Hello Jade .. thank-you .. yes, I signed in, a dark cloud descended, and I wrote that .. must've been something I had for tea !! .. no seriously I log in then make myself write for a few minutes - that's where that came from .. m .s.
10-12-12 - thanks again - no it's not clever I write down my first/immediate thoughts then edit and prune a bit till they look strong enough to stand up - then I abandon it for ever .. cheers!

Hello Jade
Thankyou for commenting on "Karma". Just as you say above "I'm not really a poet", so too I'm not at all a philosopher. I just hope the b*st**d who drenched me gets his!

Hi Jade, Glad you liked the site and the WCW tribute. Quite a suprise when I found that a recording existed of WCW reading his own poem. Win

And I would add 'listen to Isobel'. She's the only voice of reason on here and offers wise counsel...

Good to have you on board.

Thanks for taking a peek at my poetry. You like the funny stuff. I do too - wish I could write more of it :)

I enjoyed reading yours. It's definitely the kind of poetry you have to think about deeply.

The only advice I would give you is to keep writing and also reading the work of others. The more you read the more you absorb and the more your own style develops. People tend to comment more on your work if you blog it - also if you comment on their work - though that isn't always guaranteed.

I'm glad you seem to be enjoying WOL.

'Not really a poet'? Ha, try defining that word and you are back to the Red Wheelbarrow thread :)

Welcome to WOL, Jade! I'm glad that you plucked up the courage to join and that you have already taken part in discussion - we need fresh blood in there!

Isobel x
