Hello Mae and Ankita - Thank you both. I'm still getting orientated as to comments/likes/notifications/etc so I may be 'missing' somethings I should be responding to. Cyberspace is such a mazing place.
Go well ><>

If you mean the one where I quoted Michael Palin, he said it was one of his favourites, "the Limerick that doesn't work." It was always one of my favourites too.?

the poem is well constructed...
along with the mother,
my wife!
hahahaha
Have a great day also!

just think of all the things a mother does as routine
that she never gets applause for.
let's give her a round of applause Today,
in fact , a standing Ovation!

Loved your bio.. Such a simple yet beautiful collection of words describing about self is really impressive. I loved in the bio how every word captures deep meaning.

DK, I’m afraid rumours of my greatness are hideously over-exaggerated. In fact I read all the poems on WOL.
Your Non-Fat piece struck a chord with me as I have been trying to slim my work down recently too

Best regards,

Graham

Stu,

I am taken with your art as I can see clearly the influence of Science Fiction. I particularly liked the one with the Zeppelin issuing black tentacles. Any more?

Thanks

Hi JC - it would have been fun to meet up in Devon and put the
world to rights but having just completed my "family birthday" visit
to my old stamping ground, another trip isn't on the cards yet.
I recommend a small hotel if you like to plan ahead - called The Downs, it has a great position overlooking Lyme Bay with views to Portland Bill on a fine day. It has numerous awards for its food &
service, with two great hosts in Kate and Ed. Worth checking out
online if you go to Torquay. I always have the same front room,-
with a balcony, ideal for an in-room breakfast on a sunny day! They even welcome dogs (& well behaved owners ho-ho) so that
gives some idea of their flexible family-orientated approach. I was
impressed enough to recommend them on "Trip Advisor". In this
case, small is great!
Cheers,
MC

Hello Cynthia!

Liked your poem '1ast Chemio Session', and as I assume it is autobiographical, am so happy for you to be out of the wood. I had a similar experience 20 years ago, but got off with just radiotherapy, and have been in the clear ever since. Treatment seems to be so much more effective now. All the best!

Hi Ray! thanks for the very positive comment on Hopeless. Glad you saw something in it. I was doubtful whether to post it or not, as it was more a word game than any kind of poetry. I really can't bear to think about not having somewhere to go on a freezing winter night. I was in the ER at the hospital in December, and there was a homeless man I know, 'cos he is always outside our local supermarket. He is at least 65, and was just trying to get through the night somewhere with heating, but they turned him out eventually. One feels so ashamed, even without being directly responsible.

Hi DK,

Only just seen the question about 'keep your pecker up'. It's Cockney, (East End of London slang), for cheer up! or similar expressions. You prob know about Cockney rhyming slang, which is fascinating.

Hi, Jordyn. Welcome to WOL. Very arresting 'title', photo and bio, all of them full of dramatic imagination. Some day, writing poetry may actually be a joy, as well as a 'medication'. But, maybe, as 'medication', it already IS a joy. Interesting thought, actually.

Good touch with 'aside from waffles'. All is not so bleak that a sense of humour is stifled! Besides, I totally agree. Mine is salted peanuts, chocolate pieces and raisins - in one chompy mouthful - the taste coming through individually and in good company!

thanks for commenting on 'Phantoms' Laura - glad you liked it. One of those I didn't really appreciate myself as I wrote it - but when I read it back this morning I thought 'yeah - that works'.
Thanks for getting me onboard with this NaPoWriMo thing - I've enjoyed reading your daily quota and really enjoyed doing it myself. Hopefully this has kick started me down the poetry routes again - as I had drifted seriously off course since last October

thanx for commenting on 'sonnet 91...' John - yes, I think even the die hard politically motivated are now thoroughly sick of it all. You sound surprised at me turning my hand to 'form' poetry - I think I do it more than most - I really enjoy writing to a style - sonnet is probably my favourite and most utilised form of it.
I appreciate your comments
Ian

thanks for commenting on 'a rose by any other name' Jennifer. Until I researched for thsis poem I thought they were called dandelions because their heads resembled a lions mane - but of course it is a corrupted english translation of 'lion's tooth' as you say.
Glad you liked it
