hey jeff...loved Glastonbury poem. Ha what a shit like dive of foul cow turd pie..yuk. watching people get shitfaced and roll around in cow shit is not my idea of fun either. fuck glastonbury! parties in a cow field can be fun however but make sure you dont get crushed in a stampede or anger some big bull. portable ghetto blasters are a must for easy jumping over hedges ;)

Hi Jeff, thanks for the comments, I can see there is a lot of honesty in your writing too and I can hear the punk influence in your samples! I enjoyed 'cemetery gates' - lots of vivid images and plenty to reflect on. I was put in mind of a sign described on the radio recently in a cemetery 'placing flowers on the graves in no way benefits the dead'. I'm curious to know what they are lining up for in your poem? Is this a suggestion that there may be an afterlife?

Hi again
A bucket list? Maybe. But there are certain elements that I might look forward to more than the others.
I'll leave you to figure out which

Hi Jeff, hope you are rested after your Busjking for Beer tour. Shame the New Brighton leg couldn't, in the end, take place, but hey, that's rock'n'roll. It was good to see you at the Bards. Come again. Thanks for leaving your comment on my "He wasn't gay, but ..." poem / monologue.

Cheers Jeff, loved the feedback and intend to spice it up, have two versions, one of them may not go down too well with some people, have already been reprimanded for colourful language. Need I say more?

Thanks for the pointer on the 'typo' - missed that one- ha! you wouldn't believe that I can teach English, get flailed for mis-homophoning!x

Thanks for your comments on 'that' poem. It is one that I will never perform - but it served its purpose at the time. Thanks for organising the Busking for Beer - I really enjoyed all the venues I was able to get along to. I guess you will be relieved to relax now and start writing more. I'll look forward to reading it. See yous around. xx

Hey Jeff, thanks for that comment om Pearl Stitch, really appreciated. I have written what I hope is a performance piece, which I am going to blog this time ( next one I will keep under wraps until I get the chance to perform it.) Would love you to have a look and tell me what you think.

I fully intended going to your gig tonight at the stubbin' but I'm still in the Dales. I haven't found anywhere to stop in Heb yet. Am down next week for Uni, staying with a friend so maybe see you at WOL? I hope the gig goes well and am sorry I can't make it.Deb x

Thanks for your support with WOLOP Jeff. The only problem will be wading our way through the very many blogs to choose a winner. I think it should be a more democratic competition though. A lot depends on how many people bother.... Look forward to seeing you at Tudor on Saturday. Izz xx

hi jeff,

thanks for your feedback- i always like to hear what other poets have to say about my poems.
I like your style too it is a little like mine in that you like it to rthyme (is that how you spell it?) it is never deliberate.

I am afraid I do not have enough attention to detail to change wonder for wander- although I wish i had. Just bad spelling on my part I think.

I like your poem darker skies and the bit about just another baby to add to the list. It reminded me of this baby p business and how there are 30 kids a week dying at the hands of negelgent carers but they never make the press and no one knows about them. A tragedy.

Anyway on that happy note.

Hope to see you at the green room sometime. Cheers Emma

Hi Jeff - thanks for your comment - yes it went a lot better last night. Re Southport - have had a rethink - have cleared my head and probably will make it. My friend would really like to hear me read so don't give my spot away. How many am I allowed to do? Would kind of like to do 3 but will restrict it to one if you are short of time...

Thanks for your comment Jeff - but you must be pulling my let about the great performance at Wigan - this is the one where page 2 went missing and I went from intro to conclusion with no middle! It was a great night overall though - am looking forward to the Southport one.

Heya Jeff,

Often the state... is the title of a Bukowski poem that I can't find anywhere &...maybe I'm a bit too obsessed with wanting a nice kitchen...it comes from working in catering you see :p xx

Jeff,
enjoyed looked at the poems, esp Fighting On. I do part time work at an Arts Centre and since last year having been writing a poem for each gig I've attended; everything from thrash metal to jazz punk to Tibetan Monks. Best wishes for your Busking 4Beer.

So nice of you to include Wigan on your list of sleazy cities! Put me down for a slot on Friday - I'll perform you my new poem - haven't posted it yet - it's hot off the press cos I want to do sound this time. Look forward to seeing you there.
Also - put Cate down for 3 songs on the 25th - I knew she's be persuaded - she's a born performer.

Thanks for your comment Jeff. Yes - it is a bit of a performance piece - don't think it comes across at all well on paper - in fact I think I might stop posting performance poems - I will always love performing them though! See you on Thursday.

Merci Beaucoup Jeff pour ta remarque sur mon poème What Is Love?

J'aime aussi ton poème The Sea...
I especially like the last verse:

'The sea is a dream
for you and for me,
and visible from the stars
for the universe to see.'
