Thanks for your comments on "Passing Feet". The poem
was inspired by my own need for a stick these days (until
the medicos get around to treatment on a back problem!).
It is even more noticeable how quick people walk when
limited to a slower pace!
Cheers.

Hi Steve - writing screenplays was/is a great
experience, not only the discipline of creating
a story but the translation of it into the
correct format...and being able to accept
rejection as "the norm". Certainly, I found
the best way was to send an intro. letter/
email first to invite any interest "without prejudice". My biggest achievement was to have
a script solicited by the VP of production at
Paramount Studios in Hollywood - almost unheard
of in a $$$$$ industry that is paranoid about
accusations of plagiarism and the possibility
of lawsuits!! It wasn't taken up but, almost
two years to the day, a film called "Hard Rain"
appeared which contained many similarities to
my own submission. That always intrigued me!!!
Now I'm having as much fun and satisfaction with songs and verse. It all helps keep the
mind active and busy in retirement.
Cheers - and good luck with your own material.
Never give up.

Steve - many thanks for your latest JFK post.
LBJ was one of a number of influential Texan
politicians with powerful (oil/land) friends
who kept him in the game. Your mention of that
memorandum effectively cancelling JFK's own
earlier issue really does seem sinister in the
context of events...especially the DATES
involved. It was LBJ who insisted on being
sworn in as president on the plane at Dallas
and had a friendly judge called to do it. They
even had to use a bible said to belong to the
murdered JFK - with his blood-stained wife
standing there. One photograph notoriously
captures LBJ and a Texan crony/politician
exchanging winks - as if to say "We did it!".
Being president (with a close friend in J. Edgar Hoover) and a Bobby Kennedy out of power
meant any investigation that threatened his
downfall and possible jail time could be shut
down. There are SO many various factors that
with the knowledge of hindsight, indicates that
there were dirty deeds done and not necessarily
by Oswald (whose FPs were never traced on the
rifle allegedly used) whilst he himself passed
the Dallas Police firearm residue test 100% clean. Incidentally, the pistol he carried
on arrest was found to be defective and could not be fired. What was it he said in custody
(before he was silenced forever by a Mafia "gopher") about being a "patsy"???
I was intrigued to learn that Time-Life, the
organisation that bought the famous Zapruder
film for a fortune then effectively "sat on it"
for ten years when it was then said to have been tampered with, was anti-Kennedy and had connections with the CIA - a number of whose
people were on its payroll, with the man who
authorised the purchase of the film among them!
Check "Operation Mongoose" for the CIA and the media. It all gets SO murky, doesn't it?

Howdy Steve :)

Good - I am delighted that WOL has inspired you! Oh, and I only joined this site 3 years ago, had written ONE piece before that, and never ever really paid any mind to poetry. Never read it, wasn't into it.

When I first joined, my profile simply said 'Performed nowhere, published nowhere'.

I wouldn't say I was an expert, no, but what I HAVE done is just simply wanted to keep writing, to see what I could do, to keep trying different things. Some of my earlier poems were quite good, but most were pants :D

It is only ever YOU that makes the difference between continuing and improving, both writing AND performing, and not being arsed about it enough to do that.

Keep writing, and keep trying! I've enjoyed a few of your pieces, as you know. You've more to come, I'm certain of it.

Performing is terrifying. There's no two ways about it. I still SHIT myself beforehand, and convince myself no one will want to hear my 'pathetic crap'. Practice x 10000000 - it may be terrifying, but if you can touch people, and you hear that applause, the buzz is HUGE :D

Very best of wishes to you Steve and I look forward to reading more by you :)

Hi
My neighbours cat disappeared and was found much later curled in a ball under the stairs dead. I think they find a quiet place when they are ill. Fortunately, the field mouse was a figment of my imagination.

A long time ago now, I wrote some lines about
looking in the mirror and reflecting...
"You can still say "I have me" - so I have some
rapport with the sentiment you expressed in "Yourself".
As for "Life", I have commented on your post page.
Keep them coming.

Hello Steve - thank you for taking the trouble to comment kindly on "Down By The Mewstone". This is a personal favourite...for a number of reasons, and I'm glad it pleases others. It almost "wrote itself" as I walked that distant path to the sea some years ago.

I think I'd probably see eye to eye with your wife - I'm just the same with my kids - though I might be fighting a losing battle with my youngest.

My grandmother was from the Serrrrffff so we were all brought up to speak correctly - don't know how my mum managed it really - she must have been forever correcting us. I love being amongst northern accents though - it makes me feel at home.

Hello Steve - I appreciate the kindness of your
comment on "Spare Us". I suppose it came to mind in response to a lot of the negative (to
me) positions taken in poetry nowadays - and
the approach to Christmas also seemed a good
time to be positive about the gift of life!
I note from the rhythm in your own words that
you enjoy the appeal of verse. We belong to
a club that may be somewhat out of fashion but
never fails to offer its members a window for
"seeing" and responding to the wider world.
All good wishes...
