Thank you, Dave! I don\'t mean to be rude. Just don\'t know what to say most of the time. Feel more comfortable with/in my poems. And here\'s a quotation I like: A poem should not mean. But be. (Archibald McLeish)

Read most of your posts here - can\'t quite come to grips with what I want to tell you - other than: Although radically different to my stuff, I like but don\'t know how to comment on your little enigmas (which is OK, as you don\'t respond to other\'s commentary anyway).
Keep \'em coming I shall continue to at least read \'em.
Take care.

Thomas and Jane

Seems that you write much and often about death and also (in \"Angels Fly\") about loneliness and separation from family and children. You do this in a positive and poetic way I think.
Good write

(and MTV reigns supreme
no music, just a parade of shame
modernity\'s exploitive morbidity
nihilistically inhumane and insane..)

I liked this brief poem; read it several times. I think it is a fine example of the \"slice of life\" or \"snapshot\" form of literature, like that of earlier modern poets. Hope to see others soon.

I love write\'s like this, thanks for sharing
(a sombre ode
to our beloved blighty\'s
dispiritingly, deserted
coastlines:
\'What remains
is the click, click, click
of the pebbles
in the shallow waters\')

Some day
Norman Flagtea said:
I meant this poem to have an open ending. Obviously the writer of the letter (male? female?) knew the recipient well many years ago. How does he/she feel about it? Does he/she like to be reminded of the past? Is he/ she glad about the letter? Will he/ she answer, even try to meet again? How would you feel? How would you react?

I know this is humorous, but haven\'t enough knowledge of the culture to figure it all out.
Any chance of an explanation?
