Deep Down is a beautiful (if tragic) song and I really enjoyed hearing you read it, but next time will you sing?!

Love these poems. I heard you perform Dirty Normans and the "When I was five I wore dungarees" and I think they are brilliant.

Hi Val,

Good to see you are enjoying the scene. I look forward to hearing some more poems from you. Would liked to have attended Bolton Octagon to see everyone. You say you felt something wrong as you read a new poem, don't worry - you are not alone, I think we all go through it, you will find the words......Pete

Hiya Darren.
I saw and heard you perform 'Deep Down' at the Howcroft. Under normal circumstances I tend to shy away from rhyming couplets, but the intensity is such that it's hard not to feel the emotion within your words.
If it's rhyme that you enjoy with your poetry, have you tried using enjambment as a technique? Sometimes it allows the author a little more room for manoeuvre with their choice of words. Instead of searching for a rhyme that isn't really appropriate, although that is not the case with what I've read above.
Enjoyable to read. Nice One.

Hi Lisa
Hey, chill, Sis. You know the world is just perfect as it is. It doesn't need changing, and it doesn't need poetry; but, if it did, it would need yours.
The world just needs to... Bee.

Have a wonderful weekend at Turton Tower -- hope the weather stays dry and the people arrive in their hundreds and thousands (now they sound like cake sprinkles, don't they?). May the Friends of Turton Tower have their coffers loaded and their support boosted. Hooray! Good luck and a merry time to all the stellar poets and musicians you've assembled, too (of which you are an exemplary example, Stellar Stef).

Ditto Gordon! Your recent performance at Wigan that included the line, "prescribed a course of monologues instead..." absolutely brilliant.

I am not partial to lower-case compositirtions, but in this case I make an exception. Alan is a poet of profoundity and takes his craft seriously. These samples are wonderful poems that desrve a wide audience that will understand what poetry is.

Yves Klein blue skies over Accrington, the B of the Bandaged/Banged Heads -- both images repeated (or 'bothed") the blurt strange 'Careful' of your work: in between the do and the dids 'something hidden' pops out -- the marvellous!

Yes I am an 11ft Iguana -- you and David Icke have spotted the roller-ball eyes within (no use for bifocul lens bras,then, as Marty Feldman would have said) and, basically, what I decide today happens tomorrow (okay, there's a time lapse between decision and implementation -- we haven't been able to ditch beauracracy yet. I am keeping watch -- people are illuminated silhouettes shifting beneath my nails which is the Illuminati equivalent of CCTV but without the carbon footprint. Besides, I am not a carbon-based life form and so can't hold a tune.

Hi Belinda, my names Allan and I perform as Gordon Zola I don't know if you remember me from the greenroom, but I remember you,and enjoyed your performance.

Hello Gemma! It was fantastic meeting you and hearing you read your powerfully evocative poems. Litbury was amazing, you created a wonderful, unique and friendly word-based family event. My dad thoroughly enjoyed himself, despite hating poetry. As soon as he got home he phoned his friends and said, 'You'll never guess where I've been all afternoon....' Thank you.

I like insects. I am one. Our websites can commune with each other in an interfiasco. I am sure that Hermione and Ermintrude will go along. They are determined cybernauts. I may not be able to. I have been confined in a play pen before and escape can be troublesome.

The website will celebrate fiascos, insects, colloids, cybernetics, lump hammers, toffee, biscuits, quantum cookery using dark matter, and stuff. Ermintrude and Hermione will be most welcome -- I hope they will come to regard it as a second home. I should be in receipt of said website this week and will probably launch a badly designed, ersatz prototype very shortly. Meanwhile, we are to have our own play area on WOL!

Quite right. I wouldn't let you on my space. You should go and create YourSpace. Whales are no good, they are bald and they always blow their nose when you talk to them. I am prepared to discuss with them about Shambo becoming thier first minister provided they come and meet me in the Moby Dick pub because that is only 400 yards from my house. They must dress properly in thread worm suits and they will have to cover that disgusting baldness with proper pink wigs. Oh and they are not allowed to smoke unless they go outside.
