Great profile pic, Dom! Where was it?

many thanks for commenting on the rhinoceros piece Dominic - I appreciate it

HI Dominic glad you liked the poem. An 'adit' is the opposite of an 'exit'. So it's just a hole in the ground which I am seeing as a way in and not a way out.

Thanks Dominic for your wonderful comment on Just the three of us, intimacy is exactly what I was aiming for! It's a challenge to write romantic poetry free from cliché haha. Thanks again!!!! x

HI Dominic Glad you like MIles in Paris and explored the music on YOutube - some great stuff there! David

thanks for your further constructive comments Dominic - the track's recorded now - so can't make any changes anyway - would be interested to see if you think it works once it's in the public domain so to speak

Thanks for the kind and supportive comments on Passchendaelle mate. So Dominic, what's wrong with those particular verses? If I don't know then I can't do much about it :-) they still work fine for me ;-)

thanks for commenting on 'the vegetable man' Dominic - it's a fairly old work that I've revisited and changed around a bit - happier with it now - although Cynthia has spotted something I hadn't - so going to make another slight change to avoid getting too tied up with eyes :-)
cheers

Hello Dominic

Thank you for your comments on my Brevette Poems(Second Edition)
The original set was a writing challenge. M.C. Newberry suggested a fourth poem. I don't write a lot but it's fellow poets like you that inspire me.

Thanks,
Shirley

cheers Dominic - just went back to the thread and had a read of your favourites - interesting and varied - I'm afraid most of mine are either punk/new wave poets or war poets - I don't go for most of that romanticism stuff. I've come to Heaney late - but like him - some of the others are just 1970's/1980's poets that I've stumbled across since school. an interesting topic

thanks for the comment on my Nordic piece Dominic - yours, mine and Laura's make a good trilogy I think :-)

Dominic, thanks for commenting on Surbiton Lagoon, which has legendary status on Facebook these days. Other lidos survived - Tooting Bec, Guildford, Hampton - but Surbiton's did not. Shame on the royal borough of Kingston-upon-Thames. Talking of Kingston, I hope to be at Rhythm & Muse this coming Thursday. Maybe see you there?

Hi Dominic - welcome to WOL. I like your profile poem - if you put something on the blogs section you are more likely to get some feedback if that's what you'd like :)
