Hello Daniel, I am a relative newcomer to WOL and came across your profile and the poem The Place where only Dead Men Sleep. This particular poem interests me as I have written similarly in a poem called HellĀ“s Quagmire which is posted on my profile. We write not from experience as we are too young yet you have captivated the atmosphere so well of what life was like in the trenches. I drew a lot of my inspiration from old war time photos and some written works. Your poem has a special essence to it. Thank you. Keith

Hi Daniel.
Profuse apologies for not answering your kind appreciated comment on that diatribe of a war poem.
I sort of let it run away with me.
A very Merry Christmas to you. Ken

Hello Daniel - I noted your comment on Harry O's
post "Sound Advice". You're welcome!
I plead guilty to a love of verse/rhyme and to
being a traditionalist in such matters. They
help the mind retain things that it enjoys...
thus contributing to its health. How can THAT
be bad?
The popular composer Jule Styne (famous for his
hit tunes) had a classical music background and
was once asked about it. No doubt thinking of
stuff that stays in the mind, he remarked
"You can't whistle Shostakovich".
Cheers.

Daniel,
Thanks for the comment on Majesty...
There are a whole lot of comical memories I could recount about that street, but it would be too long on a poetry site. (I like your rhymed stuff) Hopefully, I will be able to get back to commenting anon.
...You`ve started me thinkin` again.

Hi Daniel
Thanks for your comments on tall tales. I can remember many moons ago when there would always be somebody older and apparently wiser in the pub dispensing words of wisdom or tales of what they had or hadn't done. just hoping I haven't got there ....yet

Thanks for that Daniel. your right I originally wrote it about a more modern conflict but your right it does seem to work well in anytime. I have written some poems around the first world war but they seem a bit trite and others have siad it so much better.
Thanks again

Hi Daniel Glad you liked the Miles poem. It's Jeanne MOreau on the album cover. Really atmospheric music with plenty of night time street scenes. All very cinema noir.

Thank you Daniel, for taking the time to read and comment on my work. It is a poem about a traumatic loss, and the storms that pummelled the coastline. I spend as much time as I can on the coast, it is my biggest muse. :)ps I am not sure where I should comment back when there is a comment on a poem. Is this the done way. :)

Yes I had forgotten about the combs dunked in what one can only presume to be some form of disinfectant.
As to the things that were only for the weekend, I can well remember when I had apparently reached adulthood a friend asking me to make purchases on his behalf, even though I didn't need a haircut !

Hi Dan Glad that there's at least one afficionado out there to dig my jazz vignettes. I was mulling over this one at The Cleethorpes Jazz weekend. Charlie didn't make it - for obvious reasons! - but still a fgood time was had by all!

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate this. At present I am writing a series of articles on the Poetry of the Great War which you can find posted on the WOL Main Page. It has a Union Jack above them. Your work interests me. I would like to see more of it.
Thanks again
