Of course there is a great deal of difference between the thought of seeing a beautiful woman and the act of rape! But we are not talking of a beautiful woman and having sexual fantasies about her. or for that matter finding a beautiful woman sexually attractive. You are talking about little girls, ...

Feel at home already thanks X

In my oppinion, poems should always be new, mixing up bits of old poems never works, all poems should be from scratch.

Charlie Chaplin tip tapped his steps on the boards at the Oldham Rep, pounding out rheumatic beats, he found his dance on northern streets. From foundries to the pits men of steel wore clogs that clicked, made from polished Alder wood, embossed with nails ans shiny stud. In the mills that worked the...

I read your poem so deserved a comment. but it completely lost on me, all i was thinking was. What! haven't a clue, far to deep but will try and understand as i gain more experience. x

I Read your poem with much confusion? the title threw me not good. Then on reading it a few times thought it was a "green," poem. until i read the comments and your explanation, read again but couldn't get my head round what you where trying to say distasteful, repulsive, made very uncomfo...

Eyyy just been thinking !! was in the company of a great published poet one day, he was in an ice cream van and he invited people to stick post it notes with a poem onto his van, in exchange for a ice cream. Going of the subject now, think i think to much ! He was talking about poems like yours they...

Sorry but your poem gave me a headache, loved some of the things it said, but time and time again i see the f...word cropping up in a lot of poems and my heart sinks. Not a good word for me, as soon as i see it, i sort of loose interest. Poets know more words than most, you can find nicer words to g...

Enjoyed your poem, think we all have a little bit of.. feeling we haven't switched the light off, locked the door etc, but we fight the urge to keep checking.
How sad this poem made me feel for the poor folk who cant stop there check check checking ....Must dash think Ive left the cooker on???

AHHHH Now i see," But nothing goes off boring," maybe in your house, all houses are different. Theres always something "going off," in my house, not boring. mmmm
Maybe thats why i didn't get it ? but enjoyed the read made me smile x

Errrr yes liked the message and enjoyed your poem very much. Hope you don't really feel such anger inside it dose no good at all, Songs written for others to take and use as there own leaving you behind without a backward glance, but so what, is what I say your day will come when there's is done. Th...

Well thank you very much for taking time to read my poem and for your helpful tips, although don't want to sound stupid, but why pretend, i really don't know some of the stuff you are telling me have not a clue what you mean? So have to look it up. Indeed have been reading quite a lot of work and fi...

? just don't get it. dont realy like your poem maybe its me not to my taste . baffled newcomer.

All the people had gathered on the brow of the bridge, tasting sawdust, smelling sweet hay. Small boys jostled, whistled and shouted, yet expertly guided their ponies that day. Herd a crackle and fizz as fires rise up, from side of vans, the Romany kind. Horses snorting hoofing the ground, tied on t...

I am afraid I cannot help you in any way as I know nothing about how your supposed to write things, don't even know what a stanza is ? I just like to write and I love to read, all i know is what i like and i like your poem very much. A : bit of the modern day lover by text when it was so much nicer ...

I liked it very thought provoking ...made me think reminded me of a poem from a man i met, just the once and just for half an hour, but he stuck in my mind with his strange mini poem....quarter to two, time for a brew, when did I start talking like that ?

Found your poem soothing relaxing and calming very nicely worded liked the tone x

Love your little boats, they have a Amsterdam feel about them. reminded me of those brightly painted wooden clogs,

Thanks for your comments, "flour." Yes did mean the sort that makes bread is there another ? Did you think i meant flower! don't understand why you would think that, its a windmill that grinds corn to make flour. Maybe I will change that, if it is confusing.

Well thank you very much for your helpful comments, think your right needs a bit of tweaking. Like the word change round, looks much better ta for that will keep it .Also the full stop changes my poem gives it more of an impact so thank you. Will change the line about the butter bump don't like the ...

Liked this poem, and the line whistled through the water, loved that line , made me feel happy .

A very difficult subject to write about, I think, I feel a little of the sadness, but feel it could be far more powerful, in my opinion only,it seems a little rushed, do not like the fist line sounds a bit old fashioned,the use of cargo twice, the body of a hero bold? don't like that line sounds a b...

well just called by to have a read I'm baffled by your poem, but I am tired been a long day so will re read maybe i will get it in the end ?

have not read any popes satires? haven't a clue what they are I'm sort of lost. know not much at all, but will look it up and read ?

Set in a field by the river of dreams, near a chuckling Brook, a windmill with its towering height, painted sails soft shimmer white, casting crinkled shadows, as he slowly turns with ease, warmly waves on gentle breeze. I step inside his dusky tower, into a secret world of power, of eyes , harps an...
