I’m so happy that I followed your blog for I find this blog is a very good place for learning my English writing…I’m a Malay from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and my English is poor…especially now that I’m trying to write poem…
I will try to find time to look into all your postings…
…and thank you so much for following me back…and please do not hesitate to give a true comment..I will very much appreciate it… 🙂
Happy learning to write better in English, Katrina!
I would like to inform you that there are plenty of tips and guidance on my website to assist you in your journey of becoming a better writer and poet. All the best!
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving some likes. 🙂
I have randomly sampled some of your poetry. I am not going to pretend to understand all your verses. But that shouldn’t stop me from continuing to look. I liked The Burn
I thought of the possibility when I read you are a Manchester native. Was hoping we could get past any hard feelings. Of course as a Yank I am a Johnny-come-lately to what has become the best rivalry in the EPL. If it is any consolation I do believe the wrong side won the Revolution of 1776. Too bad about Mancini, he always struck me as a class act. I am really enjoying your blog. All the best…Ron.
Nice blog… Although I’m not a poet, I love poems… I found this blog thanks to Mr. Brace…
Feel free to check mine if you like normal articles… I’m not a pro though… I write whatever comes up in my mind…
Hello BS, I am always happy to meet and follow a fellow blogger. I like the variety of ideas you offer in your blog.
Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry.
I spent my youth growing nimble scaling the quiet of the river’s edge. The lake then absorbed my transgressions of discontent and disconnect. A starry balm, humid and fishy. Now, when I visit family, I walk the canal….a watery bridge. My guess is you are a “transplant” to Rochester?
So glad to find your poetry, Ron. Sometimes I feel as if I’m reading a translation from another language… but as accurate as the needle pinpoints of acupuncture and the sensuality of the smells of childhood.
Yes I am a transplant. Spent most of my life getting from one place to another, first as a child without a choice then as an adult out of habit. I claim to be from Minnesota when asked but that’s just a choice I made because being a nowhere man is, well, nowhere. Interesting that you are a native of Rochester…if only we could fully grasp just how small this world really is, more of us might take better care of it. Thank you for being so generous in your comments.
Many thanks. The Symphony in question is Vaughan Williams’s Ninth – which I’ve recently realised is a masterpiece – it sort of links to the subject matter, I guess! Anyway, delighted you liked it. I shouldn’t plug, but I’ve got a book with a NY press, near to you – BlazeVox – it’s called “Brains Scream at Night”.
Always plug! I am very familiar with Blazevox. I will look for your book and let you know what I think…I’m guessing I will like it. Do you have a website? BTW thanks for following mine.
No – I should have a website but don’t! I usually direct people to either BlazeVox or the English publisher Knives, Forks and Spoons – where I’ve got three books: “Cabin Fever”, “Falling Off” and (this year) “The DIversification of Dave Turnip”:
I just read your poem “The Weight Of Night” over at Vita Brevis and I just wanted to say that you really captured the weight of night in that poem. The descriptions you used are so dead on from deep within the soul! Well done!
Thank you. It’s a dark poem written about one of those nights when the world seems to be a conspiracy. Thankfully those nights don’t come along too often. When they do I find peace in poetry and a wee dram of wine.
