Thanks for your very kind comments on my last 2 Cynthia. Don't know whether it has anything to do with the study of language - who knows - I seem to be writing by feel at the moment. I could write tons every day - if only I had time to breathe...Funnily enough, I've just started one about poverty which is inspired by the poem Poverty Is that you posted some time back. I love the inspiration one can get from other poets on this site. Half the stuff I write would never be, if it weren't for that. x

Hi Ann. Visiting Connie is not simplistic, or indeed simple. You've smuggled important stuff about men and women and relationships in there. You may have written it quickly, although I don't expect you did; it certainly appears to be well-crafted. You shouldn't abandon your earlier style as you develop, is what I'm trying to say.

Hi Dave, must applaud you for starting a new themed competition, I think they are good fun. I seem to have written two which are loosely based on the phrase (in a metaphorical way), so now not sure which one to post - maybe I could post both, and then decide which one to tag. Must admit, the standard is so high already, but what the heck!

Why thank you Greg! (Visiting Connie.) I wondered if it was a bit simplistic - but maybe simplistic is OK!

Hello Ann
Thanks for enquiring after me.
I am still plying my trade in this world but haven't posted for a bit as a result of technical reasons.
I had a computer crsah a while ago and lost the programme for doing audio files. My stuff doesn't sit well on the page so hence I haven't posted.
The thought occurs to me that you post audio stuff - what programme do you use? Perhaps I can get up and running again.
I do keep visiting the site and reading though.
Keep posting.
John

Thanks for your comment Ann - it came as a huge shock to me - I only updated my profile with that poem by chance. Looking through yours I see that you don't have Coramandel on there - as I recall that was one of your most successful ones - you should add it. You never know your luck in a raffle as my dear old dad never used to say. x

Hello Cynthia, huge apologies for not responding to your very kind (and hugely flattering -- made me blush and then check I was reading the right comment box on the right profile!) comment sooner. I've been battling crazy deadlines and then I couldn't access the site for some reason until ably assisted by Mr Paul Blackburn. Heck, if you could see me you'd smile. I'm just a small bundle of excitement and curiosity. I'm also horribly bookish and probably decidedly odd. If I were a character in Harry Potter, I'd be Luna Lovegood. I'm going to be at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre on October 29th in the great hall from 6-7pm doing a musical thing as a loosely connected part of Manchester Comedy Festival. It'd be lovely to meet you if you can come along! Moxy x

Hello Jane! Big thanks for reading Cross Species -- you're quite right, the insurance costs of hurling/retrieving footballers by playful scientists would be extortionate, but I bet it'd be fun to watch! Love your Duck Parliament poem especially -- your work is so wonderfully vivid and full of gloriously unexpected twists and turns. Moxy x

Wow - the Edinburgh thing sounds great. You should write about it and send it to features - they've run a few things about it. I'll be mortified if you tell me you already have - I forget to look there - but always make the effort to read the work of people I feel I know.

No, my youngest is moving out, as a student, leaving myself and David. I will miss the noise of "children." I took a children's poetry show up to the Edinburgh Fringe for 8 nights with Jenny and her friend, Grace, performing. It was all,very exciting.

Thanks for your comment on my bullet poem - you picked some of my favourite bits - if only I had the time to polish it better. Are you going to write one? I love reading themed poetry - am not always able to do it - have to be fired up at the right time - it's nice when it comes though. x

Hi - bullet - many thanks for the comments. I went once many yrs ago when me & my friend were camping nearby. Having biked all day, I really didn't want to ride the 7-8 miles back into town, but had my arm twisted. It was totally unreal - at 8pm ALL the traffic stopped, Everyone stood still & it was absolutely silent, then he played. If I ever hear the last post or reveille now, I cant help blubbing, because they were paying tribute to us - the Brits - in a city centre in another country, and they do the exact same thing every night. I dont think anyone could not be moved by it. Thanks. B

I dunno - you're missing out on posting some great stuff - you never did post the last "private" one you sent me either - you really should - they're both great & would add a little spice to the proceedings - only my 2 cents & much appreciated anyway - but I think they're so good they deserve a wider audience IMHO - I wish I could "write to order" like that XX
