Hello all you poets and readers, friends and others.

I am working in London for three months now. Yikes!!! ALl these years since my hubby moved us away and AT LAST I am returning to London, strictly a quirk of Fate.

(Right in town, at least I don't have to work in some nasty suburb.)

Vis a vis SP, I will be VERY busy but will try to stay in touch.

Much love to all who enter (their stuff) here...

I've been working on prose pieces for a year and you can see four of these at Storywrite if you like - don't worry, they're short.

I am also near to completing a book for publication with another writer. It's a commercial venture, what I call an "airport book" that you can buy in the airport and dip into happily - but i hope still worth the $9.95 I expect will be it RRP.

The lyric I wrote in December is ready for the studio.

Please check it out if you have a moment, all comments will be welcome, esp as to how you hear it, who might you see singing it, I have a decision to make about how to demo it (I won't be singing then!!) and getting the genre right is as important as writing the song, So critics' hats on please at

    Thank you for commenting on my poems, Old People Rant and The Muse! I love comments, and yours were funny. "More fun than a catfight in a carwash." LOL!!!!
    I'm checking out your site on MySpace, and I love Blue Horizon. Man, you are doing what I wish I could: singing with a band and writing your own songs, and doing it since 1994. You rock!

  • on You by mojojames, on September 1

    This is wonderful,

    I love this, you have so clearly expressed the experience of loving and losing, the end-game of which is this flash of pain
    that "contains the residue of intense joy" - the movement from ecstasy to loss, surely the experience through which most of us begin to comprehend the Fall of Man.

    I particularly like the movement from timelessness - outside the physical realm - to this intense description of falling, diving, the words of which convey weight and gravity, embodied, immeasurable, bottomless.

    So you've succeeded very well matching the tone to the tale.

    Enormous, MJJ. I can see too why you connected so fully with my poem "still" which haunts the same territory.

    Ouch... and is it possible that loves like this may not be inevitably doomed, or are we just suckers for the punishment... Oh, would that life could be easy sometimes: affection, a little sex, a little shopping and the occasional holiday in the sun...
