thanks Hazel.
come back soon.

liked your cat poem.

do you always talk on the banana?
try using a cell phone.
much handier.

if cats have hats
what's their excuse?
cats do have hats
blame Dr. Seuss

Thank you for commenting on First one Last Hazel. Always valued and appreciated. Taylor ?

SO MUCH YOU

You look so happy in this photo
that smile is so much YOU,
We wonder what just happened
that you could be so moved,
Could it be you inherited money
or did the divorce go through?
Whatever the reason, keep smiling
that smile is so much YOU.


wink.

Watch out for that flock of words
flying across the page-
they may leave something behind
you will have to clean up later.

wink.

is that a museum you are in?
or your house?

Thank you for reading The Feather Hazel. Isn't it wonderful how thought provoking poetry can be. ?

Thank you for reading 'language of the trees' yes I agree and Trees are taken for granted, we walk among them and don't notice!

Thank you for reading Her Heart Hazel. ?

Thank you Hazel..I think I might just wear a skirt..?

why why do you capitalize Hazel
but not ettridge
is it a secret code
are you ashamed of your last name
IS it your REAL last name
and who is that clown?
is that the real
Hazel Ettridge
holding a banana?


?

Thank you for reading Nan's Lippy Hazel..?

In your profile photo
Betwixt a phallic column
And a filing cabinet
You sit salted away
Like the icicle on the edge
Of a wave.

thank you for the comments n the courtship poems once again you are the best of all the things in my day..

Nice to meet you Hazel!

I look forward to reading my way through your writings.

Jane?

Thanks for your comments on 'there are no angels here' Hazel - I think you are right - Angels are a retiring breed
Ian

Like Cynthia I loved your 3-line verse under your bio. Simple. Imagery perfect. Thankyou Don

thank you for coming by that was nice.

ah YES you totally got it Hazel ? this was an exercise in trying to create an archaic looking language to fit the archaic looking poem of a crows perspective on life. It was easily achieved using a phonetic translater - which uses emphasis on the words stresses - so reading it aloud is exactly the exercise needed to make it work - the 'translation' was more for those who simply tried to read it - rather than use the phonetics.
Glad you liked it
Ian

thank you for the comments on my poems all of them were right on the mark .. you get me and that is always a good thing between poets thank you again..

Hi Hazel, thank you for your comment on my poem.
Much appreciated.

Hannah

Hazel - thanks for the comment. You may be interested to know that I received a note from a WOL "moderator" to tell
me my poem had been removed because it did not comply
with WOL Codes of Conduct and furthermore that WOL was
not a platform m= for my political views. I think back on what I've seen on the site and the foul, often vituperative
language used in political attacks and criticisms - and I can
only wonder at the reasoning behind this decision/action.

thanks for your kind and thoughtful comments on 'back to the park Hazel - I'l chuffed that you liked it
Ian

thanks for your kind comments on Eostre Hazel - I'm really pleased you liked it
Ian

Hi Hazel, thanks for your comments re "Plans on hold".
l use "thoughts" to act as a pivotal and personal expression of what would otherwise be a too factual, impersonal account of events.
I appreciate and welcome any and all such advice.

Just rechecked your 'bio'. I've been enjoying your recent participation in 'Comments' on many poems. I'm not sure what you 'might call home'. Your own inimitable self?

(Have I spelled that right - too rushed to check my dic. Definitely slipping!)

Hello again Hazel - I'm more than happy with a bit of insplagiarationism! - one of the wonderful things about WoL is the way we trigger dialogue and response through poetry and commentary. So bring it on is what I say. I'm also flattered that you found favour with my Fun in a Fiat 500 - phew! It did strike me that your Earsplitting was on a similar theme when I read it. All good stuff and nothing to forgive whatsoever. All the bestest, Col.

Hello Hazel, thank you so much for your recent comments on my poems and to my profile page. Honestly, words like that floor me in the nicest way possible and I am so very grateful. Big hug. Col.

All feedback gratefully received. I type straight onto the blog so don't usually do stanzas. But agree this one (Child) needed them.
