For me, the most visually powerful poem amongst many was '75 Nights of Bombs'. I'm busy writing about my Pathfinder dad and WRAF mum...
Also loved SEGMENTS, particularly:

Hypnotised the cat rolling oranges
under tartan slippers’ soles.
To the knitting needle clack
of mum’s backing track.

So, thank you.

Hi Winston ta for your comment on ''Anyone for tennis?'' I could argue that the simpler the dialogue the easier to understand and the more powerful your message will resound: ''Eat less move more'' ;) tommy

thanks Winston. glad you liked this. It was just a bit of fun really although most of it is true in particular the bit about diving cats (one of them missed the windowsill the other night and nearly knocked herself out which would have been worrying if it wasn't so funny - lol).

Hope you enjoy the book. It's not one of my high brow books, as I wrote it for Cathy really but she loves it and that means the world to me.

thanks for your comments on 'she wears pink' Win - glad you liked it - I'm hoping to cover some other aspects of the JFK assassination as we come up to the 50th anniversary - so this one is a forerunner

Yes, Win. I rather did the over-elaboration in the song just to draw attention to the eye-rhyme between penis and denis.

Yes Win - I stayed at Lumb Bank when I attended the performance poetry course there last year. I didn't get any cake though! A wondeful place though I did find that wooded hill opposite a bit oppressive (no pleasing some people!)

Now, was that a deliberate use of 'abaddon'?! :D

You reckon? I think cos it got so little attention it got put ont back burner, and I've been ridiculously busy what with one thing and another lately. Have got at least 5 poems drafted but doing bugger all :(

I will try it again soon maybe :) Thanks chuck

Hi Winston thanks fot the comment on my untitled. I sat with the dictionary looking for a meaning of a word nothing to do with writing, but then started to scribble.

Hi Winston, thanks for leaving a comment on 'Life's Towpath' - yes I certainly did need a prod! I have had few moments of inspiration recently, so thanks again for stirring me into action. :) Best wishes, Dave.

Hi! Re: your comments on my 'Compilation Of Words' - I reckon the best way to do what you suggest [and, being a visual artist too I like the challenge] would be to create something in Photoshop; any image used would not lose definition. Nice idea: I might go for it.

Hello Win - I found the BBC radio snippet you
mention. How it took me back! Thanks for that. I hope to post a cricket-related poem shortly.

Hello Win - it seems that sporting poetry is something of a Cinderella interest but some of those written over the years are worth finding. I have a book devoted to the genre - once owned by an elder sister who made a gift of it to me some years ago. Some of the older fox hunting poems would make today's PC advocates writhe in exquisite agony now that the fox is a Disney demi-god in modern sensibilities. The realities of the ravages of a hen-house are easily ignored by the city dweller.
Cheers...MC

Winston, thank you for your kind words on Grisaille.
I suppose the title came from a melange of sepia, a euphemism for nostalgia, and the manner of painting in a vague and unclear fashion.

Regards, Graham

It could well have been the George, Win, probably was, in which case I'm sorry to hear it has gone - although for some reason the names Brown or even Spotted Cow come to mind. It was all a very long time ago! Btw, your current pic looks a bit like it was snapped through a space capsule - though I suppose it's your barge window.

Hi Win, thanks for your kind comments on The Show and The Cruet Set. Little did I know when I left the district office of the Yorkshire Evening Press in the mid-1970s that 35 years on I'd be corresponding with a former resident of the town - no doubt in short trousers when I was around - and a current one whose tunes and lyrics give me a laugh night after night. I remember Gowthorpe, of course - our little upstairs office was on it - and a Sam Smiths pub that did excellent meat pies at lunchtime, which put me on the path to the current shape I am. Greg

Hi, Win
I think my mind is a regular deserter of my corporeal being - I'm forever losing it!
However on the occasions when it condesends to favour me with its presence I do like your poems. XX

Many thanks for the kind comments on my poems recently. Sorry I can’t offer a more personal thankyou but I’ve got gremlins in my machine which makes typing a comment over the internet take an eternity. Hence this rather impersonal catch-all done in Word and pasted on-line.
Notwithstanding, many thanks.

thanks win for the comment over the 30 poems thing.. so far - it's proven fairly straight-forward although some are better than others which i guess is to be expected.. if i can get maybe 6 or 7 which are workable into something better from it - i'll be happy.

see how i go of course

and he's still going strong, Win... don't normally write in this kind of speed - well not since i was about 20 or 21, but it's good fun doing it short term as if i am lucky - may get a few pieces that i can go back to and rework at a later date..

hope you are good

speak soon

Thx for reading and commenting upon my Chelsea Haiku Win- appreciated. Sorry for the delay getting back...I didn't think anyone would have commented on the poem after the first week...only just noticed :)

Hope all is well.

Not sure what is happening your end of the world, though someone said that Hebdon had no event at the moment? I even heard a rumour you were moving or sailing to another spot? Is sailing the correct term for a barge, is barge even the right word for a houseboat?

Hope to catch you read somewhere soon over the summer.

My Best

Chris
