Oh, no Dave! We are not at the age to blush. I remember when I was 20 and an Englishman kissed my hand, I really blushed. Strange, but now I do not blush.

hey up!!!troubles back! haha-lovely to hear from you again Bernadette-glad you are well,despite the business you are enduring-there again keeping on the move is highly recommended for sure-and re writing in the late hours sometimes is better regarding clarity of mind and silence combined-sometimes works to ones advantage-regarding 'Lifes Puzzle'I can see that like Larisa,s lovely poem'Sea' you have put a lot lot of thought and obviously time into this poem.And like anybody including Mr Me...we can only get better,can we not-well done girly-call in anytime-but DO NOT bring a spare paintbrush-lotsa love-Stef-xx

Hi Cyn - (seed pearl) - many thanks for the kind comments - it's only an oblique reference to the notion that precious moments/thoughts have been called "pearls", that pearls are hidden within the folds & also why oysters are the "food of love" - because of what they are said to look like & taste like. sorry to have to be rather explicit !

Cynthia, thank you for reading and commenting on "Melancholium".
I am always intrigued to read your feedback and understand your angle on this piece.
Strangely, I see it a a much slower, thoughtful poem, hence the title and the almost daydream-like rambling of the words. The inspiration for this coming from those idle thoughts that pop into one's mind sometimes. Whatever happened to so and so etc etc.

Hello Ann, thank you for your comments on 'Stars' and 'High Tide'. I am also of course taking into account your question of the word 'obnoxious' in 'High Tide' I will try to think of a way to rephrase and will likely change it when I've decided on the alternative, most likely at a later date.

Hi Greg - re tinkering - yes you can tinker all you like, they're your poems. Lots of people use the blogs to gauge the reaction to a first draft, sometimes they take it down and re-post when they're happier with it, sometimes not ... it's entirely up to you - how much, how little, how often etc etc you post.

Hi Cynthia, thanks for being so kind about Walking the Shore - and for not objecting to the fourth verse! The trouble you take to read, appreciate and criticise people's work is always morale-boosting. Greg

Hi Gemma,
I commented on your "Grandma" poem a while ago and have just been reading through a couple of your others."Norman's Chippy" reminds me so much of a chippy/toffee shop in Wigan I used to go to as a kid called "Josie's".She lived above it in a flat,and I also remember pea-wet and and scraps or "scratchings" as regular tea-time treats.
It was the toffee counter down the left of the chippy that fascinated me though! This brought back really strong,vivid memories of my own childhood.

I also loved your "Blackpool Rock" poem as well! I still love the place,but it's funny what you notice as you get older,isn't it?I worked in Blackpool three years ago,and what you see daily is an eye-opener!
Will definetely be having a look at your stuff again!
