Larisa, I had a fortnight's holiday last month, and so only recently read back through a lot of June's posts. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed several of yours!
p.s. glad she's now taking a tennis racket on to court, and not a rocket! lol. Best Wishes, Lynn xx

Great moths. Good to see you in Hebden. Must catch up on the barge, linzo wants to see it too. That pub and that Bus was whacko and fun Win. Good poems form the Hebby team! Glad I made it, but driving back that beast across the moors was tricky! Dark and tiring. I ended up city watching in Preston and Blackburn, the odd Honda CRX race 'n' all!

You relate the feelings of longing and wonder well in this poem.
Fantastic line:
‘Could you think of me sometime
Maybe... while we're still alive’

Hi Jacqueline - maybe to the boy in the poem, whatever she smelled like would be the smell of sex to him, as it was his first time. I don't suppose with her 40 watt light bulb and dodgy gas fire she could afford Channell No 5 though - maybe there's a Superdrug version!

Ann, what to say, I am shocked, I listened aswell! What can I say, I am but shocked, you are so naughty, I giggled and giggled, but in a funny way it's quite good, it must be the way you tell them, I didn't like she smelled of sex, though, spoilt my picture, I thought she would smell of channel no.5!

You have to give Billy another chance. Try this linkhttp://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/singlePoet.do?poetId=6478He gets criticised for being too whimsical but there are plenty of serious poets writing serious poems

this poem has nowt to do with me. i was making point that itd be better if you would criticise poets directly or any poet could take offence. but like you i couldnt give flying fuck so we do have that in common at least. i have egotistical splendour a much more pleasant condition in which i so rudely believe that i may comment on this site wherver i like.grandeur may affect a man to think his work is above reproach or criticism...i say bring it on bitch you and all your kensington hard men...or you could explain your contraversially interesting poem instead

Love it ! and Original.
evokes the last line in
"Blue Velvet" where the robin sits on the windowsill - this vision harking back to Sandy's previous description from her dream that the world would be filled with robins & filled with love.

I wonder whether it isn't sometimes harder to pull if you are extrememly good looking - in that men think you may be out of their league or frightened to try their luck...I do think that a lot of them are put off by a strong woman also. Hard to tone it down, I know...So what is my advice? Take an ugly pill and behave like an adoring puppet - you'll be beating them off with a shitty shovel.

Hi Cynthia
It was good to meet you at last in Sale. I would agree with Isobel's comments, particularly liking the emphasis on humanity in the midst of chaos and violence.
It worked really well as a performance piece, we were all struck by it, early version or no. Yet at a casual glance I would have put it down as more of a page poem. Not being a poetic technician I can't say why that should be so.
