I'm wondering whether there should be a walk instead of a talk in line 2?
I love the poem Katy - it's a bit Bridget Jones - I love the vulnerability - you capture it perfectly.

If I ever perform this it will be off paper - I only commit to memory things that I really love or feel proud of. Not that I'm ashamed of this - it's just a bit of fluff and musing - nothing more! But I'm glad we made a connection on the table groove - I'm sure you and me would both have a lot of shit that could fall down there ;) x

Thanks Francine and Laura - I don't know if I'll ever perform this one - it's a bit prosy - but I'm glad you appreciated the humour in it :)
As for the ending - I think I've been a bit over inspired by the 52 hertz theme - I always belly laugh at my own jokes too ;)) xx

Hi Sarah I liked "Before the Bike" a lot, its funny as what struck me is your damning of a bike which we think of as noble compared to the car for obvious reasons, yet your right in your poem that often so much is missed as we travel at any kind of speed beyond our two legs.
Nice
Regards Richard

and heard things not always said, it seems.
A poem held by the corner, an intriguing fragment of some larger work perhaps? As does Ann, I enjoy your facility with language.

A great review - one that had me reaching for my dictionary on a couple of occasions - but interesting and informative.
'intense solipsism' - I'm beginning to find this wearisome. I was going to do a couple of reviews myself recently but found I just didn't have the stomach to read or comment on whole books based around one person's life experiences. What poetic footprint are we leaving? A collection of individual life stories, I think... throw away poetry that you won't remember beyond this generation.

Dorinda I liked your two poems on signs
then I saw this and I thought of you - - -
I never wanted to believe that my Dad was stealing from his job as a road worker,
but when I got home all the signs were there!

Thank you - I do feel a little dig at the 'powers that be' needs to be made rather more often. They are getting away with using smoke screens daily... Best wishes, Dave.

When I first read this, I wasn't sure exactly who you were targeting
(ha ha - it's always someone or something) with your lovely sarcasm.
SO... I did some research (as I am not always up with the British news) and now that I get it - I find this to be quite appropriate and SO YOU :-)

Thanks for reading "RIB CAGE PRISON" Hope you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment. It was inspired by a comment made by a fellow poet, Ged Thompson on another poem of mine he described as a rib cage poem.
Cheers
