Jealousy, an awful emotion which noone wants to admit, you've caught the turmoil of thoughts and feelings perfectly. A younger, less rounded me has spent many a night looking at a blank phone with nothing but worst case scenarios to keep me company, nicely done.

Hi myescape,
The first 5 are my early work, excluding Ink which was the first bit of writing I've done in the current years. It's also one which I'm happiest with, you should check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks for taking the time to read them!
Stu.

Ooh, gave me chills. I love the imagery, and after reading your bio, I feel like it might be a reflection of your youth growing up in the wonderful places where the world is green and blue.
Simply a beautiful poem and a wonderful vision of a natural world.

Wow, what a great vignette poem. The imagery, the attribution, the conclusion all draw me in and show me something, rather than telling it to me. I love it!

Although the theme of the poem is very good, I feel jarred by the forced rhymes.
I like the second stanza most, the true feelings and passion of the moment can be felt. It just feels unfinished with the word disguised. Since it is an adjective, it begs for a concluding noun to complete the object of the preposition.
I'm not sure what paid jellos are. Is that a British thing? Likewise with circle plus. Since I don't know what these two things are, I can attribute them to British parlance, but in reality, I have a niggling feeling that they are just forced rhymes.
If you retool this a bit more, I think you've got a winner. ?

Nice one Stu. I am often struck by the sheer immensity of the dichotomy between all that is harsh cruel and ugly on the one hand and all that is beautiful and sublime on the other.

This is good news. I love the YSP and visit as often as I can. I thoroughly recommend it as a place to view good art in beautiful surroundings. A really relaxing space with an inspirational for writing or just taking in the magnificent vibe of the place. I look forward to Simon Armitage's collection from being poet in residence.

I can't do better than echo David's words entirely Stu. This has the detail and vividness of a renaissance painting with some horror and glory in the swirl.

Hi Steve , thanks so much for going forward on the technical issue for me. I do take the point about the certificate thing being on my computer. It is a random thing, and seems to home in on WOL only by law of averages. I use the site more than any other; funnily enough it also happened on a youtube link from an email last night. Apparently it might an adware thing. I'll keep my eye on it and won't let it deter me !

elP: I take your points; I don't think the written word will wither completely but the incentive to print it may do in view of costs - so keep cherishing.
Colin. Thanks for the comment. I have a few 1st editions, all uner £20, but I agree with your assessment. How interesting about the refugees, Wales has a good reputation for culture generally. Glad you like it.
Raj: Very kind, don't we love'em! I remember when Charing X road bookshops all spilled out on the the pavements, great days.
David: I'm so glad you immediately got the double entendre idea and also no judgments ; you are the perfect reader! That's great for the South bank, nice and homely. Great place for germ warfare!
Stu: Thanks for picking that - a fortunate mind game popping its cork.
Thanks all Ray

I love it. The poem is very realistic about the human condition.
Raj, I actually belief that self doesn't necessarily know the truth but is always in search of truth. Self is not complete on it's own. It needs truth to free it from inferior complexes. As a Christian, I believe self needs Christ, the way, the truth and life, to really blossom and be as fruitful as can be.

Sorry, one more bit to add, if that's ok.
I believe that the 'self' is not the individual body or mind but that aspect within each of us
that knows the truth.
Am i making sense?

I like it Amberlee. Quite intense.

Thanks to all those who read at Write Out Loud Woking on Monday - that means you, David Andrew, Michael Cutchey, Amel Oudjida, Kitty Coles, Peter Taylor, Andy V Frost, Eddie Chauncy, and Ray Pool - plus comperes Rodney Wood and Greg Freeman, plus the four diners who asked to take their meal in the poetry section of the New Inn so that they could listen in. Another fine evening of warmth, community, and shining words.
