Thanks for your thoughtful feedback Po and Graham. I am grateful for this platform and hope it will be around for eons! It’s a wonderful place to share our work with welcoming and receptive poets that have a variety of backgrounds and experience. I agree that we walk a fine line when sharing POV pieces and comments. It requires public etiquette. Respect for all that have to make the one in a thousand call. Write on!

I like short poems Ray. Well done.
Jennifer, don't take this the wrong way but your computer is still a little wonky. It's created a new word which doesn't appear in the dictionary. 'saythat'. On the other hand we could say your telephone company lady has imparted a hitherto new unknown creative streak to your computer. I would encourage it's new talent to take us into the realms of 'unknown' poetry.
What's that? It's just a typo?....
I was just trying to help.......
Trust you to go spoil my fun.....

Thanks chaps, it is true, comparing yourself to others is a fools errand, but I do think that you should compare yourself to who you were yesterday, just to check if you're a little bit better or wiser.

How was the miscreant’s knee, MC? I’ve heard about police brutality whereby they batter their balls against innocent angels’ knees and feet.

The human imagination is the source of wondrous things - and how
much better when it is a gift of love from a parent to their children -
so pleasingly depicted in these lines.

Touching and true in its depiction of the human experience across
the years that life allows us. My own mother suffered but was also
lucid at times in the months approaching her death. A tragedy yet
a blessing - depending on how charitable one felt about the
infliction of nature's whims on our fragile minds and bodies.

I can't speak for childbirth but having sustained a ruptured testicle at the knee ( I won't use the expression "hand" in this context!) of a detained miscreant, it's odd but the adrenaline must have been in
full kick-in (oops) mode because it was only later that the discomfort
became apparent - along with the need to have blood drawn out of
the potato-sized swelling sustained as a result. I think the medico
suggested that I lie back and think of England as he wielded a
rather large syringe that quickly dropped out of my sight below
my pelvis. Not an experience I would want to repeat for all
sorts of reasons. That said, I can't speak for masochists either!! ?

Thanks Ray and Brian for the likes - and Poem, Don and Martin for the comments. Took me about 30mins to get this to open up!!!!Donìt like the idea of mice pies overmuch!! Hi Don, hope he brings me a new computer, but doubt it! If your present doesn't arrive, guess who's nicked it!Without the computer functioning I can't even look for one on internet.
A Happy Christmas to all Wol members and staff, and if you don't go for Christmas have a good holiday anyway.

And thanks miKa, that is reassuring. Strange to think that now I know that, I probably wouldn't have written this poem the way I did.

Women say that childbirth is incredibly painful, but then can't wait to have a second child. It can't be that painful surely? My logic is this...take blokes - we've all had a knock in the bollocks and know how it feels...do you ever hear a bloke say "I'd love another kick in the bollocks!"

As Head of Publicity for the Like-Minders Society my job is to publicize this new project of our Leader. We are a group of fun-seeking offbeat WOL poets (currently 15) who rollercoast around a Theme Park to various stops of poetical interest such as Writers Corners, Traditional Poets Association Stamping Ground, the essential Toilet Stop, our own Music Lounge and a Budding Poets Audition Site.
Should you like to join us contact our Leader Don at the LMS Office during business hours 9am-11pm UK time. No riff-raff or doomy gloomers please. We run a tight ship.

Thank you, Martin!
It shouldn't worry you, Graham. Please refer to my initial response on my previous poem (Outside of Herself). And yes, poems can develop many more meanings than the one the writer intended because every reader offers a new perspective. ?
Thanks for your comment, Po.

I certainly do remember them . I also remember writing them as well. My grandmother once sent a letter to Australia in the 1930's and the flying boat as they were known then (an aircraft that could land on water) sunk but her letter was retrieved and sent back to her. Unsurprisingly the ink had run a bit. It was one of those that you folded in on itself.
Nice one Cynthia

Lucy L (our Like-Minders Society Head of Publicity) is reprimanding me. She says why did you assume Joe was in UK? Hmmm I said. to which she replied he could've been in
'Today, the scale is primarily used in the United States, and is also used in the Cayman Islands, Palau, Bahamas and Belize'
Take your pick she said. So I picked you a relaxed poet having a fun time in sunny Bahamas (and all that).
Spot on, Thalia my Muse of Mirth said.
Hey, where's Ruth gone? Am I too hot to handle girl?
?
How did you know this I said?
We have ways the girls said.....
I was quite miffed as you haven't put up an audio so how was I to know? You got special communication channels with my girls?
Po, is there some sort of intra-planetary out-of-body thing going on here?

I have a spiritual affinity with the idea of writing this sort of thing,
having been moved (some years ago now) to write about the
death of the equally famous Denis Compton.
The heroes are all going now
And we are left to grieve;
A fond farewell, a final bow,
Too soon they take their leave.....(extract)
The subject of this news item is to be encouraged to continue on his
path toward adding to the spectrum of entertaining and imaginative poetry.
