Congradulations and peace be with you

Confirmation Sunday (Poetry) - 5/13/2013 11:11:10 AM
You've painted a vivid idyll here, Andy, which is often the genuine scene and scenario when such professions of faith and promise are made. I'm an Anabaptist - or Neobaptist - and Simon baptised me in the sea at Lee Abbey himself when no Anglican priest would/could perform the 'rite'. I walked into the sea in the persistantly stormy rain which had bucketed down all day, but came up out of the water in a complete flood of golden light. I shall never forget it - and Heather won't either! As Ed says, God bless her. xx

Andy,
May God wrap her in His loving arms
Bring her joy and peace
May beautiful memories fill your heart
Of your lovely niece
May God bring you comfort
And may He hold your hand
God has everything planned
Someday we'll understand....
My deepest symathy,

Oh you have hit at the core of it Andy, well done.
By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/22/2013 11:52:20 PM
It seems most of us have to work to live, and eat. A very gloomy photograph. Your poem tells it how it is.
By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/20/2013 6:56:02 AM
Made me sad Andy yet it has some truth~! I lost energy reading this and my hope is a good tax return and that I don't slip on the ice here in the USA from the weather we are currently having. I hope I don't have to be taken by ambulance on a stretcher and end up in that wheelchair from your last line,I felt this poem, pull and tug at my stomach.
I am thinking on the positive and hope your plethora of words speak more uplifting to our souls!
You are an amazing writer to make a person feel the soul!

Realise it's all an illusion, a creation the matrix...It's Red pill time buddy...Arrange another 'poets on the doings' with Kate and I'll bring some with me. ;) Well penned Andy.
By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/19/2013 4:41:09 AM
Give us this day our daily pay
No time to dream upon the hay
Or hear our children laugh and play
So sadly true, for so many today.

Very sad the truth about
which you write *Andy*
but praying the light
will break through..

By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/18/2013 5:51:53 PM
Andy, you've captured the essence of what I personally have termed, 'the plastic people' of modern society - nothing matters but their personal desires - the human race appears to be void of the need and understanding for value programming for the greater whole, mankind - without the roses to smell, what is there? - you've done an outstanding job of poetically summarizing this scenario - I wish you love and peace my dear friend - Jon Michael
By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/18/2013 10:27:31 AM
This is stunning writing Andy!
I'm gazing, listening to the trees until my last breath. I don't want to be normal, and I would rather be poor than join the rat-race.
Blessings,
Chris

Thoreau wrote that, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” The masses are on a treadmill of ritualistic behavior, mostly in search of money, but off in search of passing the free time they have, unable to smell the roses.
Your poem rings very true for most. Poets and dreamers are exempt, of course. ;-)

Very heavy and sad write...no hope....no life
By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/17/2013 6:12:57 PM
Large, effective expression of strife, phrased with a sort of beauty of word that makes this poem compelling to me. ~~ Diana
By the Water Mill (Poetry) - 2/17/2013 5:32:33 PM
This is one somber poem of what life is like in darkness with no hope.
It's good news that some see past the walls of prison and truly experience freedom as id on angelic wings with the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Stolen Kiss (Poetry) - 1/22/2013 6:19:53 AM
Andy, you've done it for me, captured the allure and magic of a stolen kiss and the magic night time plays in its presentation. Wonderful, just wonderful my dear friend. I wish you love and peace. Jon Michael
Stolen Kiss (Poetry) - 1/21/2013 1:56:41 PM
Oh my goodness... one of your very best, Andy! Delightful flow and sprung rhythm to this (not as in Gerard Manley Hopkins, but it trips along like stepping stones!) and lovely internal and external rhymes. So delicate and light which depicts the bliss of that kiss wonderfully... and its lingering, perfumed aftertaste. BINGO! :)) xx

I like how this poem activates the sense of sound and touch (open window and winnowing winds) and smell (of car engines) and taste! = (just the word "ripening," even though it is the sun, we are thinking of fruit. No wonder your readers are pleasured by this writing. So am I... ~~ Diana

I love the ocean and the sounds it brings...
You hear the sounds,upon the shore,
Lulling me, wanting more.
A mind's eye, pictures seen,
Always moving me to dream....
Beautiful Andy...I went to St Kitts last year in April with my best friend and we saw a similar picture to this one from the train in the hills.

Positively ROARED all the way through this, Andy; so very visual and can just see it as a knock-about Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show somehow.. or a Hundert Aker Bonnie and Clyde with the eye-masks on, like Lone Ranger and Tonto. Get an illustrator and think Bob Hoskins and Jennifer Saunders... !! :)) xx

But thankfully, a kind-hearted pastor visited them in jail,
And he soon agreed to marry them, as was their original wish.
Now, hand in hand, on the edge of their prison cell window,
They dance by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They dance by the light of the moon.

This is my first comment on this site. I was drawn to your poem because I wrote an article for another site about my wife's uncle who was killed in WW1 just eighteen. Your poem was very well written and of course open ended (how else could it be)? I may post my article on here...

Dancing to the musical mortar
in the barbed field, beneath the stars
as if chasing leaves of flame
falling from autumnal trees.
such a vivid capture, Andy, and the sense this gives me is of the hallucinatory effect wrought either from near-death experience, pain... or, more happily, from the nearness, intimacy and loving care of that Angel. Reminds me of the scene from Atonement where Nurse Briony tells the dying Frenchman that she loves him as if she is his girlfriend. GUTTING that Oliver was only 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

Love the way you have so simply yet profoundly brought this out with such concision, Andy. We are who we are and remain so... unless the transformation is real and we fly!

So very sad, and so very sorry for your loss.
Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/13/2012 1:53:34 AM
Andy,condolences always fall woefully inadequate in times of personal grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Amy's parents. The loss of a loved one is difficult to cope with and the loss of one so young and vital makes it even more difficult to fathom the why. May peace and love be with you and Amy's parents my friend.

Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/12/2012 1:08:05 PM
I am sorry for your loss Andy, for we may not understand why such a beautiful little soul is snatched from us. Therefore, we must keep their love in our hearts and know they feel ours no matter what plain they are on.
You both will be in my meditations sweetheart
Love and Light

There's a Poem (Poetry) - 7/12/2012 8:09:19 AM
Both pain and pleasure are paint daubs on the pallet, Andy, accompanying a score of other pigment hues. Newly reading your writings here in the Den, I see your brush is in all of them. ~~ Diana
Love in a Box (Poetry) - 7/12/2012 8:00:24 AM
This is quite a telling tale. I like what Janna Hill said: "build it & she will come" because your closing line, "And designed for me", is exactly the formula that sums up your literary sketch here of the locked black box becoming musical. For me this is way more beautiful than cute; it says a great deal to me. ~~ Diana
Where the Teddy Bears Go (Poetry) - 7/12/2012 7:53:36 AM
I acknowledge and appreciate this level of attention and involvement. You wrote this like a song in the key of C -- a positive note to be sure: "Did you try to help/Litle Bo Peep/Find those sheep" what an insightful wonder. Lovely human expression mixed with wit and charm. A very enjoyable read. ~~ DIana
Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/12/2012 4:07:17 AM
Andy,
my sincere condolences to you and to all the family
at this very difficult time of tragic loss; so hard to bear but please take some comfort in knowing that
your friends are here for you.
May Amy rest in peace.

Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/12/2012 3:58:51 AM
Her life and success was meteoric and her newly-named star that you have found in heaven's skies says it all, Andy. She will not leave you comfortless and her work is a national and international legacy that will continue her mission and fame. It is completely beyond our current understanding as to how this could have happened and I'm in awe that you have been able to so quickly pen this heart response. Amy is and was many things, but to you she is always the bright-eyed and marvellous protege girl-child who will continue to enrich your life and mind forever. Walking alongside you as you tread this heavy, dark and necessary path of grief. Keep offering up the pain and light will miraculously come. Answers will be found and much come out of this long night of the family soul. Her star shines bright for and among you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ohh Andy. Words escape me. Look up at that vast sky above you and find comfort... know that my heart (as well as so many others here)goes out to you. We share your pain and your touching poetry...
Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/11/2012 4:00:33 PM
Beyond the Clouds now is your niece,
with tears never to fully understand
from Uncle Andrew, but to know that
God called her home to be His Angel
And yet the words will never be enough
for your loss, Lady Vivian
Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/11/2012 3:38:34 PM
I am very sorry this has come to your family, Andy. This is a heart-tugging tribute to Amy. Again, I wish I could say something more meaningful than I'm sorry, but . . .
Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/11/2012 3:35:57 PM
I was very moved by your heartfelt words Andy...and feel so sad for you and your family..You have however produced a very worthy poem that is an exceptionally touching and meaningful tribute to a niece who was obviously very special...Love, Diana
Too Young to Die (Poetry) - 7/11/2012 3:27:07 PM
This ode to your niece contains bravery and poignancy carved from the suffering tree. These two lines alone say it all: "I have not stopped weeping since you closed/Your eyes and fell asleep with no goodbyes." Beautiful expression of your grief. Condolences are never enough. ~~ Diana

Andy and Kate, the hilarity throughout is a hoot and then I got to, "for many years, we were happy, yes, you bet, but unfortunately, we bloody well met" and I knew it was over the top -- I love the humor, it is a marvelous collab - I wish you both peace and love - Jon Michael
Fate: with Kate (Poetry) - 5/26/2012 11:59:50 AM
A rowdy romp through relationship misconception. And a hilarious laugh to boot. I think I put in the boot, but it may be lost in the trunk over here. ;-)

Your Brit wit is shining, Andy! I think you need a few toasted marshmallows, some graham crackers, and a bar of chocolate.
I'm about to make S'mores and I'd like very much if you'd join me across the sea. You just need some emotional nourishment to get your muse going strong.
Since I lost my best friend dad, my muse has gone silent too.
Blessings,
Christine
