Tomas
thanks for your kind comments regarding 'grandchildren of the somme' and apologies for taking so long to reply - I'm finding I'm spending less time on WOL than I used to - but that's a kinda good thing because I'm out performing more :-) I need to find a better balance between writing/performing I think. this poem is part of a wider work I'm recording with musical backings to commemorate the great war - it will include a lot of different pieces, but really glad to have obtained permission from the Wilfred Owen society to use a couple of the great mans works in the piece - so watch this space if you like war poetry. thanks once again for commenting - regards - Ian

Tomas - have only just checked my page after months and find a nice comment from you. Thanks. I'll change the samples soon.
Your mix of music, words and images in Flying Over Europe works well. A moving piece.

hi Tomas

Thankyou for your comments on "One Night" I agree that rhyme does seem to be on the decline at the moment. Anyway I loved reading your work as well.

Hello Tomas

Thanks for your thoughts on my "Four Magnolia Walls". I think you have hit the nail on the head (see how I extend the DIY metaphor, there).

Best regards

Hi Thomas, thanks for your comment on Who do you See. Ive just been having a look at some of your work, and had a good chuckle at your Mc Gonagle poem.Ive always loved and quoted "Oh beautiful bridge o`er the Silvery Tay", as how not to do it, but as you have so rightly pointed out, how may poets have come and gone? and this still brings a smile to anyone who reads it...... makes you think!!

Glad you enjoyed The Woolly tale. I am impressed by your historical content - particularly as my knowledge of Poetry and Poets is severely limited. (I failed Eng. Lit.)

Thanks Tomas,
I wrote it in response to a short snatch of a song I heard on the radio. I don't like being pigeon-holed and patronised, especially by Labour politicans who have totally lost touch with the origins of the party.

Thank you for your comment on 'What's it all about' - probably the deepest thing i've ever written - not sure I'll ever be able to follow it up! I guess it does sit well next to your poem 'Those who faught on that side' which also really makes you think. Would like to read more of your stuff but I shouldn't be on here at all - have a wedding to go to and I'm still in my Jimmies aaaaahhhhhh.
See you again no doubt. Isobel x

Hi, Tomas.

Thank you for your comment. Walls can be our allies, keep the cold hands of life out, or it can be our enemy, keeping life away from us. But no matter what wall we stand behind, everything we are will always be known to the ghosts walking through like in your poem, The Unseen Shadow, which I really liked. :)

Hello, Tomas

Thank you for your comment and information in regard of your poetry site. Any of the languages you mentioned I am not fluent. Do know some vocabulary though,
but that is not enough to be a translator. It is good to hear from you. I like the idea that you are going to write about Egypt, would be interested to red the poems. The subject of an Ancient Culture really fascinates.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you,
Zuzanna

Thanks for your comment Tomas, I can sympathise with the writing addiction - I'm chair-shaped, but I disagree that rhyming is boring! I think your first poem is really touching, I wish I had the balls to write something serious!

Hello Tomas, thanks for taking the time to read my writings.
I also enjoy rhyming poems but i try not to make a word fit just for the sake of it. Ha ha, there's a rhyme in there somewhere.
I find your seance and devils scripture intriguing, as i am a spiritualist medium and healer.
Very much a save the world person.
Spiritualists embrace all religions, colour and creed. Perhaps surprisingly, many of our congregation are Catholic.
I've been wading through Miltons "paradise lost," for about six months, amazing imagery there for devil poetry.
Thanks again Janet.
