My real thoughts for the Man Coming down and never been anywhere Church of Scotland Hostel Listen The Who Born in Shepherd's Bush myself And still listen Walking feet of pavement Smelling friend chicken cooking Managed nuthing the night before Smelt a feeling begin Learned a lot Words don't need saying Man in Black Sang Me And the World Still listening Dave |

At first..Your name appeared to me like Jimmy Page and David Coverdale... So I have thought you were musically related anyway.... I can always hear your poems as songs... ~ARH  love and hugs Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH |

I've been reading you for some time now... your reminiscent thoughts always pleasure my soul, that you honor those that gave to you. |

Walking feet of pavement Smelling friend chicken cooking Managed nuthing the night before Smelt a feeling begin Learned a lot the warmth of this education, streams from your pen, and I feel friends all around you...giving you enthusiasum and understanding.... It is in the core of our being, from then to now, which draws our spirit closer then before...bringing us to a very rare glimpse of what really was and now is. Lovely read David...your writing is an entire meal....Grade A Prime Rib! |

ethome Fair comment It almost seems too easy to just launch into some style and words that look something, so I suppose I am trying not to write using anything that is some kind of standard for me, but just allowing words and images and no I'm not taking anything before anyone asks I was based in Faslane on HMS Maidstone in the early 60s as a 17 year old and escaped to the Church of Scotland Hostel in Helensburgh at the weekends When I heard Mr Cash some years later, sing Sunday Morning coming Down, I felt I had been there. Inside the hostel of course I pumped my money into a Juke box playing My Generation by the Who. iliana I was hauled out of the church assembly for singing because no-one could sound that bad. Even paid to mime in the choir. Spirit is there, I think I can sing but I seem to be on my own there A Romantic Heart I do tend to write them as songs Classic for me was someone who said I had to listen to your poem as rap, before I could understand it inkedgoddess Ink You are probably one of the few people who dance to work Soleil Noir The problem is we all end up eventually as a series of memories Early childhood - someone else's Mad stupidity while we try to prove we are idiots - still on someone elses Unless we get out - we are probably still living someone else's memories and not building our own It is nice to admit to the influences on your life I feel happier doing it Toerag Toerag When did you mean to retire anyway LeeJ Learned a lot Yet someone else would call me a loner who can sit there and just enjoy the company of people. I do have this habit when working away of taking up residence in restaurants I like Tum Nuk Thai Restaurant in Halifax UK, and The Royal in Old Amstelveen in the Netherlands have my recommendation The Tum allowed me to sit a couch until the early hours of the morning talking to people and the Royal used to play small English bowling between the tables. HopeS Hope you ageless Dave |
