Re: Death of an Armed Guard (version 2)
Out of the department store come two armed guards toting cash receipts to a waiting truck, when out of the air itself explode two thugs brandishing guns. The guards scatter, but scattering doesn’t save them on this otherwise lovely day. One thug shoots, one guard falls, face down on the ground with...

A sad day for N, Bob, a bad day. It is thought that algae cause the problem in their brain a kind of poison fungi in the sea, a bloom.

Re: I Don't Give You Any Answers
There is no logic in this sentence.I've heard the puppy squealing all these years.
A puppy will grow up in six months.
Could it be, 'I've hear puppies squeal all these years'
or does it mean the memory of a puppy squealing is still with N.
It an abuse poem anyway and gives little away.

Re: Wish You Were Here
OK
Bernie used to give volumes of replies, insightful and informative
and one forum complained all the time his replies were too long
as if it cost them more for a long reply compared to a short reply
and I thought poor man, he's dying and he's doing his best.
Marvellous poet, just saying.

After eight long years of pondering I have rewritten this poem. The original version listed by Michael in post #2. This reads like the 2nd draft of your other poem posted, Faith.

Re: Welsh Englyn Form in the English Language
I have one bottle of Whiskey, Bob.
It's not an expensive brand I'll admit, but it's not bad.
I'm not big on spirits anyway, just a sip now and then
if I have a cold or a bit down.

Re: Drives and Driveways
I won't undertake such a project again, Bob. I only did it to please my wife.
And I am not a builder. I am a mechanical engineering worker by trade.
And undertaking such physical work at 70 almost wore me out.

Re: William Davenant. Shakespeare Was More Than Godfather To Me
Much better Bob, if you don't mind me saying.
I still feel beer is more earthy than anything with a scent. smell is ore earthy maybe.
Pub in the KK have an earthy smell, and drinkers of beers, up to 20 pints in a night, smell earthy
a not unpleasant smell. But it is your poem and I bow to you way.
