Hi Ann,sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, my new arrival arrived a mere 3lb 8oz, bless her but doing wonderful now, I am just about to look and see if the site is still as discursively apathetic as it was, there are so many intelligent and talented, and very opinionated people that frequent this site I was taken aback a little to see that discussion was a little lacklustre to say the least. Hope you are well, take care, Nicky.x

Thanks for your constructive help on Walking the Shore, Ann! I remember you and Ray ganging up once before on another poem of mine, and you were quite right then, too! I see your thoughts are turning to the beach for your latest. Very evocative. Must be the time of year ...

Ann, I happened to read your comment to Pete, about 'secrets' in poems. I think that is a superb way to express it: every poem IS a secret waiting to be unravelled by the reader. I think it is often just as much a 'secret' to the writer. What a great observation!

Hi, dear Ann! Thank you very much for your comment on my romance "Don't go away". Ann! I am just touched. Your words really encourage me. I'll try to tape another Russian romance and would like to hear your opinion. And the main point is: it's not the question of my voice but of the words in this or that romance. With warmest wishes, Larisa

Hello Ann, thankyou kindly for your comments on my lil' ol' entries. It truly makes it worthwhile to see people are reading my 'musings' of sorts, I only hope in the not too distant future I can return the feeling.

However, as your already blessed with wonderful admirers - it may be difficult than first conceived, nontheless many-thanks and take care.

Hello Ann, yes the eye is a bit 'in your face' isn't it. Hazel is the colour, as near to my own as i could find. Green/brown.

Sorry you won't see it again though. I have decided to depart from the site. Keep up with your writing and keep on blogging. No-one can ever accuse you of not having a good comment to poem ratio. It shines from you how much you enjoy the site and interacting with others on here. You remind me of me when i first joined. Unfortunately, the buzz has died as well as the inclination to write.
Bye and thanks for looking in.
Janet.x

Hi Anne, thats fine, thanks for your comments on the Nature poem, the meanings are simply one of people decaying as well as buildings etc, Im sure you already understood that, I was just reflecting back on your cat poem and how that too had layers, great minds think alike! x

Hello Ann!Thank you for your comment on dandling the baby!I created the music 2 days ago (and the new on my profile) for a show I'm doing but thought they sounded rather daffy when placed with an image. Yes, the granddad does look like Hugh Gaitskel! I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it. And I absolutely love your audio piece -- it's beautiful, mesmerising, and there's something mysterious and ritualistic about it that makes it seem a tad threatening -- as in a kind of bewitching. All your work has the thrilling fizz of enchantment about it. xxxx

Thanks Ann for your heartwarming reply.I think people like that must have no compassion and don't think about the effect that comments can have and its a case of ..kick a dog when it's down..I am so glad that my inner strength kicks in but just think of the poor soul who doesn't have that inner strength ..no I don't want to think of that as it is so sad. I send love back to you ...Bernadette x x ps. my view is people have the option to not offend so why do it,and keep an open mind don't forget to read between the lines x x

Hi Ann just noticed your comment on my blog entry ..Hopeful Recovery...Thank you so much for fighting my corner for me .At the time of the entry I was going through a relationship breakdown and was very emotionally charged which reflected in my poetry. I hadn't long joined WOL.and had already expressed that I was a novice.I looked up the person concerned's profile and it spoke volumes to me regards his character this did make me feel less upset but nevertheless I didn't submit any entries soon after that as at the time of reading that comment it really stung and knocked my confidence a little.I can now happily say that I am now over that period in my life hence I decided to try again this week and I am more than pleased at the positive comments that I have received so once again thank you...Bernadette x x

Hi Ann, thanks for comments on "Flesh". I often do put in the odd humorous comment, so the "too hot to handle" line was intentional, but if any of the rest sounded comical then it wasn't intended! I shall post a free verse version as well.
Lol, love your comment on him being a language teacher! My REAL guy is the one who started to snore in "Warm Embrace", so this guy could be anything really, though I did say French AFTER A FASHION! Lol, Lynn xx

Hello Ann,
Cheers for reading and commenting on 'How To Fix A Broken Man'. I've replied in the comments section of the poem, but I'll also tell you here - the 'marine on the beach' line was something Darren wrote himself in the comments under the poem, I haven't edited the poem since first putting it up and that line was never in the poem. He's a sneaky one that Mr Thomas.

Glad you enjoyed it! Even if you read lines that were never there! x

I don't think she saw me scribbling in my notebook, Ann! That poem and the one I've just posted tonight came out of two days of travelling on the trains of East Anglia. They're only fragments, really, and I suppose I should have worked on them more, but what the hell! Glad you liked Angel Hill

In case you are interested - Chris Co came first, Pete Crompton second, and Stella (a poet on here) came third.
I was pleased in that I know I performed well and the audience liked it - you can't ask more than that. All the winners were very deserving!
