Id still fancy you if your name was Mia

And you had a passion for cheese

Were bright blonde and beautiful....

God I've gotta go and have a lie down
Wonderful piece Mia
Superb!

I liked the sharp natural observation in this, Ann, such as:
"The valley is narrow and deep.
Here and there a new stream joins,
stained red with iron"
It's well crafted. "Heavy with green" is ambivalent about it all. The downbeat tone reminds me of the song, Spring Can Really Hang you Up the Most.

Hi A - thanks for the welcome. I've been attempting to revise while at the same time writing insignificant essays - and WOL is more than an distraction if you don't completely divorce yourself from it. However, you can't 'fight the fight' standing on the academic terraces - you need to be in there - up to your scrotum in the mud of goal mouth incident. Blowing so hard that the pea in your whistle shoots a player right between the eyes - as it were.

Hi Anthony, thanks for nice comments on Heavy with Green. I wrote it about three weeks ago, and had a Larkiny feeling in my head, more April is the cruellest month I think. Didn't remember this poem that you gave me the link to until last Sunday when it was somewhere in the paper, as a neglected poem. I guess it's the time of year! Ann xx

Hi Kealan,

Neat idea this, that would merit expansion. Reminded me of Yoda speak in "The Empire Strikes Back."

Hi Dave,

I love it when someone takes an idea (or a line for that matter) and runs with it. Made me smile with humour and admiration. I reckon "The Man in Black" will be smiling too.

Original item by Dave Carr

Hi Dave,

"Who lives in a house like this?" - not you I hope. Isobel's right - usually the more perfect we make something the more fragile it is. Deftly expressed.

Two other thoughts come to mind - the staggering size and beauty of giant puffballs I saw in my teens. Apparently you can slice them and fry them just like bread (that didn't occur to me at the time - I wish it had.

The other was something I came across recently, and I'm not sure who said it, that "Sainsbury's was invented to keep the riff-raff out of Waitrose." Quite right too.

What? A northerner AND a snob?! Unlikely . . .

Regards,
A.E.

Frustration seems to pulse from this poem. I imagine the walls are magnolia...sounds like hell.
Chaos reigns in my house - wouldn't mind swapping for a while, minus the day time TV though, which I can't abide! Like the ending - it kind of sums up the superficiality of it all...

Hi - I dont know if the word "loose" was intentional, but it works in a quirky way - adds a different slant to the last verse.

Hello Ann
Just got your comment on my page about abandoning ship.
Please don't.
I haven't followed all the thread I commented on as I've had two problems. Firstly, I was in Scarborough on holiwags so I could only respond by mobile text and secondly, I've got worms computer virus kinds) so I haven't been able to log on when I got back home.
Anyway, I don't know all the thread, the heat etc. All I'd say is you seem a nice person and the site would be poorer without you.

Comment is about Glitter in an Afro (blog)

Original item by Mia Darlone

Hello Mia. Some wonderfully daft lines, e.g.
Your charisma melts away my guard
My priority is not just to make you hard
I want to embrace balls lovingly
Like Frankie Lampard. and
If you were a coat I’d wear you in summer
Morph myself into a guitar if you were a strummer
And happily have a sex change
If you were a bummer.
You could easily finish there, I think,the next 4 lines aren't so good but lots of nice stuff, on the whole.

Firstly, thank you for your comments on my poems. I enjoyed them very much and I really like the interaction this site provides, especially towards a new member like me.

This is my first exposure to your work and I almost done myself a mischief after the first verse! Mama Mia! After that you really get the sense of anti climax, disappointment and awkwardness. The final verse just tails off just as many of these encounters tend to.... or so I'm told.
