Hi Phil

I am even later but still willing to lend a hand of friendship never the less.
Are we in for short and sweet poetry or just a short and sweet welcome? Either way;

Welcome.

Thank you Dante. I appreciate your comments and I am glad that you enjoyed my poem. I too kept butterflies as a child. I lived in the suburbs of Bristol, England and at the back of the house was a huge acreage of railway land encompassed buy a triangle of railway track and to cross the line was an o...

Hello Phillip and welcome.

I know what you are saying. The advantage of this forum is that you will get an honest and constructive breakdown of your work.

Anyway I look forward to seeing your poetry.

All the best. Angus.

I have changed the line!

My Name is Angus McQuaid. I have never been to New York but I once went train spotting in York, England. It was fun. How is N Y? It got badly munched up by those aliens during War of the Worlds did it not?

Anyway. Welcome to the forum and I look forward to seeing your stuff.

Hi Ros.

Anyway. A warm welcome.

Hello Mr Vincent Sir.

Do you mind if I call you Bob out of school hours or would that be an impertinence?

I look forward to you correcting my punctuation (And I mean it!)

Welcome aboard. Angus

PS. I love powerful poetry, driven by emotion. Let us have some.

Welcome to the fold.

Although we have already met (on the forum) I thought it should be official.

Hello Karalma

Nice to here from you.

Even though you gave up on the writing coarse it must still have worked as I understood the whole of your introductory!

Hello Alucinary Don't you love it when the valley is so full of cloud that Ullswater is burried and the peaks look like islands in a sea of cloud. One of your pics reminds me of this. High Street gives a great view of Glen Ridding and the Steamer etc. I feel that I should offer a poem. So heres a ne...

Hi Alucinary

Enjoyed Pics of Hellvellyn. I was up there on Christmas day this year. Were these pics from this winter. I recon 2006 was the best year for winter shots.

Thank you for your reply David.

Thank you Alucinary Thank you David Both sets of comments are useful to me and I will take note. Thanks again. I do struggle with punctuation. The capital thing.

Hi El.

I agree; very visual. What is it like flying with Biggles?

I have the impression that this was based on an experience. Would I be right?

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Angus.
