welcome back Lynn!




Rose ?

Thank you for commenting on Tired. I am happy that you enjoyed it. Congratulations on Poem of the Week last week. I didn't get a chance to comment but I enjoyed the piece a lot!

congratulations Lynn, on a first class updating of the classic nonsense stuff...it takes some doing to get a `catch on` title like that.

(I think the congrats are better done here)

Thank you Lynne for your kind comment on Shared Dreams :)

Lynne-thank you for the like on Worship :)

Thankyou so much for your comment on 'a boys pride'

I'm glad you agreed with some of my points and humor is not my forte, so I'm really grateful you thought it worked well.

Take care!

- Jade

Thank you so much Lynn for your comments on Sinus Rhythm and Taste. As well as on my profile page :) I look forward to going back on your page and reading your posts xx

thanks for commenting on 'Xenophobe' Lynn - I'm pleased that you liked it :-)
Ian

Thanks for your comment Lynn, really appreciate it :)

Thanks Lynn for commenting on Her Scent on Silk. I posted a while back but then, like you, I took a little break from WOL :) x

Hey Lynn, thanks for the comments on my poems it made me feel great and really gave me that little push I needed to begin writing more. I'm in love with TearDrops in my Coffee, have a great day!

Hello Lynn - I appreciated your comments about my
Referendum Calypso. Your use of the word "safer" in
context of EU membership had me thinking that maybe
many others think that way.
The word doesn't apply militarily as NATO has that
responsibility so I assume your meaning is more "financial".
Notwithstanding the many billions per annum we contribute
at present and the fact that our trade has to be made via
the rules of the EU which prohibits government self-help
for our industries etc., it seems very likely that in the
longer term this historically famous and successful trading
nation will be able to revert to a prosperous SOVEREIGN
nation. It must be stressed that the EU seeks centralised
political control over all its members. Do WE really
want that?

Thanks for your comments on These Streets. It's a very bleak picture I paint, I think it has improved beyond recognition since then. I wouldn't know though, I tend to steer clear :) It certainly aint Arillas ;) x

Thanks very much for your kind and supportive comments on 'Catechism' Lynn - much appreciated

Hey Lynne,

I really like your poems. The one about the young lovers was ace (19 year old lad and 25 year old girl). I'm very much learning the trade, so that's all for now

Lynn, I've missed you! Thanks for commenting on the 'poo' poem.

I don't log on daily, sometimes only twice a week, and then I do try to catch-up with reading Poetry Blogs, and making comments if I wish. I must look like a comment-hog sometimes, but I have to do it when I can. So I tell myself - don't worry about it - just enjoy your couple of hours. There are some fine poems on WOL these days, and many fine poets who have not returned after a short 'relationship' with the site. It is impossible to be 'all things to all men', yes?

I like 'Teardrops in my Coffee'.

Good morning Mr&Mrs D...(and Benji D!)...;O)
we apologise for not getting back to you sooner,but we've been up to our scrawny necks in one thing and another (hundred).............;o)


and re doing the 'disappearing act' for a while,well that was due to a certain lady (no names mentioned Patricia) who was left in charges of the 'controls' with the purpose of updating our profile,and ended up pressing all the wrong keys!

so having gone into an embarrassing forced retirement from WOL,we decided to let the shame down for a while-

hahaha!

Now,with the Master of the house (yeah right) at the wheel,so to speak,things,your friends are back to normal-or as normal as they medicinally can be-LOL!


lorra lorra love-

Patricia and Stef....xxx

Hiya Lynn, you're looking good, been anywhere interesting? ;-) Tommy

Once again Lynn-lovely to have you back!

All the best to all.

Patricia & Stef.xxx

Thanks Lynn, I appreciate your comments on 'Last Hope Of Redemption' my friend. :) Best wishes, Dave

Thanks for your comments on 'Don't You Dare' Lynn. Peace is the only way to achieve any stable world order - we've seen all attempts to use violence fail throughout history - and each time a new megalomaniac tries his hand, their reign is shorter than the previous bunch.

Of course they are generally too egocentric to notice history shows they have little prospect of success beyond a few years at most. best wishes, Dave

Lynn, thanks for your comment on" Her parted lips". I can't find my work on the main page! How did you and Ged? Tommy

Hi Lynn, thanks for your comment. :)

On the topic of another dog, I think that will wait a little while - we might decide to move again early next year, so it would make sense to postpone acquiring another woofer until then.

The idea of being a little way outside of town appeals, not 'out in the sticks' again, but just far enough to make dog walks a rural path rather than pounding pavements, hehe.

Keep smiling :) Dave

'Drift'..Drift! I get your drift x

thanks for the comments on Craiglockhart Lynn - now recorded it as a very up tempo punky song - really suits those fast rhythm repeats - posted it to my FB page - cheers

Hi Lynn
Thanks for the reply about World Cup Widow. I just wanted to put a different take on the World Cup and from a female perspective. Domestic Violence is dreadful and statistically it increases when England lose. Love is blind... and lets hope they win.

Hi Lynn
Thank you very much for your comment and to welcome me to WOL it is much appreciated. On your 'Teardops in my Coffee' I love the first verse..
'My eyes as wet as the windows, mirroring my pain'
Sets the mind of the reader to think why. You just want the waitress to give you a little more time in the cafe. Lovely poem.

Hello Lynn - thanks for your reply on my profile
page.
I was astounded to read the other day that-as of
May 2013-there was a figure of 2.49 million
claiming ESA/or old-style incapacity benefit.
What country of any small size/population can
afford that?
"Disablement" needs the most rigorous yet fair
assessment. What might be a disablement for one
job might not restrict employment in another -
especially interchange between physical and mental work.
As I recall, the introduction of the system was
a right-minded policy to alleviate hardship
in the short term, not provide an entitlement
life-style. Abuse of the original concept has
now brought the latter into being - which cannot
be good for either self respect or productive human effort in the cause of national well-
being.
Having said that, the onus is on any government
to make a system easily understood and just as
easily applied. There can be NO excuse for
confusion or complications when dealing with
people's well-being OR the nation/s collective
purse. It is NO place for jobsworths seeking
to "play" the administration of public payments
and give deserving cases the run-around and
increase their difficulties.

Lynn,
Thanks for your comment on the play

(I thought I`d blogged this, I don`t know where it went :))

My comments on things you have posted deserve
some "background".
My mother was widowed in 1949, leaving her with a
small army pension and a handful of children.
She somehow got by doing various jobs including
a school matron and working in a dress shop.
I left school aged barely 16 to travel 100 miles
to start apprentice work in the nation's capital
when the average weekly wage was a tenner and the
idea of "a thousand a year" was almost beyond
dreams. I worked until my retirement in a
risky shift-work environment - and now, in
retirement, I still pay tax...enough per month to
keep a person in food for a similar period by my reckoning! I am in favour of temporary help
via "benefits" for emergencies, the deserving old
& disabled but I have reservations about a system
that has allowed a culture of "entitlement" to
other folk's money to grow and prosper to the
extent that what was scrounging has become almost
sociably respectable and the idea that "God helps those who help themselves" has virtually vanished
from modern thinking. Pardon me if I want to
look very closely at anyone's claim for other
folk's money before giving it the "green light".
Include the young, the alien and the never-
employed in that assessment. I would, however,
approve a claim for a bike - for agreed use in travelling beyond the home comfort zone so many
never seem willing to leave!
Regards
