Comment on Current Edition by panagiotis

What is the current state of the site, if I might ask? I see one original poem posted last May, and about 100 poems pending in the queue for posting. I don’t know if it makes sense to submit pieces, if there is no one looking them to post them.

Comment on R.I.P David Mitchell by panagiotis

All of us who remember David from early days at the Globe Tavern in Auckland, poems in hand, curly locks, telling joyously of those ‘poets to come’ are sad, I am sure, to hear of his passing.

I remember in my last year at high school C.K. Stead’s review in the NZ Listener of ‘Pipe Dreams in Ponsonby’ had a profound effect on my decision to devote my inner life to poetry. May the bard roam free.

Siren with a harp, Oydsseas tied to the mast couldn’t resist this. A poem is indeed ‘a moment to steal’.

The shadowed tables, chairs, men in suits out for a day of going nowhere in the shade, you’ve painted it all here. The sigh for the girl, the youth, going, gone by.

Those clear eyes are a wonderful calm in the storm. She is, as you wrote, a lady.

Yes, I have returned to the site. while travelling, living in hotels it became difficult! Am in London now, looking for an Auckland Poet to help keep the site “local”

Posting a poem wasn’t a problem. Just navigating and as to where to find certain info. I’ve got more used to it now. I feel it’s strange that other poets/writers don’t express any opinions on the poems that are published on your site. Some of them so good and expressing such a similar feeling to thoughts of your own. But there’s hardly a squeak. I feel this is the loneliest site in the world!! Why such silence?

Noted your comment. I would like to make the site easier to work with – perhaps email submission of poems will help?
