your response was well thought out and well-said!
In fact your response was better than the poem itself.
I like your thought about us being Rememberers.
so true.

cheers Keith - glad you liked 'from the attic' I never go in ours - I am unsettled by the noises that eminate from it even though there's nothing up there. A bit like my head! ?

Keith,
I agree with your comments in reply to mine below. I feel it is an honour when someone takes the time to read my poems and provide comments, whatever they may be.
Thanks,

thanks for commenting on 'Martyr' Keith - yes I'm going with the flow at the moment - some hits some misses but NaPoWriMo certainly makes you work at a pace ?

Regarding "Free Speech" and your comments
I think England has gone down the tube
much like the USA.
you cannot truly speak your mind.
the speech police will come and
take you away.

Hello Jeannot,

Thank you for your kind words. In my profile I ask for comments on my poems as being essential to my development as a poet and writer. I welcome constructive criticism but this is double edged as I feel bound to criticise in turn to give my comments in the hope that they will be helpful to others. WOL is a great opportunity for us all to learn from each other.

Thank you again
Keith

thnaks also for commenting on 'the turning of the tide' Keith - this poem a day malarky means I'm getting behind on the 'thank you's' - I always appreciate your kind and considerate input and feedback - thanks for taking the time to do so

thanks for the kind comments on 'with banners..'Keith - I am lucky not to be in the position of the poems theme - but I do a lot of gigs for homeless charities as part of the We Shall Overcome campaign - we are playing the 'With Banners Held High' festival in Wakefield on 18th May - looking forward to that one so much - and hopefully this will be recorded as a song by my band in time to sing it our=t at that festival ?

Autism has many faces.
one of the most common traits is stimming.
also most are not social and have a hard time being around
other people. I send you this on stimming which is the
rhythm i refer to in the poem.

Thanks for your comments on "First Ride".
I said it as best I could.
all kids are drawn to horses I think.
and all want to ride.
When you have a horse underneath you.
you are on top of the world.

Hi Keith - thanks for your 'Listening To Neil Young' comments, pleased you like it. I sense we have a modernist approach to poetry, as illustrated by your work such as Faces In The Shadows - 'who live on the fringes of light' and Etiquette - 'nostalgia plays a long symphony'. good stuff mate,

BLUE BLOOD

What can you do
if inside of you
runs royalty since
your blood is blue
write poetry
and seek the truth
inside of you
if your blood is blue.

Thank you for the support.

Reading poetry can bring together enemies - if they'd only read it right.

Your contributions are nothing less than completely meaningful and heartfelt in substance.?

thanks for the comments on 'falling down the cracks in the pavement' Keith - yes - I needed some light relief after the war poetry of the last month or so - been on a tour of 6 gigs in 7 days last week delivering the set of poems and music that I released about WW1 in 2014. It has been fulfilling but emotionally draining - I needed to let off some steam and let out some jeans :-)
