Hi Stu, thank for reading the monster poems! In fairness, you look quite young from your avatar, it was Swamp Thing, Godzilla then Dracula but you can have a sticker for trying.

Welcome to WOL, Vanna. And you must feel free to express yourself in making comments upon other person's works also. Sharing is a big deal on this site.
Feeling confident enough to accept advice/constructive criticism is a sure sign of a sincere writer. And you never have to take it, just consider it.

Poetry lifts the spirit when it enables us to see the ordinary
in an extraordinary way, or touches some inner core of
feeling that mundane words cannot reach, or expresses
something for those who lack the means or the moment
to make that leap of imagery and human emotion yet
know the joy of its existence.

Hi,
Got them all except the fifth. Not sure about that one, except maybe loch ness monster?
Otherwise I'm hoping its Frankenstein, Mummy, Werewolf, Creature from the Black Lagoon and the last is Dracula. I enjoyed this more than a thirty year old should i think!

Thought provoking Vanna!
Whilst I agree that we are, all of us, only an eggshell away from mental failure (to use HT's definition) it is the ability to continue to reason that keeps us balanced on the high wire.
PMA, self-esteem etc are all governed by the ability to reason. The better the reasoning, the calmer the ride.
We do however have to make time to reason, think, meditate etc.

Gaurav, I don't know whether this will interest you but you can perhaps translate this into English to obtain a wider audience.
If you cut and paste you poem into the Translation Wiki under the more title on the homepage, you could give it a try.

Add poem
submit your name

I have never done it but give it a try

I sometimes wonder if writing poetry is a bit like watching a football match or collecting stamps where the variations are endless - but ultimately the outcomes are much the same - a pointless waste of time to while away our earthly hours.

Further to my previous comment, I look forward to the
opportunity of submitting self-financed publications to
this planned poetry "shop window" and wait on the
information needed to follow up. I'm sure there others
with the same idea, beyond the usual poetry publishers.

Your right alot of people will never know what love is. And most people experience different types of love.
Past looks, intelligence, character and personalities lies a sense of pure emotion which you can connect to and be at peace. You have to be brave and open minded as this is totally a unselfish act which can only be achieved when two people have the same awareness.

Love the repetition in this one, it takes me to a place I go to sometimes where I am just done, and I don't want to push myself or feel pushed by anyone else to grow or change or challenge myself etc - not sure if that was the intended effect, but works for me xx

Cynthia,
I was sitting alone on a bench near a school only the other day when a class of infants in their little yellow outside jackets passed. Every one - without exception - hailed me with a cheery Hi ya! (much to the amusement of the teachers)..and me hi ya -ing back. Every one of them was a lovely little innocent `cheer you up`.
It wasn`t until I looked at my newspaper (with all this immigration waffle) that I recalled that five of the kids (out of a class of about thirty) were black. (and that I couldn`t really tell if there were any polish kids among them (we have two Polish shops). and I said to myself Blimey!...and this is Cheshire!
Thank God someone is doing an adequate reproducing job for us and helping to provide us with such heart - warming little scenes.

Hi Harry,
Thanks again for your comments on 'Belief'.
Perhaps some of the poems that I have blogged are a tad personal for the full meaning to be clear. Problem is I become quite attached to them :)
As for wishing me luck with performing - thank you! I love the forms and I feel comfortable writing them. Challenging but rewarding.
Helen :)

Just to add to previous comments Andy - for me, the poem didn't need the photo - I find it too much of an intimate distraction and the words themselves convey enough for me to formulate my own 'poem in a photograph'.
Hope you don't mind me saying this. All the best.

Thanks M.C.for your fulsome comments on 'can poetry lift the spirit', which expressed a very exact commendation on the art; it certainly would not do if everyone had the skill for then there would be no requirement for it I feel.
