ah! Stella has just given me
a shhhmashin idea!

you know the song
#putting on the agony putting on the style?
(by long gone Donnie Lonegan)

well I would like you and your bun-buyers
to sing these words to that tune.

a one,a two-a one two three....

#your kindness is a rarity
an uncommon thing these days
and may it be returned to you
in many many ways..

#my words can only say so much
I wish they could say more
but they are yours forever
of that you can be sure.....bom bom!

happy lie in,s
Benji permitting!

love from the greysters.xxxx

Oh ... OH!...hmmmm firstly I really enjoyed the rhyme nice one..but why oh why does this not speak to me of dogs?..Is it my bad mind or it is that I remembered a poem where the fourteen year old lad talked of the puppy in his pocket (and the girls had kittens in their jumpers?)

Thoroughly enjoyed! :)

Hi Lynn, I have no idea why, yet your poems seem to fill me with something, I can't describe that something except that it feels wonderful, especially Autumn Dawn, it made me feel at peace with the world and more relaxed and calm,just what I needed :) Please keep writing as I crave for more from you :)

Hi Shirley, thank you for your comments on No More, much appreciated. Just been reading some of yours too, have to say I really enjoyed Wild Wolf and Who is this Woman in the Mirror? I can certainly relate to that one! x

I love the tale and you've told it well.Where it fails is in some of the "rhymes" you've employed - sniffling and grinding can't be said to rhyme just because they end in -ing! But I expect you know that.

You don't sound too retiring to me! :-)
But if you are serious then you only need to adapt to enjoy yourself. There are those who
work to live and those who live to work. Leave
them both behind if you can - and just LIVE!

Evocative and involving...and a reminder that coming 1st means little without others to join the struggle - even in matters as ephemeral as "diligence".

NO!! You don't talk crap at all. I thought it was lovely about the prism.

No that's often the case and I find that a good thing about poetry, that it isn't always straight forwardly obvious what it's about so yes I think you're right. It's my own saying - let the words speak for themselves...and whatever the reader gets is perhaps fine and dandy and why worry about anything more? Thanks for the double comments! XXX

Good poem. I understand how you feel. It's been a few years since I worked but still the feelings are there.

Hi Noetic, thanks for taking me through the labyrinth of your mind. I never dabbled myself but that last line seems to personify the experience of many that do.

Am still looking out for that book you recomended which was quite well written up on Google. I enjoyed your work.

This is neat Lynn - I'm appalled, getting up at 20 past 5, haven't done that in a long while. About to retire eh? Hope you will be very happy with it. Really liked the way you tackled this.

I loved the line Ray pointed out 'my toe within your heel'.

It is really refreshing sometimes to read a poem where you don't have to grapple with it to get the meaning. Where the poet just tells it like it is and the feelings whoosh over you.

This works too well. You caught me with it. Essential, apart from liines 13 and 14 as they are redundant to the overall sense. You are a poet.

Hi Val
I enjoyed going along for the ride. If I had any hair left, I'd be having to have straightened out now.
But is it all really about the leather?

Intrigued by the title of this, which I read as a pun, rather than a particular reference to Loftus Road, home of QPR FC. But I could be wrong. And then there's your identity logo ... I'm not a great queuer myself, I will admit.

Comment is about It's The Way (blog)

Thanks for your comment. How lovely that you can say that! I know what you mean but it's still good to find others feeling that way too - liking a poem even without knowing what the heck it's all about! But anyway, here goes:
it's meant to be about kids in care and their experience - being let down by neglectful parents, having, as typically they do, special needs in spite of often being very bright, and the reactions of the media in too often condeming them - forgetting that they are children basically, but that they live outside of what we hope is a normal experience, that of a loving, caring family and friends.
