John Webber - a truly versatile poet
If any one thing catches and holds my attention concerning a poet/writer, it is 'versatility'. IE the ability to write about a variety of subjects in a variety of styles.
John's writing demonstrates this from form (such as his Sonnets), to free verse, to well structured lyrical rhyme&meter. His poem, Einstein's song of relatively for commuters is a fine example, and humourous too.
I shall be reading all your postings on this site, John.
Best wishes... David Taub

Ein Stein Over the Eight
before I start to whine
pray lend a little time
please try to miss this poem, I implore you!
the science is unsure
the writing's very poor
and the repetition's surely bound to bore you!

"One man's meat is another....." Long live subjectivity - opinions on poetry and writing. John Webber's poetry works for me.

ps I would have written a better bit of poesy than the above anyway if I had been inclined to. Haven't read john webbers stuff yet.
Why the disclaimers?
because I've been asked if it was me.
the answer is no. If I have a 'go' it is either in my own name or something you will recognise.

You have lost me with your comment about 'disclaimers'!
Regarding 'having a go' I only write under one name too.
I've never played the 'let's stay annonymous' or 'let's pretend to be someone else' games online (or offline for that matter).
I have enough trouble keeping up with various 'threads' and what I previously said, without trying to remember what I could have said under the guise of another 'personna'. Again - each to their own.

None of the above were written by me, but thanks to all of you for the interest.
