I don't think it would be a good idea to put a replacement poem there Andy. Next month's poem was chosen months ago cos they work ahead. It was chosen by Ernesto, which is the way it works. I don't think I'll be bothering to comment on any POM again - tee hee - this one and the last one has really finished me off. I take your point that it is sad to lose any poet off the site - I am not sure that Ernesto would have stayed much beyond winning POM though - that seems to be the trend - has last month's winner posted anything beyond his winning poem? It is a great pity that POM has caused such a schism in the site though - amongst poets who are here for the long haul.

hi andy,

thanks for your comments on the poem that should never have been....., was a bit of a heavy hitter for me and I nearly removed it on several occasions - but, I'm glad I didn't.

At the other end of the scale to your 'perfect place', ( that's from my subjective point of view ) and I'm lucky that I have been in that perfect
place with all my little ones.

Thanks again.

Nicky.

Thanks for commenting on my latest - yes it was rather a performance piece - hadn't anticipated the language upsetting people on here! Will remember to tone it down in future.

I guess I could work my way through to 'what she wears beneath..' but I might disappoint you all. LOL! No - I'm think I'm done with that one - it was just a brief moment in time where my confidence was shaken - so easily done - I've rallied now - for the next 10 years at least...

Thanks for your comment Andy - I would say definitely a page poem - my performance stuff is a lot punchier. Am agonising at the moment about whether to chop it all up and put better structure to it - but am glad you liked it.

Thanks for your comment Andy - I am always dead nervous putting up a new one - no I haven't performed it - it is hot off the press. Not sure if you ever read my Mixer Tap Madness one - it is several blogs ago but it was inspired by your 3x short poems and seemed to get good comments - your name came up a lot! Cheers for reading.

Hi Andy,
thanks for your comment on my latest offering 'the one which nearly got away.'
I see where you're coming from with the first line but will keep it in for performance purposes because of the intention within its contents. Although it isn't a rant, the frustration with it in the beginning, leading to a compromise is part of the making up process in many relationships. :-)
You know me well enough to know that i like to present things as they are rather than beat around the bush. well, at least things the way i see them. ha ha.

Your poem 'Forgotten'

for innocent victims everywhere.

Thank you for your comment on BillBored, i initially was writing it inspired by an ex partner and how i kept focussing on his positives, but the more i read it the more i apply it to myself- a bit of an awakening. I like your work- you have an air of all-seeing and all-feeling and i love how that shines out from your words. oh and the bursts of laughter too x

Hi loved your "Perfect Place".....perfect in its combination of senstivity, intuitive warmth and intelligence. thanks for your comments on "Questions for the Barrister" the real subject was known as 'the rottweiler on speed' he was an absolute nightmare of a character with no conscience. Met him ....horrid man!
