Re: Bad Dream.

Yes, everyone's different.
It's accepting those differences that's the key!

Re: Bad Dream.

A door opens and no one closes it. *OK. This say to me "THis is poetry." How does the door open? And if it's thanks to a person, which is typical, do you really need "no one" after? I'm not convinced you've thought through the logic of your sentence here. So there MUST be logic ...

Re: Posting Limit

I'll have to record an audio.
If you do, please record your own version of my favourite joke, it goes something like this, in fact it goes exactly like this:

Nice belt.

I look forward to it.

and then drop the f bomb to express their somewhat tongue-tied limitations as commenters I'll take that on the nose, probably deserved! That said, I'm a huge fan of profanity. I find the snobbishness and pretensions in poetry almost unbearable sometimes, and certain poets do tend to take themselves...

Re: Ex Punk

Thanks guys.

I think you may be right about the punctuation. It seemed to make sense on the page, but when creating graphics, things change.

I'm updating my website and I'm finding creating images allows for much more flexibility in the structure and format, almost like cheating.

Thanks Tony, Having recently gone through the big C process, I felt almost compelled to write about it. Alas David recently wrote a series of poems that did the subject far better justice than i could, so thought I'd try a different approach. The idea was a 'meta poem' really. The fact that the N wa...

Re: Unwrapping the Truth (version 3)

This is probably the first poem that I've read of yours that has actually used some poetic devices. It's a poem!

It has metaphors and everything...

Good work, crap title.

I'm not sure why the man is motherless Caleb, I'm guessing it's not a specific man! but 'man' as a whole, that irrefutable connection to in-utero and the inevitable search for self once that connection is lost? On that note, yes the first stanzas worked well, then you drifted into self=pity... Defi...

Re: Winter-Walk.

Hey T, Enjoyed, echoing a bit of Mr Frost? I think the rhymes work well on the whole. Particularly enjoyed: I know that it’s their delight to speak loudly but not say a word. Captures their essence well! Interesting rhyme with 'causes and 'caws', nifty. My one nit would be the colloquial use of 'any...

Re: Postcard from memory.

An enigmatic piece, which i really enjoyed trying to suss out and will continue to do so, until I've found the version that suits me.

Caleb - That's the kind of poem this is.
There is the door-mat
that night has taken hold of
its antecedents.
Makes no sense though?

Re: Dave of the Antarctic

Thanks guys. I think the idea for the poem was infinitely more fascinating than the execution: A guy suffering from dementia written from the perspective of his wife. His potential journey outside - never to return (captain Oates style) and who's sacrifice it really was? So with that in mind I think...

Re: Who's reading what?

Room to Dream by David Lynch and Kristine McKenna.

A hybrid biography. An interesting approach where McKenna writes a chapter then Lynch answers or corrects it in the next chapter, or at least that's how I'm reading it?

What lies beyond that white picket fence?

Re: Dave of Antarctica

Thanks John,

It's written from the perspective of his wife, if that helps. I did wonder if that was clear enough? Initially I included some clearer signs, but removed them as they weren't really working.
Dave of the Antarctic?
Yes that's better!
