Just "re-did" my Knee poem in the style of your poem with wiggly bits of punctuation - what was it called? Just off to have a little look! @~" or something! I don't think I've got the same wiggly lines on my keyboard! Hope you approve!

I've been reading your stuff, I love On Mondays I Fall in Love. It's so beautiful. And the one about the fruti & Veg (Best Before End) and the two people meeting at the art gallery. That made me think of two people meeting for the first time after answering a lonely hearts ad. And realising they are not for each other. Something I tried many years ago, an experience never to be repeated!

Hello Winston,
thanks for the comment on the Fleetwood poem. It's not one I'll send to my friends or family if I want to keep the front of the house egg free lol!

Thanks Winston, looking forward to being a part of this. I'm not too far from you actually - having moved to Slaithwaite a few months back (perhaps not the wisest of decisions when a full-time student in York but it is gorgeous up there)
Cheers

I have composed my own VD poem in the blog section, but it's a bitter bite... not as sweet and lovely as your little 17syllable nugget. My flower is the lotus. Were you thinking of any particular flower when you composed the haiku?

Haiku numero quattro... and all the flowers open/every time we touch. Very sensual. How perfect for tomorrow!! In any respect, lovely haiku.

Best before end had some good images in it. I listened to the recorded piece too and you have a mellifluous diction which for a midlander is quite hypnotic. You've worked really hard at your poetry and I know from my own book launch and tour it is harded to maintain an identity than to get one so I want to congratulate you on your successes mate.

Keep in touch and hope to see you in cov one day.

I'm going to post (just for you) a poem on a yorkshire fellow I wrote about called "the blooding of charlie pike.

That's not a hint for you to comment but if you want to read it then its on today's blog.

Thanks for your comment on tree people.

Bike - Thanks for comment Win. Wasn't sure about the handkerchief verse. "I want to be your hankie" sounds a bit daft maybe? I debated whether to say snot rag! Maybe that would have been going too far in female debasement due to adoration concept of poem! x

Dear W. Thanks for the kind comments re 'Martin'. Sadly, we never played together ever again...his gran wouldn't let us. I think she suspected we had become rather too close for comfort that summer...and nearly blinding him was the final straw. In real life the spinner treble hook went straight through his ear lobe...but I was amazed when the local Doc actually cut his earlobe and returned my spinner intact...result!

Good evening Winston

Thanks for the fine welcome. I enjoyed Decree Nisi. It's a powerful poem and very lyrical. Thought of The Pogues OrSomething. I like the refrain and the religious allusions. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your comments.
I will be near bolton for a while at the start of next year so hopefully will get up the guts to attend one of the events there while i am!

I think as people say science is a creative subject aswell, but far too often i end up just stuck learning and regurgitating facts.. but that is more a fault of the overly exam happy education system then the subject itself!

I was able to do some work with some parkinsons patients and it really affected and stuck with me, as i think it would anyone.

I really like your poems, especially Ignition distraction.

Dear Winston, thank you so much for your kind comments. If anything that I write actually improves with re-reading, then it really has done its job and tells me I'm on the right lines.

Thank you for taking the time.

Hi Winston, I equate Mercury/ Hermes also with Woden. He has a rich collection of associations with smithcraft and technology. Also with language and communication. I think the Internet comes under his remit too.

Thank you Winston for your comments on my poem 'Taken'...
always greatly appreciated.

I did read Andy N's (as you had suggested) and commented.

I really like your latest, but a bit confused by the ending, so I am reading it a few more times...

p.s. Is the typo in the title of your poem on purpose?

Good evening Winston,

Thank you for the welcome to Write Out Loud website.

I read a few of your poems and enjoyed them: For some reason I was reminded of Cathy Grindrod with some of your rhyme schemes. She is really good as I'm sure you'll agree. So I do hope you take that as a compliment.

I look forward to reading more of the Winston canon in the coming winter months.

love


Gregory S Nussbaum.
