Winston, I passed through Hebdon Bridge last week, and so wanted to stop for a bit, but the three-year-old had other plans. The area was beautiful, quite unique, almost "Tolkein-y' Goodness knows when I can explore a bit. Such surroundings must influence your poetry.

Hello again!
Just wanted to say thanks for the time that you have spent reading and critiquing my poem 'No love lost here'.
It's amazing to see how different and punchier (!) it feels with the edit. I really like the way it has been edited too-it flows better. i'm at an open mic in Manchester on thurs so I'm gonna get practising!

Hi Cate
Thanks for your comment on my revisitation to Time Flues. I've eaten humble pie (a large portion) for CBT. Whether she's still my friend, I'll have to wait and see.
The funny thing is, the original version was quite different to what I would normally try.
Is there a home truth in that?
Steve :-))

Thanks again for your comment Cynthia. Have just printed off those definitions. It sounds very restrictive. If I get time I will try to apply some rules to my poetry. Read too many Mills and Boons as a girl - I just can't help writing from the heart. Applying rules is like putting rubber bands round it. How poetic is that?

Hi anthony
thanks again fro your comments and advice on my latest blog. I spotted a couple of typos and changed a word or two, I wouldn't mind you having another read and see if it's better or whether you would further edit - I've always shied away from editing my own stuff!
Cheers

Never have to 'hire' private taxis chuck - get enough offers of a free lift. Whether it were male or female driver would make a HUGE diffference. With a woman, front seat, having a chin wag. With a man, definitely back seat...

Hi Winston
I truly appreciate your comment on 'Time Flues'. I enjoy reading your writing, but feel somewhat inadequate when it comes to commenting.
For some reason, I also particularly like the verse that you highlighted
Thanks again. Perhaps our paths will cross at a reading. I have just 'read' for the 1st time. I think Hebden Bridge is about the furthest I may venture, not having a passport to get out of Yorkshire. I'll have to try and get enough bottle to stand up again.

Hi Yolande
Glad you enjoyed 'Time Flues'. I'm embarrassed to tell you that this was Dewsbury in the 50's. We were always a bit behind the times here.
I really do appreciate your comment, and hope you enjoy the cross-over from music to poetry. I can't hold a note, so I can't cross back.
Steve

Hi Anthony, thanks for your comment on Our Gramps. I took you and Janet up on your suggestion to put it to music, and wrote a tune in the middle of last night for it! {Dont you just hate it when the muse strikes you at 4 in the morning} I might get round to singing it at the Tudor sometimes!
