Anniversary

Such a nice and wistful poem, Rebecca. Ah, what it is to be young and in love. Don't worry, he'll knock back soon enough. He would be a fool if he didn't!

Thank you, Luigi! Glad you like this one - and don't worry, I got my knock this morning :)

Just a wonderful piece of writing - you capture the pain of separation played out against the excitement of a new life quite brilliantly magic in all these recent poems i've read. :-)

Aaw, it like a wish song! Glad it worked! K xxx

Thank you fatboy :) I'm glad you're liking my latest pieces - I always panicked that the inspiration wouldn't come whilst I was in Durham or I wouldn't have time to write - but I'm managing so far!

Thanks, Kahdai! 'Wish song' I like that :)

Fatboy sums it up for me too - and I love the repetition of the glass/glass bubble, as if it's all a bit surreal somehow. Well done magic!

Hello insert! 'Surreal' is definitely a word I would use right now :) Thanks for commenting!

Magic xxx

Julie! It's great to hear from you :) Glad you enjoyed this one!

This one is truly magical, Magic;-) As insert says, the repetition of the glass bubble works beautifully.

Sorry I missed this earlier, but now I am the richer for having read it.

Wonderful stuff!

Thank you, Tina! Always better late than never ;) The poetry reading with Catherine Smith went really well by the way! Hope all is well in the Clatworthy household too ;)

Hey - I'm so pleased for you, Magic;-) I knew it would...it couldn't have failed. Your talents will be much in demand from now on, I should very well imagine.

We're fine thank you and enjoying the weekend, as I hope you are. Back on 'home' territory, if my memory serves me correctly. Hope you didn't take too much washing with you...like mine used to do;-)

I am indeed back on 'home territory' Tina! I arrived home fairly late last night - but my best friend still came round at 11pm just to see me :) Since then I've barely stopped - trying to cram so much in! But I've had my Durham friends texting me and telling me to come back 'cause they miss me lol I'll be back in Durham early evening tomorrow as it's my friend's birthday party - then it's back to the six essays I've got to write by the end of term!

Well, if you ever do a 'best of ...' this definitely ought to be there. Seems perfect to me, all the way down to the visual near-but-not-quite-symmetry.

Rob

yes you should have a collection of your favourites I think am gonna do that too...

Thank you Rob and Kahdai :)

Hey guys - FANTASTIC NEWS!! It's really short notice, but today I received an email from someone who heard me read at the Catherine Smith reading and she works with the university's literary magazine and radio show - and tomorrow I'll be doing a recording for one of their shows!! I'll be reading some of my work and doing a bit of an interview too. Gah, so excited!! :) :)

Magic xxx

A bit more info - I'm hoping you should be able to listen live at http://www.purpleradio.co.uk/ I'll be on between 1pm and 2pm! Unfortunately you won't be able to access the recording after those times.
