Hello Ann, thanks for commenting on 'Darkness and Light' from my perspective it was an absolute joy to see the Kingfisher streaking its resplendent colours so vividly across the canal basin.

Your welcome.
Your Poem "Crying Out" inspired me to post my haiku poem, "Anger". I haven't posted it yet but hope to in 3-4 days.

I was part of a gig last night John and I performed one of your poems; it went down so well that they asked for an encore, I won’t tell you what the poem was but I said “I’m not doing it twice.” When you said you didn’t mind me doing your stuff, you also stated that if any pint pots where thrown the poem was not yours; on the other hand you instructed that if I was showered with money then the proceeds should go to the man who holds the copyright.
I was last on and finished at 11.pm. At the eleventh hour the throwing of
Pint pots or money had not been undertaken; instead they just threw Knickers and bras. The question is what do you want me to do with them, should l I keep them or send them of to you. Before you answer John I must point out that; that is the last
Stag Do I shall ever perform at.
Cheers mate. Tommy Mc.

When Attila the Hun died, apparently of a nose-bleed, the River Tisza was dammed so that they could bury his body in a coffin lined with gold, then sliver, then iron, in its river bed. The dam was then breached so the Tisza would permanently conceal his grave.
To make sure, the burial party was then killed.
(I want to go like that!).

..hello Ann...I knew it was confusing. It's about Jean Peters. I saw her in 'Pickup on South Street' on tele' a few weeks ago. I wrote it quickly last night while watching this tribute to her two or three times on 'youtube',

Such a poignant last verse, vivid to the senses that warning of a potentially lethal sting from a wasp in the trojan horse of a sweet smelling rose. I hate to see bees doing their rounds and suddenly attacked by a lurking spider.

You mean the poem is unfinished? It's not so bad as it is - the last line is a killer. Good luck with it.You might consider an alternative to "appreciate", summat like cherish.

Comment is about Headbands (blog)

Interesting poem, I enjoyed it.Lot of good bits, though I like the opening and closing verses - "momentary bliss" might be better for sonics.
I thought "with dirt from dirty fingers" was a bit naff. Likewise "rifle-fire that punctuates his stifling desire" But as I say, mostly good stuff, I think.

Comment is about Bible Pages (5/8/11) (blog)

I found this hard to read, almost like there are too many words, particularly 2nd and 3rd lines.
I'm not sure i think the title is quite right either.

I've said this 'cos it's what i think but don't have any suggestions for you lol :-)

Yay - I think we should all sneak on here now and again under false profile names - just to insult each other and be generally disagreeable. You have to admit - so long as you don't take it too seriously, it has livened things up and given us all a laugh!

I had it in my mind that Merps were larger marbles but I've checked it out and my elder sister says it was an old Wigan word for any type of marble. She spells it Mirps - but I'd go with my spelling LOL. We used to play with marbles a lot as I recall. A poor man's croquet/boules I guess!

Sorry Kenny, don't know what this is about. He must have pulled it himself, if you'll pardon the expression.
I would by the way, have every reason to pull his comments after the offline message he sent to me: " Jillian Love...". But I didn't.

Thanks guys. Friend Allen Forster is on this week, he'll be worth a listen, a very amusing chap. And it's possible from today to hear previous programmes in the series. Last week Vonnie Carter was on. She is an artist but also writes great stories and poems, often with a science fiction element. The week before the guest was Les Murton, a really good Cornish poet who publishes Poetry Cornwall magazine.
