it took me about 15 yrs to write the 400, so if you're doing 50 a year then you are doing a lot better than me !
sometimes I couldn't write anything for months then half a dozen all at once :)

Hi - Like I said to ann Foxglove - I'd just run out of poems - I'd posted the (very nearly) 400 I'd written over the last few years, so, until I wrote something else .....

Hi Laura - thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on "The Patient". Actually, I started last year but left for awhile. I'm adding a few of what I've written in the meantime. Let me know what you think of my older work (some is dark also, some isn't dark at all - like life, I guess!) if you are so inclined and I am looking forward to returning the kindness and take a look at your work too!

I'm so glad that people picked up on the progression from whisper to scream because that was how it evolved and I wanted to somehow get that progression down on paper. I also very much appreciate that you agree with the sentiments of the piece - I hope that anyone going through this now will get some comfort out of knowing that someone understands.

Thanks again,
Lisa

Hi Laura, 'Infarction' (of the Myocardial type) my coming to grief nearly 2 decades ago at the top of Ayers Rock in Oz.

Glad you made a link with rhythm and pulse activity. Many thanks also for your suggestion which I have taken up.

I really don't know how to expand on that line. I just jotted it down like that. In court one day a dad called his daughter a whore as they were walking out and it shocked me to the core. I wanted to capture as much of that shock as possible in the poem. I have no idea why he called her that, so I just tried to write a story around it.

What would you do to it? I really don't know where to go with it and still keep that shocking edge to it, I almost wanted it offensive, I was offended when I heard it.

Hi Laura, thanks indeed for commenting on 'What the Master Saw'. I think the fetish went beyond him just liking stale working class women - Cullwick saw herself very much in the role of slave (a kind of low grade S&M) and she literally liked licking his boots.

Hi Laura;

Thanks for the comment over 'Ticket to Ride'. I'll defo have to amend the typo as I am a bugger for them.

Severed Sun actually began off as a typo which I sorta liked and stuck with. You are dead right about the context of the piece.

See you Soon (I'm resting until September / October from properly performing)

I'm actually a well established tap dancer in parts of Asia. Yeah I see what ya mean with good or bad being a matter of perception. But I've been rejected by pretty much every small press publisher in this hemisphere. Thats what I meant with reguards to my stuff and yeah I've tried a few different styles. Cinquain, syllabic but I try not get too engaged in one style as diversity keeps it interesting, if not for anyone else then for meself at least.

Hi Laura -- thanks for commenting on 'Eye of the Beholder' -- I've just been on MSN chat with my daughter in Canada, who did ecology at Bangor, and she reckons she has a book on the Gaia theory left in our loft, so I'll go take a peek this weekend, and see if I can find it. I've heard of it, of course, but my background's mainly maths, engineering and physics, so I've tended to steer clear of such stuff, until recently, p'raps when I started feeling poetic, eh?.
Ta for the pointer!

Thanks for the comments laura. Im just not a very good editor. Im not sure whats good and whats not. So I just throw them up here. I kinda try out a few different styles, this one at the moment seems easy to write so I'm gunna stay on it. But thanks again for the comments.

Cheers Laura for commenting on The Changeling. I'm a dizzy sod at times; have to park my car in the same few places in a multi-storey, always leave my keys in the hall & I do wonder of I'll remember where I live once I've been through the menopause!

There's a fear for me of losing my womanliness too - lots more things than I conveyed in the poem which focused on female sexuality.

Anyway, thanks again, glad you enjoyed it xXx

hola Laura : ) thank you for reading Svātantrya and your kind comments on it...you summed up the person it was about very accurately;
"doesn't need to flaunt, or abuse.....just IS."
they left an imprint on my memory like people like that seem to do...
thanks again Laura xx

yeah but you kinda managed to write the poem i have had stuck in my head for three years :) all about firepits , pendle and how people communicate at a different level in a festival , that if we could bring into everyday society would make it richer for us all. everyone is a friend until they prove they are not worthy

Hi Laura;

Thanks for your comment over Leaving Belfast... It's certainly a piece where the detail carries it I think, but am pleased you like it. It's one that has made the live set for me and Jeff's band, so you'll end up hearing it again at some point, but thanks for the encouragement.. x

P.S. - hope Sale goes well next week.. x

I was on about the comments like this
"Theres something to be said for castration".

[OK... so which bit do we cut off when the abuser is female, then?]
whatever next - are we all off out lynching niggers?

Hi - you are absolutely right about reclamation - and I hadn't thought of that.
Like I said to Kath, the poem is marvellous, but the comments (for me) were drifting off into maudlin-ness... so I just thought I'd wreak a little havoc :) [and make a point at the same time] xx

Hi - re: Kath Hewitts poem, Daddy's Girl.
....yes, it was just good old-fashioned bad taste. But seriously, I was once told that if you can laugh at bad things, even really bad things - (Hitler, Pol Pot, paedos etc) - it takes away their power, diminishes them & brings them back down to a human scale where we can deal with them as we ought. Her poem is really great, but the flip side of the coin is that fear breeds fear, whereas if you can laugh at a tyrant it takes away their power over you. Many jewish comedians have jokes about the holocaust. Only my 2 cents. all the best. B
