OK - I'll post a lovey-dovey dewy-eyed one just for you - if I can find one amongst all the filth, that is.

After all the fun of the fair, a woman really wants to be held. That is often where it all falls apart... Yeah - but still gaggin for it - right?

Thanks for your message, Isobel. It's true, working on a paper over the years has usually been absorbing and always kept me on my toes. But I rediscovered poetry a few years ago after not writing any since my teens, and am lured by the things it expresses that journalism can't. You may be surprised to know that I find time to monitor WOL fairly regularly, even at work! It keeps me thinking about poetry every day. (Sounds a bit like a laxative?) Greg

I very nearly fell for that - and I thought you were being sincere: Definitely a 'feel good' poem Banksy - you do have a heart. Will restrain myself from writing anything rude - I am capable of leaving bog standard comments, you know...
oh yeah? "bog standard"? - perv!

My latest is written in Iambic Pentameter too with some eleven syllable lines with weak endings. Not strictly rhyming. I'm not sure i got some of the line endings right or some of the Trochees and it might be out a bit on some of the punctuation. I really don't know and to be honest, i'm not even sure i care any more. It wears me down.

Hi Isobel, thanks for commenting on my Chinese New Year poem. I'll let you into a little secret... I was born in the year of the dog and have other animal instincts linked in. :-)
I doubt very much that ANY of my poetry will EVER be described as 'wonderful' meter etc.... but if that was the only reason for me writing anything, i probably would never write again. It's just not my genre...
but YOU have a gift and a wonderful talent for writing which is recognized by many on this site and so the comments are well deserved. Keep it up but most of all enjoy it.

Thanks for your suggestions for rhymes...most invigourating. I've just been railing (on another thread) against the tired pairings of words that tend to inhabit some poet's canons. I can see you've given it some serious thought!
: )
One day I really will get to grips with something really sensual...honest, I will, but every time I have tried so far it has always seemed just...I dunno...naff. I need to loosen up a bit. I tried writing some 'Agusta lite' the other day...and it just ended up sounding like...Augusta lite. Certainly wasn't a poem, by any of the measures that I employ anyway.
Might send you some one day...and see what you think.
Keep up the great work.

Naughty but nice Banksy. I bet the only gaps you find now are in your hairline or teeth... in fact looking at the evolution of the species, you might just struggle to fit a palm anywhere, let alone without touching. After reading you and Cynthia, I definitely feel inspired to write something risque... xx
Some women just do have that particular "gap" morphology.
Write away - we're all waiting to hear what women really want - we now know what cynthia wants ;)

Can't decide whether you are inspired by another poem on here or challenged by it...
If you are darker still, I'm guessing there's more to come. Best keep my eyes open!
No - I was just telling cynthia that I also had a poem by the same name in my list & I'd post it if it wasn't too pervy :)

What's it all about is a great introduction to your thinking - I'm inclined to respect all true religions as each are seeking a path that ought to benefit their communities. I remain a humanist myself though, so brotherly love is something I like to encourage in the interests of all. Best wishes, Dave

Re 'Martin'
The word 'eutectic' comes primarily from the realm of 'physical chemistry'...that was the first clue....but I wouldn't expect most folks to get that one...I took out a whole verse about how I had to bite the line through and consequently ended up rather close to his tearful face...which was how come I could taste his tears and his breath (he always smelled of sherbert...his gran ran the local sweetshop!). When I took out that verse it suddenly became just funny...rather than funny/sad/longing/...Ho Hum.
Back to the drawing board. Thanks (as ever)
:)

I'm glad you enjoyed 'Martin'. It may be my final piece for the OU course I've been doing. Nobody seems to have 'caught' the adolescent, homoerotic subtext. Is it that invisible?
The original draft was packed full of adjectives and explanation and then I whittled it away to the core...perhaps I did too much whittling? It's a true story. Seems I can only do true stories.

Hullo Isobel,
I totally agree about the rhyme thing. I am messing around with styles and stuff at the mo and I'm not really comfortable with rhyming. it feels like I'm trying too hard and having to leave out stuff I want to put in but just can't tesselate. Practice at the jigsaw table for me I think. Lol!
Thanks again for the comment...also I am pretty sure the first few lines just don't work rhythm wise ...I will mess some more with it at some point.
cheers

Hi - thanks for the kind comments.
- "I'm not at all sure that true love exists. I think it is just a dream that people chase" - I think this is really sad - I just sat here 20 mins thinking what else to say, but I'm stumped.
