Hi Phillip you have an interesting format here. It actually sounds good read aloud althought the metre jumps around.I'd prefer line 4 to scan as : 'Explain it's not him' as for me this places the emphasis on the word not in an easier flow especially as the next line places the stress on 'You'

Hi John
re Kushagarnie
Seems a good idea to me. A versatile song eh? both skipping and lullabye. Look forward to it

Hello Greg
Kind of you not to mention Black Sunday.
There was a lot of balls spoken about your 2nd goal. We didn't lose because it didn't cross the line; we lost because we didn't score six.

Thanks for your knowledgeable comments on Duty, John. I wasn't going to mention last Sunday. We've had a lot of luck recently. It's going to run out some time.

What ho, Yvonne.
Im afraid my laptop gets PMT and goes all moody on me.
What I was trying to say was that A the G did loads of stuff n stuff n stuff like that but only gets remembered for burning the Xmas pud, whereas Nelson isn't quite as nice a fellow as we now think him to be but just because he saved the nation from sea invasion from the surrender-monkey froggies with their distasteful cheeses and surly waiters...
Ok - bad example. Maybe I need to think this through a bit more.

Hi, John
Your information about Nelson to MC ref:-'Nelson was a Norfolk Lad' is very interesting. I didn't know you had studied the Anglo Saxon period in its own tongue. Maybe relaying your information to MC in aforementioned language was a tad rich. May we have a translation please?

CBT, Hi,
ref Dinner Date, or should that be: 'Inner Date' one never knows! you alone have delved into the thoughts behind this one. I usually expose the insipid mush but this was a fling, and yes, you triumphed! Well played, for seeing the truth inside this shallow piece of 'deception' in that I kept it simple to please the audience. I shall now be your most gracious 'watcher' Please, please me more! ta muchly, Nick.

Hello Cynthia, thank-you .. it's strange how other people's analysis can reveal more . I thought this has to be called 'sea' .. perhaps we are just a conduit for our subconcious ideas ..cheers.

Original item by Yvonne Brunton

Laura, thanks for reading and commenting on Day 6. I posted something earlier from this same series of poems, I just wanted to see what the reaction is to some of the other ones. In case your curious I did a group of poems called 30 days to forget her. One poem a day for 30 days about how I was feeling about her at that time.

I honestly don't think it worked, nor do I think it was as therapeutic as it could have been. In fact I think it drew out the transition phase from being involved to being single a little longer than it should have been.

Hi John
to start in reverse order There was not much point in shame - it didn't rhyme with pelican!
As for all those different crossings, I'd no idea there were so many. I'd just googled pedestrian crossing when this novella on crossings popped up and tempted me - I'm easily led!
By the way if this cycle thread is to be sustained are you doing a rewrite of the pushbike song? XX

Laura thank you for your comment. I agree re 'lays' and 'lies' and its American-ism. Recently I have been in a quandary as to the grammar. So I have lain the issue to the past(participle).

Hi Anne. I copy and paste it all from my phone, and for some reason it cuts out the paragraphs. I'll fix it soon enough when I find a pc to use. I enjoy reading your poems, Anne. Thanks for your advice.

Welcome to WOL. Sekou is one of my favorite poets:
Urban Music
by Sekou Sundiata

...I wanna tell you how much we wanted to make revolution
But in our yearning we learned, suffering ain’t noble and to struggle is a blessing that brings more life on the side of life itself

That wide are the rivers we know, deep is the water,
hip-hop and beyond hip-hop and before
I mean I could run out of breathe before
I could divest the rest that I don’t know

Maybe, I can break it down to you like this
We dreamed you Black, in your badness
Made you up out of poems, and lies and words to live by
And we ourselves was dreamed, most likely by some slaves
Whenever they got a little space to climb into their heads and be free
So when they closed their eyes, what did they see?
They saw you…they saw me...

I love the musicality you get into these lines without once seeming to strive for it. A very effective tale simply told and made so much more poignant by the mundane details of looking round a bare flat. I'm not sure that the second half is really needed - to my mind, you've said everything you need to say supremely well in your first three stanzas. Great work.

Original item by John Coopey

Hi Gareth - I'm enjoying seeing your work on the blogs. I just wondered if the line spacing wasn't working for you. Not sure if you want your work to be laid out like prose but suspect not due to capital letters and longer spaces between some words, and your profile poems. I think this format (looking like prose) might put some people off reading it too which would be a shame. I am not at all technical but if the poems aren't looking as you want them to then do let me know and we'll see what the probelm is.

Many thanks for the kind comments on my poems recently. Sorry I can’t offer a more personal thankyou but I’ve got gremlins in my machine which makes typing a comment over the internet take an eternity. Hence this rather impersonal catch-all done in Word and pasted on-line.
Notwithstanding, many thanks.
