That's the whole idea!

Thanks for the note, Paul! My work, graduate classes, and 2020 had the gall to gobble up my time. I’m happy to finally catch my breath to see you poets carrying on with your magical blogs. ?

Thank you for your on going support Candice.

Hello Candice,
Your samples are enchanting to absorb.
'RED CHAIR' is color-full, exhilarating, and nature-full.
T'HELL WITH HAIKUS had me laughing and counting.
'THINKING OF ME' had me inhaling and hearing the gulls.

Your impact-full compliment induced a rush of tingling chills.
I enjoyed visualizing the image compilation you presented.
I heartily thank you.

Haven't figured out the chore of uploading a profile picture yet.

Thank you Candice for your comment on my poem THE MONSTER. I am The Monster because ran out of coffee?

thank you for reading "the C-Word".
my prespective on a terrible disease.

Thanks for reading "Stray Thoughts"
that's about all I can say,
I guess most of my other thoughts
have apparently strayed away.

Thank you Candice..I too am sat by my fire..?

Thank you for the nice comment on 'Scoliosis' :-)
On the topic of 'Pre-Social Media times' I think the extent to which social media dominates our lives is definitely dependent on our location and it's culture. Yet I think it has greatly effected the majority of western societies! I live in England :-)

Re "It" hmm haha touché

Candice, you have it sussed. In my case epilepsy (a recent development) along with several types of dysphasia. But I am quite the "bonvivaunt" at social gatherings. Low blood sugar...diabetes? I could imagine us together on a night out (or shopping in Tesco's) and having simultaneous equations!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Candice :)

Candice - you have a great body of poetic work. 'All I want to do is write' and 'T'hell with Haikus' have a great inner warmth when I read them. 'Thinking of me?' and 'Discontented Diabetic' show a completely different aspect. I really enjoy your writing.

Thanks for the nice comment Candice.

I re-posted this piece as a sample of meaningless twaddle, that even I as the author can't find any sense in. I re-posted it in support of Phil Fletcher's recent comment regarding what he describes as PC "pretentious crap" I consider this to be a perfect example.

My own style of poetry is old fashioned, with an easily identifiable rhyming theme, and usually takes me anything up to a fortnight to compose. This one took twenty minutes

Thanks for comment on Beethoven, Candice. Yup, he gets to me: it's music first I think.

Welcome to WOL Candice - I'm glad you seem to be enjoying it. I've enjoyed reading your poetry - I'm not a great one for poetry about nature, but when it reflects emotions or moods, then I like it very much.

Ah nice one Candice - good idea to remove some, to put back later.

Thanks for your note on Before and After :D The gig that inspired that was the last time I felt the fear so badly :D It actually worked cathartically haha :D Hurray! The magic of poetry :D

Hello Candice

Thanks for reading Laura, and I appreciate the tip. I think that's one of the reasons why I write things down...so that others can have the chance to feel those moments too. I think I'll delete some and re-post later.

Hi Candice

Welcome to WOL :) I hope you find as much joy here as I always have.

Many thanks for your note on 23:4 re-drawn. Appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.

Loving your samples above! Very distinct and original voice you have.

One tip - don't post all your poems at once. Due to the nature of how the blogs are displayed, only the most recent one will show on the main blog section, which means the others will not get the attention they deserve.
