Cheers Greg,
I felt a bit like Miss World (only fatter and older) and could quite easily have cried a bit!(cringe)
It's fab though, hell of a confidence boost,great for days like today when I have just this minute received a rejection email from a publisher who got my name wrong!:)

Cynthia, thank you for your comment on 'And Where is Your God?'. It is the first time the phrase 'consummate poetical skill' has been applied to my work and it is praise indeed which I truly appreciate. Thank you for that. I don't read as much as I should on WOL but I will make every effort and reciprocate. Wytchewoode

Hi, Dave! Thank you so much for your comment on my poem "Life is short". I enjoyed reading your poems. And "The Freckleton Air Disaster" is a great poem. If you have time please read my poems "The Victory Day" and "Ballad about the soldier". I would like to know your opinion about them.
With warmest wishes,

Hi, Dave! Please, help! I am not sure what is correct: "And her life was a real tough" or " And her life was really a tough" or "Her life was real tough". Which one is correct or better?

Thank you Rosalind for your very kind thoughts and wonderful comments I look forward to reading more of your poetry.

I am delighted that my poetry gives you goose bumps but I'm sure there are many other pleasures that produce that state of 'Tingle' dare I say even long stiffer goose bumps!!

Once again many thanks

Yours in pleasure.

Thanks for your comments on my wonderful poem 'Window box'.

Though I can assure you it is not a cut-up (wash yer mouth out) though I suppose it is a bit 'miserablist' school of poetry.

Hi - Ol Blue Eyes - I must admit that before I wrote it, I had to look up the spelling. Apparently, Sindy was the UK's answer to the US Barbie doll, so even though Cindy is a "real" US name, over here the new doll was called Sindy. all the best B.

Thanks for your comment. You are right about my intention.
I enjoyed your Picasso poem. I have a copy of his The Burial of the Count of Orgaz & Other Poems which is interesting but a bit too surrealist for my taste. Good luck with your book launch

That's a very serious mug shot you've got up there Steve - you look like something out of a police line up LOL
Thanks for paying my profile a visit. It was great meeting you at Wigan - I'm glad you enjoyed it. Glad someone agrees with me about serious v funny poetry also. Having said all that, I would like nothing more than to be able to write funny poetry - it is so hard to do well. The best tonic ever for me is laughter - it can lift me right out of any grumpy mood I might be in. If you can tap into the right market with good witty poetry you could probably make more money out of it than you could serious stuff...but then we probably start to stray into comedy rather than poetry...
Look forward to seeing you around on the scene. x

Hi Dave, It was nice to chat to you the other night in Wigan and cheers for your good advice. Just read your poems above, poor old Derek, what a way to go! I really like 'Choker', I know what your mate means about graveyards, they are very powerful places. Hope to see you about soon, cheers Stevex

Hi Isobel, It was good to see you the other night and hear more of your work, I especially like your use of song, it has inspired me! Thanks for your kind comments on the discussion page, I've just seen them. From my small experience at slams, I agree with you - serious is definitely the way to go or maybe mix them up a bit - one serious, one funny each round! Hope to see soon you when I am next across your way. Take care, Stevex

Hi Alison

Thanks for your kind comments. I was trying to write a sonnet but am easily distracted. I bought the anthology staying alive (and being alive) which you mentioned and am enjoying the variety. I like Alden Nowlan’s poetry. Nowlan said “I think you have to risk sentimentality…because after all sentimentality is very close to the things that genuinely move people” and for what it’s worth I agree.

Hi Cynthia
The poem was more concerned with how I feel about poetry. Good writing turns me on. I like poetry that has mystery and surprise, when not everything is spelled out. I do think of the brain as an erogenous zone. The person taking their clothes off could be male or female. I had no one in mind. I am interested in your use of the term physical arena suggesting romance as a wrestling match-the grapple of love.
Thanks for your interest
