If you've turned your keyboard green there must be something very wrong with your genito-urinary tract. Take yourself to the clinic at once. What was the point of this?

I don't think this is sweet, it's a harsh and bitter - and it's good because of that. Very psychologically aware of what happens between two people in an unequal relationship. Yes indeedy.

This convinces me. It's funny, then it's funny again, then it's hollow and sad. Wahey!

Yep that last line is a killer. Belies everything that goes before it and is good for that reason.

I like that Sara Teasdale poem, very concise and true. Thanks Lenore! It's what we should all be aiming for - take note Kristen!

I like your central image and I think if you concentrated on that without resorting to explanation e.g. 'It's the same with life' this would eb much better. Trust your images to be themselves, you shouldn't have to spell it out. You could have said the same with far more impact in a third of the lines. The ending has a gracefulness that I like though.

#50 absolutely rocks. These are great. They could have been either flippant or maudlin, but they tread the perfect line in between. 10/10

Now you can see why Plato got those terrible headaches. I wish my sane mind could resist this, but I think it's great.

What you did for Freud in 'The title is over-used!' you do for the dear Lord here. Marv'lous.

I think i can see what you're getting at Mr Horus - this big wheel ride down Mt Baldy past L Cohen I can see - but I don't see how all these bits fit together as one poem. I think a lot of your poems are part of the same patchwork of thoughts and crazinesses that run through your head and for that reason are all of a piece and wildly variant at the same time. You do mad things to my mind, my friend. I think I'm getting close to what you're on about and then it veers off at the last minute. Burp.

Section 3 is pretty damn amazing. The rest of this is great too - you are a psychosexual maelstrom, and no mistake. All power to whichever elbow most suits.

See you tomorrow!

Yes my email is posted - send me a message if you like. I'll sort out a little file of things for you tomorrow if you'd like it. Right now I have to go - I'm at work and work's ended, so I'm off for some food. But thanks for all your support, it's great.

If I ever get published, I'm getting you to write the blurb on the back.

This is pure escapism, but it is lovely and wistful

This always seems to happen...I really like the first two stanzas of this, I like the structure that reverses itself and some of your descriptions (desecrations?) are spot on - Family, for instance, and Alzheimer's. It's powerful stuff. But then it just seems to go mad and I lose interest. Sorry.

I could not resist the whole canoe/pepper/pea brain moment...how delicious

But it's going off to its death! How cruel!

I like this - it's good to see old forms being used, and the meditation on love is also a very fitting thing for a sonnet. The 'to've' I don't like - shoe-horning it in to keep the metre - but apart from that this is really good.

It's an interesting angle, but the u's are horrible. So is 'million/billion years' - decide which.
