Your work continues to keep us guessing and I wonder whether this is the real you or someone who speaks through the work itself.

Readers on WOL often make the wrong assumption on autobiographical writing, so I won't be drawn.

well done,

Graham

Someone once said 'youth is wasted on the young'. How true dat! Love the sentiment expressed in this piece, well written young man.

its a good collection but it left me a bit cold in places i have to say, especially 'seance' which i remain clueless about. there's a fair bit of filler in there i think. just my opinion though.

I don't know why, but I am picturing an aging woman who has been ill, and you are trying to comfort her through her pain. I loved the imagery.

Nicely done.

The night has a lot of wonderful sounds too that would be drowned-out by daytime sounds, but that's another poem.

Comment is about Le Chien Noir (blog)

Original item by Pixievic

Tha's few that can affect
A line of dialect
So no wun would suspect
Its pedigree
But for sheer bluddy cheek
You have no need to seek
Much further that a sneak
At our JC...!
I took Harry's advice and read as I listened. Top stuff!

Comment is about ODE TO JOHN THE HAT (blog)

Original item by John Coopey

An essential truth, often overlooked - and pleasingly
evoked in these lines.
How many instances there be: occasionally but lovingly
misspelt or misquoted.
"Half a league, half a league, half a league onward..."
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea
and the sky..."
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
The list is etched in time and we are all sure to have our
own favourites.

Comment is about THE MUSE (blog)

Original item by ray pool

i love this ray. the first two lines are so sweetly sung, and the structure is brilliant. then 'go hand in hand down a scented aisle in a marriage of sweet infusion' is just excellent. a really killer three lines to end the first verse. the tapering of the final verse sits well with its 'twisting' subject matter. excellent.

Thank you Ray...my intention was to try to make desolate and bleak as death is...thank you...

Comment is about Death (blog)

Original item by Patrick Rushe

Is it?
Sometimes we reflect certain ideas we may not reach a consensus on with others. In poetry we are not supposed to buy the idea.But appreciate it if we must we have to do so.
The point is conveying a message in an interesting or creative manner.Poetry is all about bringing something new or giving something already there a fresh touch!

Any ways I have got positive response for this poetry on www.poetfreak.com ,www.hellopoetry.com and www.allpoetry.com
Thank you for the positive feedback.

A nice desolate feel, and in short disconsolate lines. This has hit a spot for me. It has a bleakness that feels right.

Thanks for appreciating The Death of Sweets, Patrick. Just a minor rant but I avoid those artificial tastes that are concocted in some tainted laboratory !!

I love the idea of marrying taste to a form of value and that tastes change as we get older (and wiser), much like tastebuds throughout maturation and beyond. Nice concept Corr.

Corr,
I'm still reading through your work on here, but I must comment about this piece while the thought is fresh.
This made me feel like I do when on the edge of sleep; when thoughts disassemble and mingle together in no particular order, but still seem to make some sense.
Your cave is your writing room (I saw the spoiler!), mine is the unlocked headspace.
Keep it going and I will keep reading!

I was expecting you
to head-but him
then knee him in the groin,
I'm glad you didn't though.
