Poem of the week

Attrition

Image: 
Slick vast crush of bare ocean, split white with dolphin crest and the roll and the roll, frets and worries at the lip of the world.
Cherry

For my sons... (Poetry Monthly)

If I ever get to see those pearly gates, misted like a distant hill, or if I'm caught on charcoal shores, waiting for the open hands of God, I'll draw for you, in all their grace, the sinners kissing angels' feet.

Posted on Sun, 15 Nov 2015

You have a real skill for blunt, expressive prose. Can be a little overcooked at times I feel. You may need some softer moments to avoid it verging on parody. Great style - reminiscent of Ludlum or Lee Child, even Wilbur Smith before he went...

Your poems are little car

Posted on Sat, 21 Nov 2015

Your poems are little car journeys. They never fail to encapsulate the feeling of a time and place. They also give me space to think.

Lovely flow to this poem.

Posted on Sun, 22 Nov 2015

Lovely flow to this poem. Could me maudlin and cliched like so many 'sea' poems but your short but long lines and stark imagery skilfully avoid this. I love the sound.

Eerie but heartwarming.

Posted on Fri, 13 Nov 2015

Eerie but heartwarming. Driven by tides. A few simple errors (ever/y) but a really atmospheric piece.

Oh I do like the ending of this. Is it me or could you replace 'record' either the first or second time? Love the way your rhyme scheme builds.

Posted on Tue, 10 Nov 2015

I enjoyed this. At times, it can seem a little like you've over-used the thesaurus! Sometimes the simplest words are the most effective. However, that doesn't detract from some controlled sentence variety and a nicely plotted arc. Is there more...

Posted on Sun, 11 Oct 2015

Made me cry. I often think of what my grandfather went through with his home help and his days in a home. Maybe I've coloured this too much with me but I couldn't stand the nosey, gabbing narrator you've created here. Great work.

You have such an ear for sound but manage to spell phonetically clearly and unusually so we can get the flavour, even the sounds of the phlegm.

Oh this is a bit lovely! Love

Posted on Tue, 04 Aug 2015

Oh this is a bit lovely! Love the word choices - very different. If I may make a suggestion it would to be to remove the capitals at the start of each line - disrupts the flow a little. You can break a line easily to draw attention to certain...
