Re: Rejections

Its seems a lot deeper than when I first read it, Bob. I've learned now not to jump in with first thoughts. It does seem a metaphor for loneliness You finish on the disheartening spectacle of a Gorilla caged for three decades. I remember watching Guy the gorilla in Bristol zoo five decades ago and w...

Re: In Love - Removed - to be Published

Thanks Caleb, they did rave about it, both Zines, which surprised me. Bernie raved about it at the time and he is/was a good judge of poetry. You may not remember Bernard Henrie, like Bob he won the 'Poet of the year' and also 'Poet of the Decade.' He was a great expositor of poetry and teacher. We ...

Re: In Love with a Woman in her Later Years

Bob, it's an old one offered or rather submitted to Zines
I've taken it down because it is being published next week with Autumn Sky Daily Poetry
and in April with OpenArtsForum.com
They don't mind sharing honours.
I will repost once its out.

Bernie, alas, seems to have left this mortal sphere.

Re: A Poem from Simon

I agree with your summation, Bob.
They guy has had a great write-up and is a famous modern Irish poet it seems.
I just wondered why and wanted to see if anyone agreed with me.

I think I said that tongue-in-cheek Bob.
