It's you again!
just realised you'd also commented on 'Roadie'- written from the perspective of both being and relying upon in my time. Roadies are most certainly an interesting rock phenomenon - vastly undervalued and yet - so stupid! :-)

thanks for your kmind comments on 'children of the glamned' Daniel - apologies in my late reply - I was away on holiday when you added the comment and then came home to be hit with a bout of food poisoning - so only just starting to catch up.
Yes - I was a teenager in the glam rock era - so written very much from the heart. Had a look at your profile page and other poems - we seem to be coming from a very similar place with our writing don't you think? really enjoyed having a rummage through your stuff - you seem to be a very strong and prolific talent - good 'un mate

Daniel, your kind comments brought me to your work. Good to see another rhyming poet. I really like The Place Where Only Dead Men Sleep. I think you caught the mood and the atmosphere well. Like the contrast between the Corporal and the Sergeant. Am going on to read more of yur work. Glad you came out tot the closet.

By a strange coincidence one of my daughters has a few months left on a work placement in Bristol, so you never know I might well check it out! I've a vague idea of doing one of my jazz vignettes on Charlie Mingus. These little poems are like my version of finger exercises or practising my scales. They're quite fun to do and not too stressful. They are all approximately 70 syllables long, so you just need one insight or angle to do one. I did a similar set on cities I'd visited throughout my life and ended up with two dozen, then thought enough was enough!

Hi Daniel Thanks for the encouragement! I am not as active as I used to be on WOL and mainly use it if I want to post a poem and a picture on my FB page. I'll catch up with yours when I can give them proper attention. If you want to link up on FB search www.facebook.com/davidcookepoet. Although that sounds a bit precious I had to do it that way as 'David Cooke's' are two a penny on FB! |Glad to make the acquaintance of musical poetry fan!

Hi Daniel
Thanks for your comments on 'I want more',thats really encouraging. I really like 'The place where only dead men sleep' It has a real sense for me of what it must have been like. I can almost hear somebody singing 'it's a long way to tipperary'.
I can also relate to your comments in your profile about coming out as a wordsmith 'ready or not'
keep on keeping on.

LOVED the Place Where Only Dead Men Sleep. Excellent poem.

My paternal grandfather was at "Wipers" with the Manchester Regiment so I felt a connection with the poem straight away.

I particularly like the Corporal/Wipers, Sergeant Major/Ypres repetition.

Hello Daniel - thanks for your comments on "Bowden
Hill". As the song goes: "Ah yes...I remember it well." I have many happy memories of those
distant Wiltshire schooldays and I understand
that Bowden Hill is one of the recognised "hill
climbs" in today's competitive cycling world.
Having read your poem "The Place Where Only Dead Men sleep", I can appreciate your affinity with
"The Menin Gate".
Lest we forget!

Hi Daniel

Thanks for the kind comment.

After reading your splendidly well constructed excellently rhymed work, I sincerely return the compliment.

Are these pieces based on episodes of past experience? First World war work apart.
