Thanks for commenting on my space poem. If I added another line it would have to begin with the letter S or D. Otherwise my capital letters at the beginning of each wouldn't spell 'space' :-)

Hi - I'd already posted one a while ago called "when vampires menstruate". Sorry if I'm being dim, but I dont understand the bit about "Road" - can you maybe enlighten me ?
The Origin of the World - great picture - but I think a more honest title might have been
"don't you just love fannies?" (or similar)

Hi Laura, i'm good at suggestions and not so good at putting them into practise :-)
It's not up to me to show how i would have set it out.
I just noticed that a few lines were very long without punctuation as i would have voiced it out loud. If you say the first line out loud yourself you'll see what i mean i think. It's in the pauses where i just thought that maybe if you look at the structure, it would emphasise some of the power.

Feel free to ignore. I'm certainly no expert.How are you by the way?
You've been quiet on here last couple of days.x

Hey - you're right about HMHB - but I managed to find a few things that I haven't heard them take the piss out-of-the-proles for;
swimming with F***ing dolphins
(now shagging a dolphin's diffrunt)
going to Sharm el Sheik
going to any F***ing Disneyworld
going to Florida
buying a chiminea/patio heater
adopting a panda/elefunt/nig-nog
getting solar panels or crocs
getting a F***ing i-Pad
stroking a Tiger in Thailand
...no, sorry, I did that one :)

Thanks for your lovely comment on my 'Genuflecting' poem.
Not sure if you can buy lemon scented star drops. My gran always used to add a few drops of lemon juice to hers for added sparkle :-)

I used to be a regular at the Tudor. Not been for ages because i have very mixed feelings about the venue and have to be in the right frame of mind to deal with it.
I've travelled around to quite a few venues in the past but have no transport now when not working and I hate travelling alone.x

Yep - I knows about the formal 5-7-5, but it hardly trips off the tongue(for me anyway) - whereas a limerick (say) is the polar opposite - it still has a formalised structure, but has a singy-songy rhythm to it. anyway - I liked yours (and Dave's recent one too).

I'm in Wigan, not a million miles away. How cliche is that? ha ha

Haiku is really meant to be made up of images and includes at least a season, scent or other of the five senses and be deep and meaningful (at least that's how i allude to them)
I just enjoy them for what they are.. a neat little poem :-)

Hi Laura, thanks for your comment on 'Poem.' and yes it does feel a bit strange writing very short poems. I used to practise with Haiku. Might re-blog a couple just for fun :-)

Hi again. Yes for me using found words is great because you are using someone elses palette of words. The decision for me is how much you intervene. Do you leave it completely ramdom and rely on its quirkyness like some of Stevens recent postings or do you try and introduce rhyme for example like your last one and create something new. For me the tailing off is due to falling between these 2 approaches. A punchy strong rhyming end may have worked better. but hey... that is just me. Also remember the Neutral milk hotel album, Well i have down loaded it and will listen in the car soon. My deductions were merely google aided :-) Win x

Thanks for the comments on Tom Pudding.
Quite spooky that you detect an "Irishness" about it. When I wrote the final lines I kept singing the song "Farewell to the tent and the old caravan, To the gypsy, ti-tum-tim, the travelling man, And farewell to the life of the rover".
Liked the shopping list. It reminds me of the times I've have fish and chips twice with a can of diet coke.

Thanks for the comment on my attempt on the freedom theme.
I won't say where it alludes to. I prefer to leave it to the imagination in the hopes it will perhaps allow readers to be reminded of a similar place they might have been themselves.
It's a trial and error with poetry i have going on here which i haven't tried before so hope it works in that sense for you :-)

Hi - I know this sounds mad, but I've actually built our business around the "wild & wacky" ideas I'd had after a few spliffs.
I wrote em down & the next day they still seemed sensible - just broadens your horizons. Maybe they should hand out spliffs at No 10 cabinet meetings - we might get some sensible governance then :)

Hi Laura - I think that's a lovely story, & yet again, synchronicity must be at work here, cos - like I said - I heard the Exact same phrase used on TV - and whenever I see/hear/read something unusual like that I always squirrel it away to think about later - and it was such an odd phrase - yet something that you could imagine any of us doing at one time or another. all the best.

Thanks for your comment on my Freedom poem. Yes, I thought it was funny that he didn't scald his mouth, perhaps he did. And though you suggest that I punched him in the mouth, I couldn't possibly comment.

Hi Laura

Thanks for your comments on the recent train one. Glad it works for you. I agree that to get the reader to fill in the blanks is a good thing generally but the writting still has to have quality and sometimes its easy to loose that when you know the context yourself. Win

Hi Laura, thanx so much for your comment on 'Night Drive', v much appreciated. Glad you like the second bit, but yes the first bit was to set the scene and give that chilled solitary feeling that was the moment of inspiration for the poem really.

I do like to ask questions in my poetry and a lot have (prob still a few on here), like 'Don't tell me the answers I did a couple of months ago - http://www.writeoutloud.net/public/blogentry.php?blogentryid=15953

Anyway, hope you like that if you havent read already and hope to see you soon, will be at the tudor on sat 9th october and thurs 14 october, so might see you then, if not 4 November with Mr Kettle! cheers Jeff x

Hi Laura

Thanks for coming back and explaining your take on the knotty question of allusions. There's no right answer is there. One thing that is troubling though is that some people fill their work with allusions because they are well read and love what they read - which I think is true of you. Others do it to show off. How to tell the difference?
