Nicholas Monson on Walk in a dream (an ode to self help poems) by Bachus 4 Dec 2002, 4:50 AM

The South Park School of Poetry. Quite enchanting

Nicholas Monson on Feelings Inside by confuzdlilgirl 4 Dec 2002, 4:47 AM

Doesn't have the quality of some of your other poems. Metre is erratic. The rhymes could be improved. This is a draft to work on. Come on. You can do it.

Nicholas Monson on Remember-me (an ode to those dropped off at the clinic) by Bachus 4 Dec 2002, 4:42 AM

Some misspellings here and a few creaky rhymes. But it has a faux naif appeal. (sorry to sound pretentious). The PS works well and has the ring (and sting) of truth.

INTRANSIT on nothing, as today by <~> 4 Dec 2002, 4:41 AM

I'd say you were rightfully movedd.

INTRANSIT on Poem For Times Such As These by Nicholas Jones 4 Dec 2002, 4:37 AM

ok then, how about this: thanks foor fucking up my only form of escapism! or, hows about we all ship over to iraq and put ourselves in the line of fire for a "good cause" instead of writing poetry that accomplishes NOTHING!!

Nicholas Monson on The ONE by Eline 4 Dec 2002, 4:35 AM

Is this a poem for Jesus? Very Biblical all this business of "chariot of light".

INTRANSIT on want of warmth by <~> 4 Dec 2002, 4:30 AM

Nicholas Monson on Ode to a Depleted Uranium Shell by Yardbird 4 Dec 2002, 4:24 AM

Very clever. Very thought-provoking.

Nicholas Monson on Ode to the Severn Bridge by Gwyrfab 4 Dec 2002, 4:22 AM

Heh and who gets more money per capita from Westminster AND Brussels - the English or the Welsh? Come on, you are above this petty nationalism. You are a good writer with some sensible targets. Hating the English is so parochial.

Nicholas Monson on i got a really big fan by Flattop 4 Dec 2002, 4:19 AM

Wonderful light verse

Nicholas Monson on The Dreamer by Nicholas Jones 4 Dec 2002, 4:16 AM

Quite lovely. I forgive you all the inexact rhymes

Nicholas Monson on Suburban Horror by phbiscuit 4 Dec 2002, 4:14 AM

I love this. Sole flaw is the plural on speak (s). Could you re-work the line? Something like "Retreating when my neighbor cares to speak"

Nicholas Jones replying on Elegy for Lonnie Donegan by Nicholas Jones 4 Dec 2002, 4:09 AM

I hope you realise I stole all the best lines. Don't give me too credit.

Nicholas Monson on All is Just a Crush by confuzdlilgirl 4 Dec 2002, 4:07 AM

Quite brilliant. Beautifully composed

Nicholas Monson on THE MISSING HEART by Prince of Void 4 Dec 2002, 4:06 AM

This is not a sonnet. Sonnet has a strict format. Re categorise it

Nicholas Monson on Surreal... by Yardbird 4 Dec 2002, 4:03 AM

This is very funny. You started to lose me though towards the end. And I live only half a mile from Fulham FC of which you spoke. What would our friends in the US make of your refenrences? It should be read by Richard E Grant in the manner of his brilliant performance in Withnail and I

Nicholas Monson on the girl what gave scott the look by UAFANTHORPEY 4 Dec 2002, 3:42 AM

Dear Mr Ufanthorpey, I contend that it is only in male dreams that women are quite so carnal and horny when gazing at a stranger. But I could be wrong.

Nicholas Monson on Elegy for Lonnie Donegan by Nicholas Jones 4 Dec 2002, 3:36 AM

This is beautifully written. But it leans more to prose than verse. What the hell, I enjoyed it.

Nicholas Monson on On waiting to pick up my daughter on Tuesday by poetandknowit 4 Dec 2002, 3:21 AM

Dear Sir or should I call you by your abbreviation "PK"? Thank you for your response to my comment. You have a great talent. The problem for you is that those who have read your work, (I read about four in the Best File) notice when you are not giving your all. Have you a collection you can send me by e-mail? I am a new member of this circle. And yesterday I submitted three poems which I would be most grateful for you to have a peek at. One is written in the romping style of Hilaire Belloc - best to be recited probably - Tribute to A friend. The other two are Hattie and Party Mugging (Again). May not be your sort of thing but please have a look. Best wishes, Nicholas
