I think it means lovely poetry from you. I “see” this piece and its question at the end has me thinking..


When The Room Fell Silent...( RIP Kip❤❤❤)

2025-08-15
So sad to read this, a loss for Poetbay. Zoya was always generous with her encouragement and friendship.

I really enjoyed this and the weather concept, you may touch down on Poetbay anytime.

As you always do, I am there. The final stanza seems of realism, hope and memories. Much enjoyed this piece.


Reflections IV

Lawrence has put it so well. Forgetting is the hardest, but you’ve taken from that and built on it.


Reflections III

2025-03-16
Good, is a good place to be and “ in my view” is really what counts, bravo.


Well-being in alive seeing

2025-03-12
I always enjoy your work and this resonates with me, just what I need.


Days Move Along

There were some hilarious lines here:” as a tortoise on Valium” I was smiling through this read, even though it’s seems as though there is a deeper meaning.


A Bit Perplexing

2025-03-08
Guilt? People are strange and clearly you recognised that .


HAPPY WOMENS DAY BY ANN WOOD

And the very same to you Ann!


Reflections II

The fact you got there says a lot about you and your resilience and you probably wouldn’t be writing for us all to read and enjoy. It’s International Women’s Day today, so go you!


No Worries

2025-03-01
Go you! Keep your independence as long as you are able. You have a great mindset. You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone, but the fact you did is just you being nice and informative.


THE PAST

Your words are suitability marked Ken!

Sad observations, but you did see.


THE DAWN HAS BROKEN

Let’s have more of these days Ken, I’ve seen one or two lovely sunrises.

FREE FORM POETRY

This piece tells of the joys of PoetBay, the choices we all have, whether it is to read or write. Keep doing both Alan.


What Is This Moment?

2025-01-24
I liked the momentum of this, the content is a little familiar!

A lovely Haiku, I like the colour.


WHILE ON THE OUTSIDE

2025-01-14
I’m with you inside and outside Ken. Long may your mind remain youthful.


Being dis-covered

2025-01-06
I read your work and feel a calm. Love the line,” The waves of experience rise and fall.”


Smash me please

2025-01-02
The title drew me in, I wasn’t disappointed, I feel the longing and the ending fits the piece perfectly.


Almost Diamonds

2025-01-02
I missed this, love the analogies, much enjoyed.


Another Year

We have nothing if we don’t have hope.

Just beautiful!


HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR

A very Happy New Year to you too Ken.


New Year

2024-12-30
You set the scene beautifully, I’d be very happy with food, the final sadness seems it maybe tinged with grief.


SEESANS GREETINGS

2024-12-24
Thanks Ken and the very same to you.


Happy Christmas everyone

2024-12-19
Have a fabulous Christmas Alan, keep writing in the new year.


a poem for Lou

2024-12-08
A fabulous tribute, I love his voice and Walk on the Wild Side reminds me of good times back in the day. The final stanza made me smile, in a good way.


The Quiet Conqueror

2024-12-06
Just love the analogy here and sometimes I need the power of perseverance.


awakening (haiku cluster)

2024-11-21
Five lovely Haiku’s, it’s very apt here at the moment, I’m shivering. My favourite is the fourth, I have the visual.


TWO ODD BODS (Additans)

2024-11-12
Somehow the most unlikely friendship's are struck and survived, well portrayed Ken.


Gardner

So sad, his legacy lives on. It always feels lonely somehow, when a mainstay in life departs. The four sided hat was just him, my father used to wear a beret, strange what stays with us.


TRUMP - WINS - NOW THE NIGHTMEAR BEGINS!

2024-11-06
Hear hear Ken!


The Saddle

2024-10-28
I enjoyed this, I wonder how we got to where we are, the reflection. You've lived a life and it's yours to own. I'm with Alarian, get that life story written for us to enjoy, you have all the skills.


THANKS FOR READING

2024-10-22
You keep writing Alan and we'll keep reading. Consider yourself a writer!


jester’s truth

2024-10-20
A great piece, it unfortunately made me think of war which made me like the final two lines even more.


A POEM

2024-10-16
Hi Ken, you're so right!


My bay

2024-10-09
I like the idea of a mermaid on the bay! I'm sitting here enjoying your show.


Your Heart

2024-10-08
Impressive, good you gave yourself a challenge, it paid off.


moth in my empty room

2024-10-08
This is just beautiful and painful at he same time. I am so sorry for your loss, take care of yourself.


verse on a hill

2024-10-05
I love the rise and fall of this piece and it feels tinged with sadness and perhaps a what might have been.


News About My Father

2024-10-04
As long as you are at peace with yourself your decision will be the right one.


Disconnect

2024-09-13
Because it defines you? Not wanting to let go? Age and too much thinking maybe?


DOUBLE VISION

2024-09-07
I have to smile at this, as I've just visited my optician today and informed my right eye needs "refurbishing" good luck for your forthcoming left! Great title.


Desert

2024-09-07
Drawn in by the first few lines, then enjoyed the unpredictability of the rest of the piece through to the descriptive fitting final two lines.


Passing

2024-07-25
A beautiful emotive piece.


Fourteen More Lines on Whisky

2024-07-16
Unfortunately I have whisky overindulgence in my youth, haven't touched it since, but as Lawrence mentioned, Islay comes highly recommended by friends of mine. The last two words are just right.
