Read me,
read me,
don’t turn the page and leave me.
I desperately crave
your undying attention.
Welcome gratification,
too good to even mention.
Daubing my soul
across an empty wall.
Many inane, unread words
in semi-literate scrawl.
Adulation
with frustration,
always wanting so much more.
Another daily offering
from a mad poetic whore.
So please come along
and join in with the party.
Plain speaking,
bullshit free
and nothing too damn arty.
Release on me some feedback
and comments full of cheer.
Or if it’s just not good enough,
a sign to say you’re here.
Kudos to all the poets then
and words with a such a bite.
I trust I always entertain,
for that is why I write.

Found you. Now my missuse is calling me to come to the table.
Thanks. Let me know where you post these days and I’ll stop by.

Love the poem! HELLO to both of you!
Hi CIndy, I too am glad to see both of you here. I’m going to be around Myspace more. Just to read. I got so fed up last year, hence setting this up but I do still have a few friends who are hanging in on the old site.
Nick
Wow… Beautiful!
Many thanks indeed. I am coming over to your blog in a bit to have a look 🙂

Hi there, just been directed to your web site by my friend Rich Wiltshir and thought that I would hi, hi.
I also occasionally write poetry and have attempted to write a book but to now avail.
Do you have any tips?
Thanks
Ade
Thanks for stopping by. He’s a great guy – Rich. The only things I work to is to keep writing new stuff and each piece, I find, is better than the last. Then after time, you can go back to older stuff and revise it. I’ve decided the only time a piece won’t need editing further is when it’s published.
I found in fiction, writing short stories is a good start. Don’t think I could have tackled the book without doing that. Keep going to Writing Groups and getting feedback, as long as you have thick skin and can take on board criticism.

this is an entertaining one, sir!
Many thanks. I try.
