Hi Yvonne. Thank you for your comments on my sister Sandra's poem "It is Time."
She put a lot of herself into this poem. I will pass your comments onto her.

From memory I'd say around October. Julian organises the poetry side of it. It's a lovely place and a lovely festival whatever the weather. There will probably be some publicity up closer to.

You'll have to try to make it to the Marsden jazz festival - we always go there together and there is a lovely poetry open mic on the Sunday in a pub x

Bonjour YB.
Apologies for my delay in responding to your comments on Research and In The Grotto. I have been on holiwags for 4 weeks caravanning and internet opportunities were very limited.
Research was an old post which seemed timely to give aother airing. I've put my flagpole down now,though.
In the Grotto is completely autbiographical.

Thanks for your kind words and advice, Yvonne, they are most welcome. I have updated "the spider" a little, would be interested in your opinion. "Greenwood" comes from the heart. I love the natural world around us. Shame it's taken for granted. 8-)

Many thanks, Yvonne for your thoughts on my bloater. It was, of course, available for inspection outside the Barnsley Empire in my alter persona as Mr Gabardine Man.
I also thank you for the suggestion that I copyright the form, athough rather than Shaiku, I shall call it a Haikupi in honour of my great uncle Hirohito Kupi.

@Harry: I like to play with words, I bend them, I twist them, I play with them as a child would play with a fly in a glass jar - pulling off a wing or two.
PURPOSE is used ironically and is meant as a consequence of the existence of the thing itself (there is no purpose)
KINK is the emergence of humanity, that as of yet is a solitary event. This event is the 'kink' in the time-line.
I agree with you on BILLION TRILLION as awkward, I thought so even as I wrote it, but used it to remind me of the need for a replacement.

@Graham: Thanks- I think therefore I thank.

@Yvonne: Thanks, but I'm not complaining. :o)

Hi Yvonne. I think I have found the culprit to my poem "Mime Rhyme." I suggest you find this page using Google. Google Mime Rhyme, 35 short funny poems. This website will be newnfresh.com/fun_short_funny_poems.
Whoever made this page list 35 poems but not the authors. My poem is number 13 on the list.
To quote this page. "You can share these poems with kids, family members, colleagues and make them laugh."
So besides me their are at least 34 other people whose poems are at risk. To be honest I am a little flattered that some people like my poem. But I would never copy a poem and make it seem like my own creation.
Thanks for letting me rant.

I didn't know you were Mancunienne; I thought you were a Doncastrienne.
Incidentally, I was in Donny today. What I don't understand is why is it whenever I go in they let all the prisoners out for the day?

Hello Yvonne,
Glad you liked "Together". We recorded it in school on Wednesday (its world premiere!) and I posted it the same day (I think).
We (that's Richard and myself) wanted something simple musically and lyrically for the kids; also, something Christian in tone(together/caring for others/strong helping weak etc) but not "god-y".
Anyway, the kids seem to like it.

Hi Yvonne, just a quick message to say thank you so much for taking all that time and effort to go back through virtually all my work and comment on it.
As your emails kept coming in I went back and read them myself after a gap of a couple of years and its amazing how much of my life is recorded one way or another in those poems!
Some of your comments amused me, some of them I found touching, but in all of them I felt genuine warmth and feeling of "kindred spirits"
My family has just arrived so Ive not time now, but I will return the complement and look at your work later. Best wishes.
Cate xx

Thank you for your help and advice on my stolen poem. I was able to prove that the poem is mine. The website took it down. I have even written a haiku "Stolen Poem" about my experience.
I would not have had a problem with my poem being posted on this website if I had been given proper credit.

Thank you again for your help.

Hi Yvonne,

Thx for reading and commenting upon my latest poem- very much appreciated.

I think what you said was very pertinent and on the mark. I've left a very loooong and waffling comment upon the poem.

Far from concise but it might give people an idea where I'm comming from.

My Best

Chris

Thank you so much for your welcome and lovely words about my poem

I really like Bins, it evoked for me an intensly emotional allegory of humanity's selfishness and blindness to the suffering surrounding us everywhere. The starving ignored by the world, our heartless treatment and use of the little people who have no say in their lives and their use, and the ultimate selfishness of war.

The rhythm of your poem is brilliant; rushing along from the beginning in their busy "lives" then slamming to a sharp stop with the last lines and the sharp contrast between their life giving function and war, with the possibility of destroying us all.
Wonderful

Yvonne: Thanks for your comment on my quintet. The reality is we've learned too well how to hold on to status quo and not well enough how to move forward to include other value systems that respect all human stories. William Faulkner said it this way, "The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past."
