Hi Brian - always good to hear from you. Your experience of the
hurricane season in your neck of the woods is recognised so thanks
for the comment. In this particular instance, what is not being said
seems as relevant as that which we hear with such stridency. As for your question,
my blogs on this site will suffice for me as far as "publication" is concerned.

Lovely poem - 'a soaring wind grabs you by the ears '- 'the cobbles are scribbled out by a virgin whiteness', and the last two lines repeated hold it all together. Also expresses the determination to have a good new life together. Really enjoyable.

I'm a little poet
Enigmatic me
Am I poet Don or
Another he or she?
I'll leave you all a'wondering
Could be me or thee?
That I'm writing all about
In my poetry
Trouble understanding
Whatever makes you tick?
Others just can't work you out
When you're taking mick?
To me? It doesn't matter
We all throw round some shit
I'll take from you the parts I like
And go along with it
I'll just just sit back, eat popcorn, and enjoy the show.....

Oh so good Mark! As a meteorologist (although out of practice), I heartily agree! Off topic here, but do you have plans to publish another collection of these latest works?

Help! Very original writing and use of words. Presumably meaning that Nature will ask for revenge rom the way we have treated her and hers? Great title too.

Great poem. Gives the idea of a rather lonely person waiting for a friend to turn up, and then the let down when he arrives with new company. yet another disappointment in a sad life.

I would have thought a person was entitled to describe himself any way he wants. Perhaps more so than when describing others, when you should perhaps consider their feelings about what you say.
Viva all enigmas, autobiographical and not! Life would be dull without them. Is the 'red pencil' bloodstained or just for correcting? Sounds as if Miss Marple is the WOL moderator!

Great picture of an amusing stopover. The muddy grids of the scraper sound very familiar. You can see how long ago it was used, according to the dampness/dryness of the mud. Loved the tail semaphore too!

Part of the entertainment of an art form is working out and wondering what it is meant to be, or what it is truely about. That can apply as much to a sketch as to a poem. I enjoyed what was created here by the poets and commentators alike whoever they all were?

My comment was an observation not a criticism. We have had quite a few contre-temps due to incorrect assumptions being made, sometimes leading to unpleasantness. Of course in this instance I have no way of knowing who’s comments I am reading. By the way WOL also has a secret moderator, so please do not just assume it’s me if handbags are drawn and the red pencil comes out ?

This is not Brian writing now...it is another person who Brian has allowed to use his account. I think what Brian was trying to do is point out the etiquette in using certain personal descriptive words. If it causes a little tension with the other party (not Don of course...the other unnamed bloke) then that is a regrettable consequence. I haven't actually checked this with Brian but I think this what he probably would say.

Thanks for the entertaining comments - and the "likes". I like to
believe in rational thinking and find anything overtly "one-way" to
be worth challenging in the interest of "balance" in any important debate.

Always difficult to decipher what is and what isn’t autobiographical here on WOL. Perhaps each poet should indicate before commenters make the assumption. It might lead to less tension, or is that the purpose?
Comment is about The Enigmatic Poet (blog)
Original item by Don Matthews
This IS someone else describing the poet as an enigma. All four verses are by an outsider. The fifth verse is the only one written by the poet.
Then again who's to say it's about me? I can't see the name Don appearing anywhere? It could refer to any poet with these characteristics
Also if someone feels they are indeed eccentric, enigmatic, oddballish, etc why can't they call themselves such?

It's fine to describe someone else as enigmatic, but not yourself. Same as eccentric, oddball etc. All subjective.

This is such a beautiful and nakedly honest reflection of a relationship. My favourite poem in some time (even if I am a year late to it). P.S. I now feel like I need a poem about the 2014 incident... Sounds traumatic to say the least.
