The youngsters won’t know this guy but he was an integral part of British Rock ‘N’ Roll back in the sixties. He’s best remembered as an active member of The Shadows who played bass and backed Cliff Richards during the early years. For me he was the one who helped put the instrumental touch to music at that time.
Pagan, you floored me with that 'stamp'. I love Byron and to cite it from Darkness shows me you are deep and dark.
I would so interview you!!
Your poetry has to be some of the finest written literature I have read. I love poetry, I wish I was more creative, but this is about you. I call you the resident VR poet. I get to read your work when I like, a bit like having a book on a shelf.
You will only get a biased opinion from me as I also like the writer. I don’t feel ‘qualified’ enough to even attempt a comment as my comments will be about what I see and what is private and personal to me but most of the time your works leave me speechless.
Ovid was right. But it only reflects how delicate we are as people. Trying to please all the people all of the time ….. try pleasing yourself, or rather writing for yourself as the message will still come across but your armour will be less bruised.

This is one of the nicest things I've ever read. Thank you so much.
I know that worrying helps nothing at all...the work is the work. I write to my own standard, but that works much better when you then carefully fold the piece and place it in a folder that you keep on a shelf. When you hang it on the fridge for everyone to see, you invite other people to take a look and have an opinion. That's where the scary bit begins for me. Especially when it's silent afterward. My brain does this: "No comment = It sucks." I know that's dumb, but I'm human and I stress.
I bet you guys would be surprised to know how much I agonize over everything in the Exhalations section. Have you ever gotten really bad stage fright? That's what hitting SEND is like for me. I worry that I'm too close to it...maybe I'm not seeing how bad it may be. But VR is an encouraging environment. People like you are more supportive than you can ever know.
I worry too much. It's not that big of a deal. I need to relax. Thank you.
Joli is one of a kind!
