Hello Dave, sorry for the delay in answering, but thank you for your kind comments on 'Doggy Walk'.

How is the warming towards another dog going, or do you have one yet? x

Hi, Dave. Thank you for the inspirational words of advice.

Your sample poem is absolutely lovely. Great imagery.

HI Daniel, glad to see such topics being covered, I figure the medium of poetry should cover things that are often swept under the table, the lyrics of popular songs rarely manage to give victims an anthem they can adopt... Best wishes, Dave

Hello Dave,
Thank you very much for your comment on 'World Cup Widow' it was very much appreciated. Like yourself I also cannot see why any man would want to resort to any kind of violence after his team loses. Unfortunately the days of being humble in victory and gracious in defeat seem to get more rare.
Much appreciated.

Thanks Isobel - yeah, I'm not having a great spell so far this year, I have pain management issues from old spinal injuries that flared up. Nothing to do but drift through the chemical fog until they subside so I have some clarity of thought. But glad to be back and have something to post again. :) Best wishes, Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for you comment on 'house hunting'. I am glad that you enjoyed the play on words..
Have you ever sampled the work of Les Barker, his lateral thinking in his monologues is really creative. xx

Hello Dave, your sample poem is one of the best provocative poems I’ve read in a long time. You have managed to do what a lot of poets miss out these days and that is to use the five senses as well as making your poem very concrete.

You provoke a scene that many of us have played out, and which I sorry to say a lot more have still to pass through that unpleasantness in their lives.

Hi Martin, thanks for your kind comments on 'Excess Memories'.

While I did actually revisit this piece to 'tweak' it a couple of times since that original version was posted, it has remained untouched here, at least in part because I hadn't got around to re-recording the audio and Winston had been kind enough to select it as poem of the month a couple of years back.

I'm sure the metre is still not 100% - some would say I tend to be lazy on that front - unless I'm penning a sonnet perhaps. :) Best wishes, Dave

Cheers for your comments re: 'A New Dawn Rose'. By way of reciprocation I read your sample above and, metre apart, liked it. I stumbled over the scansion, its rhythm getting lost in lines of variable length [8,11,14 syllables for eg]. At the risk of incurring your wrath, were this to be tightened up I reckon it would turn out to be a mighty poem.

Hello David
From one ex-carer to another
Your very welcome comments are spot on about Annie

I've done a sequel, but it's so bloody long (twice as long as this first), it's likely to send readers to sleep, so I'll keep it back for a good while

'Excess Memories' is a compassionate write.

Especially liked these lines:

'At a man she then barely knew who tried to overwrite
Jaundiced views of men gained from events afore that night
Shaking from exhaustion as dryness came to end that spell
Face bathed with flannel and water to freshen her well'


Hope you are well...

Hi, my dearest Dave! Thank you so much for the comment on "Your Love". You know that I've decided to rewrite most of my poems. I think the time has come to do that. I came to the conclusion that a lot of my poems are very week. I mean not the ideas of the poems but the structure of them. So, as far as I have no inspiration today for writing new poems, I've decided to overlook my old ones. Am I right?
With love, hugs and warmest wishes,

Your ever friend,

Laura
