(^v^) -- We are not sure whether this will be visible to everyone, but it is Little Boots' 'Remedy'.

Thank-coos and ta muchly, John and MacPhil . John, thanks again for the reading! I'd always wanted to write a poem about pterodactyls in dactyl meter (^v^) (W.-B. approves!) Great to see Susan McLean there too, and also Christine Pennylegion, whom I e-met recently; she seems very pleasant. And Jerom...

Hooray! Ta muchly, MacPhil . Sorry I'm late to respond; it was my birthday yesterday! I was quite tired after all the celebrations, especially as I had a fairly intense hospital appointment on Friday, but can't complain. I'm glad the poem found favour at CB 🐗👍 Bw, Fliss - - - Greetings, John , and t...

Greetings John, We like your salutation to MacPhil (^v^) Members of the Coo-mmunity enjoyed reading this poem. I think we mentioned we came through Tours on a family holiday; it had been a long drive from wherever we came off the ferry to the converted barn Mr T had booked for a fortnight. He was so...

(^v^) -- With apologies for another quick visit; we had a tiring hospital trip today.

Greetings,

Members of the Coo-mmunity are happy to report that we have a new sonnet in THT today: http://www.thehypertexts.com/Current_an ... Issues.htm

Thank-coos to one John Isbell for reading (^v^)

Bw,

Greetings John, Now, a clock with birds, how pleasant! This is a very interesting poem. The kidnapping episode is rather shocking; we wonder how it panned out. We're glad you were able to help and to recall the student's fearlessness. Nothing to suggest at this stage, but if we think of anything we'...

(^v^) -- Selecta!

(^v^) -- Yeah!

Excellent choice, MacPhil!

I completed a copyediting project today, so I had one of these as a special treat: https://www.lindt.co.uk/lindt-lindor-milk-truffles-200g

That's one truffle, by the way, not an entire box!

Another quick visit from the Coo-mmunity; two deadlines this week, one almost met (^v^)

You're on fire, MacPhil! :lol: Hearty congrats on these latest successes; I enjoyed reading them all. And it's always great to read about the biscuit factory, naturally 🍪 Have you ever written a poem about the biscuit factory? Bw, Fliss Cheers Fliss. Good question. I've written a few foodie poems. ...

Woo-hoo! Thank-coo! (^o^)

We remember now, the links included my HyperTexts page and the Showcase section of my website with all its interviews, including with one John Isbell (^v^)

Cheerie,

Choon! (^v^)

Just a quick visit tonight, as we're finalising a copyediting project this weekend (*v*) (serious)

Yes, hooray for John and D. He's on a writing course, I recall; I ought to have remembered, as I wrote him a reference! I was surprised he asked me, but I was able to link to a few things that found favour with the uni admins (^v^) (W.-B. is pleased)

Many thanks Fliss. The biscuit tin was empty today Thankfully
MrsMacCook baked a walnut loaf

Whelks, MacPhil. But, empty biscuit tin?! This is terrible! Hooray for Mrs MacCook and the walnut loaf!

Congrats to our John Isbell and Daniel Kemper, who have both been published in Amethyst recently 🥳 Here's John's poem, with apologies for the late posting: https://amethystmagazine.org/2023/09/19/origami-a-poem-by-john-claiborne-isbell/ And here is Daniel's, published today: https://amethystmagazine...

So you have, MacPhil!

Great to read everything; of course I well recall 'A never-ending want for sky' and its journey. Always good to be reminded of the biscuit factory

(^v^) -- Rave on!

Ah yes, I remember it now, John. It's interesting to think of the chap knowing only his brain. We wonder who has provided information about his body, as he seems to know a few things about it. And he knows weather too (*v*) I particularly like his memory of his past life, which brings to mind many o...

Greetings, John,

This is an ekphrastic prose poem, yes? We're trying to remember the artwork and failing, oops, boops. In the meantime, we appreciate the gawping birds (^o^)

Cheerie,
F & (^v^)

(*v*) -- Yes! ... Yes! ...

We wonder how Lear by Lear might have turned out (^v^)
