Hi Winston - thanks so much for commenting on my poem Inner Beast!

Just been reading your work - Two Cats is just wonderful and such fun! Especially the end, really made me laugh:

My cats have been ill
White coat investigators
Nothing found… £100

I can relate to that! Happened to my cat recently (except it was £180!)

Winston, thanks for your comment on The Parting. You solved one problem for me absolutely: I have dithered endlessly over 'my heartbeats measure the night' or 'my heartbeat measures the night'; I have spoken the line, sung the line, nearly dreamed the line ... and you're right ... you read what it should be. Thanks

Hi Winston,

Thanks for your comment on my poem. I am also Glastonbury-bound this week for the first time.

I have to say I really enjoyed Decree Ni'si. Brutal and moving poem.

..hello Winston....a few years ago I spent time researching the family tree and came across gr.gr.gr. grandparents who came from Cork and settled in Kelsall in 1835..the more I found out, the more poems I began to write about them, in this extract they're ghosts...yes, they do end up together....but in very, very strange way...if you click on 'myspace' link at the top, the first song 'Rosanna' is about them....thanks for the encouraging comment.....chris.

Hi Winston,
'spragged to the floor' means to stretch the fabric to its limits and pin it down.

Sprags in real terms are the metal hooks used to pin tents to the ground for anchorage.
Thowt tha wud 'ave known that, you bein' a Yorkshire lad 'n all. :-)

Thank You so much Winston for your in depth critique of my poem 'Love Me'.

I am amazed how long it takes me to write poetry by comparison to some other poets on this site, they seem to be so prolific... it's very intimidating ...one after the other.. but I hope to have another ready soon. Meanwhile many thanks once again.

Hi winston,

thank you for taking the time to respond to my work. I really value the feedback i recieve as it helps me progress and learn more. The collages of poems i am currently writing are from my own experiences, and the imagery is from my lens. I really likes the comment you made about your daughter. Yep, when i was a soldier i was single, but getting letters from ones loved ones meant so much. In the Gulf, mail was irregular at first. we were lucky if we recieved one mail run by the RAF a week. Nevertheless, some soldiers took advantage of the SATCOM kit, and phoned their wives and girlfriends and spoke with their children, they would hide it, but they would often be tearful but glad of the contact. It is extemely difficult being a soldier, and even more difficult is making the transition to civilian street afterwards. Even now, at the age of 42, i am still writing letters that i will never send, to the military asking for my old job back.

be well blue

How stupid am I? Thought i'd share this one with you cos it made me laugh. When you sign off you comments you always put win. I thought you were saying that the poem was a good one and that 'win' was your way of saying it. It always made me chuckle cos you used the expression a lot - have only just got it. Am I ever so slightly mad? Don't you just love the English language?

Hi Winston, Thanks for commenting on my poem. Just wanted to let you know that I wasn't criticising Malpoet's poem. I thought it was very clever - I just found it really hard to read. I have 4 very beautiful children - so I find stuff like that really hard to deal with. Perhaps i didn't explain myself well enough. I totally agree that it was a well crafted poem.

Thanks Winston.
Never expected such a reaction! Wrote it as a homework exercise. Ie. to write a piece in imitation of, or responding to the work of Walt Whitman, it being his 190th birthday this May. He wrote a piece called Salut au Monde. I thought I’d see what would happen if I didn’t mention Whitman in my blog. Found it very hard to get my head around his style, fortunately the safe delivery of a little grandson provided some inspiration.

My first experience of Prestwich was approximately fifteen years ago, which is, as no doubt you are both aware a predominately Jewish area of northern Manchester. I have since learnt that the main objective of all Jewish women who are love with you is to ensure they feed you… constantly.

Finally whatever the circumstances her Mother will never approve of … anything.

Thank you for reading it’s very much appreciated

Thanks for the comment on 'Her Eyes Are Wild' - the collaboration element is based on the link and shift of renga practice but also linked to Wordsworth - I find myself walking with Wordsworth more and more these days.
