Hi Tomas, I can really identify with this and either you didn't ask, or you did something wrong, the result is the same. It's difficult to move on but hopefully we get there. It's a wonderful poem and very clever use of words, nice one, Jeff

Hi Mirna, another lovely 2 entries, this and the Shadow one. A bit difficult to decifer but, having read a lot of your other stuff, I think I know where you're coming from, and still a lot of sadness by the sounds of things to me, Jeff

Comment is about The Window (blog)

Orchestrated to the song of birds. I got a little confused between the personal "I", "we", "our" and then the references to "they". The split between the speaker and the lady and the birds is possibly a little too blurred for my simple mind to keep the images seperate.... hope you don't mind this bit of crit.

Surely that tree was in the film 'The Ring' wasn't it? If we have read it or seen the video are we about to die in seven days.

Was expecting a poem Nick, oh well, agree on the publicity, they hardly need it!!! Although my heart is with the Clash etc, I don't mind Coldplay, I saw them at the Reebok and enjoyed it. I was also glad they played and recorded their video to 'Fix you' there so a bit of pride it wasn't in London!

Not sure they're as dull as Portishead, but what can I say, I go for more depressing stuff like Joy Division and the Cure!!! Cheers Jeffarama!

Original item by Nick Payne

just went onto your nyspace if you like vampires here is a poem for you;
Your eyes are dark,
They hide your darkness within
Waiting to ousted
Your lips red like a rose
Full and bee stung.
Your pose inviting me to take a bite
Come to me and be a creature of the night.

I’d like to kiss your neck with butterfly bites
Hold you tight
In a death grip
Lead you to the undeath with breathless sighs of
Love,
Deep within your soul as you stare into my ageless eyes.

I’ll hold you tight as I bite
Caress you as you fall
As the death calls
I’ll let you feed on me.
Finally when you are sleeping
I take you to my tomb
I’ll be your groom you my bride
We will hide from the sun that you need no more
Then when the pale moon rises we will walk hand in hand
Under its light
I’ll be your eyes your sight
The most important light in your eternity.
Nothing will touch you my eternal red rose
As this is life you chose
When you invited me to take a bite.

Comment is about Letting go of your dreams (blog)

None of your experience has been wasted.
Even Playwrites need experience from the base elements to get it spot on and excellence is assured when one has an understanding of the actors/actresses emotional state.
Perhaps you only missed out on an opportunity because there's something better on its way to you?
The song "saving all my love for you." by Vanessa Williams comes to mind. Hope you do well in whatever you wish to achieve. Janet.x

My sentiments exactly! Well done! Thanks for a wonderful portrayal of how poetry affects our lives, hopes and our dreams.

Original item by Daniel Hooks

Stick at it! Both of my kids perform monologues and duologues. There is a great satisfaction in directing their performance, pulling out the neuonces of the words to be dramatised.

I'm stuck for a dualogue next year but I have the opportunity to write one in collaboration with another writer.

At the theatre I'm one of the chaps in black that floats on and off stage changing scenery and collecting props. Our theater has a victorian trap door system which takes muscle power to raise and lower the performers. It's an interesting job... in fact I'll post it today as a blog.

It would be tree-son to speak out against this work. A fun read with a deeper undercurrent.

Antonio-I am only informed from BBC what I can read and what’s happening over there. We have not much news if comes to details of individual Country. However, I agree in whatever you say. Thank you for the political point of view.

Good read.

Hello Tomas

"Better love and lost then never have love at all"
Your poem shows a lot of feelings and emotions. The lost love hurts quite long time, perhaps all life? If it was a true love the heart feels the loss.
You have done excellent job writing about unrequited love.

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Hello, Antonio

Fabulous write. My imagination took me to the hospital where the new born was held on arms of his father. Very beautiful picture-really enjoyed reading this fine write.

Happy belated Father's Day!

Antonio

I am watching the Euro Cup here too. You right some teams got stronger and play better then in last few years. I remember Zinedine Zidane.

Italy, in contrast, celebrated their recovery from an opening defeat against the Dutch to move into the last eight - although they will lose influential midfield pair Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso through suspension.

Coach Roberto Donadoni was under huge pressure before the game, but the world champions delivered when it mattered and can now go forward with renewed optimism.
Italy dominated what was a calamitous first 45 minutes for France - and it was only the wayward finishing of Luca Toni that kept the scoreline respectable.
Toni set the tone for his display after only three minutes when he collected a long ball but pulled his shot hopelessly wide.

As of TODAY- France 0-2 Italy & Netherlands 2-0 Romania

Thank you for making this European Cup commemorative in your poetry.

Fantastic write!

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

brilliant Antonionionioni.
Since my partner moved in I don't get to watch the football. Now I can see the results, in rhyme if not in time; et en francais. Formidable! Merci!

I'm going with Melanie... hypnotic. So the speaker is either a God a meglomaniac or has a serious ego problem. I can;t quite ground it, but I certainly enjoyed the flow.

You have captured the unpalatable truth of the situation in this poem Pete. Good performance poem. I can see you now, giving it lots of "wellie". Good work

Just looked at the pic again. I see big brother's on the street again, and what's that in the trees, a kyte or another camera?

Oh, very well written indeed. I was there once.
Found the strength to break free too. It's the inner scars which take longer to heal.
Still, i'm not bitter. No point is there.
Thanks, Janet.

The old man of time visits at the most inconvenient time, don't you think?
There does seem to be a mix of wonder and disappointment here but it does make one think.

Comment is about The Window (blog)

At first glance, the pic looks like two one way streets going up the same avenue, then a car in the middle went and spoiled the vision.
It all sounds a bit cynical to me or is it just meant to be dry humour? Janet.x

Comment is about Let's look through ... the suburban window (blog)

I'm not quite getting the full story here. Perhaps if the man was already in the room and she was asking him to leave I'd of gone a differebt way. Slightly too much mystery for me so late in the day.

Comment is about The Window (blog)

I think most of us have loved and lost at some stage, but then what would we have to write about? I like this.
ps. thanks for your advice, i might just give it a try. Janet.x

Exceptional work Christine. I have often sat on high ground and watched the mountain hares. You've captured it very well.

Comment is about The Hare (article)

Coldplay are often referred to as 'fannies on sticks', at least they are in my house. They have an excitability factor up there with Belinda Carlise. Now, don't squirt me with figures of just how many records they've sold. They are the turnip soup of the record industry. This is nothing personal, you understand. That Chris wotsisname is a decent enough chap, he's just not Rock n' Roll. Give me Art Garsausage anytime...

A heart felt plea. It comes accross as a personal comment by the speaker.

Comment is about Have Mercy on Me (blog)

Can we really know a person through the poetry they write? Can we map out their lives? I say no. Try it with me and I'd end up a wife beating, husband beating, cross dressing, barefooted child who smells distictly of fish floating in a cloud with both parents dead morning a child killed in a car accident. Then some of what I write is personal experience the problem for a reader is spotting which is which. So even if you can really read and feel, can you know the person behind the poet? Where does the rest come from? .... flashes I get when I touch upon anothers energy. Thank you for making me think.
