The repeated use of the word 'gaze' made me continuously think of the word 'quartz' which in turn brought a surplus of imagery itself.
Well done.

Hi Hannah, welcome. You flatter me and you read my stuff in the right frame of mind, an open one.
Very kind Keith. Your experience consolidates some of my lines, though I may exaggerate for effect sometimes; a comment like yours is gratifying and it is frustrating how we are deprived having been offered more than can be fulfilled.

I'm looking down at you all, in the wrong queue of course, having my poem judged up there, and I have to take responsibility for the irony . My sense of humour doesn't allow me to become overwhelmed by such technical aids as the famous stairway.
Brian, twice in one night is more than I manage at home, mate, but thanks. I assume so, yes.
Douglas, it's nice you saw it that way, thanks!
Thank you Taylor, glad you enjoyed it in a sympathetic way.
Don, as you queue to go up, someone is coming down. Nothing is perfect. Thanks !!
Tops marks for Mark for the pun. Thanks!
Hannah, Jon and Anya too kind.!

A good poem but I am completely unable to use a keyboard to compose poetry, even a message or letter I find difficult. For some inexplicable reason I must use pen and paper which does not mean that I am a digital native but that my mind and hand need to work in unison which provides for a better flow of thoughts and ideas.
Well done and thanks
Keith

My observation elsewhere (not answered) that women in the
form of motherhood have so much influence (power?) over
us in life - for good or bad - is, to me, given added force in these lines.

A gorgeous and full bloodied poem full of dark and mysterious wisdom which the Kletzmer music emphasizes perfectly. You obviously know your subject and I enjoyed the whole experience of reading and listening John. I have worked with Jewish bands myself as a pianist and have experienced the effect it has on its devotees.

Dark waters and an injection of caution - a spirited poem which leads us into the eye of a power struggle. So much can be passed on my parents - you'd need many books worth of analysis to cover this, yet it's right under our noses, Rachel.

Lost love is a pain. I remember the line feeling of love is the most beautiful but separation is unbearably painful from a story I read during school time. Loved the rhyme and the way you expressed feelings by words.

Ah Becky - before I got down to the comments your line
'Two sofas, three tellys ago' appealed very much to my 'alternate' way of expressing things. I then saw Brian thought the same way. ?

Kevin,
Thank you for your comment. I have found that absence has a way of highlighting changes. Being away for ten years and re entering British society I have noticed many different changes in various aspects of life and in particular attitudes. I don´t attribute manners or the lack thereof to any social class as that has no basis in fact. However, there seems to be a rural / urban divide on this issue. Towns are more cosomopolitan than ever before and the life style much more aggressive and faster. Whereas rural communities which are less cosmopolitan tend to be more relaxed and old habits die harder in these places. Close to where I live there is a small council housing estate the children of which are remarkably polite but I do not find their equivalent in the towns and cities. Perhaps a survey needs to be done. Thank you for raising this as confusion can result in prejudice and misinformation.
Keith

Hi Taylor,
Your Bio. section just about exactly tracks my own approach to the poetic sensibility. Everyone should - no must - be accepted for their own individual worth.
It's really difficult, I think, to avoid the influence of others who went before us. But we should try as hard as we can to find our own voice; it's there, it just needs freedom and time.
It has taken me more than half a lifetime to find something approaching my own voice (I'm starting to get there, finally).
At the age of 65 (I'm not sure what the world expects from 65 year olds) we all have an infinity of contributions to humanity which never run out.
All the best,
Chris
PS: I feel the same today as I did as a 20 year old!
