Blackley: the old ICI dyeworks.
favourite lines: we watched the stars switch on, writing the dyeworks into the sky.

Hello Carol ~ All your poems are very creative. You have a vivid imagination and fantastic mind that creates all sorts of writes. Did enjoy the futuristic poem the Year "2020"-Creative vivid and tasty with all those Cyber fruits etc...


"The gift

Spread your arms to catch the wind
Keep the rain in the skies
Absorb sunlight through palms open
To air unhindered
And sweep the moon on its side
Fill it with pity
Set it free
Let it fall to earth
Accepted,
The gift of experience"

THE GIFT"' - It is somehow my favourite.

Fabulous Poetess you are!!
It is great pleasure to read your words.
Sorry for the loss of your little four legged friend.
I love animals and my favourite are dogs and horses. They really are good friends of a man.

Thank you for visiting with me on my page.
Warm Regards,
Zuzanna

Original item by Elvis McGonagall

this is great stuff.

I really love this part of 'in sleep'

On grubby skin
A bedpost leg
A rotten peg
A spring un-sprung
A mattress wrong
A sheet undone
A little one


when I read this selection of poems I was quickly taken in had to read all.

as Julien says, very tightly written, tricky thing to do.

original and bitter sweet
I see the influence of being a mid-wife, how this must open your eyes and spirit to sometimes the tragedy but more importantly the fantastic things in life

I think that a career as a mid wife must give you such a huge platform of experiences from which to draw some very emotionally writing.

I find myself intrigued and I don't know why, and I find that intriguing in itself.

I feel strange as I spent a while on a photo assignment in Billinge Maternity Hospital, and more recently Southport. I think I found the room in which I was born. The very first view, the very first wall upon which I gazed.

you have inspired me to go write a poem.
I have the urge and its always the emotion that drives me.

Your collection of poetry is inspiring.

thanks

Hello Philip

I enjoyed reading your beautiful writings. All the poems are excellent! I regret we do not have the opportunity to hear the writer to read his/her poems on the stage… Most of these performances take place in Toronto or the cities near Cosmopolitan Toronto. Reading loud it is a great pleasure for the Author as well as for the Audience. Then you can also hear others read their work, which must be fabulous experience. Your romantic writes are the best; you know how to use humorous lines that catch the audience attention.
Thank you for reading my ‘Sentiments.’ I appreciate your comment.

Hope you had beautiful Valentine's Day...Zuzanna

Carol, fantastic poetry. 'Unplanned. is very moving, tightly written, spare and compassionate.
'I found you' is almost a Haiku in encompassing so much detail in so few syllables.
If you are Wirrall based you might consider reading your stuff out loud at the wirrall Ode Show Poets. I am sure they would love to hear such lovely verse.

Richard,
I love what you wrote on Zuzannas profile about the Doors, I think Jim Morrisons is certainly one of the best poet and songwriters of the 21st century - good to have some one who recognises such talent - good luck with your work - I look forward to reading more of your poetry.

Hello Richard

I have found your writings interesting and diverse.Your ideas to create a poem comes from different life experiences. At times perhaps observing people... Etc... This is great point as it gives the reader a choice to learn something new from each of your poems. You have way with words which is great gift! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the comment you recently left on my latest write. The poem is based on my own life experience. Great Intuition !!

Hi Honey, I hate myself for this as I'm always wittering on about the genius of young people but I was shocked to see your pic as I figured that poem was written by a much older man, please don't take that as an insult - I think it's cause the character in the poem seems so much older - I don't know I think maybe because of all the religous references in some ways I pictured Jesus talking to Mary Magdelain. I look forward to reading your other stuff - I just read this poem again and every time I find something new in there which is the mark of a good poet!
Good luck with it all.xxx

Hello Richard

Your varieties in writing that give more broad spectrum and enjoyment to read. The poem will be very boring if there were only one style. The more styles the better. I see you being very gifted and it is good to have you here. Keep up the great work!
It is mutual pleasure to read your writes.
