Re: Things I Don’t Remember
Greetings, FLiss and Coo! It is a sad poem, isn't it? I'm trying your usggestion of no comma, though I'm concerned it makes the line ending a bit more abrupt - what do you think? For best, I think of "I remember well," a phrase I am fond of and happy to echo. I am glad to hear the poem sp...

Re: Things I Don’t Remember
Greetings John, This is sad. To begin, here are just two suggestions, to take/toss as usual: S1, L1: best --> most S1, L3: that --> which or delete the comma if the notion of one sun among many is acceptable to you We thought our list might be longer, but it isn't. We enjoyed reading the poem for it...

Re: Over the Hills and Far Away
Greetings, John! The title is familiar to the Coo-mmunity too, possibly from a nursery rhyme. It's pleasant to listen to the wood thrush. Would you consider assigning a gender to the bird, to add to the fairy-tale feel? We're not sure about the repetition 'it, it', unless that's intended as a bird c...

Re: Dialogue Between the Head and Heart
Greetings, John! Here we are again, another little visit. We're glad to have helped with the title. Yes, there is a spectrum of head-health, such that we might recommend focus on a particular case. We continue to enjoy 'detritus' and wish you well with the jackdaw and the lack of complaints there. O...

Re: Dialogue Between the Head and Heart
Greetings, John! Coo and I apologise for our late arrival to this one. Is it accurate to describe it as a prose poem? Our first thought is that 'Dialogue between the Head and the Heart' might be more fitting, but let us see (*v*) Now, 'a fertile kingdom'. This seems to presuppose a degree of head-he...

Slurrrp... slurrrp.... the sound of Coo locating and drinking the discarded tea (^v^) This is an intriguing one, John.

Hi Kris, I've only just seen this. Bearing in mind your health issues, I think it would be better for you not to continue. I've donated in the past, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to do so in the future. Presently I'm bedbound again, which means I'm spending more money on care. And yes, time has...

Re: Cage Street
Greetings, John! Hooray and thank-coos. We've just finished another chapter, so we're on schedule. 'Trump to Tyburn' reminds us of 'Trip to Trumpton', which is pleasant. Bro A has quite a gift for impressions and it isn't unusual for these to become more entertaining than the actors themselves (^v^)...

Greetings, John! We've just completed another chapter (including the dreaded abstract and keywords!), and have popped in for a quick break (^v^) Boo indeed to Trump, another to take to Tyburn. We've definitely seen CSI: Miami , with the super-ginger David Caruso as Horatio Caine. Brother Adrian has ...

Re: Cage Street
Greetings, John! We assume this is from a travel MS. Here we are in McAllen, Texas. The use of 'you' puts us in mind of that computer game we mentioned recently, Japanese Garden for BBC Micro.

Re: A Thing or Two about Love
There is a rustling sound; members of the Coo-mmunity peep through the bushes, beaks appearing to sniff the breeze. Finding it fragrant, they emerge and provide a few words for John, as he has been kind enough to assist with their own poetry lately, in Poetry Park (^v^) We like the title. We have so...
