Just found 'This wanting look' Tommy. A phenomenal poem, bitter-sweet nostalgic loss. Awesome!

Hi Tommy - Thetis - yes a big deal in the day - occasionally still mentioned by authors such as in Tuppence to cross the Mersey. Cheers. P

Re how to shop for shoes. Enter any shoe shop at any time, spend as long as you like deliberating and buy as many pairs as you can afford and find cupboard space for, sometimes breaking all of those rules with your own 4 inch stiletto heels.

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.

Hi Tommy,

‘Why the rhyme or the rhythm?'

You're absolutely right. No need for either. That's the beauty of poetry ‘no finicky rules'!

I appreciate your feedback, Tommy

I never intended to upset you with a comment, Tommy. I, perhaps stupidly, underestimated the intelligence of the reader. I only sought to highlight a clever wordplay (as he seeks to remove foot from mouth).

Yes that sounds about right! First you pass the Adriatic then the Ionian then the Aegean! I sound like a GPS! Haha!
Sounds like a nice trip anyway?

Hey Tommy. Thanks for stopping by at my profile! If it was the Adriatic Sea you crossed then you passed from Italy to Greece and it wasn't the Aegean but The Ionian Sea. The South Mediterranean is my home and I find it ravishing! But I don't think it's just I that feels this way. I guess it's no wonder it took you breath!
Thanks Tommy ?
Mae

Happy New Year Tommy! Re my advice to male poets, i can't remember what that was now...I'm sure I've given plenty over the years and some if it twaddle.

My viewpoint for the here and now would be.

Let's stop judging some actions of the 1970s 1980s by the standards of today. It doesnt make sense to castigte people for things that were acceptable back then - the exception to that being paedophilia, which is vile in any century.

Groping people is wrong whatever the gender or sexual orientation but to rake something like that up 20 years later with no substantial evidence of harm done. Some people need to get a grip on themselves!

Possibly a bigger response than you wanted but ive always loved the way WOL gives you the opportunity to express yourself and let off a bit of steam.

'oooh's' and 'aaahhhs', grunts and groans, whistles and chirps are language in common to us all. No need of complex voice patterns or organised grammar whatsoever for basic communication.

'conference a ready man' is a very apt expression, meaning, I take it, one who is 'working with other people to discuss and carry out a particular plan' of any kind.

Happy Easter, Tommy, to you and yours. I always enjoy your input.

Hello Tommy,

I apologise for copying your hair style but I have saved a fortune by not going to the Barbers. However, what I have relinquished on my head I have cultivated on my face.

Cheers

Tommy, please check your last poem and switch all the 'whom's to 'who' as in 'he who'. I know they're the very devil, but lots of people may surf WOL this week. And check 'thrall';it's an old word.

I so hope you're not pissed. I always enjoy your work.

Being another Libra, Tommy. Or did I get it wrong?

Comment is about Tommy Carroll (poet profile)

Original item by Tommy Carroll

It had to be. I swear it 'had to be!'

It's the scope: often particular, but always with an eye to the general 'game'. Librans move like pieces on a chess board, with 360 degree vision, seeing innumerable ways to get from A to Z. And there's no such direction as 'backwards'.

I'm not sure whether that makes actual sense, but I've got a general idea what I mean. To be honest, it kind of sounds like the pith of a poem. I might pursue it.

BTW, I really like that 'Bacon' quote in your Bio.

Regards,

Cynthia

I totally agree with the idea of art being free. Especially poetry. I feel that if you force someone to pay for something that art no longer becomes the artist's but rather the buyer's. And I don't write poetry for anyone else but me (not to say I don't want others to enjoy it, but you know what I mean)

Thank You Tommy for your comment on poem "Reflection". The more I revisit it...I realize that there is a lot going here with poem and photo meaning...conflation....not sure what to make of the shadow looking back at me...more to ponder! All was created pretty quickly and just thinking about the whole thing still...but Thank You!

Thanks, once again, for the kind comments on 'Head In Hands' Tommy - I admit to be poorly read and hadn't heard of 'The Mezzanine' but having looked it up I can see where you're coming from with regards to the tone of this piece. I'm pleased it resonated with you - cheers mate

thanks for the comments on the 'Sun' *spits* piece Tommy - it's a worthless rag and should be shut down - and their petulant decision not to cover the hearing outcome should be the final nail in their sorry coffin

Hi Tommy, cheers for your comments on Scroungers. I like your profile piccie, and have to say that yes, I voted for Corbyn too.

Incidentally, I saw him in person yesterday giving a terrific speech at Harlow, pressing for all the important things for the majority, instead of the elite few. Power to the people!
