This event I did my poem about was only given out to members just two days before it happened so it was kept top secret for these serious sexy swingers!

See you Monday

Hi Martin.
Thanks for the kind words on 'Truncheon for Luncheon'. Glad to be back. Writers block and life in general got in the way mate. Still performing locally a couple of times per month. Vespa running like a scene from Quadrophenia... so I've no excuses not to venture North West! Guitar and Verse or a WOL gig.
Hope to meet you at one soon. Will catch up on your poetry. :)

Yes it was the way your poem Shadow sent me thinking of my little Grandson who would have been five years old on the 11th April and the dark shadow it cast over me.

Sleeping with the Devil

The nightmare returns
sleepwalker I become.

Still evil beckons
me to die.

Falling into hell
intense fire below.

Then waking up
Sun and God.

They both rejoice
the battle won.

I Crave Death

If the devil
demands we sleep
it is so
he can steal
our defenseless souls.

Light of day
immediately tells us
a nightmare suffered
why then do - - -
I crave death.

Hi Martin - thanks for the comment on the prologue to Ghost story II.

The plan certainly is to read it out next month with the second prologue piece which I am still working on.

See you then.

Hope you are good

Wavelength

As the waves of poetry
flow as one into the shore
words disburse along different paths
forming again through sands of time.

Hi Martin.
Good on you for taking my comments on your poem 'college years'
as they were meant to be taken-
inclusive of a little leg pulling
without any lecturing.

Look forward to your next piece.x

thanks for the kind comments on 'redemption' Martin - yes, it's definitely a contender as a performance piece - I'm also earmarking it to record with a 'chick-a-boom' type backing in the spirit of Johnny Cash - at some point in the not too distant future - cheers - Ian

thanks for the kind comments on 'arroyo' Martin - the focus on the picture and the strict rhyme pattern really helps in getting a descriptive, tight set of stanzas - glad you liked it

thanks so much for your kind comments on 'Elephant's Graveyard' Martin - it was a deep topic generated by looking at Richard's amazing photo - I'm finding the exercise of looking beyond the obvious in his photo's very enlightening - would never have gone near the Ganesha myth otherwise - cheers

Martin - So glad you commented on 'Flip-flops and Bottle Tops'. It was a challenge to think what the children who live in conditions of fear would play with. Many thanks.

Of course - now that you mention it, I do recall
those electric clippers. But even more - the
click-click of the barber's scissors wielded
with such dexterity over a small boy's head in
the long-ago seaside town of my birth.

Hi Martin
'Glasto' was about having just as much fun... and mud... in your own garden without having to pay three figures for a ticket and far better toilet facilities than Glastonbury. Thank you for the comment. Appreciated.
I really like your poem 'He's not the one' especially as it gives the reader the hope that there may be a chance for the future. Nice one.
