I used to think I was my own worst enemy.But I wasn't sure. So I decided to view the matter scientifically,gather the facts, look at the evidence impartially. Turned out it was Cilla Black, she's my worst enemy.I'm only in 5th place.But does she really mean each stanza to be five words long, not five lines.

Ray Miller
Cilla
Black Killer.

What's it's all about Ray? Haven't you ever heard her sing Alfie? Forget blind date and those chicken legs - you have to admit that was a stonking song and her nasal voice was somehow right for it. That song even inspired me to write a poem - one of my very best!

I think this is a great idea. You should also blog it. I'm not totally sure that everyone reads features but they do blogs.

I find it hard not to explain my poetry cos it is important to me that my audience/readers understand. I could give it a go though.

Hi Kath;

Just the Mary Bell case itself - not a case I know tons about that's all, chick. Yours is the sort of piece that is I need to read up on a bit before I can really offer a comment...

I do like the piece from what little I know... The structure is very clever and disturbing..

Tommy - you're on the money with the comment in Stalingrad, the resourcefulness and desperation of the rape victim is supposed to be evoked in the close of this poem. I have not mentioned whether the soldiers perpetrating this particular crime to be of any nationality.

War does things to people that takes away humanity from some people yet strengthens the spirit of humanity in others.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your comment although i wasn't sure what you meant by 'agreeing' or not? What with in particular? My eye caught something about mary bell somewhere on the internet so i decided to have a look-see at her story,what i have written is just based on the basic points of the news reports. I am intrigued by murder and what makes people do these sorts of things, find it really interesting lol x

Hi Ann,

I had hoped the nursery rhyme type thing worked! Thanks for your comments. I kind of do believe in evil as an 'living' entity but i think it's a sketchy area, particularly in a child so young. Does make me want to know more though. Look forward to seeing yours soon x

not sure if i agree with this totally without looking into the case further, kath but the way you have structured as per what ann said is true...

some good stuff in here, Max.. particularly like 'Ephemeral ghosts that exist' but the use of language is simple but complex (if that makes sense) to me...

Comment is about Modern Love #1 - Texting (blog)

Original item by Max Wallis

Hi Kath. I think it's very clever the way you have written this so that it sounds like a chant that kids might sing in the playground, like ring a ring a roses. There's a good book written ages ago by Gitta Sereny about Mary Bell. I think, for me, unless you believe in real evil as an entity in this world, you can't demonise a 10 year old child (and I'm not suggesting that you are.) That's just my own opinion and I'm sure many would disagree. I do agree that murder is fascinating. I just wrote a poem about Jack the Ripper actually!

Hi Isobel;

I was too tired to go to W.O.L. Sale on Tuesday.. One of those days in work! I am gonna make a effort for W.O.L. Stockport next Monday however and if I stay sober on Friday after work maybe Poetry Pillow! What are you up 2? x

Comment is about Isobel (poet profile)

Original item by Isobel

I think poetry on the theme of eating our children, might open up a whole can of worms best left unopened LOL. However, I agree that it would be good to do this again - though I think monthly feature might be asking too much of people. Perhaps if we did it every couple of months, we might get a better response.
The cynic in me thinks that Pandora could never be topped - but I'm happy to give it a try - also to take suggestions on themes.
Something that lends itself to lots of interpretation ideally...

A big second to all these comments here! Isobel this has been great fun and Ive loved seeing how each poet has tackled this theme... each so different and each brilliant in its own way! Banksy I love humble pie myself...Ray ,like Isobel, Im willing to help resolve your question...Rachel Im not sure how we`d all deal with child canabalism but I` ll give it a try...Anthony nice to see you cringing before us all, but I agree we gotta do this again. I realise its a lot of work Isobel but its been so worthwhile I seriously think its worth continuing!
