Hi Martin - thank you for reading my poem. I appreciate comments like this as I have not been writing very long, so try to take these on board. AND I have never read in public - yet! Hope to, although I live in the west country and there's not much that I've found, esp as I have NO CAR. Actually, when I read this poem out loud (to me and my cat) I think it sounds OK. The repetition (lost glove) which someone else commented on was to try and emphasise the presence of a mute insignificant object that just keeps somehow calling you back to pay it some attantion. Maybe it doesn't want to be a lost glove. Maybe one day I'll venture oop north and read it to you! ;-) Or are you in Wales?

hey martin. saw you at the slam at the wirral. i have to be honest- political poetry is not to my particular taste- however i wanted to say that you have all the makings of a great performance poet- presence and a nice style about you. everyone fluffs their lines now and again- next time eh? i'm considering putting something on for the 25s and under- to help develop our up-and-coming poets. are you interested?

Thanks for your comment Martin.
Riverview is a very pleasant evening and you have attracted a good variety of talent. Congratulations. May 2010 see continuing success and growth.
Well done too on producing 'Wirral's Winter Words'. A very nice book and a great achievement.
