Your sample Amanda 'Unsocial Media' is so good. And so true....

The she/he/she/he interchange was different. And clever.

The more I read it, the more I like it.....

I looked back 6mths to 'Pebbles and Boulders' and saw why I said 'So good'

Hello Lesroy,

Welcome to WOL. I know Montserrat well and once lived there. No independence as yet which is not helped by the volcano. I look forward to reading your poetry.

Hey Nigel just seen this today, the comment went astray from me! So How's this French Poem going? Try climbing the Effiel tower with some trifle, but don't wobble like the jelly or spill the cream..... You had steel ladders ....I ended up with Friday the 13th Ladders and Snakes & Ladders, What a climb!

Graham you got in touch when there was a problem on one of the sites.
I wonder if you could send some more advice or put me in touch with someone because I have lost my like button on last two new blogs sent.

Thanks Nigel

I suppose I was feeling a bit spikey at the time I wrote that comment, Ray. I’d just had another poem removed; puzzlingly, it was from 2017! Not a re-post, you understand, but the original. It kind of implied that it was Not offensive in 2017 but is now! Odd.

Hi John. I didn't want to get bogged down on the discussion board when it seems to functioning quite well without my further intervention. But I did enjoy your heavily loaded references to "offensive" literary material, and thought it was not only relevant but entertaining in its take on the moderation process, which I have noticed in the past has been levelled against you. But I'm pleased to say you don't lie down!

regards, Ray

Hi Vautaw, thanks so much for your comment on Fingerprints. I've only been on the receiving end of a poem once (as far as I know) and it's quite a special feeling. ? Tx

Hey Tommy,

"...making sense of the written word..."

I totally understand. I too struggle with this sometimes.

Thank you for taking the time to give me your honest opinion regarding my work.

Chrystel
I think that I was expressing my opinion (re your verse) in a less than precise manner. I was trying to give you a genuine glimpse that I sometimes have of the difficulty I can encounter in making sense of the written word in its grammatical context. Several more attempts made it clear. Tommy ???

Hi Anika - Military Lines - thanks - and keep up with your poetic flair. I find it saves a thousand words in getting messages across in all spheres - me currently in pursuing a solution to deforestation both locally and beyond. Even when dealing with the hierarchy it seems to resonate. Blessings. P.

Liked both your poems in Printed Words Ruth

Never Settled, Never Serious

The tourist seemed like a lover
who did not care at all
liked the link up with the trunk to the suitcase
and the circus to the clown
the lion tamer watching
maybe fate to reel him in
when all the travelling is done.

It seems you haven't yet caught up
My first attempt free verse
Writ on the 6th of August
Took long while, (was a curse)

Titled my 'First Efforts at
New-Age Poetry'
It gotta lotta comments
Which, yes, did pleaseth me

Here are the first few lines
What one might call a 'taster'
But then again dk you might
Think it's all a waster

Time.....

"Beauty is a constant.

To roam the path is to become one with it.

We vibrate, we heal, we are reborn

Have you found your circuit?"

Isn't that music to the ears dk? I can almost hear the heavenly strains of violins in the background.

Shit! Who wrote this script dk?.....

Comment is about Adam Rabinowitz (poet profile)

Original item by Adam Rabinowitz

Ankita,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. You opened the gates to what could have been a very productive discussion. It is too bad that "Equality and empowerment" did not receive much commentary. I say that because you brought up some very interesting views and questions.

My thought is that equality begins with respect of the individual and the recognition/admission of the facts of inequality. I believe there needs to be more women in positions of influence to change the script of objectification to one in which merit, regardless of gender or race is the order of the day. And by merit, I don't mean successfully completing this or that given test. What I mean is willingness, tenacity, passion, etc. Recognizing those traits in a person, and having systems in place to foster the growth of the whole person, the sky would be the limit, not some manufactured glass ceiling.
