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.
Thanks. Janet.x

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

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.

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

I think we all have someone in our past we sometimes come back to and think ... "if only". Mine was a girl call Fiona.. or Foggie to her friends. Perhaps she stumple on this blog one day and message me by return.

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.

I like this, the idea of this shadow, almost haunting the new gf.
I recently heard a song on a similar theme called 'Ghosts' by Laura Marling.

I hope there is plenty of both words in your life Shelly D.... mixed with plenty of crazy!

cuts deeper than a knife
but still she begs you
to stay.

Whoo hooo ..... Never happens on our street, but there are a few groups locally... so I'm told. Can't say for certain. Wouldn't if I could. Although coming back on the boat Saturday night one lad in the bar announced to everyone his mother was a swinger. She disappeared quickly in tears. Still a private world, one which is shameful in public view I think. Thanks for the thought provoking moment.

There is only one thing missing ... finding you father's secret stash at the back of the shed, or in the roof.

Reaing by torch light in the middle of the night.... that'd be it.

The chicken thing could be quite embarrassing on a live open mic night unless you're good at tongue twisters. Although i suppose if you got it wrong it would be nice if the people laughed with you rather than at you. Better still when one can laugh at their own mistakes.
"Every object" screams "objection, subjection and intervention." All kinds of everything in this one. I enjoyed them so much i read them several times and still want to see more in them.
Thanks for entertaining me. janet.x

Comment is about Friday the thirteenth (blog)

Hi 'tone, i'm not superstitious at all. I just cringe when i walk under a ladder.
Just relaxing after a very enlightening experience concerning my spiritual self development. Not much sleep but boundless energy and loads of very emotional instances.
Feeling a bit tender at the moment, in recovery, so to speak and regaining my inner strength so i can go out and face the world again. I feel like a hermit.

Comment is about Friday the thirteenth (blog)

whether it's fact or fictitious nonsense, it's all worth writing down. I'm sure it must mean something to someone.!
Stagnation can be a sod tho'.

Hi again, this reminds me of a time, not so very long ago really, when i too was afraid of "shadows". I'd be walking down the street and quite literally, a shadow would draw up beside me, as if to say,"oi, where do you think you're going without me."
Great stuff Alison, but i wouldn't want to repeat it.xx

My past haunts me time and time again, but it's usually for good reason. It's when we allow it to interfere with now and the possibility of a near future outcome it causes problems.
