Gone away

Of all the poems of yours I have read? , this is probably one of your best in my humble opinion ... its got that something special hun .... I truely loved it and agree with the senitment you expressed ... beautifully writen ... Much Love Jayne x x:)

Hey Gee, I finally caught one of your poems fresh, sorry I've been so preoccupied I have a myriad of messages to catch up on. Good to see you are writing more, I liked this, though you need to put in a sace after each comma, I admit I am weary & it distracted me so I couldn't absorb the poem, but I will be back. Oh & this line probably doesn't need a comma "Speak not ill of the dead", unless you want to are suggestion someone should not speak, but then ill of the dead on it's own sounds a bit odd... All of this to you with a warm smile & too many yawns for this early in the evening here!... weekend, hope in a way there is not much work, but the $ is always good huh! Did I say there were some lovely lines in this poem? I meant to. Cheers my friend, I'll be back when I am not half brain dead. xx Anni~ Anni ~~~ "Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond o

Dear Sir, I hope I don't worry you my Knight as I have "a little bone to pick" with you again, this time and that is the inclusion of 'old quotes' like:- "Speak not ill of the dead" or "De mortuis nil nisi bonum"( I looked it up!!) "It is best to leave sleeping dogs lie" or in Polish " Nie wywoluj wilka z lasu" ( English idiom) because you see I think you could think up something just as good or better and much less flogged, now I really have "put my foot in it" as the saying goes! Haven't I ? Humblest apologies, but I HAD to say it when I felt it. Otherwise it has some lovely lines, the first two I like and lead in so well too, a good way of putting it. When you fix that, the whole concept is a very good one and will earn some stars from me. Sir I request your respectful forgiveness, from your Queen o' the North P.S. Unless you separate those two lines with a gap and state them as an idiom alone, making a point of it.

Yippi, the rewrite is fantastic & I agree with Ann (sorry I was so exhausted last comment, it hardly makes sense), (trying to squeeze Neo time in instead of sleeping!). That very comment occurred to me & I was too tired to put it here diplomatically, but Ann has done so with regal nobility & you my lovely knight are the star of the court today! Cheers~ Anni ~~~ "Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond o

Kind Sir prithee accept this scarf, covered in stars as a token of my admiration for your mortal mission, from the Queen, this queen, not feeling she deserves such a title, it is just a bit of fun arising out of the poem about the court jester by Geezer everyone! I would only wish to be somebodies queen, and that in the spirit kind of way. I take my leave with a smile Ann of Norway

But I am not so prim and proper ( oh goodness gracious me no heaven forbid), I surprise myself sometimes when I comment and think, is that me, it is here in an arena where one is under the magnifying glass that maybe brings out a correctness, but believe me here I am freer than anywhere here as I have NO ONE looking over my shoulder correcting or criticising what I say, as I HAVE been used to all my life, and that is pure joyful freedom. SO wait for it i shall let down my....and show you I can be free and frank if I feel like it, perhaps I cannot feel like it, if there is nothing to surprise, or no one to surprise then I am not provoked enough to do so? I never was one who wished to follow-the norm,wear the Correct clothes, do the correct things, I don't like hotels as my parents told me not to do this, not to do that when we once visited one , so I was not interested in going in at all. We are a spontaneous family, especially considering that my father was born in 1898!! The Victorian age. it is perhaps the English language that also gives that impression to you there in USA! I use the goodness gracious to provoke too, I don' use that in my very day speech unless I am trying to be amusing. And then you call me queen and that is enough to awake the theatre of the past is it not fair sir? I react to such in like manner. If, as you don't, you knew me you would not judge me as one who has followed the pattern of CORRECT, in my life, but then that's a private story is it not? I enjoy language with colour, or style, or something beyond the daily banter. So I revel in it here like the flourish of a quill filled with ink. Gees Geezer, oh I beg your pardon, Sir Geezer, you got me blabbering, or blethering here so I had better put a sock i it now!!! Yours with a flourish of my left hand Ann of Norway.
