thanks for the kind comments on 'redemption' Martin - yes, it's definitely a contender as a performance piece - I'm also earmarking it to record with a 'chick-a-boom' type backing in the spirit of Johnny Cash - at some point in the not too distant future - cheers - Ian

Hello Jack - thank you for your recent
comment on "Mixed Blessing". There are times
when, turning on the TV, I feel that I am expected
to take the cares of the whole world onboard!

Thanks for your comment Cynthia, much appreciated. I did mean 'accentuate all light' when I was writing it, but reading it back now, you're right, it doesn't quite work... I'll have a think! :)

Hi Cynthia
What's this BB? I can't work it out!

What do I do all day? with the half of my mind which is forced into this world?

I'm a teacher - plenty of stimulus -

Thank you for your feedback on my poem 'Book'. It's funny you should mention the stuff going on in France as I wrote this poem a while ago but it seemed to fit with recent events so I decided to post it here.

Glad to hear that the shed your father built is still standing, Jacqueline. I enjoyed this sample poem, full of wisdom and humour. And I was pleased that you enjoyed 'Tewkesbury Abbey', too. Thanks for your comments. Greg

Hi Jacqueline, and welcome to WOL. Your sample poem really struck me. I found it intelligent, grittily wistful and honest. It has good rhythm, nothing "forced" and I'm sure will appeal to many readers. I look forward to seeing/reading more of your work on the blogs page. I hope you will find that WOL is a useful, friendly and supportive community and that you enjoy all the facilities it has to offer.

Regards,
A.E. .

Hello you! You've just brought a big smile to my face ;) Thanks for liking my poem. You've also made me feel guilty for not reading or commenting on any poetry in ages...on that note I see you've been very busy ...am so envious - cos my nib is dry ;)

New years resolution - to write a poem, come over to Liverpool and top up on my bear hugs!

Hope all's well with you.

Hi Cynthia

Far from being and 'encroachment' your insightful comments are as ever an encouragement. You seem to really 'get' my poems - which is not always the case with others! I'm at my mother's at the moment and asked her how come she had those books. I think she was just a victim of a 'hard sell'! They've long gone now , but I wouldn't actually mind reading them now as a 'grown up'.

Harry, many thanks for your kind words. Much appreciated. No, the Red Flag never did it for me either, but I remember watching on the news when the miners marched back to work in 1985 with their banners held high. That certainly did. I hope you're keeping well, and a very happy new year to you. Greg

Beautiful stuff! I particularly like A Casting Off - it is both visceral and controlled, which makes it strong in describing a tight-wound life.

Hi M.C.

I'm Hoping to be floating in formaldehyde for at least three years post demise, having donated what's left of me. About twelve years ago. To the "Professor of Morbidity" at the Manchester Medical School. That's on condition he has enough room in the fridge when the time comes. And it's all FREE.

This is indeed a beautiful poem. I love its pace the way it twists, curls and finds its own way.

The Christmas Party

Pull a cracker
enjoy corny joke
wear silly hat.

Spill vintage wine
tell a secret
no one knew.

Crimson red face
of the person
leaving so abruptly.

Perhaps they might
not come back
now common knowledge.

Paris silent
You require a Paris street,
With the roaring silence chest
While Paris is cold, hostile ..
As a silent funeral, unknown ...
Require fever, anxious, in panic ...
Looking at Hotel "Duplex"
Require road "Emil Zola"
Looking at Hotel "Mirabeau"
Require road "Sever" "Cambronne"
But you're not! There you are!
Looking at "First Hotel" ...
Require rue "Pondishery"
"Motte Piquett" "Piero" coffe "
Looking at "Bonne Nouvelle"
"Petit Duke" There at the Arch of Ludovigut ...
"Aboukir" "Bastije" ... ??
If you are not! Where are you?
A hand with sweet Stroke hair.
As once streets of Tirane
When I was a child, at come in hand with you
It was the most beautiful time of my life
Respire! I understand where are you,,
You feel very close me..I feel
As once ....My Mother...

Merry Christmas John.
Level pegging with the Arse at Christmas ain't soooo bad!
I wonder what 2015 will hold.
I just hope we can keep hold of Harry Kane and not lose him.

Best wishes for a good Christmas to you and yours.

Come on you Spurs!!

Original item by Amelia

Hope you don't mind, I liked the idea of your topic...So I added on a little more of what popped in mine. :)

So then what is life?
Is it an example to lift from earth to moon?
An imaginary tale of a storyteller from that moon?
Shall be a gift of a noon chirping on a clock.
But what sense does it dot if the I was never to be written.

What is life?
A secret addition of a joke hidden.
A curse, none the less, but of wise man's words bitten.

What is life?
A feeling emerging from one tale to the next.
War being fed to the hungry of powerless heads.

Word of advice, it's not all about sounding sophisticated. It's not really about the big words with the big deep meanings. You can have a simple basis of the English words, just gotta twist them around to make it a little more tricky. I don't have a high vocabulary myself. But sometimes just understanding how to mix the words will help a great deal. Good luck with Blue.

Hi Laura - thanks for the lovely comments on my gannet poem. I managed to record it myself using a programme called Garage Band on a friends computer. It's the first time I've recorded effects and stuff myself - loved doing the echoes! The only instrument I used was a little child's xylophone, just tapping two or three notes. Setting up all the echoes you get lots of accidental rhythms going on. Hope you have a great Christmas! xx
