Hi Andy & thanks for the comments (the warrior) - good point - & I thought about this a lot; it would still work with "yours etc" simply omitted, but the message then IMO would be diluted - this is fully intended to be a sermon (for atheists, maybe).

Cynthia - the warrior - thanks for the comments - the word "liberal" was used in a generic context only & not meant to be political.

It's deep and yet fascinating in its wisdom? Not sure i got that quite right. Brilliant work nevertheless. Nice one chuck :-)

Great atmosphere here although I didn't like the fester and grey bit. The two seem at odds?

This got me thinking that it might be possible to corrupt many other nursery rhymes into modern day malaise pieces Ann. Great idea and well written down.

Hard hitting work Kathryn. you surely are a brave girl going here. I found it a somewhat macabre balance between a nursery rhyme and a horror movie clip. Well done for entering this world, I couldn't do it for sure. I've started reading all your stuff. It has a quality about it I like and the improvements are visible one by one.

Comment is about One more for the cellar. (blog)

Lovely idea and nicely written. Could do with another syllable in line one though. What about canvas is stained?

Original item by Steven Kenny

I found this a very difficult read. I guess art should be totally free but I think your talents are better show cased with different subject matter. This just makes me wince and want to run away.

Comment is about One more for the cellar. (blog)

I didn't see the original title. No matter.
I think the poem is great.
It's so difficult to produce a poem of this type of subject and get the balance right as far as rhyme and rhythm is concerned. You do it well Kathryn.

Hi Gus... Missed this one originally but thankfully you brought it to my attension with a menacing reading last night at the Howcroft which befitted the content of the piece. you have explored an idea here with your usual skill but the power behind your words and impact they have made, both here and last night struck harder with me than ever. Great, hard stuff Gus. Win x

This is beautiful Beulah, there are some memorable lines in it. Not sure where all the drink fits in unless its to say this is the imaginings of you under the influence? Being a romantic I would take out all the references to drink and just call it The Mermaids Song.... totally captivating!

Hi Beulah, thanks for your recent comment on Lets Hear It... its one I would def agree with! As for the nose cutting thing, its an old joke with bro n me, he once did it by accident when playing a joke on me and Ive never let him forget it. Couldnt let him revel in all that admiration for too long, not good for his constitution!!!!

Hang on tight Anne. The firsts of everything are the worst. It will get easier but as Angel says its a hell of a treck. The slamming of the ball will get gradually less punishing.

hello Cynthia, thanks for the comment on Death Comes To Fleetwood. I do see what you mean about it being confusing, I think when I wrote it I imagined it like an aerial view then swooping in to details if that makes any sense at all.
Thanks

Hello Greg,
thanks for reading and commenting on the poem. I really wasn't sure whether to post it but then did, then when it had been commented on I did think again about it being 'car crash' writing and thought about removing it, then thought it would look worse to remove it if you see what I mean.
I very much appreciate your comments, particularly about the structure of it, an unusual one for me and one that I think fights with the content. I had to impose structure on it to keep it from turning into an amorphous mess of emotion and I'm pleased you appreciated it....Thanks very much,
Rachel

Ooh Ann, I did! I have only a hazy recollection of the night (it was my birthday so I may have had a little glass or two) I got applauded and have had some nice feedback which was lovely. I have now caught up on my ironing so may frequent th'site a bit more ...till next week's ironing starts threatening to bury the children!I love the Ladybird poem by the wayCheersRachxxx
ps I read 2 new ones I wrote for Preston is My Paris (a local zine), they wanted contributions and I can't resist that, one of them, 'Brief Encounter' got published in it and they were launching the issue that night so I had to read my contributions, Next time I'll do stockings nude.....but for stockings(possibly!)

Hello Louise, cheers for the comment, I worry about how I come across performance wise cos I think I just stand there and read, but I do enjoy it. I do appreciate seeing proper performers like you. I just feel horribly nervous and concentrate on locking my knees so they don't send me off the stage like a pneumatic drill. Glad you liked Dad :)
Thanks

Really liked it, Ann. Delicately done, lovely metre - so structured it feels like it rhymes but doesn't (apart from the last). Also liked the juxtapo of the violence (as we would see it) of "blood and downpourings of feathers" with the foxes sweet dreams (as the fox would see it).
