This is much better. Traditional but well done. I don't hold the 'garbage' comment against you.
on a genius by moonUnit 16 Oct 2002, 2:29 AM
This is very direct, though I don't really understand the first/second love part - is that you? Or someone else? Anyway, you should forget this person and move on, you'll be happier.

Top stuff. Some chaps like to keep their dry goods dry but they're jsut fooling themselves. Also, I like your metal and bluegrass tastes. The banjo is a fine fine instrument and I may work on a way to cross-breed bluegrass and metal- metalgrass? Anyway, it would be fantastic.

This is beautiful. The rhythms are languorous like a long winter night, which I suppose is just what you meant. 'loose and smiling' is he? I just bet he is.

Yes are good at sens eof palce, and tying it in with personal reminiscence to come up with something really resonant. Really strong.
on Breeze by Nicholas Jones 15 Oct 2002, 7:32 AM
very suggestive and neutral (in a good way)
on simple silence by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:38 AM
Oh yes, this is great. pared down to the finest possible point.
on unlucky by rosiebailey 15 Oct 2002, 7:52 AM
You could at least have rhymed the third couplet! You have an unfortunate life. Are you still a man?
on our morning bed by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:54 AM
This is great. I'm really enjoying your stuff, Daniella. The fragility of these images catches at the throat.
on where once by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:56 AM
I like the transformation imagery and the idea of life changing and the constant drive of fertility.
on cornered invitation by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 7:58 AM
Very good - really rather erotic, i find, in a blitzed out way. Should 'them on the corner' be 'they'? Never mind. I love the sweat and the flesh of this.

You really know how to write about loss and longing. This one brings back all kinds of lost moments for me and I can feel exactly what you mean. I think your poems are great and this is my favourite.

I like the progression of this from street to street - there's something very solemn about the ending, the seriousness of leisure.

I'm sorry, I don't know enough Spanish (or indeed any Spanish) and so parts of this are completely opaque to me. But then I guess it's not for me, is it Mrs God? How things have blossomed since I've been away! Oh and happy birthday P&K - I turn 29 next week.

If it reminds me of any Beatle it's George - 'Within You Without You', that kind of thing.

It must be strange, knwoing someone who's a victim of this weirdo. Thanks for your comment by the way - I don't know why 'Instructions to a Sculptor' has taken off in the way it has, but it makes me happy!

This is great. The senses are thoroughly stroked and stoked. All this beautiful abundance!
You didn't really need the last bit. It was quite realistically satirical as it was.
on why i look like a man by rosiebailey 15 Oct 2002, 7:49 AM
Rosie - this is the future. Youa re a visionary.
on words our Father by daniella 15 Oct 2002, 8:00 AM
What is the madness? The faith or the doubt of the faith? I don't quite get this.
