The Crowd Went Mild.
The crowd went mild. It’s a great line and it’s true. I’m a big boxing fan and go to a lot of the big, and not so big, fights. Back in the day, which...

Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2015
Not at all, but you don't want repetition. In the second line you have the word "air" twice and only five words apart. The fourth line has "with every" twice, once again only a few words apart. It may seem petty but these are the things that stop...

Ive said this many times and i'll probably say this many times again. I dont do Poetry. But when you read something this good, you suddenly like poetry. There's almost something Shakespearean about it ( if thats even a word) but its good. Really...

Hi Stephen Fisher a very big warm welcome to the site. I like this, it's a good start to something much longer.
I notice that you say it's unedited, that's good as you do need to go back and sort out some typos and some grammatical errors...

Posted on Tue, 22 Apr 2014
Oh Bee! What a problem to have, all these people calling you darling. Now, as you know, I come from somewhere that you know, so there are rules to this thing.
1. I ALWAYS call someone ( female) "Darling." Saves so much time trying to...

Hi Mate, loved this. Brought back memories. Mr Whittle with his oversized slipper, Mrs Harvey with the palm of her hand, Mr Bush with his cane, Mr Charman with the board rubber. I was hit with all of these. I can smile and laugh about it, but...

Great story Itane Vero, I was routing for him right from the start. You created a character that the reader can relate to and sympathise with very quickly. Maybe a part 2?

Liked this Ed. You open with drifting icy kapok. Great imagery that sets the scene for the rest of the poem. Trees looking like fairy cakes, weeping cars... whats not to like? Great poem mate.
