Hi John
Mnay thanks for the compliment.
Feel free to give it a go. I won't tell anyone in York if you don't.
I suppose it is the type of poem that you could have written.
I'm very flattered for the time taken to leave your comment.
Steve

Nice one Steve - I wish I'd written it. (I might pretend I have if no-one's heard it at the next York Open Mic!)

Well you know what they say about us when the policemen and teachers seem to be getting younger don't you?

Very tongue twisting poem Steve.

I think it is time to reprogramme your satnav Dave - this poem screams frustration to me - sometimes it just feels good to be naughty without beating yourself up about it...A super poem that many may identify with.

In the development of characters, mood and story, it could be read as Scenes 1,2,3 and 4.
That was a good observation, Graham.

I need to read this a little more before commenting. There are some lovely words here, but I am finding it difficult to separate what looks like two pieces of work that have been spliced together. Was it your intention?

This needs more than one read, Phil. It is good, singing with some lovely images. In my opinion, I would section it, for a bit of eye and mind relief as we absorb your thoughts of past and present.

Hello Cynthia, thank you very much for your comments on January. I suppose it's all to do with the looking back and forward at the same time, the Janus thing, January often being the most miserable of months for many. thank you again. Graham

I would travel my spirit to
The waters - cradling your being
And the beating of your heart,
And following God’s guidance,
Hold you in my arms.'

This is absolutely beautiful Marianne!
So many wonderful feelings and images in this poem.

I love these lines:
'so to reach for a kiss, it has to make me whole.'

'I want to make you cry, standing as the breath on your neck watching a glacier,
tasting, maybe saying you shouldn't but not that you couldn't.'

This is fabulous Mike!
It does need to be read through slowly and several times
to to allow for the impact of such great thoughts!

Love the ending... very powerful:

'For at the centre of each soul
At the centre of all our very core,
At the end of each and every thing
And deed, and life-form,
Nothing could exist,
Without Universal Spirit cutting
Through the dangers of an
Un-eventful void.'

I love the scope of your imagination obviously fed by an incredible interest in everything, just as it should be. Thank goodness nothing is sacrosanct; nor should it be.

The picture is a hoot. Out of an opera book maybe, of an early 1900's performance?

I knew you were a philosopher Mike. Can remember one of your comments on Barrie Singletons from way back. You have indeed written an epic poem - one that needs several reads to fully grasp (for us mere mortals at any rate). Would love to hear it performed and to chat about it. Will maybe see you at venue some time - in the meantime, I shall re-read, trying to shut off the cacophony playing in the background...

Dear Valkyrie
Where did that come from?
Anyway, thanks for the amusing 'comment'.
A sign of my old age? But I really did see a small child (or maybe a midget) on patrol in the middle of Huddersfield, in the middle of this week. Well, that's what I think I saw.

I guess there are polar extremes to every proclivity. Very many women may like a strong, assertive man. Can't imagine that many want to go your ex girlfriend's extremes, though Banksy - although like Mike says, who knows just what goes on behind closed doors. I guess anything goes so long as you know your partner well and trust them. I would imagine this is very dangerous territory for both sexes othewise.
A controversial poem Mike - don't expect many comments on it LOL - last time I commented on this same theme, I had a lot of back lash!

Hi Mike

A remarkable poem, like a lot of the outstanding stuff you've produced recently. I think you would get more comments if you weren't so prolific, and some of us out here weren't so dozy. You've certainly responded to Isobel's suggestion to be more diverse, but maybe that was a challenge you were giving yourself anyway

You've probably answered this one before (sorry) but howcum Michael J Waite and Mike Robinson?

All the best

Mike, this is a wonderful poem. My grandchildren are liveing with me for a short time, and I treasure every moment with them, they are twins and 4 mo old.But holding them takes me back some 20 years and I think I marvel at it the more now. take care great poem.

Nice one marianne, i couldnt compete with poetry like this. Not that im here to compete, but writing poetry of this quality seems to elude me. We all have our own way of expression, yours is up with the best of them. A pleasure and a treasure to read.

stay well
