Liked this Greg, for some reason I seem to be reading lots of war poems at the moment. this would sit nicely amongst a collection of more gritty ones. It shows a different aspect of the war and is really cleaver at the end which leaves us with a what happened next feeling. Could there be three dots at the end to enphasise this? Win

Concentrate on poetry, not prose, that's my tip. It's taken me 40 years to learn that lesson!

Chris Co asked for an audio - his wish is my command! In a funny kind of way, this poem is my female/healing/lovegoddess version of the Easter story. Maybe if I'd posted it on Good Friday it might have been spotted. Or if I'd come up with a different title. xx

ah now thats a poem.clever and lovely.i used to be sort of scared of my brothers action men but i think it hilarious now as my friends son had 100s of them in his bath. they were like big unshaven spiders with wierd side glancing eyes...but not scary cos they were only sams and he was dead cute.Dolls I hate and was once tarred the problem child of the street cos i was caught tying a doll to a swing and beating her up...being a girl was not really for mex

Thank you so much for your comments. It was a great review. It was hard to write and harder to share but you used the word brave, and that's what I was trying to be. You really captured what went into the piece. Again, thanks so much.

Comment is about Marianne Daniels (poet profile)

Original item by Marianne Daniels

this is raw and brave and breathtaking. The fight/compassion is sometimes difficult to digest rationally which just emphasizes the pain/loss the protagnist feels and the determination/defiance it leads into (that was a a compliment by the way - bit stunned sorry).
I really like this - don't ever hold back!
Take care. x

Hi Ann. Only just found this and enjoyed it. No carpet fitter's story but the carpet cleaner came on Saturday and said it would be dry in an hour, and it was still damp next morning. "He Lied!" (to quote Kryten).
Sad about the pot. Pots have personality.

I love the double link as it were that is obvious in this. The mystery as to whether it's about you or indeed your daughter should remain a mystery in my opinion. :-)

I can relate to this very much as the little me in universal terms. Personal growth and learning how to express oneself and to love oneself and allow others to see the beauty of the soul within us.

I thing you are talking about yourself - the child's picture is JUST like you.

I'm not sure just how long you've been writing, but you have a worthy and obvious talent.

Comment is about my little me. (blog)

i agree with lisa here.. i wasn't sure also whether you were talking about yourself or your daughter... there is a lot off magic in this poem which i enjoyed hugely, but the confusion in whether it was you or your daughter did knock me out a bit.. perhaps a slight change off title could help here, but keep em coming! x

I admire how easily rhyme comes to you. I write about as far away from that as you can get!

I love what this piece says. You've captured the quandary of many a poet...but with the skill and artistry of one.

Really nice write.

I can't tell if you're writing about yourself as "my little me" or a special little girl in your life. But in either case, it is poigniant. If it it a little girl in your life, you've captured so well how reticent she is in the protection of herself. And how you can see the beauty, maturity and mischief she has within that you love so.

If it is about you, it is even more powerful in how you have recognized these things in yourself, and end with how you love yourself. In either case, it is intriguing to the reader. Love it.

Fear and excitement of the unknown, pure and simple. I don't think men have anything to do with it at all. It's general in the sense of safety in comfort versus venturing into a different world. Temptation of a different kind. Does she dare?
