I wonder if you do resemble your blog picture?<BR/>Thanks Sue<BR/>Cate - well the Metro's like that. All those people rushing around with their own stories. And we only get fragments and have to make wildly inaccurate guesses.<BR/>Gulnaz - it was interesting putting up three poems. Some liked one, some another.<BR/>Kimberley - glad you're enjoying my work. And yes, all I do is dedicated to Jill.<BR/>Thanks Anon.<BR/>Hi Syl. I'll be dropping by later.<BR/>Justrose - poems on the move. Being on the move stimulates the creative areas of the brain apparently. But then so does staying very still. Moving very slowly is not so good obviously. Hi!<BR/>Ostrich - stay with it. It'll start getting easier soon.<BR/>Hi Liam.<BR/>Hi Amie.<BR/>Hi Coke.<BR/>Hi Russ.<BR/>Hi Nicole.<BR/>Sorry - I'm getting tired now. It's past my bedtime. And we're off to France tomorrow on our hols. See next blog which I haven't put up yet but should be there by the time you read this.<BR/>Hi Free - love the butterfly effect. Yes, I also write songs. Check out Wonky Finger by following the Rabbit Press link or from earlier blogs.<BR/>Hi Becky.<BR/><BR/>Au Revoir mes amies, or should that be mes amis?Roger Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393920954647379508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1123707247431093102005-08-10T21:54:00.000+01:002005-08-10T21:54:00.000+01:00Roger, where are you?!

Then over to St. Germaine to the boutiques. My sorry French asking directions from the gendarme. Thankfully getting lost in Paris can mean coming upon a totally impromtu music session...and they are remarkably good!

I have already been to Paris and back in mind because of you. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Especially, I like the nostalgia of the last piece. The last lines are wonderful! "And I think about how far we’ve come<BR/>And how we’ve come<BR/>No distance at all." Just wonderful!<BR/><BR/>Also, I posted a response to your last comment on "Metro" at my site. And I posted a new piece with a more whimsical tone that I thought you might appreciate.<BR/><BR/>Take care!Anonymous Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259024805878478537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1122715616408489262005-07-30T10:26:00.000+01:002005-07-30T10:26:00.000+01:00i am glad you had such a lovely time in paris, you...i am glad you had such a lovely time in paris, you reallly seem to be on a roll here. i love all the three poems here, can't decide whether i like the first one best or the last one. such pretty images in the first, brings a gay and busy paris to mind. i like the haunting-ness of the last one too. when i see an old house, i often wonder how it would have seemed earlier.gulnazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303326222747011474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7702442.post-1122681807981700612005-07-30T01:03:00.000+01:002005-07-30T01:03:00.000+01:00Now wait...am I the only one who read the first po...Now wait...am I the only one who read the first poem and wanted to know more?
