Thanks for your liking on In the Darkness - - -

thanks so much for your kind comments on 'Herod' Jackie - sorry it's taken a while for me to respond - I've been in Austria on holiday - just got back.

just to say thanks for your liking of On the High Plains!

It was a dream in the sense that there is the hope of something dreamlike unable to be confirmed; but I twisted that line into a trap for the mind!!

regards Ray

Jackie,
you're a fucking gem.

hi friendo

thanks for reading me a while back. I haven't had much time to float along this site in a while, but I glance at it and your comments always do good to bring me back.

hope this message finds you well. :)

many thanks for your kind comments on 'in the halls of the kingmaker' Jackie - apologies that it's taken a while for me to thank you - been away from WOL for a little while. I appreciate you commenting

HI Jackie, Thanks for your kind comment on the ramblings, good to know others can relate - the injustice of being punished when you don't know what for, unforgettable ;). I'm sure I've probably given my own kids some similar memories...

Thank you Jacqueline ! Jacqueline is a lovely name :)

Sorry you found 'I dream About Love' too sad. I suppose it is in a way. Here's something about love thats a bit more upbeat:

Thanks for looking in,

Oh lord,
you're really too kind. Thank you for reading. :)

I think that being vulnerable is a huge part of all artforms, and most art is humanity clawing its way out. I'm just lucky that words and I have gotten along so far.

writing, like life, can hurt. It can be an uncomfortable admission to yourself and to other people, but usually it's for the better. Steps forward on glass are better than none at all. Or at least that's what I think right now.

thanks so much for your kind comment on 'Dexteram Patris' Jacqueline - much appreciated x

morning/evening jaqueline

I'm smiling like an idiot that you called Raycharles a 'piece.' If I was pretentious I'd describe it as a satire of found poetry, but it's really literally a personal conversation copied, pasted, and reformatted to make it readable. But it is verbatim: it was a bad night with a good ending.

Sometimes my life feels like somebody's making it up, and when I'm talking to someone my mouth moves like I'm an actor, before I even have a chance to think about what I want to say.

If you want to know more about Raycharles, there are some other things way way way back that I wrote like loveletters before I was on WoL that I imported onto here. They are all named 'Ray Charles' followed by a number. http://writeoutloud.net/public/blogentry.php?blogentryid=45923

Just went over your new pieces. I would love to hear R.A.M. recited -- I, too, suffer the malady of a drifting mind. The problem is finding the surface again, sometimes.

Lady Spodden is simply fantastic -- very well paced and the language is fucking perfect. genuinely, i'm impressed and humbled.

sure. I'm not very good at recital -- part of the reason why I'm here in the first place-- but I can give it a shot.

pick one.

Thank you for continuing to read me.
Embarrassingly enough I get excited when my inbox reads that you've been over something new I've put up. :)

Jackie, Thanks for the comment on 'Pringles Bladder', glad you liked it, to be honest I prefer to write (and perform) 'less cerebral' narrative poetry as would rather make people smile than make them think.

I should have written 'Do Not Try This At Home' on the bottom ;o)

Thanyou for your lovely comments I hope I have plenty more poems to write wendy

Hi Jacqueline thanyou for your comment on my poem EDITH my mum had eltzimers for 25 years she was lovely and died aged 95 regards Wendy Higson

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for your lovely comment on Mummy's Happy Rhyming Poem, really appreciate it :)

Hi Jacqueline, thank you for your kind comment on my poem A Journey In A Lyric xx

Glad to hear that the shed your father built is still standing, Jacqueline. I enjoyed this sample poem, full of wisdom and humour. And I was pleased that you enjoyed 'Tewkesbury Abbey', too. Thanks for your comments. Greg

Hi Jacqueline, and welcome to WOL. Your sample poem really struck me. I found it intelligent, grittily wistful and honest. It has good rhythm, nothing "forced" and I'm sure will appeal to many readers. I look forward to seeing/reading more of your work on the blogs page. I hope you will find that WOL is a useful, friendly and supportive community and that you enjoy all the facilities it has to offer.

Regards,
A.E. .
