Thanks to Alex for pulling this together. Pleased I could offer something useful.

Please buy from Lulu rather than Amazon, to avoid the tax-avoiders.

Original item by Rachel Bond

Hi Stuart. Interesting piece, this. Might I proffer a suggestion? Have an eye to your use of punctuation; putting commas at the end of each line makes for tough reading - it breaks up the flow of the poem.

Wow - I'm impressed - at your control as a poet and in your imagination.

I'd agree with Graham's words - highly sensuous!

Ian,
The picture and the poem together powerful.

The poem would also stand on its own with a suitable sub-title.

(Often I feel that a picture `overpowers` the poem
but this would `work` with any apt picture)

Marianne,
This one is a sly lie.

Comment is about The Blahs (blog)

Original item by Marianne Daniels

I like this, Gus. From a 'poetry view', I would carve out some adjectives that don't add much and detract a lot from the movement of words and rhythm, burdening the ideas that could surge freely forward into our minds. The repetition is skillful and effective.

Comment is about Dark Night (blog)

Original item by Gus Jonsson

Do you drink some kind of magic 'poetry potion'? Perhaps you have tiny, writhing glass flasks lined up in a dark cupboard, red, yellow, blue, green, and purple liquids, gleaming into your eyes when your creak open the door, scanning the rainbow bottles, frowning, to take your choice.

I really like that fantasy. Your breadth of ideas amazes me.

That's wonderful news Mark. Being able to express your feelings in poetry is what it's all about for me. To then have those feelings go directly to the people who inspired your words, is the most rewarding of all.

I've just been told that the piece has been shown to Doreen Lawrence and that the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust will feature it on their website. Some opinions are more important than Mr Newberry to me! Thanks again to all who made positive and supportive comments.

Comment is about Unto the Somme (blog)

Original item by Simon Austin

Fascism lurks in the brightest corners; perhaps the 'person' who threw the bomb hides behind a facade of respectability. Well thank all the gods they can't bomb ideas! It's good to know that Freedom still exists [in every sense of the word]. We are entering dark times, very dark times indeed and a single candle is all it takes to shine a light for the righteous. Property isn't the only theft: stealing our right to free and fair knowledge is perhaps even more invidious. Rage on!

thanks for your insightful comments on 'drunk' John. The music was an attempt at a carousel (spinning) and a music box playing a lullaby (sleep) so you were pretty much spot on.

Also loving 'I have a bream' - reminded me of what i used to shout when i got home from school - "Mam, Im here"
