Hi Kristian, very much enjoyed reading some of your work.

I suspect there are umpteen survivors on WOL, of what you yourself have experienced treatment wise, and it is courageous of you hint at those experiences.

The increasing trend in this, adds, I am sure, an extra string to the pen of Blog.

Blessings.

A written poem
the heart may stir
its beauty in
a few kind words
A Poem is just
a thought transferred
the beauty is
that it occurred.

Welcome to WOL Kristian! Look forward to reading more of your words. Good start by the way! I think a lot of people on here will relate to your poems. ?

Thank you for your recent response to my comments, it was really kind and I doubt I deserve the praise but it was so nice to know that I haven't wrong-stepped too much here at WOL as I really value your writing and character and want to continue in our acquaintance that I'd like to hope will head towards friendship over time. ?

A hospital gown
it does appear
can expose a lot
and look quite queer
some will laugh
some brought to tears
gown turned around
shows front not rear!

Haha! The W is always there on my poems, but I'm signed in through the all-knowing Google which I'm registered to without the W, so when I comment it comes up with plain old Stephen Atkinson. Unlike the wonderfully poet-y sounding, er.. Stephen W...?And, that photo was taken a couple of years ago in a hotel room in Edinburgh!

Thanks for the comment Stephen W Atkinson
without a period after the W
what happened to it?
did someone steal your period?
and what is that in the window behind you
a soccer field
a cemetery?

Like a stained glass window your poem reflects so much deep thought into it.
Good luck with your poetry collection - - -

Aviva hi
(re "Planning her Escape")

The piece involves 3 individuals ( the window-cleaner) and there is an issue over finances. The violence preceded the visit of the window-cleaner.
Thank you

Is the above 'poetry posture' inspired by Oscar Wilde? It so reminds me of a favourite black and white photo of that man which I found in a magazine when I was a teenager. Same tilt of the head and sling of the hips. I still have it framed on a lounge table, years and years and years later. Just a question; the similar 'attitude' made me smile.

That's an impressive photo on this blog. I will try to catch up with more of your work. I haven't been much on line this past year. Do you know how to build guitars? I get the feeling that if you don't, you'll learn. It would be quite an achievement.

This is an amazing 'photo' on your site, basically without gender, despite the long lashes and the dress. Is photogtaphy an interest as another form of 'art'?

What's with 'lower case letters'? Am I missing something currently in vogue about poetical 'awareness'

Never had tattoos, ear-rings or (heaven forbid!) a pony-tail <never
fancied being considered as a "horse's arse"!> Besides, it didn't go with the uniform I wore when that word had more recognisable
meaning than now. ?

Yes, like tattoos and earrings
and long hair in pony tails.
The young get old yet cling to
their former ways.
the problem is the tattoos sag
the hair thins
and wrinkles replace what was.

Never heard of Miss Mary's walk, although I have walked to Hesleden via the cycle track.
And, like you, when I was a lad, any sign of a derelict building & I was in! At least we lived to tell the tale!

Jeans with holes
leave girls disposed
to show more leg
which men extol
at least that is
what I've been told
the more the leg
the merrier our souls.

If you want to show off
and make men want to troll
then wear those hot pants
with the raggedy holes,
the more woman's flesh
the more enticing to see
so show men some leg
and they'll hover like bees!
