....Ann, l came across this post by yourself "thisI like this too, it's subtle. And I always like .... dots in things - for some reason! I go to a local writing group and there was a new person there who said I shoudn't start a sentence with "And" !!! Pah!!! Might leave, or just start EVERY sentence with AND! Don't know why I'm gelling you this, thought you might understand. xx" Soo same as me too as well...xx Tommy ..

Merry Christmas, Ann. We look forward to having you back in 1215. Like Graham, I think of you lots.

Ann how are you? Be good to read something new from you. I hope you're well.

Thanks for welcoming me to the site. Sorry it took so long to respond. Happy Christmas!

I can visualise the entire scene like a movie.Its almost like I'm there with you through each line that you portray in your poems,and i find that so serene and delightful. You are one the poets on this blog that inspires me Ann :) I would really love for you to check out my poems and give me your opinion. Keep blogging!

Hi Ann - yes the comment was a response to the whole thing - poem film and soundtrack. It works well - looking forward to more.

Hi Ann! Pleased to meet you! I've just read your samples and think your writing is fantastic!

Thank you very much :)

Ann,
Thank you so much for being so welcoming....hope ill have fun on WOL.

Thank you :)

Many thanks for your welcome Ann

Best regards,

Kevin

I enjoyed listening to the "Lavender Man" something very spooky about it.

Hi Ann

Ian has just joined Stockport Write Out Loud and came along to the last meeting.

Hello Foxy,
Thankyou for reading "WriteOutLoud Women Blues". There's a lot goes on in my head (not much outside!)

Ann I think you mean Ian or do you want me to do a bit more?

Hi Ann - thanks for the 'hello'. :)

Ann, so glad you are active here again. I have really missed your input, your fine poems and your comments.

Hi Ann, nice to hear from you again. many thanks for your very kind comments on radio... agree with your observation on 'sloshing'will try and think of a better word!

Thank you Anne :-)

Hi Ann

It's been a long time since you posted. Has the house move accounted for all your creative energy? Perhaps you are posting elsewhere. The one piece I accessed via FB was remarkable.

Thanks for commenting on the flashers of old London town.

I'd agree with Graham - that's a lovely profile pic. x

What a great new profile photo Ann.

Hiya - found it! Ta :) What a great poem, and your voice sounds so good on the CD. Blimey though - you wrote a LOT of poems that year!! :D

You could maybe just send me the link to it. Right click on the URL of your soundcloud page, copy, then paste the link onto a message on my profile :)

Aye, thank you, all is grand with me. Great to see you experimenting with the music - look forward to hearing some!

Hi Ann

John Togher gave me a copy of the CD you contributed to in 2008, the earworm experiment. Yours is the first poem on there.

I LOVED it! All the glass tinkling/bells, your beautiful voice over it. It sounded like an old folk song, with the lines about catching a man and beating him. It's called Candle Game, but I can't find it on your blogs. Absolutely beautiful, and haunting, fantastic!!

Thanks a lot Ann for the warm welcome to WOL. :)

Hello Ann,
You may not remember but you commented on my 'This Dog' poem nearly twelve months ago now, I did get the message and belated thank you for the welcome to WOL and your very kind comment. I did intend to respond but, y'know life just happens and althoughI intended adding more to WOL, and responding to you message I just didn't get there, anyway I found time this week and here I am, hopefully will use the WOL a little more now.
It's surprising what you can learn by reading other peoples poetry. Some of the phrasing and sentences in 'Great north diver' are fantastic, also noticed that you've got your rescue dog, well done! That short poem is really clever and your reading of it is from the heart.
There are a lot of clever writers on WOL some proper wordsmiths, I keep having to look in the dictionary to get the gist of what they're saying. the stuff I've written isn't as wordy as some other poets I've read and I have to still get my head around poems that don't rhyme but maybe I'll get there one day.

Thanks Ann

Hi Ann I really enjoyed Breathing, for me the sound of the words almost made me lose sight of the meaning, if that makes sense wonderful )

Sorry to hear about you still being in pain. I must have been exceptionally lucky. I stopped taking the painkillers after 2 days. I WAS in pain, but it was such a different pain to the pain prior to the OP that I found it quite bearable and almost cathartic, especially as it got less and less each day, rather than worse and worse like the previous pain.

It's a very subjective thing I found. It hurt differently depending upon how I viewed it. Anyway, I'm still sure that you will eventually end up better off than before. I had a freaky experience after I got mobile again (about a week after the OP) when I became convinced that one leg was shorter than the other, however they measured them and proved that they weren't, it turned out to be my new posture and, having spent much of the previous 5 years limping and standing with all the weight on one leg I had become lopsided. Once I noticed that then I found that swimming, in particular, helped rebalance me, although you should only swim freestyle, not breaststroke because the leg kick is risky. Anyway, keep o keeping on!
