Wonderful poems Yuko. There's so much passion in the imagery. I think anybody who wants to know about the power of images should read your poems, never comfortable, but with a wild humour in there too...

Thank you for your comment, Sue. I came back from Japan last week and I'm trying to adjust myself to the English weather. Hope to see you soon.

Lovely to see all your wining and commissioned work here Dick, why don't we try and get the BBC film on here too... if you have a DVD I'm certain I could make it happen... would be fab!

Enjoyed both of these poems. I particularly liked the feeling of moving through the landscape, you manage to convey in 'Chasing Sunsets' and the concurrent sense of moving through life towards another ending- every day being a journey of some sort. Beautiful photographs.

The Las Vegas poem I particularly like for the quality of fairy-tale, which captures the pull of the place for I imagine most people who go there. The filmic nature of the second one is striking. I wonder if the first stanza which sets the scene could be sharpened a bit. In the second it all gets going.

Both poems are excellent. If forced to choose, I would have to say I prefer the second version. The use of the present tense makes it more immediate, almost tangible in its imagary. A hard poem to forget.

I'm glad to see the 'Boilermakers' poem here. I liked it very much at the Hitchin Library reading, and now I can see better the interplay of the workers themselves, their creation and the passage of time.

Thank you Dennis,
I've always felt it was rather too long and over worked, but the idea remains, ( I think) ... that the feelings you get when you are stay with you for a long time

The first stanza is really intriguing and I love the feel of 'stitches' and 'thread'. I like this atmosphere of Shakespear country and what's more, it's good that you also mentioned the post office, train and bus.

Thanks for your comment! I liked putting in those everyday things like the Post Office because they are really really important and must be defended at all costs!

Now that I have read Yuko's poem on the screen, I think I understand the terrible frustration and helplessness she is expressing.
Sue, I wasn't even thinking of personal qualities like benign or malign. More an awesome presence in the cosmos. I had Hopkins in mind when I wrote the lines, though he had his own beliefs.

This is a splendid poem! The dirty urban landscape, the idyllic scene of the canal and the predatory heron all fit together in a strange way.

The second version... (although the font of the first is appealing to me for some reason) The opening line is much stronger, and builds atmosphere.... " the sky is turquoise": the assertion that something is going to happen, even if that's nothing.... I think you could loose "of clouds" because we know that's what it will be.
"eyeless railway shed" is brilliant. haunting. and the heron's question mark.... I really love that. A great poem Sue.

Marvellous to see your page here at last!!
I love the lines...
The city repeats itself
for the thousandth time
It conjures up images of old ghosts and football chants to me... the city being alive ... almost repeating it's own name over and over.

Maybe if you know Stevenage, Edinburgh makes sense to celebrate..I like the poem very much, conjuring up the sensation of travelling and yes an excitement I think.

Thank you for your poems, Dennis and Sue. I've just added the links to the painting in your poems but if you don't like the tiles to interfer with your poem, please let me know.
Dennis - I thought 'through association' is the tile of your poem but apologies if I misunderstood it.

Good picture of the Telegraph Hill picnic. However, someone certainly took photos of the historic evening at David's Bookshop last year. I want to see the poets in action!
