Thankyou Zuzanna and Mel for your comments on my poem.

I wrote this poem because as humans we often punish ourselves, beat ourselves up about the most trivial of things, and we are only hurting ourselves and in the process I feel that this takes us further away from out true self, and we can become detached from others'.

Thank you again

Belinda x :))

Fence sitters are like itching powder.

Nice poem Daniel but shouldn't it be called synthesis, after all that's what a thesis and antithesis produce innit?

Apart from poets, I think I might choose a donkey and a couple of camels for company when I celebrate.

Might get a camel to put a red nose on!

Hi Honey, I hate myself for this as I'm always wittering on about the genius of young people but I was shocked to see your pic as I figured that poem was written by a much older man, please don't take that as an insult - I think it's cause the character in the poem seems so much older - I don't know I think maybe because of all the religous references in some ways I pictured Jesus talking to Mary Magdelain. I look forward to reading your other stuff - I just read this poem again and every time I find something new in there which is the mark of a good poet!
Good luck with it all.xxx

Simple Mal

Leave yr family, don't buy a tree, don't eat turkey, stay up all night, don't share your house with a donkey, avoid the path of dusky potentates (and the camel shit), and don't celebrate anything involving other people. A perfect recipe for mid-winter contentment. Most of it's worked for me (other than the other people bit)

Clarissa and Zuzanna - Once again you make me fill with hope .....Im really happy that you can take something from this important poem. I think it seems if you write when really upset it brings out fantastic work.

You are both writing such crafted pieces of work, I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Comment is about Patricias Pain (blog)

David, please let that feeling pass, you dont know what happiness and positivity you have brought. the poem draws influence only from the events of a sunday evening, hurt in context is understandable...and anyway people like yourself and poets here....have a love that draws tears from hardened men.

Comment is about Patricias Pain (blog)

Peter you are possibly the most compassionate person i have met, to write this is a supreme act of empathy, you make me feel ashamed.

Hello Richard

Your varieties in writing that give more broad spectrum and enjoyment to read. The poem will be very boring if there were only one style. The more styles the better. I see you being very gifted and it is good to have you here. Keep up the great work!
It is mutual pleasure to read your writes.
Welcome to W.O.L World!!...Zuzanna

Hello Malcolm

Your poem speaks volume. lots of interesting lines from your personal observation and love for animals and Nature. In this poem I found a lot of metaphoric expressions.

"A lone rabbit hops past. His white
Tail flashing its signal of good health.
The small, brown body slips
Down a small brown hole.
Yards later, from that other world,
His white teeth flash their
Message of good will."

EXCELLENT WRITE!

Thank you...Zuzanna

I enjoyed the use of the metaphors in your poem. Great write!! Anything that is written about books or poetry I do love.

Thank you for the great treat to read...Zuzanna

Hello Pete

You are excellent in your creativity and the use of vocabulary in this poem. I thought at first it reminds of a Shakespeare's poetry. Some of your words must admit we do not have in our English on this Continent! You may say well, I do not care. But this is the truth!

Thank you for sharing the special dedication for Pat...Zuzanna

Another wonderful piece of your great write;
It kept me absorbed and interested in the entire scenarios. Romantic set up on the beach. Love and the kiss, then the Poet became a baptized, what a great imagination!

BEAUTIFUL POEM!!

HI, Richard

Excellent poem!!! I did not like Mondays either.
It was always a day that nothing was going right. Perhaps because on the weekend was more relaxed. I have enjoyed the creative side of your write.
GREAT JOB!

This is you Dave, this writing. In style, it reminds me so much of that piece you write about meeting Lynda at the Cajun dance. I think THIS is your voice, your genre. You do it so well. It draws the reader (me) in and makes me want to keep reading. Nice circular touch with Walking in the Air.

I have been looking through some of the profiles and listened to your poem, 'My Dragon Husband'. Celebrated as a 'poem of the month' is a suitable accolade, I loved the imagery. Superb writing Freda.

The colours that you evoke in this poem are very evocative and fit perfectly with the title of the poem. I love the imagery of 'my jaded eye', as it works on so many levels.

I love the strangly hypnotic quality of this poem. I think porcelain doll is an extremely emotive image. a lovely, lovely poem.

Hi, Richard - Great write!

ODE TO MORRISON' -- Interesting title. The poem sounds like if was written about our Natives here where I am.

"Are you crawling along the dessert?
Or dancing around Indian circles in the sky?"

Hello Richard

Welcome to 'Write Out Loud!' This is an excellent poetry site. And these Poets who live in England are very fortunate to have the poems read loud at the Poetry Evenings what I have heard. I miss that as we do not have them here where I live. Your first shot of poems are very nice. Thank you for joining and please welcome...Zuzanna

Hello Malcolm, welcome back!
Glad you returned and you brought new poem for me to read. The leave reminds of a Autumn, or the phase of another year when the trees loosing their leaves getting ready for winter. I guess the dreams of spring are closely in your mind. Great write!

HI, Richard This poem is amazing! I can relate with the rotten sleeping pattern. I tried Peppermint tea if nothing else helps to fall asleep. The mornings can be very tiring when the sleep is not there. Very good poem!!...Zuzanna

Hi Melissa, beautiful dreamy poem. well written. Enjoyed the thoughts in your lines.

"step outside myself,
and walk away
from where I've been sitting too long,
a porcelain doll
sleeping under dust. "

Very nice to read,really enjoyed.

This is very interesting concept of a poem..It does contain only 29 words....?
Not sure why you mentioned "Sixty Six Startled Starlings" - very mysterious calculation.

Your poem is not only well written but very beautiful. Sentimental. Especially when you mentioned the flowers planted by your Mum. This sounds so good and gave me great feeling when reading. Excellent piece of poetry!!

Thank you...Zuzanna

Hi Peter

Your poem is well written, has depth of thoughts. Also nicely flow. Sad though as the eviction once was mentioned. It sounds familiar. Scary for those who really face that in a real life situation.
You have captured a lot of life events in this one.

GREAT WRITE!
