Ta for your thoughts on Brown Study. It reminds me now of Jane Austen TV adaptations. Mr Darcy!

Hi Isobel - 'Chin-Chin' (Panda's Box) is on my profile page if you need it. I'm sure it's far too cerebral for the average drunken bum and my Latin isn't what it once was - Toodli Bye Byeum.

I'm with Gus - the last pic was very short-lived!

Thank you for visting "Neil" and your helpful and generous comments. I agree with all you say re the audio. I'm not too sure what I'm doing with it at the moment - a learning curve; so any comments/technical assistance are/is appreciated. I'll have a play around with it, but I'm pleased you saw what I had in mind. Sorry if I made you cry - it makes me cry too when I think about him.

Regards,A.E. x

p.s. You miscalculated - it's "LI" not "LII" - "LII" is sooo next year!

Hi Isobel,
Thanks for your comments on 'Play Me', glad you liked it.
I've never tried a didgeridoo ... I don't think I'd be able to blow one, I prefer something much smaller and with a little more sophistication to it - like my clarinet. I agree though that finishing on a diminuendo is lovely.

Hi Isobel, My RE is tres poor too, though i agree that King probably did get inspiration from the bible.
I had hoped to get away with Pandoras sex change - looks like i managed it ok lol x

Hi, Definately not blackpool!! It was actually inspired by Stephen King's Dark Tower series of novels. I wanted to try to stay away from the actual Pandoras box, yet keep the meaning? Hopefully i pulled it off!
Thanks for taking time to read and comment xx

Hi Isobel - thanks for the comments. "grasping at straws" - about the nuances of words/phrases & the different ways in which they can be employed. & - the ampersand works for me on the page only because sometimes to repeat the word AND becomes a little tedious to the eye, and like it says in my bio, I much prefer the written word, so it needs to look "right" on the page for me. Each to their own though and I can well understand what you mean. You always have something interesting to say! all the best. B

Hi Isobel, thanks for commenting on 'Dead End'. I haven't come across 'The Rapture' but a quick google gave me the jist - Climate change is an old interest of mine, I started a web magazine on the topic in '07. Best wishes, Dave

PS - I think the idea I was trying to communicate rather badly was that "I can't NOT write it" - because it's there (if you see what I mean). B

Comment is about Isobel (poet profile)

Original item by Isobel

Hi - thanks for the comments. I think I can honestly say that I generally (except P.Box) just write = ie not for myself or for anyone else - something sparks a beginning, then before I know it, it's finished (sometimes needs a little cropping or tidying-up).
I agree about the sex thing - it may seem a little surprising with some of the stuff I've posted, but some on WOL have made me squirm - I always try to write with honesty & integrity, but sometimes the subject matter doesn't always make for easy reading. I never write for effect or to shock, but I can see that it might come across like that sometimes - to me, there is no subject that I would not write about if the words/ideas were there. I can understand (see Dave Bradley's comment to me maybe) that some folks have boundaries that they would rather not cross, but for me, as long as it is done honestly, there's nothing taboo. Whether other folks "like" it or not is a different matter - and I'm not even sure that "like" is the right word anyway.
all the best. B

Hi - (the beautiful game) - thanks for you comments - I can do nicey nicey as well, but do you see how many comments it got? I've also noticed that rhyming poetry still gets far more interest than other types (mine + others). A lot of people do still like rhyme - I do as well, if it's good. all the best. B

Hi Isobel, P.Box-I've copied this to you just to make sure you see it. B
Hi - thanks to all for your comments & just to answer some in order:
if Chris thinks this was a dig at Isobel I can say 100% that it was not a dig at anyone - Isobel & I had had some good-natured banter, but as far as I can see, that was all. Same for Isobel herself & her brother TC (I didn't know BTW) - there was no "motivation" - it was just a poem which almost wrote itself, as many do. The catalyst for the poem was Gropecuntelane - a common street name right across the UK as frequented by prostitutes until most got renamed for "decency's sake". One remains in Southwark & one of the newspapers - Guardian, I think - had a picture of the nameplate still on the wall down some backstreet by a block of flats a while back & the name stuck in my mind - can't think why.
Nash - the mighty Nash - got it right -it's a love poem & it says so in the last 2 lines.
Just to reiterate - I've no axe to grind with anyone - dedicating a recent poem to Isobel was just for a laugh - nothing sinister - and I'd hoped it would be seen as such. TTFN. B.

Hi, Isobel! I am happy to know that my comic poem "I am on diet" made you laugh. If it was not for humour our life would be so boring.

Hi Isobel, glad you can relate to whats going on in this... liked your extra comparisons. The shaking bird was a reference to the vibrating. As for the title ;-P , It is supposed to be a winking face with its tongue sticking out but in some fonts that have serifs the tongue doesnt look great. Generally accepted as meaning 'naughty' but I thought the tongue went well with the 2nd line. I have just found ;-9 which is supposed to be 'licking lips' and may be better. Win

Hi Isobel. I presume you got to hear the audio remixing of your poem at the exhibition in Wigan. I did a similar thing with John at Leigh Turnpike, but I couldn't get to the exhibition (it was only on for one night). John did send me an audo loop, however, and that sounded good. I will try to listen to "Cramp9ng My Style" on the features section. I have hardly delved into the features so far, but then again, we do live in a world of too much information.

NOW THEN! It's LIVERpoetry! tonight (WED 12 MAY) at the Pilgim pub, Pilgrim Street, central Liverpool L1 9HB. Open-mic. You came to the launch event (at a different venue) and it would be good to see you again soon.

I followed your comments on the state of this site with interest. The people who run it appear to be most reluctant to give LIVERpoetry any publicity in the news section. Hey ho, the petty politics of the poetry scene!

Dearest Isobel

How lovely you are, how sweet and endearing to confess to being targeted by my Phartesque - ( A description for the high blown or windy tales of intrepid endeavour)

To mess with your mind and convince you that there was indeed a subliminal and subtle message would be demanding just a little from both your razor sharp repartee and feminine intuition.. No, I am overjoyed that you rollick and roll so as to speak to my good old ‘Toilet Humour’, toilet humour at its best no less what an accolade.

I thank you as always, lovely legs.

Hope to see you soon.
