Hi Lasse, thank you so much for the comment on Rooftop Reverie and the likes too. I could steal your bio word for word and it would be accurate for me. I don't know how I've missed your poems, but I'll set some time aside this weekend to correct that. Cheers, Tom.

Thanks Keith, that's so kind of you to say. I think a lot of people are missing those care-free times right now.
Thanks for all the likes everyone. I don't think I've ever had 11 before and didn't know you got two flowers, very encouraging ?

Many thanks Julie, nice to cyber-meet you! Good to hear that Hovis has had a few mentions, he was like the Beatles of comedy poetry, and a Mr Miyagi to quite a few of us on the comedy and poetry scenes.
And yes, I remember hearing that WOL started in Bolton. There used to be quite a few regular nights in Bolton when I last lived there from 2002 to 2005.

Age is a reality when you are closer to your doctor than to your

Just keep smiling - and adapting to the joke that is life while remembering that some are not allowed to enjoy getting older, let alone "old age"..

Flavia,
I echo the words of Paul. It was a super day when you arrived at WOL. Your poetry has an originality, an instant appeal which immediately draws the reader to your work. Continue writing as I believe you have a lot to offer with an immense reservoir of talent.

I can't stand to look at the pictures, evoking as they do a time, so long, long ago when we could meet together, recite together, get tight together.Will it ever be the same again? Could Trump's bleach cure save poetry performances? Or is it just fake news?
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, and to be sharing our poetry, very heaven.

Not everyone can ask for love, not everyone can get it, not everyone can give it.
You can be respected for trying, for honesty.
Your writing will give you strength.

Glad you spotted this again, Isobel! I rarely re-read my pieces with any particular pleasure - but I did this one. Probably the best poetry jam that I can recall.

Tom,
this must be one of the best poems that I have read in a long time which captures the theme of personal nostalgia. So very well written and put together. Evocative for any reader to roll back time and glimpse times past. An excellent poem.
Thank you
