Is it just me or is this rude and naughty?

Don't listen to him.

Oh and I like the poem as well. I too trip up over 'menstruating' - I see your reason for putting it in and maybe the in-your-face effect is deliberate.

Has this changed since the first time you posted it? I still like it a lot.

This is your best yet. I love the idea of barely being there, just being a space defined by the environment around you. And you end it light-heartedly. Bonza. (but a typo - 'estuary' - don't worry about it).

Keep the tether - like it or not, it's part of the deal.

I don't understand what you mean by 'your life is for seen' - do you mean 'foreseen'?

I like the almost concrete verse when you discuss the cuve on the neck. A few typos though - 'breath' not 'breathe', 'discribe' not describe' - but these are merely cosmetic. Deeply sexy.

Thank God. Now you can get out at talk to people. Or at least to the birds or soemthing.

It's always bad when the weather hurts. Hwat have you done to make the sky jealous?

Beautiful. And full of that awful hollowness of loss. But should it be Paris in the last line?
Re: Velvetted by knickytoy	26-Sep-02/2:16 AM
This is both funny and sexy. Love it. I'm looking forward to your poem about cheese.

Highly comic and no doubt true.
Re: Conversations with a Clock II by morffrom	26-Sep-02/7:17 AM
Very good! Funny. You're worryingly preoccupied with clocks though. You want to watch that. (Geddit? Oh ha ha). I like this very much.
Re: Disbeliever by ThoughtfulSoul	26-Sep-02/7:21 AM
I think I would lose the last couplet and the word 'fiction' and then this would stand as a perfect statement.

Offices the world over have just been witness to this same conversation. Why does it matter that the boss is gay? All bosses are like this.

A proper synaesthetic riff - great rhythms
Re: WLPAN by Nicholas Jones	25-Sep-02/3:51 AM
Why do all the best Welsh poets write in English even when, like R.S. Thomas, their first langauge is Welsh? It's a vexed question - I looked at this in my thesis on Edward Thomas and couldn't really come up with one answer. The Welsh language is under siege, in literature at least, and has adopted a very insular mentality. The eisteddfod is such a retrograde institution, but what is the way forward? I like your poem. Speaks the very small bit of Welsh in me.

Thanks especially for the car park attendant's jacket. This is a very warm poem despite the coldness of its subject.
