"Beautiful Dreamer"

2012-10-08
I have several grandchildren of varying ages and yet they still amaze me in so many different ways,but as babies they were all so beautiful and I could spend hours just watching them as they slept your poem brought all this back to me so I thank you not only for the poem but also for the memories~Graham.


Shadows

2012-10-08
Shadows as fascinating as they are frightening and the poem itself has a sombre side I feel yet draws the reader into it,interesting as well as entertaining~Graham.


Conundrum

2012-10-08
Excellent and is life itself not a conundrum I once saw a cottage with this written above the door while on a country walk and often wondered if the owners were referring to the cottage or their lives within just a thought~Graham.


BOOKS ARE NOTHING TILL THEY ARE READ!

2012-10-07

Brez

2012-10-07
All I can say is excellent on what is almost a history lesson or maybe a journey in time of what most take for granted but your exploits certainly prove otherwise and for that I thank you for the enlightenment and may I add an enjoyable one~Graham.


Night walk

2012-10-07
I really enjoyed your descriptive thoughts I could almost smell the wet moss on dank cold walls and cobbles, gardens at night can be creepy places causing the imagination to run riot at the best of times though I would probably venture only into my own during the hours of darkness~Graham.

They say hope runs eternal I just hope they are right for its just another stepping stone in what we hope is the right direction we are heading, Quite the inspirational poem~Graham.


THERE IS NO GLOREY IN WAR!

2012-09-30
The only glory was in the minds of young men on the eve of war Ken and I doubt if that has changed one little bit even in todays climate but that soon changes when the reality hits home,its just about pain,tears,loss of friends and loved ones who cannot be replaced,bits of metal as a reminder? I think the scars will do that,a very thought provoking write Ken~Graham.


Gallery of Dreams

2012-09-30
The poem itself has a dream like quality about it, the art work is certainly brought to life but then I would not expect less from this trip through the ages it has indeed stirred memories of Italy for me at least~Graham :-))))))


Environmental Pollution

2009-07-25
Here,Here, and I could'nt agree more, a subject on which I could rant for hours, this should be on notice boards everywhere,well done indeed~Graham.

Absolutely brilliant and runs with such pace a breath of fresh air on a dreary morning well done indeed.


Bad weather

2009-05-21
Some say the weather is an english pastime as it seems to invade so much of our conversation but then it is so unpredictable I fear its bound to, I like some what the style in which you have put this together somewhat tongue in cheek and yet we can all relate to a pleasure to read.


Millions for Defense

2009-05-21

An artist in his own right none the less and reading this creativity runs in the family,nicely written piece.


Waiting

My mother used to say a watched pot never boils but in truth it does eventually, it just seems to take forever,I think your poem emphasises the point very well~Graham.


A Time for Joy

If Life Were An Open Book

2009-02-17
Well as far as imagination goes you should be on the top shelf! this is like a breath of fresh air so its unlikely the dust will get a chance to settle, very cleverly put together and asks more questions then most will have answers for~Graham.

A Cratered Life

2008-05-29
Such sadness for me is always difficult to read, but I feel your grief none the less, your anguish in these words is a tangible thing, its to soon to speak of time being the healer that it is, grief is a process that has to run its course, I feel your loss deeply but my wishes and prayers are now with you Kathy, may God grant you safe passage through the times ahead~Graham.

The Borrowing

2008-05-21
This is truly a beautiful piece of poetry that sways and dances its way from begining to end, a pure delight to read.


Murder of Crows

2008-05-20
Interesting as well as entertaining, there seem to be plenty of dark undertones to this a "Murder Of Crows" in itself becomes a magnet, I also like the descriptive quality of it, almost brooding, a pleasure to read.
