Poetry Forum

Hi everyone, I'm just popping in to update you on what's happening with Caleb, in case it's of use or interest to you. At the moment, it's looking unlikely that he'll return to this forum. I've been in touch with him via email quite a lot lately, and I've been trying to work out the best way forward...

You're welcome, Tristan. I'm actually considering a competition at the moment, as if I submit only one poem (out of the maximum three), it'll just be £4.00. I'll see how it turns out, though. I might end up submitting for free to a journal and putting the pounds towards a poetry present

Bw,
Fliss

Just tiptoeing in to say thanks to MacPhil, Caleb, Tristan for the congrats. And congrats to Tristan in return 🥳 Caleb, I hope you'll try again; the next issue of Snakeskin will be published at the beginning of February. Tristan, I enjoyed your essay. I've entered a few Ekphrastic Review contests th...

Thanks for the kind words, Caleb. I'll continue to write for as long as I can, and the Coo-mmunity wishes you every success with your writing (^v^)

Renewed muchly thank-coos, MacPhil and John. W.-B. is happy to report that somehow we are well on our way to a hundred published poems! We appreciate the congrats and champers

Muchly ta, MacPhil. Hooray, a peace dove! W.-B. has a gift for you in return, presented by Chortles. It's only a Moderator Medal! Wear with pride

Members of the Coo-mmunity are moving on to poetry pastures new.

We'd like to thank everyone who assisted with our poetry over the few years we were here and we wish everyone All Good Things for the future (^v^)

(^v^) -- Go Whitney! Go Whitney! Go Whitney! [etc.]

Greetings, John, and apologies for not making much sense yesterday evening! What we meant was, could the line about looking through the archives use some sea imagery, maybe? N might be searching a shipwreck or something; that's probably not a good suggestion (we're very tired again), but hopefully i...

(^v^) -- Yeah!

(^v^) -- Yeah!

Well, this is splendid, John. Members of the Coo-mmunity can't think of much to suggest at the moment, but we'll return if we do. The imagery is excellent and we wonder whether 'archives' might find a place in the sea theme (^v^)

Cheerie,
F & (^v^)

Ooh, thank-coos John, how pleasant. We appreciate the notes on Accessibility, under Services. Of course when we attempt day trips we are generally accompanied by Mr T and at least one of the ginger giants, who are known for rearranging the scenery to accommodate our requirements. Mr T has a knack fo...

(^v^) -- A little dancing to end the day.

Shriek! The Canada goose again! Yes, we do like this one. Congrats from all at Rhyme-Time (^v^)

Greetings, John,

A bit sad, indeedy. We're happy to have spotted the mastered landscape and are intrigued by the palace. We wish you well with the poem (^v^)

Cheerie,
F & (^v^)

(^v^) -- Robot ladies!

Greetings, John, We enjoyed reading this poem, although we found it rather sad (*v*) Now, 'the Pitti Palace'; this is somewhere in Italy, perhaps? We like 'the mastered landscape' so soon after the unlearned habit of smiling. The grey is significant too. We're a little stuck on what N is unable to h...

(^v^) -- Uh-huh, uh-huh...

Greetings, John!

Well, hooray for the seed. We wonder what it might become. For some reason, a potato plant comes to mind (^v^)

Cheerie,
F & (^v^)

Ooh yes, Kate Bush, so pretty here (^v^)
And now... Yazz!



She has excellent energy (^v^)

Greetings, John, We just have time for a little comment this evening, before snackage and bed. This seems to be a pocket poem much in favour of the seed, hooray. We wonder about 'Out of'; might the seed grow 'Within'? Sorry if we've misunderstood! '[T]he pristine architecture' is a surprise and a de...

(^v^)

Thank-coos, John. Now, here's what we call a high-vis jacket...!



(^v^)

Greetings, John, This appears to be another night poem of sorts. For members of the Coo-mmunity, it captures what can be a vulnerable time on waking, trying to make sense of things. We're slightly reminded of Yeats, with things falling apart, trust in this instance (*v*) S2 intrigues for its introdu...
