Powerful Cynthia. Man's inhumanity to man continues.
What's worse is that there is universal evidence in this day and age of fledgling lives being take away.

Comment is about Playing With Baby (blog)

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

Hello Tony, I really enjoyed 'CCTV' and the 24/7 invisible eye tour of your immediate neighbourhood! I especially liked the parallel comparison between God and the camera, seeing "the world at one remove, observable from every angle," and there's the hint of the authoritarian 'big brother is watching' scenario, which, to me, is wrapped up with perfect menace and the suggestion of no escape, in the last two lines "as if I were already dead behind these walls, like snow in a prison yard."

I am relieved to learn that I am not the only one who finds the process of writing poetry frustrating and unenjoyable. Its like a 1000 piece jigsaw to me! Once you start, (and oh, the idea has formed, so you have no choice but to find the first line!) you get no satisfaction until its all finished! CCTV must have given you great satisfaction in the end Tony, and I am glad that it has earned Poem of the Week. Its fab! Anna.

I haven't seen the film behind the inspiration for this poem, but the stanzas contain vivid imagery and I love the feel of the underlying explosive tension. Poem of the Week for sure! Anna.

Thank you for your positive comments Colin and for taking the time to read it all the way through! I was a bit concerned that it may have been a bit too epic in proportions to lure any readers but I am very glad to know that you enjoyed it. Hopefully Hamford Water will be as inspirational to you as it was for Mr Ransome! Congratulations btw on your Poem of the Week last week too!

Good to see you here Tony. You have been lifted up on the shoulders of unknown admirers. I can only repeat what I always say, that you have a wonderful style, and in this poem we see through the animated eye of the camera in its Orwellian role . Lots of heavy implications come with it. Thoroughly engrossing. I still treasure the football poem, and I don't even follow the game!

I think this is excellent, a fine perspective well written. I hadn't seen it before today. If you care to, you might read my posting of today, Sunday. I cannot believe the similarity of thought.

Welcome to WOL, Linton. I'll try to catch up with more of your work. I'm not on-site constantly. Hurrah for a first, brave step.

I hope a word of advice will be taken as sincerely as I offer it. Be careful not to flood the venue with too many poems at once. Sometimes it works, but not as often as it doesn't. This I have noted from experience.

Also, these September poems are now 'past tense' so to speak, off the main 'monthly' line. Some readers check back; some don't.

I had an uncle called 'Linton'. It's not a very common name, but a splendid one.

I liked this piece Lan. Most of all these two lines:
I find the sacred
Inside myself

That was the turning point in my opinion. That was rebirth in a way, allowing you to bear fruit again.
Beautiful.

Lovely that you're coming through with poems and commenting Hannah, appreciate it.

Thanks Tony, you read it right of course. Funny that line, sometimes a word just pops in and I took what I thought to be a chance using it, so i'm happy you like it.

Kim, that's so kind and complimentary cheers for that. It was balanced on the head of a mood.

David, this was done in a self pitying frame of mind. There was a really weighty silence next door , it felt like a body blow. Glad to say, on the same day, a lovely young couple moved in and all seems well ! If you can love spiders that's real progress. Cheers.

Col. I hate people that know too much and that guy must be one - but I do like your gentle title. The programme could start with the tune "In an English Country gaaarden"
"I'll show you mine if you show me yours" at the start of the line. I'll get my coat.

Love to all for making my day as always.

Comment is about Cynthia Buell Thomas (poet profile)

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

Very succinctly put in all its gory detail. The final two lines are an excellent punch line. You have highlighted clearly a disgusting 'trade in rentals'.

And, also, the personal habits of certain people. Many young persons treat their parents' home like a pigpen. And they are allowed to do so. How would you expect them to treat their 'first pad'? It boggles the mind.

Who should be held responsible for 'letting any living space' in this condition, especially the common area like the toilet, dripping ceilings in any area, etc. ? The good news must be that the room itself can be cleaned, and the fridge etc. with a lot of personal effort, yes, but still cleaned.

I often feel real sorry for landlords. Those who rent have responsibilities too. And many don't give a shit about how they treat a rented place. 'Who cares? It's not mine!'

Harry, you should put the last paragraph of your Bio into a poetry form, and post it separately. It is really delightful.

I have always enjoyed the scope of your interest in subject matter and writing form. You are inspirational.

Harry, make a quick check for a couple of typo's in the final stanza. You were probably dashing the deadline:

'blessed' - such a beautiful word. They are all 'beautiful words' in this poem.

and

'its knee' without an apostrophe, just because it is a page poem and you're a great writer with a fine reputation.

Thanks to Nigel and Desmond for liking. Thanks also to David, Colin and Wardah for your comments.
I agree with you Colin about the term gastro pub. I think I used it because I simply don't like. Oh for the days of a simple meal that's just about taste and not just about the way its presented.
Thanks for your comments David. I felt I had to be honest about where I am at as I could be construed as being a bit of a hypocrite in some parts of my life some things sit more comfortably than others. Which is probably true for all of us.
enough of my ramblings
Thanks once again to one and all for reading its nice to be appreciated for what I put out there.
Cheers chaps
