Hi, John! I am very sorry but.... can't post a Ukrainian poem here. The first reason: you won't understand me. The second reason: What's the use of it? But... any way, if you want it...I'll try. Tomorrow. OK?

Thankyou for your thoughts on language you posted on my Profile page.
An idea - why don't you post one of your own poems in Ukrainian with an audio so we can hear the music of your language?

One hell of a lot condensed into these few words, puts the knife in.
(and next time I stop at the side of the road and throw a roadkill deer into the truck I will be thinking of Akram and the world we have given him to live in)

Thanks for comment on the Stan Petrowski. Nope not me playing, tweaked an old recording I made with local hillbillies playing ( used to be a Christmas tradition down in the cowshed) George lost 2 fingers since but still plays a fair squeezebox

Thanks, Steve. It's not so much that WOL's bar needs raising, but there needs to be fewer players on the pitch. Nothing ever gets its proper dues.

Hi Win
6:30
Nice of you to take the time to comment. Maybe 6:30 was a private consultation? But how private or personal?
I hope all is well at your end, although Hebden seems very up and down. Hopefully our paths will cross in the not-too-distant.

suggesting that you need a means to communicate with something other than self.we all do.lifes about dialogue, its discourse. ive always found monologue writing tedious, although what is poetry if not a soliloqy? and why is it fun to comment on all your little musings? they are inviting in the manner of any other of the aloof its always a challenge to proove the independant wrong. i dont believe in it. we are not machines...

Hi MC
As ever ...

If I'd wanted a 'comment' that understood what I was trying to get across, I couldn't have wanted anything better than yours.
It was originally written for a very specific (personal)reason, but I then realised that with a bit of editing, it covered all the bases you mentioned.

never a rebut..i can argue with myself about a lot of things with strong evidences. i like the first half of sentence. i am sick of advice. about anything. im alright as i am, the things i want or need are primitive. cant argue with that.

Well now...how's this for a change in direction? A neat and deadly "cameo" of
the sadness and horror of a conflict that has
rumbled on for generations. The last line is
a killer...so to speak!

J.C. - you are, as always, encouraging in your
comments, for which, many thanks! I wish you
all the best with your own contribution to the hymn/carol genre. It is profoundly satisfying
to do something like this - I'm sure you will agree. The uploaded audio is a simple version
and I would like to have a soloist sing the
first verse; soloist and choir sing the second; and a congregation joining in to blast out the third (in italics) - and so on through
the piece to its conclusion. That would be my
ideal arrangement.

Well done Laura, been great seeing your rise to Stardom! Nice review too, sounds like a great night and Dominic did fine job! Couldn't come as I had my last regular Guitar n Verse, not great timing but I've always done first thurs of month (new plans for 2012)!
Anyway, well done on getting in the book (and everyone else, some great writers a lot of who I know of course), I did enter, was unsuccessful but will no doubt have a bat next time, all the best see ya soon Jeff X

Hello, John!
Thank you very much for the comment on "Glamour" Actually I don't speak here about people's pronunciation but about the etymology of some words. I remember quite well the words of professor Higgins in "My Fair Lady": The French they don't care what they do actually as long as they pronounce it properly; the Scots and the Irish leave you close to tears; there even are places where English completely disappears. In America they haven't used it for years. And...the main words: This is what the British population calls an elementary education. So, it's the question of education. I've heard many Americans, Australians and so on and understood that all depends on your culture, intelligence and education. You could be from not English speaking country but your English would be so good that no one ever guess where you've come from.
As to Ukrainian it is very soft language. As Italian it sounds like music. The sounds of proper English I love so much.

Hello Larisa,
It's very interesting to hear how a Ukrainian hears the Scottish dialect. In some parts of Scotland the way they speak is almost unintelligible to an English person.
I once heard it said that English sounds like a glass of milk. French sounds like chocolate. German like a crunchy walnut. American English like bubblegum.
What would you say Ukrainian (or English) sounds like?

Top bombing again, MC.
Pitched just right to make it "accessible" as a carol. But simple and faithful internal rhymes. (You're just showing off now, aren't you?).
I've just co-written a school hymn for our local which gets its world premiere in a day or two. The quality is provided by the composer not the lyricist!
Race you to the Christmas No 1.

Hi again, yes it comes accross that it was written so. but there is a strength to its simplicity. I might be tempted to rearange the lines slightly like this...
Sat broken,
smashed by my own lusts.
Yet I find you still here,
picking up the pieces.
Again I've done you wrong.
But again I find you
putting me back together,
making me whole.
How can I deserve this,
after what I've done.
I don’t deserve this,
and yet, still, I find you here.
4 lots of 4 but the words remain the same, just an idea. keep blogging.
Win

I like this Kealan - it is not often you get to read science fiction type poetry - but then I guess you are really making a social comment. Yes, I can imagine the colonisation going something along those lines too.

Hi Laura,
Brilliant review of what sounds like a really enjoyable evening! Well done to everyone as well!! I totally agree with you regarding the need to buy poetry by small publishers. We want everyone to read ours,don't we?,so we should do the same.(I've recently started building up a collection of poetry books myself,and will get "Best of" asap!)

Hi Isobel

You're right pretty much. The poem is the outcome of a specific buzz that was going round and round in my head that had caused a broken night's sleep.
Snow permitting, I'll see you on Thursday
