Hi Elaine

Thx for the comments on Intercontinental drift, was writen in a hotel in London where they had the most stunning and imaginative displays of flowers I have ever seen, orchids in the lift up the walls and overhead. Amazing. Win x

Thx for reading/commenting on my last poem Elaine.

Great performance at Poets Corner- congrats!

Oh and perfect judging imho, I loved Steve Smith's poem and the humour of Hara's poem- great balance.

My Best

Dear Elaine,
thank you for your kind comments and I have re-read 'Old World ' and now find myself totally drawn into it. I used to live in Berlin , near the Wall, and once when the seasons were turning in the park ,Tiergarten, where there were ruined embassies untouched since 1945, experienced a moment such as your poem captures .Your craft recalls me to that moment ,painfully unconfessed imaginings.Oh regrets, I have a few!
Would like a re-read of your closing piece , if poss. stephensmithster@gmail.com

Liked 'Breakfast Pots'. Humorous topped with a light sprinkling of pathos. But really.. it struck me as sad and doesn't it sum us all up!

Dear Elaine,
Thanks for the comment on the haikku - absolutely loved the last verse of your poem 'The Old World' (and that's not something I get to say very often...)oh dear that sounds so .. (word beginning with 'p')...parsimonious but it's a beautiful stanza

Education. I work part time as a TA so hopefully they won't bug me too much! I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Thanks for your comment Elaine. The idea was all Stellas and her poem on the theme was a lot better. It's not a subject I like to dwell on but I find other people's poetry stirs it up... and when you have to write something, it comes out whether you like it or not. :)

I'm on the way to feeling better thanks - which is just as well since we have OFSTED in tomorrow... Hope you are feeling better too. xx

Hi, Elaine,
Sorry I missed your call. Do try again, or a regular email. This message is via this route as I annihilated my computer the last time I used the 'personal' route with someone else. So now I'm scared to death to try again. Can't afford to jinx my laptop.

Thanks for your comment Elaine. Yes - it was a different one for me - just a reflection of a mood I was in. I've had a good read of your latest and enjoyed. I'm never good on commenting on nature poems though - they don't quite reach me in the same way.

Thanks E for your comment on Gordon, always much appreciated and yep you're spot on. Bullies are made, not born - we both know that. It was a story that had to be told.

Hi There thanks for your constructive comments on the 2nd of these McCarra experiments - harm resistance. It is a running debate as to whether an origin statement should be included. I currently think it should but both ways (With or without) have advantages, Win x

Hi Elaine;

Thanks for the comment over My Hometown.
Oddly enough the last line which seems to be going down so well was the line which was the one I was most worried about, but pleased you liked it.

See you soon (I am almost fighting fit now)

Cheers x

P.S. - The piece is about my love affair with my hometown (Stretford).

Sorry, Elaine, should have made myself clearer. I think "played shadow puppets" reads better. I thought the first line was rather long in relation to the rest of the poem, though maybe that's no bad thing. Poems never are finished, that's the way to look at it, can always be made better.

Hi Elaine, thanks for commenting on For My Parents.

I wrote both pieces in June a week apart.

Didn't kill any zombies in the end, the "bigness" of the day, emotionally, hit me and the leaps I'd made in understanding myself - there are light bulbs switching on all over the place at the moment! :) xXx

Thanks for the comments on Senlac Hill. An enormous historical "what-if" indeed. We probably wouldn't have the richness of language we do, poaching from the French our posher words. The strongest influences would on culture would have remained germanic and scandinavian. And we might have fragmented back to smaller kingdoms like Danish-led Northumbria in the North and Saxon-led Wessex in the South ie no England.

Hi elaine, again your comments are very much appreciated. It is sad of course and not the path I hope anyone has to follow. Yes, its the medical term for liver spots. The bit you have highlighted seem to have a good rhythm when at a reading so I have given it a few outings recently. The stones in the trifle i will leave to the imagination. Win x

Hi Elaine;

Glad you like 'Summer is here'.. I agree totally with your comments here and it sums up what I was attempting to do.. I wrote it the other week at lunch when I got really, really
wet on the way back to the office and it sort of summed up my feelings towards the british summertime..

Thanks again x

Thanks for your comment on my poem Elaine - it's about the departure of a friend, which saddened me. It probably comes over as more serious than it was actually intended - I was aiming for detached regret underpinned by an empathy with that person.

Cheers m'dear for your comment on Melancholy - I wasn't aware of your version of Thomas so thanks for the extra info :) It is very similar to my own feelings when writing that piece actually. Realised that my plan-making doesn't always lead to clarity of mind, and in fact, I sometimes make situations so much more difficult for myself!
