What ho, Yvonne.
Im afraid my laptop gets PMT and goes all moody on me.
What I was trying to say was that A the G did loads of stuff n stuff n stuff like that but only gets remembered for burning the Xmas pud, whereas Nelson isn't quite as nice a fellow as we now think him to be but just because he saved the nation from sea invasion from the surrender-monkey froggies with their distasteful cheeses and surly waiters...
Ok - bad example. Maybe I need to think this through a bit more.

Thanks for reading/comments on SchoolMistress. Fortunately that woman never taught me!Maybe I was a teeny bit cruel about the woman it was based on.

Laura thank you for your comment. I agree re 'lays' and 'lies' and its American-ism. Recently I have been in a quandary as to the grammar. So I have lain the issue to the past(participle).

Many thanks for the kind comments on my poems recently. Sorry I can’t offer a more personal thankyou but I’ve got gremlins in my machine which makes typing a comment over the internet take an eternity. Hence this rather impersonal catch-all done in Word and pasted on-line.
Notwithstanding, many thanks.

Hello Yvonne
I really appreciate the time you gave to commenting on 'Out'
I thought hard about putting it on WOL, fearing misunderstanding, but thankfully not.

Hello Yvonne, I think your poem ‘Bins’ is fantastic and should be placed at the side of every litter bin in the country.

I see you like Marriott Edgar; well I’ve placed one of my poem on my blog today with apologies to Edger’s poem ‘The Lion and Albert’

Thanks for the info. about your picture's
appealing scenery. My elder sister & her hubby
retired to live an hour or so from Toulouse - and enjoy the occasional stay down by the Med.
The French are fortunate to have the scale and
variety of country and seaside - plus sun, of course!

Hi Yvonne - I have no objections to you putting
some music to "Steam Days". In fact, if it will help, I suggest you replace "boyhood"
with "childhood" for your purpose with that in
mind. Have fun!

Thanks for your words on 'Homs'.
George Orwells book is a spot on allegory for what has happened in Syria over the last 20 years, and Assad does have the eyes of a pig.
(Not sure what this 'rural idyll' is that everyone keeps mentioning!)

You've open the proverbial can 'o' worms here Yvonne. I used to do something with the index of first lines in poetry books. i would read the lines and make a poem out of them. Not changing anything but just taking each first line in the order it was in and create a poem that way. Sometimes they work really well especially if the lines are from a book by a single poet. Try it sometime, it can be quite amusing when you move the emphasis and combine two lines as one.

I sometimes think I should get out more!!!

Hello Yvonne... Thanks for your comment on 'Found Poem'. Cento isn't a word we hear much of these days. But to be honest the poem isn't strictly a 'cento' as that is a direct placement of quotes. Found Poem is a re-arrangement of the words. Here endeth the lecture!

Your 'Kiss' is a good Poem. I've read it about six times and each time it's different. Well thought-out.

Thanks for reading and advice on The Whore's Dream. Yes, that was the only reason I added that clumsy 2nd, to find a home for the Ouse line. And Tithonus reference - I try to avoid doing a 'Geoffrey Hill' as unfortunately classical mythology is no longer in the common domain. Such references were once a useful form of shorthand for writers to use but sadly are no longer so and just give the unwelcome impression of exclusivity

Hello Yvonne.
Glad you liked "Stairlift to Heaven".
I stumbled a bit recording this; the audio words don't quite match the written words all time.

Hello again Yvonne,
Glad you liked 'Johnny was a Rudeboy'.
Hope you're doing good.

P.S I really liked BINS. Funny and light hearted with an almost sinister twist at the end, nice element of surprise there.

Hi Yvonne,
Thanks for commenting on 'Don't take yourself so serious'. I've edited since posting and decided to cut out the expletives and a single verse to make it less confrontational. I feel the message is still there though. Have a look if you fancy.

Regards, Jack

Hello Yvonne. Glad you like "Dream". I'm not sure about your suggestion of the extra syllable (it's the bean counter in me!) but I do like the suggestion about "were" instead of "was". Subjunctive, indeed! I suspect you might know what you're doing!
Can I recommend MC Newberry, Richie Muster and Ian Gant. Check out their stuff; I think you'll like it.
Subjunctive, indeed!

Hello Yvonne

Thank you for your very well thought through critique of my work. You are quite correct...

...the piece is to be, needs to be continued but I am not sure in which direction I should take it. So until then I shall leave it to dry out beneath the sun.

Once again so many thanks for taking the time and effort to respond to my poem.

Thanks for your comments on my last blog.I have just read your poem "Bins" and love the last line in the context you created. A most unlikely subject yet done with affection and skill. Neat! To follow up on Philipos's comments about window cleaners and dustmen...
"I'd be a window cleaner but always thought the job would be a pane in the glass"!! :-)

Thanks for reading Mementos. Yes, about two deaths.None of us recognised how cut up Alastair the knackerman was at losing custody of his children and he took the way out that so many in the farming industry do.( the profession that is top for suicides). If only people would talk and not keep their emotions bottled up. And the other one, the Oxford student, he was wild, wanted to experience everything including death before he reached twenty (told me the day before that he was going to ride his motorbike flat out off the road).

Hi Yvonne (Now and Then) much appreciate the feedback. Welcome also to WOL. If only bins could really talk eh? Guess the dustmen like window cleaners could do the translating.
