~ Waketh thou yet O sweet blossom ~

[Stanley Brown]

Whence in reflection might thou peruse the paths that once we perambulated?
O let sweet blossoms (blooming in profuse density) not impair the time that was!
Come, make light your lovely heart and prithee enjoy the scented roses of sonority
And let your breath tread carefully whilst toddling amidst my memories of thee!
I foresee the tree of happiness growing tall as a willow in glades where once we walked,
And a nightingale - or mayhap 'twas a thrush, who knoweth? - still singeth her song
Whose words were the ones that once we uttered on wings of song!
And long may the silver cobwebs in evening mist still hang on the aforesaid tree,
Their tiny diamantes threading our dreams of destiny and eternity which rest gently
In repose on the flora of all our yesteryears as time sweetens the e'erlasting memories
Of our amatory couplings by the flowing brook that now dried up thus is,
Reflecting murmured words of spent passion and post-coital relaxation,
And yet might I walk with thee again in the afterlife, my beloved in shade of crepiscule?

This is a total stunner, Stanley. I would like to tell you that I am speechless with admiration at this outpouring of your poetic soul. But why lie? It's crap.

[Engelbert Humpalot]

I could fart a better poem.

[Edna Sweetlove]

Staggering tripe.

[Stanley Brown]

You are a bit harsh on me, Edna, can you suggest any improvements if you are so BLOODY clever? Well? Thankyou. Stanley.

Dear Mr Stanley,

First of all, I would like to say a big thank you for your recent comment on my poem about David Grease. Also, note that the word "Thank You" is two separate words, not one whole word like the way you type.

Secondly, I have already written a dedication on this site to you. Did you get a knock on the top of the head when you were a child? Or has that dent always been there? In case you have forgotten, it's called "Standedge"

Thirdly, this poem was crap.

Thank You,

(Not the two separate words)

Adamastor The Handsome.

[Edna Sweetlove]

That's telling him.

This poem should be submitted to the "Peoples' Friend". They would publish it immediately. By the way, that is not a recommendation. Please read the aforementioned publication if ye want tae ken whit I mean.

[Stanley Brown]

"The People's Friend" is a very nice magazine. Thankyou for your kind sugegstion. Stanley.

Dear Stanley,

Is "coupling" the same thing as 'fucking' ?

Warmest Regards,
