Comment is about Hourglass (blog)

This is very poetic Kathryn.
I love your choice of words and how they make such an impact...
The title 'Hourglass' and the reference to time...

These words are profound:
'the emptiness echoes the sorrow
while the outside tells it's lies'

The last line is shocking, yet it conveys awareness and a sense of healing...
'She was me and her life was mine.'

Fantastic Peter!
I wish you had done an audio on this one.

I love these lines...

'I SAW HIS LAUGH PAINT ON YOUR SMILE
AND YOU LEFT ME COLD AND TWISTED'

'I SUNG A SONG
I LEARNED FROM YOU
BUT THE NOTES BROUGHT PAIN
LIKE MISSING YOU
SO I DOWNED ANOTHER
AND LIVED A HAZY HOUR'

You are writing some very different ones lately Mike!

I really like this one...

enjoyed this, dave.. the use off 'recalculating' is a nice touch certainly, but i must admit i would have being tempted to at least try to see what it is like minus it.. even why, i loved the diary like entries and the way you scattered them all over the piece... i did a piece like that in my blog last year called 'ditched it' where i did it month by month, but yours is very different for the way it jumps all round the place.. good one m8

a lovely girl I was seeing many years ago, when asked what really turned her on, asked me to tie her up & rape her - but I had to do it like I really meant it - she wasn't going to submit. I thought, well, OK, whatever turns you on, but I'm not at all sure this is going to do anything for me. I was wrong - it was one of the best things ever - for both of us judging by her reactions both during & after. - just my 3 cents worth. B

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed reading your poems too, particularly the one about Chruchhill, I really liked the rhythm. I have just uploaded another poem and an audio clip if you want to check them out.

Re Your comments on the audio on 'On Seeing A Boy's Face'Glad you liked it Ann. I have used it before (as has garside if I remember rightly) It is derived form an onlne piece of software that converts text to speach. You may need to spell words differently to get the voice to pronounce the words as you want them however and alter gaps and pauses etc. I used it here because I felt the faltering awkwardness and non human remoteness of this voice reflected the difficult subject I was writting about. It is a voice without empathy or opinion. Win

Absolutely love the image and relationship with the 'midnight wind' as a friend in your piece here Ant. Winston

Comment is about Midnight wind (blog)

Bit off a curio certainly.. It's not what you are writing nowadays certainly.. Reminds me of your stuff from a few years back, but certainly as Janet says it does have a eerie, almost surreal feel to it which is very different.. be interested in seeing how it develops..

Comment is about Midnight wind (blog)

Mike you poems are quite spooky, I heard Niburu was a rogue planet on a very Large Eliptical orbit, that close passes Earth every so many thousands of years and causes Chaos....an Extinction level event. The question is do they really walk among us?TC

Powerful and so full of reality in moments which seem like hours and can go on for years if left to rot and fester, all for the sake of asking the question if we dare.

I love the ending. Fabulous poem.

This is quite different to your usual style Antonionioni.
I like it.
Enjoyed the rhythmic quality and the whish and whoosh rustle and swoop which gave it an eerie feel.

Blimey Star...I'll let the Freudians pour over that response. Any poet who tries to get 'phlegmatic' shoe-horned into a poem is OK by me. It didn't work...but was a valliant effort.

Stef is right, it's brilliant but hard to understand, and the subject materials Astral plane and talking in tongues, mediumship is not main stream either. But a great poem, they would have burnt you at the stake for writing it in times gone by ;-)

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

Thanks so much for your recent comments Cynthia. The title Fable came to mind because the poem made me think of an ancient copy of Aesop's Fables that someone gave me when I was a child. All the stories seemed to be about animals, the illustrations were lovely, and when I saw the dove and the fox in my mind, I thought of that book.

The poem is gripping in its imagery, and for me, dreadful in its context, especially introducing 'shame'. Made me think of concubines throughout the ages, and obviously still existing: dominion and submission is a very popular sex ploy still, hopefully as a mutual 'game'.

You are so good, a constant pleasure to follow in your output. 'his hot coat burning in the dark' is marvellous. 'full of feathers and fur' would be another twist entirely, yes?
Fables are usually non-equivocal - you are told exactly what happened - but the title still has power.

Hi again! Spring is def. on the way! I felt a bit low when I got stuck indoors when it was icy, also, I need to walk at least a couple of miles a day, cheers me up and makes me feel less fat! But (don't tell anyone or they'll have a laugh) I have invested in a slendertone belt - it seems to administer electric currents (otherwise known as shocks!) and makes you all thin and wonderful (?) Anyway, it is a very peculiar feeling! On the instructions it tells you not to put it round your neck, round your head, or on your genitals! ( A bit of a tempatation, that one!) I'm sure there is a poem in there somewhere! lots of love from a very svelt Anniepoo xxx
