Hello Dave,
Thanks for your thoughts on "Don't Think Twice..".
You are quite right about cultural differences to body shapes and I myself have no room to talk!

Glad you liked "Don't Think Twice...". I shall indeed do the gentlemanly thing and confess that it was my own bottom!

Hello Izzy,
Sorry you didn't like "Don't Think Twice..". I didn't intend it to be offensive (well, no more so than my other offerings that are in poor taste!).
I myself was rather pleased with it, mainly in a technical sense for engineering the structure and tight rhyming pattern.
I think Bob Dylan must have agreed with you because he changed all my words!

Thanks for your comments on "Jaegerbombs" Pulled from memory, a memory most of us have if we're honest. Not wishing to descend into mutual appreciation, I have just read this piece and it's my sort of poetry. A story, good imagery tied together and knotted at the end. Nice one!!
Cheers

Hello Yvonne.
I was advised by a friend to post stuff on here, so I did, a few at a time. Obviously not knowing how it works. Thank you for the advice on blogging. Also I am pleased you like the stuff I have done, you are spot on with FFS, I love reading that one. As I mentioned previously I am new to writing and am a totally accidental poet. I have no understanding of the structure of poetry or how it works. I sit, I feel, I write. Raw but real. Seeing that people actually read my stuff and give feedback is very reassuring and helpful. Sorry about the novelette. :0)

HI Pete - just a thought -you seem to be blogging several poems at a time and I think this site archives a poem when you upload the next one so we don't get time to read the earlier ones as there's only the latest one up on show ( they also get archived on a monthly basis) I don't access the site every day so I've missed loads of yours ( I'm accessing them via your profile page.

Hi Yvonne
Just like to say a heartfelt "TA" for your comments on my offering Home Sweet Home. It is an emotionally driven piece. This is happening to a friend of mine. As for cynicism I have to agree 100% with your observations. Governments present and past have become very adept at smokescreening and I agree (but this is a different matter) What about the people who have been repossessed? Another poem in the offing? I am afraid I am very new to writing and have so many ideas flooding through, I simply write what is in my head at the time. Thanks again for your comment, much appreciated. :0)

You make what seems to be, immediately, a valid point. But, I ask you to define 'poverty' as you understand and use the term. For therein lies the argument.

We have practically got a monopoly on yorkshire prisons here. take your pick ( or shovel, depending which chain gang you're on)
I once knew an ex con who was trying to break back in so that he could steal prison shirts which apparently were selling like hot cakes in London

Hello Nithin - welcome to WOL - I've enjoyed reading your poetry.

It occurs to me that you may like to put some of your poems into the blog section, rather than in the comment area of your profile page - they are more likely to get read there.

Once people start to leave messages in your profile section your poems will disappear if they are just in comments. If you put them in the blog section they will be filed in date order and more accessible.

'Make Blog Entry' is at the top right hand side of your screen.

Hope you enjoy WOL.

To Her Beauty

If 'beauty' Be the self satisfied pride she bears,
Each Fly do wing around her cherubic sweet face,
As they; lovers seek what her anonymous covers,
And dream them in a transient trace.
When 'beauty', a self possessed pride, you Worn,
Each fly does wing around your wilt grace,
As what lovers opine, 'how your beauty haste flown;
As falls the man in his transient race'.

On Fair Compassion( XIII )

If ruth,a king like guest in we well move,
In fact do guide we,this green wide globe,
This comrade godly he,and tell him prove
A stranger he,who captures bleak and doom
His arms do comfort depress and regrets
If truth is true,and mercy heart each bloom
Dear soul,you golden leaf from heaven's art,
And pour you bliss to whom who seek full sense
Yet gloom is man,how heavy his mind cart.
How Fair your Shelter, which exclude sorrow,
You sore in pain,and supplies endless spring,
Inspirit's my world with joyous,tender shadow
Compassion you for life,you melt in each dream-
Of trouble and save as my father do.

On Desire


No rules ne'er rest your pinions,but low hope;
To wake my wondrous thought's in many and many
And your wander alters minds madden swipe.
Your cottage fill of dreams, of freshness wing,
Which power brake your noble flow,and how?
O' my sweet, sweetly touch; when ever you sing!
Let me spread your secret cipher,with emotes,
Most colored yours,still man needs you,do you?
So, though he mortal sleep in still your shades,
With somber ideas here, too far wish I glide
From this world -sour with hopeful Ecstasy
Let soul is pure,but Here is mine that fade
Misfortune leads despair with fear desires,
Your beauty utterly falls; nothing wakes?

I was referencing those guilty (convicted or otherwise). Those playing no part in acts of pedophilia are not being referred to.

''extremes are never valid because they lack the potential argument of persuasion.'' I think 'extremity' depends upon your position in any argument. Is it extreme to want that ALL poverty be removed?

I for one subscribe to the values proffered by James Connolly:
''...’Tis passing strange, yet I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.'' Tommy

Sorry to hear about you still being in pain. I must have been exceptionally lucky. I stopped taking the painkillers after 2 days. I WAS in pain, but it was such a different pain to the pain prior to the OP that I found it quite bearable and almost cathartic, especially as it got less and less each day, rather than worse and worse like the previous pain.

It's a very subjective thing I found. It hurt differently depending upon how I viewed it. Anyway, I'm still sure that you will eventually end up better off than before. I had a freaky experience after I got mobile again (about a week after the OP) when I became convinced that one leg was shorter than the other, however they measured them and proved that they weren't, it turned out to be my new posture and, having spent much of the previous 5 years limping and standing with all the weight on one leg I had become lopsided. Once I noticed that then I found that swimming, in particular, helped rebalance me, although you should only swim freestyle, not breaststroke because the leg kick is risky. Anyway, keep o keeping on!
