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

Thanks for that me hearty!!!

Are you at Middleton Later??
Gus

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

Thanx Jeff,

I'm still not sure if I caught a glimpse of my self reflected in the shop window...
Gus

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

Hiya Jeff,
thanks for all your recent comments.
Won't be at Middleton tonight. My family's taking me out for a meal for my 50th.
It was on Thursday but it's only time we could get together.
Hope to see you soon. Love Janet.x

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

Hey, Jeff. Thank you so very much for your comments on my poems, Tether and Fragments of Heart Break.

And I wish we could turn the clocks back, but time won't let us. But, at least, we have time to learn from our mistakes.

Take care. :)

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

thanks for the comment on 'Wrong Text Message' - lot could be said there.. I'll tell you it over a pint sometime! But thankfully the bump has gone! I can't believe I actually read out that first poem 'Buxton to Manchester' without too much trouble as all I could see was stars literally for that poem!

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.

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment on my poem - WHO WAS SHE?
Yes, it would be a nice story for children to read, I agree. It could be expanded to a longer chapter as well, will think about - Maybe I will write more latter on... :)

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

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

Good Day, Jeff

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Yes, I agree your poem was showing rather the Life Circle in your poem. It was wonderfully done... In my write I was trying to express the music the Tunes that we hear looking at Nature in general, with a relaxation in mind.

Thank you and have a great new week!!

Zuzanna

Dear Jeff,

I hope you are enjoying the remains of summer. I cannot believe fall is right at our doorstep.

And I hope those doors continue to open to you. A few have opened to me too.

Take care. :)

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

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, thanks for your comments.
Yes it is sad to be leaving a church which did help me a lot, once upon a time.
Trouble is, i've outgrown their way of doing things...How's things with you anyway?
Hope you're keeping well?
love janet.xx

Thanks Jeff, for your kind comment about Worn

Cheers, hope your coming along to that!

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?

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for your lovely comment on the "Takes two to Tango"--Hope your day is going well.

Warm Regards,
Zuzanna

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. :)

-Melissa

Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment on my haiku. This was my first attempt, and I think I'll try some more. I look forward to reading your first haiku

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

Hi Jeff,
Sorry to confuse you but I was confused myself and that's not diffcult either.That moment was too beautiful too be true, it was like a dream. I hope that helps.
Shirley

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your your comment. I am so pleased that you enjoyed it.

Shirley

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for the precious comment you wrote about my latest write - A NOTE"
I like this last poem of yours. It is an excellent write.


Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

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.

Shirley

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!

hi Jeff thankyou for your comment i will definately find that clash song!

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

Hiya Jeff, re- your comment on a devil poem.
I've no idea what you mean, i'm sure. Ha ha.
Hope you're ok. Janet.x
ps. Melissa and zuzanna were spot on with comments about my bloodstone poem. which should tell you where my inspiration came from.x

Hi Jeff, will be a good night, hopefully I won't be ejected at this one!

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?

Hello, Jeff

Thank you so much for your nice comment on my latest poem. Sorry that I am getting back to you late. Have a great day!

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

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!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your comments on water-birth
I like your stuff!

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.
Ally

Yeah was a bit of a bummer but not to worry.
As for the Queen poem the guy actually said that the poem "incites hatred" and in his eyes I'm "a terrorist" fantastic also if I perform it in Bradford I won't be walking out of the venue, to be honest I was planning on sprinting out anyway!

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!
Cayn

Hi Jeff,
I'm on at about half fourish doors open at four and it's a tenner in. It's the Hotel just down from the footy ground on Hunger Hill.
If you email me on cayn666@btinternet.com I'll forward you my phone number in case you have any difficulties finding the place.
Hope to see you there
Cayn

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

Hello, Jeff

Nice meeting you in WOL - It is wonderful place for poetry. I have been here since last year and totally enjoy. Thank you for your wonderful comment on my last poem 'Tribute To Mothers'

Thank you for sharing your beautiful writes.

Warm 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!
