This is a lovely piece Strans,

I'd love to hear this to music with the voice of Mary Black.

Because i know Belfast i felt the bustle first, then a fall into quiet
as your writing took me to the quiet of the river.

Class work.

Hi Phill,

I feel the strength of this one right from your gut. But it also made me smile.

Our Goverment and banks squandered all our money but, have now decided to give the underprivileged here
FREE CHEESE !! "Whats that about !" I ask .

Keep writing Phil, It entertains plus  keeps us sane lol

Well done Sir,

I gave you a comment on the tube. You have a grand voice with tones of Elvis i felt at times.

May i suggest this to you ! My brother in Law doesn't like to be seen on camera on the tube so
he points his camera at a lighting candle lol sounds wacky, but it works . It is better then a dark screen.

This is not meant to be a criticism, just an observation.

Very well done.

Its a lovely recording Phil.


I very much enjoyed it. I also had another wee listen to Old Blues song. I always liked that song  sooo much.

I never know why it holds a feeling of nostalgia for me !

Both excellent !

Theres a litany of repossessions  here on houses and cars, Both business and personal.

Good concept.

lol lol lol


Very funny and clever. I do believe theres lots of stuff been lost here on Chordie in translation.

I have had American friends here who asked while out among people " Where was her fanny bag ? "
Did she get some looks from the people around here. lol we call this type of bag  a bum bag !!

Her word here is a rude word, as you probably are aware of Strans.

Good work, i could hear a country feel to this one  { music wise ]

This one made me laugh Phill,

I'm sure we all can relate to some or most of its contents. This, I thought was a very clever line.

lol

Its my own butt thats needs kicking toots. I am more my own problem then anyones elses.

10 steps forward 20 back.. Its easier sometimes not to have to deal with the whole emotional stuff.

You all have it right in a way. It is about relationships and my hopelessness at trusting another man.

Is it to late for me to be a nun lol where theres none wanted ! Another singing Sister Dominique perhaps  !

Thank you as always, ye are a mighty lot of people to know.

Slan,

I havent posted anything here in ages for lots of reasons. Time being the main reason.
So, heres a self indulgent piece.

She’s waiting for what?

Her thoughts are dappled now
Once clear, so sure, of what?
Life expectation, of one, Him!
It’s not to be, she senses change.

Her  cycle of never achieving
Like a bent spoke in a wheel
Clackety beyond repair, she waits.
  Always waiting, for what?

He gave her hope, a net
To cushion a previous loss,
His reinforcement now
Fraying, she senses change.

Feels it like a second skin
Curses her own sensitivity
Miss direction, actions,
Distraction, Attraction.

No ownership for her love
Seated on her veranda of life,
Her thoughts of Icarus
Keep a distance or get burned,

Reflections now in solitude
Clipped her own wings
Sees life so clearly now
Still she waits, for what?


Thank you as always for taking the time to read.
Old Doll.

Good stuff !

Yes , I am no different , ive been there also.

Its a hard ole road but it paves the way to learning from the experience.

I liken it to a death ! We have to accept and thread our own path with or without.

Very well written piece.

Hello !

I enjoyed your poem. I had visions of The Costa de Morte in Galicia, Spain while reading it.

{ Coast of the Dead] I had the pleasure of spending time there some years ago.
Its a beautiful amazing place, but so many lives have been lost around this coast.

reading your poem had me standing back at Finnisterre. Such a beautiful place with moorish towns.
My childhood friend lives there now.Heres the link for you to enjoy also.

Good poem.

Well done,

Hello Sir,

I recently have been recieving VIRUS EMAILS FROM YOU..

They are both from your Chordie name here as above, and your private email address.

I believe you have been hacked ? Or Phished ? If there the terms to use about this problem !

I strongly suggest you change your password, it may erase the situation for you.

I wish you and yours  a happy day.

Great stuff,

I often thought of this with people who are classed as disabled !

I have profoundly deaf people in my clan. The last wee guy we seen by video when his new
cochlear implants were switched on.. The look on his face was something to behold. He had no fear of it as some do.. Just smiled bigtime as he looked around to see where the sounds were coming from..
How blessed he is to live in these times with this wonderful technology.
How blessed are we to have the  divine experience of speech and  hearing.

Good write, id like to read more.
