Hi Jeff, thank you for your kind comment and really good suggestion on "The Mean Genie". Just about to change it, thanks. Lynn X

Thank you Jeff for reading my poems and for your kind comment. With warmest wishes, Larisa

Hi Jeff, thank you so much for kind comments on "Seduction". Glad you liked it. Lynn x

Thanks for commenting on the Woolies poems, Jeff. But don't worry about binge drinking and the Broken Society: that nice Mr Cameron and his friend Mr Clegg will fix all that.

Hi Jeffo

I still have nights like that... and being sober and stayin on soft drinks don't help...in fact it's worse ... least ways when ur pissed you think you sound like Casanova... when you're sober you realise you don't even speak Italian.....??? what am I goin on about..

Thanks again C U soon!!

Gus

Jeff, thanks for commenting on Whitehaven. glad you liked it. win x

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your kind comments on "Flesh".
Just been reading your samples and latest blogs, all good stuff, especially like "Glastonbury - no more". Cheers, Lynn x

there's only one Jeffarama! :)

Darkly is a very special Lady... she lives in my head...and slips out of me at night .. then lays with me in the dark...

Hello Jeff
Many thanks you so much for your continuing support and critique of my work, I refer to your comments on the 'Loney Edge Of Time' Iam so very lucky to have such a devoted fan.
Augusta xx

Thanks for the comments Jeff...I know what you mean about the choppy lines in Stockings, I've been doing much shorter lines of late so it might get a revision at some point.....or I could start wearing ankle socks! :)
Cheers

Likin' all this...good gear matey... I'm off to read y'blogs now... toodle pip

Hi Jeff - Posted on Chris' 'Nearly Love' poem -
Well 'Serial' can be 2 syllables, or rather emphasised parts (Can't remember the technical term) Yes I also like the extra HAS for the reason Jeff says and you could have this and keep the sylable count in my version (just). Win

Thanks for your comments Jeff, glad you liked it.
I've had a very good Christmas thanks, hope you have too.
All the best,
Cx

Cheers Jeff and all the best for you and yours next year!

Jeff, thanks very much for liking Don't Look Away. It's one of what I would call my postcard poems, ones I work away on in the hotel room in the early morning when my wife is still asleep. I think it has a lot in common with your atmospheric poem Napoli, particuarly looking at the picture. I also like The Journey of Your Life, because I'm a sucker for trains and stations. They just provide moments of such great drama, of life-changing movements, of reunion and separation. Best wishes, Greg

Hi Jeff
Had been intending coming over for Sunday, but having seen the early start; the guest spot; the quiz; the music, and thinking there'll be a large turnout, with open-mic in first half only, I'll be staying at home.
Have a good time

Thanks for the comment Jeff, not sure if it would get into the octagon but sure all I can do is try. Yeah I think I might keep goin with it and see what happens.

Thanks man i wrote 'at least we tried' when i was about 15, some of my worst work but i thought i'd just put it up anyway because it was harrassing me.

Good Evening Jeff
I do hope you are warmer now after reading Voyeur.

it seemed to make quite a few of the older geration a little hot under the collar, but hopefully no trouble for you.

Thank you once again for your encouragement and comment
Augusta x

Hi Jeff
Thanks for your comments on Ghazal (her dad).
Snap! Mine is also 9. Win x

Ah, yes, very romantic. Thanks for taking the time to read my verse. I know that mood in yours, waiting in a busy station and yet really theres only two people there, wonderfully atmospheric. Best, Jane

Good evening Jeff

I would just like to say how inspiring I found your 3 sample poems. I have to confess to sharing the views in the Glastonbury one particularly. At the point when freedom from the machine became a weekend going TO the machine, like you, I chose the radio. Some great truths in your poems.

not perturbed at all!


Joseph

Thanks for your comment on my poem Jeff - the voice is tuning itself up for Christmas and so looking forward to the next Tudor!

Hi Jeff,

thanks for the comment on 'incoming'

steve x

Hi Geoff - Thanks for your kind comments on 'Love Passes' - much appreciated. Hopefully next year I will be mobile again and get along to some of your events. Best wishes

Dave

Thanks as ever Jeff re your remarks re Shirley's Bedroom...


Your a star... but ya know that already!

Gus

Hi Jeff,
sorry again I wasn't in Hebden for your fundraiser gig, I hope it went well. Lately I have to keep going back north to keep some appointments. deb x

Hi Jeff
Thanks for your comments.

I live where the Glastonbury Festival takes place, and so I understand what you mean by the vivid picture you paint of the festival site. Maybe you're just 'trench' weary. Hope you decide to make it next year.

Take care

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for comment on my stuff. I like your Glastonbury poem and Cemetary Gates. Also enjoyed your JCC recital last month at the Tudor.

your glasto poem is spot on ...

Thanks for your comments on Crow's nest.
I think every poet's soul drowns somewhat in staring at the sea.
Good you felt the sense of yearning for gentler more expansive shores.
looking forward to see you do your stuff at hebden x

Yeah, I saw Control. It's quite hard to believe that someone so talented would be driven to such extremes. Thanks for your comment.

Cheers,

- Josh

hey jeff...loved Glastonbury poem. Ha what a shit like dive of foul cow turd pie..yuk. watching people get shitfaced and roll around in cow shit is not my idea of fun either. fuck glastonbury! parties in a cow field can be fun however but make sure you dont get crushed in a stampede or anger some big bull. portable ghetto blasters are a must for easy jumping over hedges ;)

Hi Jeff, thanks for the comments, I can see there is a lot of honesty in your writing too and I can hear the punk influence in your samples! I enjoyed 'cemetery gates' - lots of vivid images and plenty to reflect on. I was put in mind of a sign described on the radio recently in a cemetery 'placing flowers on the graves in no way benefits the dead'. I'm curious to know what they are lining up for in your poem? Is this a suggestion that there may be an afterlife?

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for reading and commenting on 'Growing Up' - glad you liked it.
Cx

Hi again
A bucket list? Maybe. But there are certain elements that I might look forward to more than the others.
I'll leave you to figure out which
Steve M

hi there jeffers!
thanks for the comments on the poems i've written upto now sorry for the long delay more will be coming :) enjoying your performances great work! :-)

Hi Jeff
Thanks for taking the time etc
It was nice to sort of meet you last week (is a nod a 'meeting'), and I look forward to having the time to chat next time

Hi Jeff, hope you are rested after your Busjking for Beer tour. Shame the New Brighton leg couldn't, in the end, take place, but hey, that's rock'n'roll. It was good to see you at the Bards. Come again. Thanks for leaving your comment on my "He wasn't gay, but ..." poem / monologue.

Cheers Jeff, loved the feedback and intend to spice it up, have two versions, one of them may not go down too well with some people, have already been reprimanded for colourful language. Need I say more?

Thanks for the pointer on the 'typo' - missed that one- ha! you wouldn't believe that I can teach English, get flailed for mis-homophoning!x

Thanks for your comments on 'that' poem. It is one that I will never perform - but it served its purpose at the time. Thanks for organising the Busking for Beer - I really enjoyed all the venues I was able to get along to. I guess you will be relieved to relax now and start writing more. I'll look forward to reading it. See yous around. xx

Thanks Jeff for commenting on my poem `Why`
Enjoying your recent change in style. Good work

Hey Jeff, thanks for that comment om Pearl Stitch, really appreciated. I have written what I hope is a performance piece, which I am going to blog this time ( next one I will keep under wraps until I get the chance to perform it.) Would love you to have a look and tell me what you think.

Nicky x

Hi Jeff, great to meet you at the Howcroft on Sunday. Great poems, enjoyed 'dark skies', and che, kinda and aziza really enjoyed it. Hope to see you again soon.

nicky x

thanks man, yea im gonna have to get on top of that eventually.

HI Jeff,
thank you : ))
I fully intended going to your gig tonight at the stubbin' but I'm still in the Dales. I haven't found anywhere to stop in Heb yet. Am down next week for Uni, staying with a friend so maybe see you at WOL? I hope the gig goes well and am sorry I can't make it.Deb x

Thanks for your support with WOLOP Jeff. The only problem will be wading our way through the very many blogs to choose a winner. I think it should be a more democratic competition though. A lot depends on how many people bother.... Look forward to seeing you at Tudor on Saturday. Izz xx

Hello Jeff
Thankyou for your lovely comments.
I'll see you next Thursday at the Tudor.
Yolande

Thank you Jeff for taking the time to read and comment on 'Deprived'... much appreciated.

Your poem 'Someone in Particular' put a smile on my face... funny : )

hi there jeffers!
thanks for the comments on the poems and keep up the great work :)

hi jeff,

thanks for your feedback- i always like to hear what other poets have to say about my poems.
I like your style too it is a little like mine in that you like it to rthyme (is that how you spell it?) it is never deliberate.

I am afraid I do not have enough attention to detail to change wonder for wander- although I wish i had. Just bad spelling on my part I think.

I like your poem darker skies and the bit about just another baby to add to the list. It reminded me of this baby p business and how there are 30 kids a week dying at the hands of negelgent carers but they never make the press and no one knows about them. A tragedy.

Anyway on that happy note.

Hope to see you at the green room sometime. Cheers Emma

Hi Jeff - thanks for your comment - yes it went a lot better last night. Re Southport - have had a rethink - have cleared my head and probably will make it. My friend would really like to hear me read so don't give my spot away. How many am I allowed to do? Would kind of like to do 3 but will restrict it to one if you are short of time...
Isobel x

Doh! am being dippier than usual, i just re read your tour dates and realised the obvious..that you're still in't middle of it. So i might hopefully be able to get to the Heb one at least : ) sorry..hope your tour goes well..shift tenses..debx

Hi Jeff,
hope your tour went well : ) sorry i couldn't make it to any venues, I'd have liked to but am back up North now, further up..and public transport sytems few and far between.
Thank you for your kind comments on Blackwater. Deb x

Thanks for your comment Jeff - but you must be pulling my let about the great performance at Wigan - this is the one where page 2 went missing and I went from intro to conclusion with no middle! It was a great night overall though - am looking forward to the Southport one.
Isobel x

Heya Jeff,

Often the state... is the title of a Bukowski poem that I can't find anywhere &...maybe I'm a bit too obsessed with wanting a nice kitchen...it comes from working in catering you see :p xx

Jeff,
enjoyed looked at the poems, esp Fighting On. I do part time work at an Arts Centre and since last year having been writing a poem for each gig I've attended; everything from thrash metal to jazz punk to Tibetan Monks. Best wishes for your Busking 4Beer.
Rx

So nice of you to include Wigan on your list of sleazy cities! Put me down for a slot on Friday - I'll perform you my new poem - haven't posted it yet - it's hot off the press cos I want to do sound this time. Look forward to seeing you there.
Also - put Cate down for 3 songs on the 25th - I knew she's be persuaded - she's a born performer.
Isobel x

Hi Jeff! How are things? I can't believe its been this long since I was on WOL. Been so busy the last year with my degree but graduated now so will be trying to catch up on peoples work.

Drop me a line Jeff. Hope your well.

Ric

Jeff mate Im dead sorry but I cant come to the blueboar next week Im afraid I am at Lattitude festival which Im really excited about. I hope to come to one of the wigan legs of the tour instead : ) x

Hi Jeff,
sorry it's late but thanks for your comment on my poem 'Comfort zone.'

Doubt i'll make it to any of the events, you know the reason for that. Still, never say never eh!

Hope you're well,
Janet.x

Hi Jeff, Thanks for commenting on my Glasto poem. It was really wierd... out of the gloom all these M . Jackson songs sprung up. I had no idea why, then of course I heard and again and again etc. Speak soon. Win

thanks for your latest comments Jeff!

Ha!
Funny that you should say that listening to me reminds you of being back in school ; )

Merci de l'avoir écouté Jeff.

And now the kids are on heroin
the teachers can't cope,
but in all this mess
there just has to be hope

-

Its odd Jeff cause when I first saw you live I always thought most of your poetry would be comedy-based but you do the 'serious' poems startlingly well :) Love it- truely do.

Yeah I hope to come to one of the tourdates - probably the one you suggested :) I picked up a flyer for it at the Hebden bridge slam yesterday so see you soon! x

Hi Jeff

Thanks for commenting on Only Fond. I particularly liked 'Fighting On' of yours. Sounds like you are!

Dave

Thanks for your comment Jeff. Yes - it is a bit of a performance piece - don't think it comes across at all well on paper - in fact I think I might stop posting performance poems - I will always love performing them though! See you on Thursday.
Isobel x

hi Jeff, thank you for your comments on Oyster.. when you getting to Heb? its not on next month tho, so I'm told. other x'iting stuff on instead. thanks again, deb x

thanks :-)

Hi Jeff,

I love your poem When I'm Down - something I relate to myself although I like that it recognises the transiency of feeling like that.

Angel

Thank you for taking the time to read my poems Jeff...
Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated...
I will actually be re-writing/editing 'Connection' as my mentor Gus has suggested...
Just waiting for a bit of free time : )

Hi Jeff, Thanks for you comments on 'Muse' - glad you enjoyed it.
Good to meet you the other week in Wigan.
Cx

Cheers hun, you were great too, I love that poem more evry time you perform it!!!

Are you in the slam, Jeff? Just got an email confirmation...

Extremely worried about it but really want to do it : / D'reckon I should wait til Ive done a few more open mics or just go for it?

Hope you got in! Good luck xx

Exceptional performance at WOL Sale last night, mate.

Well done and thanks again.

Steve

Thanx for your great comments as usual Jeff

Thanx for the offer of Vixi's No but you've gotto let them make the first move.... Phew

Thanks Again
Gus

Thanks for your lovely comment - I love the Tudor but yes it was rather a shit time to take the stage! Never mind - I'm a survivor! Look forward to seeing you there again
Isobel x

Haha, jesus Jeff - you've taken over my WOL page - thanks soo much for all the comments - Im a lucky lady indeed.

Ah yes quick thing - the rhyming change in pretentious music fan is intentional just to suit the more erratic style of the other side of the speaker..maybe it doesnt work haha. What d'reckon? xx

Your dreams reach the skies, and your passion burns as bright as stars. Congrats on Acoustic and Poetry, Jeff. You inspire me to take flight with the pen in hand.

Melissa

Jeff - good suggestions re my geography poem. However - ha ha - I have answers. Yes, Queensland is no country, but I had to use the 'land' rhyme to fit the rhyming scheme, so Qatar wouldn't have done. I too am a geography buff and used to know all the capitals. Did you see the news recently about a two year old girl who has learned most of them already?!

Yep, see you on Saturday!

Thanx for your comments re; Northern Ladies

I've got a set that covers various parts of the country... Jeeeze I got around when I were a lad...
Thanks again
Gus

thanks for comments on poem jeff , it is passionate yes , sad , i am not sure , maybe at the time of writing , now it seems more like an enlightenment :)

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for reading, and commenting on, 'Requiem..' - much appreciated.
Cx

Aw cheers mate - yep that sounds good I think I'll come along to (On the 16th I mean)

Yeah Im also applying for that slam (All I have to lose is my dignity after all! : D)

I'm going to have a look at some more of yours in more detail in a bit. Many absurd and wonderful compliments coming your way - I would invest in a shield quickly ;) x

Hey Jeffarama! Cheers for checking my stuff - loved you at bolton poetry slam - hope to come to more bolton stuff soonio.

I do found it interesting that everyone seems to comment on the poem (That you commented on which is Binge on whinge) as I find this to be my most laziest and ...(to use the technical term) crappest poem : D But yet everyone seems to like it.

Nevertheless - I like to many of yours to name! Keep at it - hope to see you soon! Youre one of boltons finest xx

Thanx Jeff

Re comments on 'Jennifer'... I do write a lot of poetry with hidden meaning... But wouldn't be great to be that young again... and know what we know now... Your Manky RitzGreat ..great read.... didn't know you wore mini skirts...
Gus

Hi Jeff, I live in somerset...where the cider comes from ! Sian x

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the comment...and you are right! The title needs a bit more to it, I'm not sure what yet, but working on it, any suggestions would be greatfully received! x

Merci Beaucoup Jeff pour ta remarque sur mon poème What Is Love?

J'aime aussi ton poème The Sea...
I especially like the last verse:

'The sea is a dream
for you and for me,
and visible from the stars
for the universe to see.'

Hi Jeff,
just want to say it was lovely to see you again last night and as usual you did a great job as compere. You always make everyone feel welcome and appreciated for their efforts, and i especially appreciate that, being a woman who walks in alone looking around for a friendly face.

I like your lighthouse poem by the way. It reminds me a little of how i feel sometimes.
Janet.x

Thanks Jeff for reading and commenting Re Chaque Femme Est Belle.. By the way I pleased to see you are now, poetically speaking of course, a new and shining beacont in the darkness. Mind you I think Bolton needs more help than a Lighthouse...
See you soon
Gus

Wey Hey, Well done on coming 4th in the slam.. proud of you babe. xxxx

well done on coming runner up in the bolton poetry slam! I want to enter a slam one day I hope I will guts someday and will get over my monotone voice!

"It's like your first gig on the front row
It's like your first girl on the back row..."

Ah yes, Jeff. Now that's what I call poetry!

Fucking superb.

Steve

Thanks for your comments on my poems. Coltrane was a jazz saxophonist of endless invention.

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your comment about Different Dad. Also thanks for putting on a great night at Bolton. Myself and Maggie had a really good time and I see that you are planning another already for May so well done.

Cheers
Seamus

Thanks for a great night at Bolton.
Sorry I didnt do the full 15 minutes, but I dont think any more than 15 is good for any poet, no matter who or what unless they are very adaptable, im getting there but have a lot to learn yet., you def have to break it up, people just get bored, no matter ...I didnt wanna do that 4 you Jeff. It was great night! I Love your delivery style its good and kinda punky! (whatever that means!)

keep going and heres for another Jeff night please.

Pete

Hi Jeff, Good to see you at the Green Room last night and thanks for reading the bus stop thing today. I have tickets for an event next fri evening in Huddersfield so sadly wont be able to come to the gig, sounds good though. Hope it goes well. Win x

Hi Jeff, Thank you for your feedback :) i'm good thank you, and will take a look at some of your stuff :)

Hey mate,
thanks for your recent comments. It took me ages finding out which ones you'd posted a comment though.
Trust you're ok and hope to see you soon but no promises.
Love Janet.x

Thanks for thecomments re 3 Stones and Jack and Jill... got to start taking more water with it... See you soon!
Once again many thanks.
Gus

Ta for the comments on some quite old poems Jeff - see you soon - maybe at Bolton?

Hey Jeff, thank you for your comments on 'words'. I really appreciate it of course! I just read and laughed at 'Appointment with Fear'. Especially at the end when it was apparent all the torment and fear was only the check-up. Like the picture too. Ally :o)

Hi Jeff, thank you for your kind comments on my poems.It does sometimes feel like my wee worlds will come crashing down but they're tougher than I think..ice and glass.
Sorry to have missed the last WOL cos was snowed up int' Dales,did you get? Deb

Hi Jeff,

Good to see I caught your eye whilst you were catching up. Glad you enjoyed it.

I am happy that there are people like you in the world, you always make an effort and have time for people Jeff, you should be proud of that, a good soul you have and the eye for the poems, I hope that your dedication and kindness brings love and light to you

thank you for all your encouragement once again, and for your comments on not only mine, but Laurettas and everyone else here, we have missed you out and about but be sure that when we catch up it will a chance to have a great drink and chat.

Peter

Thanks Jeff, for your comments on mix-tape - I think the others were right in that it doesn't flow easily in quite a few places, I keep meaning to take it down and re-write it.
Do you know Dawson is a very old English surnames? - mentioned in the Domesday Book around the Middleton & Rochdale areas.
:-)

Thanks for the comments on my book intro...I hope your attempts go well...it's an ardous task...
Once again Thanks
Gus

Am enjoying writing the more serious ones must admit! Have started to vary it a bit more instead of the gag pieces! You'll see if you are at bolton in a week or so's time! And of course the Poets and.. (Cheers for agreeing to do a slot - it should rock, I hope!)

Jeff you always leave a comment so I am leaving one here.Its great to hear that you are performing your poetry I would like to perform to a wider audience but I am always so nervous I shake!
Good for you!
peace and love to you!
Dan

Great to see you getting out and into those gigs!
Good to non poetry audience
Hoping to see you soon
Joint compere somewhere sometime?

whaddd ya saaay

keep writing

Thanks for your comments Jeff
God I love the pants off Lisbon.... Love the country..... Think I have some Chicken Peri Peri and a Plate of Sardines for My tea....

If not it'll be Gemma's cakes tomoz

Regards Gus

hiya jeff
i love your poem - I know you're there
i think that would sound brilliant read out loud
its got a great rhythm

sez x

Jefferama! Thanks for the comment on the serious stuff - I feel happier with the sarcasm but aware I look like a bit of a bitch taking the mick all the time. The next one will probably be about necrophillia. Delivered in the style of a spanish nun.

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for your wonderful comments on my poetry. We seem to be kindred spirits, and yeah, despite our mistakes, we have to move on. We cannot stand still.

I look forward to reading more of your work. Take care.

Melissa

Hi Jeff :)

Thanks for your continued support!
Have I been touring the NW? Nooo, I'm from Merseyside, love the Pool but live in Moss Side so you know heh
Thanks again
Beth

Hi Jeff, thanks for your comments about Re-awoken. You are dead right about using "for" instead of "to" and in fact it said that on the original handwritten version.

And yes it does suffer a little from cliches. Seems that "being in love", being something of a cliche itself, causes an overdose of cliches. I can see I may have a bit of a battle against them or I could just embrace them and do something fun with them.

Anyway Jeff, thanks

Seamus

Hi Jeff,
Cheers for the comment on the poem about my friend.
How are you anyway? Seems like your getting quite a few gigs under your belt now!
Keep in touch mate
Cayn

Hi Jeff,
just to let you know, i think you did a great job of compering at Wigan last night.
If you do as well at your own gig, it will be brilliant for you.
love Janet.xx

Hi Jeff,
I really did go for a meal with my family.
If you take a look at Tara J Mendes.
My little secret's out of the bag.
At least
( I think ) that's what the first poem was about in "honour" of me. The second one?
Well, maybe one day i'll find out for sure.

Sorry it took so long to reply.
Hope your gig organizing is going smoothly.
love Janet.xx

Hi, Jeff

Sorry to scare you with my poem. I did not mean that!! This was all fiction my friend.
Thank you for the wonderful comment!

Will not write dark poems anymore...Smile…:))

Have a great weekend!!

Take Care,
Zuzanna

Hi Jeff...thanks for your comments...it only took me half an hour to scroll down through your comments in order to leave one! I shall send you the bill for my damaged index finger ;-) x

Jeff, you always take the time to read our work and I'm happy to see you developing in your confidence and writing. I enjoy your work especially because of your musical passions. I am more inspired by good song lyrics than poetry, but then I think good song lyrics are poetry. I think that quality musicians and bands have a lot going for them in terms of poetic influence. Take Roger Waters for example.

Thank you for your kindness and sincerity and understanding.

Its of no surprise that you have so much love here Jeff.

Look forward to seeing you soon. I may get t the green rooms this Thursday.

ahah well thanks im glad you enjoyed it pls feel free to give feed back on my others and i really like yours 'Sanctuary'!?! take care. gabby x

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for your comments on my poem. Like you I'm relatively new to writing, and I'm exploring new avenues all the time.

I did think that the ZXombie poem was rather short, so thank you for confirming this for me.

I live and work in Japan and like more and more countries around the world, people are just sooo busy and can't see the wood for the trees, this is what my poem is about, if you hadn't guessed already.

I really like your poems, keep up the good work.

Belinda x

Hey, Jeff. I hope you are having a great weekend, and keep writing your poetry. I really like your poems.

As for what's happening here, nothing really except starting another retail job unfortunately.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

-Melissa

Alreet Jeffo... Sunday was a good night. Nay, Sunday was a fine night and one to be recorded in the annuls of WOL folklore.
As far as tribute bands go - I'm afraid I don't do tribute bands. As good as they are, they're not the real McCoy. The Stanglers are inimitable. If I heard a tribute band I wouldn't be able to get the concept of 'Jive Bunny' or 'Stars on 45' out of my head.
It's the boys themselves or nothing for me. If you're going in October/ November let me know. I usually get to a couple of gigs in and around the North West. Although Dublin would be a good one?

Somewhere outside Tokyo invented time.
Someone with a million watches invented time...

Poetry.

Hey Jeff, good to see you, especially in the iconic T-shirt of WOL photo fame. Might see you on Sunday night, when i'll be driving and on the coffee - after a pint, that is!

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment on my last poem 'POETRY FRIENDS'

I have missed you my friends - glad to be back!!

Thank you and have a wonderful week!

Cheers!!
Zuzanna

hiya jeff

thanx for your comment

i apreciate it, it helps me improve

p.s

im brunette -
i got fed up of doing my roots all the time lol

Unfortionately I never made it Jeff, but I'm definitely going to be at the next event in Preston because its my home town! I'm sure we'll meet eventually, we may have even already in a parallel world where my name is cir and yours is ffej

Hi Jeff, I chose timeless finity for its juxtaposition, because we really don't know if the world is infinite or if it will be bound my time just as in the case ourselves, no one really knows if our death will start another timeline going, maybe in a parallel universe, thanks for the comments Jeff! I still need to make it to one of the gigs!

Hi, Jeff. Thank you so much for your comment on my poem, Fine Line.

I love your poetry and look forward to reading it. :)

Take care.

Melissa

Hi mate, thaniks for your kind comments, glad I brought a smile to your face. Unfortunately I am better at sharing my words than my nubile asians so you'll have to find your own. I really like 'I know You're There' by the way. Cheers, a

thanks for the comments Jeff, I guess I had writers block of some kind, need to start writing films again for when I return to uni so been trying to turn to this writing more and been reading and stuff. I'll catch up on your poems soon, what adverts are these? Take care

Hi Jeff,
Glad you like the "We Can Do Anything" poem, I very much doubt that I'll be performing it though!
How are you anyway?

Thanks very much for your feedback. I think your poem goes very well with mine, it's so busy sounding, it really gives you the image of people bustling about on a city street. See you next month at Middleton.

Thank you, Jeff. :)

It was her wedding day, and I should've been there. But I hope she will forgive me one day.

Take care. :)

Hi Jeff

Thank you for your lovely commet about my poem swim day. I'm the lucky one. Working with special needs children is the most fun I ever had.

Lynda X

Hi Jeff,

I think a lot of us have felt this kind of pain and humiliation; it is how we deal with it that matters. Thanks for a great comment.

Sincerely Shirley

Hi Jeff,

I had tears in my eyes reading your beautiful comment. Thank you so much

Sincerely Shirley

Hey Jeff,

I read your poems, very nice. My favorite is the sea. very beautiful. keep writing out loud.

Hi Jeff,

You and Janet must have had posh loos. Ours never had a lamp in. I remember the nail on the wall but the newspaper was on the floor. Those were the days.....I'd rather forget. 8-)

Shirley

Thank you, Jeff for your wonderful comment, and I love your poetry as well.

Hope you had a great weekend. :)

Melissa

I never saw White Noise, but I was curious about it.

My poem was more about how we live within the internet, creating a digital face for all the world to see. :)

Hiya Jeff, sorry i've not been in touch much recently. Been busy.
Wigan was a great night. It did kick off a bit late though and because it was a dry night, most of the younger end were in the outside area. The poetry can still be heard but it does feel as though they are not as interactive listening to others.
Hope you 've enjoyed your Manchester gigs and Hebden bridge. I am planning on attending the next Howcroft gig so hopefully i'll meet you soon.
Thankyou as always for your lovely comments.
love Janet.xx

HI, Jeff

Thank you so much for your comment and the concern...Sorry for my absence...Writers Block:(
Other then that I am fine...lol

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for reading more of my poetry and for taking the time to leave a message. It gives my confidence a real boost when I get a positive response. I do not mind criticism though.

My Dad used to play there too. It is a wonderful place. Who would believe there is so much nature so close to Manchester? This Boggart is supposed to pinch our picnics according to the legend. Great place eh? I hope it brought back fond memories.

Hi Jeff,
I enjoyed reading your poetry. Interesting content and you have the skill for making it flow very well, in how it sounds to the ear and how you expand on your subjects. Thanks for the welcome on my page. I've realised there's quite a lot going on poetry-wise close to home and intend to get to some events soon.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your comments. You have some great poems on here. My favourite is 'I Love The Morning' because I do (love the morning, that is). Brilliant!

Hello Jeff. course i missed you.
and you missed one before coalminers too, i'll have you know. ( just joking.)
Been a bit busy myself lately.
Love Janet.x

Hey, Jeff.

Thank you for the comment, and I love the samples of your poetry especially the Sea. The sea is a mystery unto itself, but it captures our interest with its beauty and depth.

Take care, and keep writing. :)

Hi Jeff,
I'll be there on Thursday although I'll be the one on tap water due to povety!
Be good to watch you perform too!

HI, Jeff

Thank you for the comment on my poem
'A Smile a Day'- I should have mentioned at the beginning that it was an autobiographical write. This was written for a laughter and fun. Just to smile...:)
So if I made you smile this was the point in my write.

Thanks again,
Zuzanna

Hi Jeff,
Cheers for the comments, glad you like the McDonalds poems the first one "Theres Something About Ronald" was written a few years back now and was going to be published in a book except the publishers chickened out, something to do with "legal costs"!
I should really stop posting things on here though as you've now got a good idea of my set list for the Attila gig!

Hi Jeff, thanks agai for the your kind words. I'm glad you used the word tribute because that's exactly what i wanted it to be, not just to the unborn child in my family but to anyone that has experienced it. Thanks again and keep writing bud

Thanks for reading my poem "Cream judge" - it isn't about anything just playing with words - try reading it and getting the rhythm going

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for the comment on the last poem. "Just Walking in the Rain"- The poem was already published in this form therefore I had to leave as is. Although seems bit to long. I have to forgive myself for that. It was a Challenge poem for the previous site.

I thought I let you know about that to make it clearer.

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

Hi Jeff.
Your the first person who has actually realised where I got the title from! Nice one!
Yeah the Damned normally tour in August I think? Will be good to see 'em again!
How are you anyway?

Hi Jeff,
Will be good to see you at The Shay and the Hebden dates too, I have yet to read "New Model Army" as I'm a bit slow when it comes to reading!
Funfare is a great poem!

Thanks for the comment, Jeff.. Must admit too I like your newest poem here (Your other stuff is really good stuff too) - you have a beat in your pieces that is kind of like some of my own stuff.. (although I can't rhyme to save my life - lol) that I could certainly imagine going down really well.. I'm doing this piece myself at a reading in Manchester Central Library next month which I am looking forward to getting responses to!

Hi Jeff
Loving the new stuff
always great to read, better to see you in real life performing these punk ette pieces

great!

Thanks Jeff, on sale now! I'll email you the advert.
Really enjoyed all your poems - love the simplicity of 'I know you're there' - made me laugh. See you in July.....! (I'll be the one appologising to her parents after the show).

Hi Jeff,
I liked your poem 'The Sea'. "Creating lives and taking lives". The power of the ocean is many things to us all and it's simply put in your choice of words.
thanks for sharing.

Hi, was great to meet you too
Sadly though I was kicked out half way through as my friend was pissed as a newt and I was trying to calm him down and sadly the landlord thought I was part of it, not to worry though I enjoyed what I saw of Sham and glad you enjoyed it, I'll be on much better form for the Attila gig,
The Hebden night should be good I think it's WOL who's organising it, not too sure though!

thanks for your comments again jeff, i'm keeping an eye out for new stuff from you. strength was quite a deep one, I must have been very intoxicated when I wrote that one because I didnt remember writing it untill someone was reading it on my laptop! all the best

Hi Jeff,
Cheers for your support on Saturday, hope you enjoyed the gig!

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for your kind comments my friend in poetry. You have traveled to Lithuania. It must be a great memory from there. This part of the world is close to me as I have friends from there…‘Memory of Lithuania'...Smile

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

Hi Jeff,
Hope your well? Be good to see you at the Sham69 gig, I've booked Red Alert for the 9th May as well that should be a good 'un!
