Lol... okay
You sorry ass

I can’t. ♥️ I take it back

I can just see this stretched out over a wall somewhere. . .beautiful work, nomoth.

Thanks so much  A....of course that would be wonderful but i did see it as book form. Am still working on putting all this together thematically somehow...my camera's coming next week as it was delayed cos of new Brexit deporting rules or something..new laptop will have to wait. coming slowly but still need to work on the writing.

I don't know, nomoth. The only thing your writing may need is a technical touch in regards to grammer, etc. You're always metaphorically astute, so the content doesn't need any revising, or it may not be your voice in the end.

Your number's on speed-dial for when I'm readyx

I'm here my friend.

love those last two lines especially. I have to work hard with your poems nomoth { :)) } but it's always worth it.

Thanks Josh, so appreciated and YES I know...every time I try to simplify or approach writing with something easier for the reader to understand,  I imagine untying a very large tangled knot if that makes...I am still maybe too comfortable listening to that voice in my head, who I like but is very weird and has a life of its own.

Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement.

One of my favourite notions about poetry (maybe from Seamus Heaney or Paul Muldoon, can't remember) is that poetry, done expertly, is like a surgical operation so finely done that the 'patient' (reader) does not even realise they have been operated on. I think that's where you're heading.  :))

Thanks again Josh.  big yes...I absolutely love that.

Don't be easy to understand like prose, like an instruction manual, I think, my friend, I wish I could create alchemy at such depth, be honest and haunted, so that we can be honest and haunted in resonance. Your metaphors are exquisite, there is no more apt word. My heart ached with longing and loss. Your writing is like music.

fooff!! :)

edit: you know you do...enough people tell you. way beyond me my friend.

You really need to approach the (North) Arts Council of England about getting these published! Like an exceptional film, they linger after the credits have rolled. Rob

If you know a man who knows a man!
Literally a 100 things to do before i get anywhere nr that level.

Always a frigging big kick in the ass to hear these things especially from you Rob. Thanks.

Stanza 2 - replace the comma between "gelt; their" with a semicolon.

Stanza 3 - an emdash after "early" would suffice.

The writing is phenomenal. You just have too many statements going on in your sentences.

Yep. on em like rash....as soon as i redo my others :)
big thanks Johnny as always.

This is absolutely beautiful 🖤 thank you for this.

Thank you so much :)

This was really good! Awesome job!
