Hi Lovely, You're always writing! so does that mean you're always feeling sad? Poetry is a great way of releasing some of the tensions and pressures in life! Better to let your words and feelings flow than to keep them bottled up inside. I feel happier after writing a poem. Your poem was not to my t...

Hi Dennis,
I can relate to your poem, I too have suffered periods of depression in the past and your poem brought back some memories of the dark periods in my life.
Very touching, keep up the good work, it will help to release some of the tensions that build up in the bad times.

Hi Dalena, Even at my age, this made me smile! When you consider that the majority of women fail to have an orgasm when having sex, there must be many women who feel like you! Disposing of his morsel for the birds wouldn't solve your problem though! Never heard it being called a "morsel" b...

Simple, short, i liked it very much. But this line "a phone call away from loneliness." doesn't seem to fit in with the context of a homeless beggar as I would have thought a beggar would already be lonely. I would have probably written "a phone call away from civilization." I'm ...

Good idea to take PG as the theme of your first stab at this kind of writing and you develop the theme well. How contemporary are you willing to be - no rhyme at all, no capitals at the beginning of the lines? Go on - I dare you. Best, elph Thanks for all the compliments!!!! Trust you elph to dare ...

New to the forum, this is my first attempt at a more modern contemporary type of poem. Listen! Can you hear? The whispering words, And memories to save, In the Poets Grave, Buried in time. Poetic verses, Imaginary words, Decaying poetic lines, Buried in time. Subjective feelings, Heavenly dreams, Th...

Really enjoyed your poem, imagined my self walking along the shore in an idyllic, tranquil setting! Hmmm Paradise!
I'd love to live beside the sea!

Good job I found this poem early in the morning when i was wide awake, brilliantly thought out! I related to the context of the poem straight away.
Well done Ray!
My sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!

Hi kattie,
When i first read this poem, my heart sank and I thought this girl needs help! She's Anorexic! Then I saw your last comment! I hope it wasn't you looking in the mirror!

Very touching poem!

Now I'm showing my age, I got the inspiration for this poem from my late father who had also composed some poems about Albert and Lions. I think he was trying to better Stanley Holloways monologue. Now you’ve all heard that famous story, About Albert and Lion at Blackpool zoo. They say history never...

Thanks for the comments Neil, unfortunately my punctuation and spelling is not perfect. You will see that in more of my poems especially when i try and use Yorkshire dialect! LOL

Here's my first poem contribution to the forum, I wrote it a few years ago when I realised i was wasting my time watching football on the TV. I'd rather compose poetry now! LOL Football managers and players should hang their heads in shame, For what they've done to our traditional football game. Now...

This is my type of poetry, really enjoyed reading it. These type of people either become nutters in later life and end up in jail or successful and end up becoming millionaires!
Now me! I was boring in my younger life, shy, withdrawn and wouldnt' hurt a fly! Where's it got me!
Writing poetry!

I got that feeling you wrote this poem in a rage after being used and mislead by a woman on a one night stand, or perhaps it's just me reading it wrong.
I've been married for 30 years and I'm still alive! Whats that telling you? My wife aint got a deadly kiss! LOL

Very nicely written, I actually felt as though I was in the room with you and I could smell the oily adour of the old miners lamp. I'm no expert on English grammar and modern poetry but I enjoyed your poem. 9/10

Welcome Alan, I would be surprised if anyone gets upset by the content of your thread, anyone that promotes poetry in any form should be welcome. Will we see more of you here or is this just a flying visit? Hi Ben, I am planning on making regular visits, contributing some of my own poetry and hopef...

Hello, Good Evening and Welcome to all poetry lovers. My name is Alan, I only really got interested in writing poetry about 6 years ago after my father died of cancer in 2003. My father had written over 125 poems about his life and I inherited them after he died and I felt it would be a shame to des...
