As you may pass by my little ol' page
This poetical digital stage
May our New Year bring
Your best role yet
And
Leave behind
All of
Last decade's
Regrets!
Wishing Everyone on WOL a Very Happy New Year! I've really enjoyed taking part on this site that I've just discovered this year. It was a nice alternative to the usual social media platforms!?

Jon .... I also read this a few times (enjoyed of course)
I don't know the circumstances behind this, but it would appear that some loud-mouthed fool thinks he's got the better of you.
I doubt that his victory will be long lived.
Bring on that wrath and let him have it
Cheers Kevin

Here in the States
there are always news stories about
people finding babies in dumpsters
it is not common but on the other hand
it is not rare.
People are too stupid to use birth control!

Ah! Losing your phone is more tragic than losing the love of your life in today's time....i can feel your pain although now broken into million pieces, but somehow it can still feel your feel again.
Buy a new one Donny dear, latest and new that can serve you life long. Really well.

Toilet poet recommends
Sitting on the toot
Ridding all the shitty stuff
In the bowl it put
Push the shit-flush button
Shit! there goes my phone
Dropped in in the toilet bowl
Moan moan moan

My friend Bert (who only went as far as kindy, where he learnt to count to 5 on his fingers) informs me that after many hours of hard finger-work lazing on his lounger he came up with an answer for (2p) of 2. Is this correct? At one stage he got in such a tizz as his calculations took him beyond 5.....a quick nap seemed to re-boot his brain.....

Thanks Ruth same to you
Christmas time is always fun
lots of beer lots of wine
but then all is gone
with the bottle bank full of empties
and money all spent up
on the positive side
a clear head is good
to write some more poetry
with the new year coming up!

Eyes to the right
eyes to the left
it's that Don looking
what does he see?
might need bigger specs
but not quite sure
he is looking at
someone so special
so I have to say
his eyes seem o.k!

Thankyou Nigel for your considering my eyes. You could have said stuff your eyes and commented thus:
Nigel!!!! Thalia here. WOL techs will not allow Don to zig-zag below as he was hoping. Seems the mods think he's taking too many liberties and putting a leash on him. We both know this will only have limited effect. So read on and apply a bit of LMS imagination
Thanks

Thankyou once

... are you receiving me?..... ......if your eyes are
going all zig-zag wizzy-like you need to see

Bravo!!!
This man has been a boy who fought the fear and dark shadows and is brave enough to stand eye to eye.....this is it!!
This man is unlike the ugly dark shadows, holding no grudge, but fearless and strong.....don't mess, just don't mess with him, you ugly human shadows.

Your Foreign Correspondent Don

Hello? Trumpy's just gone twittered
He's gonna launch a bomb
Wipe North Korea off the map
With great Trumpy aplomb
Just joking....sorry
What? I'm fired?
Have you Brits got no sense of humour?

The Like-Minders Society (LMS) is about to begin it's 10th Meeting.
This time the Rollercoaster will take the group around its Theme Park to the following stops of offbeat poetical interest:
Traditional Poets Stamping Ground
Writers Corners
The Interview Studio
Propper Spelling Centre
Toilet Stop (essential to any self-respecting Theme Park)
As many of our invited poets do not belong to WOL they are grateful for the exposure LMS offers them
Should you wish to join and book a Roller seat with our group it's very simple. Just email our leader. We're also free. How many other Theme Parks offer free rides?
Lucy L (LMS Head of Publicity)
No riff-raff or doomy gloomers please. We run a tight ship.
Don is a safe driver and our wheels don't fall off.....

Heart beats faster
Anxiousness rising
This coaster ride
Creates whirlpools
In my stomach n mind
Am all buckled up
Tightly holding on
To my teddy ? Po
All this thrill gives me chills
Slowly slipping down
From my spine to left toe down
Hey Don, drive slow and safe
Flights about to off take
Am all excited and nervous
LMS theme park addiction
Growing stronger and thrilling
All these years been wasted
Sitting hatching nothing
Now this fun filled journey
Opens up excellent avenues
Wherefrom i'll make journeys adventurous and new
Thank you Donny dear!! There are millions of butterflies in my stomach already....and many more still growing within me.

Your imagery makes me smile and gives me a feeling of hopefulness.
I especially enjoy the phrase 'Twin eyes dreaming and weaving silently their wishful lives' - the image in my mind of eyes weaving dreams is beautiful; one I won't forget.
There are many parts to this that I enjoy. Thank-you Do.RoThy.

To Don, Ethel and Bert: Thank you all for your comments and for taking the time to read what I've written. I look forward to hearing from you and reading your work in the future.
'An online drink in a pub' – I like that; it's nice to meet a fellow Aussie here. I hope you're all safe during this season of extreme weather.
I take Bert's comment in stride; I understand that a good piece should be easy to interpret by the audience and seeing as I'm posting in a public space, this is an effort I should make.
You lot are hilarious and you've made my day.
Thanks for the encouragement. I look forward to hearing from you all again in the future. A place like this is a blessing.
And to Brian: You're right, I just wanted to be sure to not upset anyone with my attempt at graphic imagery. Thank-you for your comment.

Adam
You need to get to know me to know the right way to take me. Being a newbie you do not yet have that advantage. But fear not cos I live downunder like you. See? I have established an immediate bond between us already. Bit like an online drink in a pub.
Ethel and Bert (friends of mine) often read poet's work and feel the urge to comment. Bert is a little miffed at all the big words you have used. He's feeling a bit uncomfortable and suggests an appendix of meanings would help. (He only went as far as kindy and can only count to 5 on his fingers). However they both feel there is deep meaning in your piece and encourage you to continue.
We basically write for ourselves Adam even if others have difficulty understanding us. Write and archive away. You'll gradually get to know which way to take me.....
