Esmeralda

Hmm, I have not- deliberately have not – seen the film SYLVIA as my preconceptions deem it wrong on many counts. Firstly, since forced to write a thesis (many moons ago) on the impact of mental illness on the poetry of Sylvia Plath and Robert Lowell, and discovering that I went against the flow of female empathy for Plath whose tendency to…[Read more]

Oooh – still following me, Troglodyte? Watch out for that gravel rash in your poor malformed old knuckles.

Yada..yada..yada..ad infinitum..

Thanks for the thanks, Sgt. I have been an admirer of Ted Hughes since schooldays, and looking past the emotional psychobabble of the Plath connection and accusations of Hughes’ culpability, his is a body of work like no other, encapsulating the earthy and ethereal at one and the same. He makes the blood pop and bubble in my veins. I taste the…[Read more]

In all honesty, Dumpy, I’m ashamed of myself. Not so much ashamed at stooping to your level – as I couldn’t achieve that even if I had both legs amputated and was buried in a well – but ashamed of making sport of one so obviously afflicted. Simpletons such as yourself are to be pitied, and I DO pity you – never to know the joy of literacy, the…[Read more]

Well it’s obvious that irony goes straight over your head. In the absence of Geoff, am I to be the next shaky bandwagon to be jumped on with malice and glee? Evidently!
You’re an ignoramus, Dumpy. Incapable of realising when you are punching above your weight, with nothing more in your armoury than the battering-ram of repeated inanity. You’re so…[Read more]

Not merely ‘sad’ oh disco-butterflied one, but rampantly suicidal. My avatar is circumspectly ablaze by comparison.

Thanks for your robust defence, Ruby. You’re my darling girl.
Li’l fek. I edited. I EDITED. And I EDITED for two reasons. One: Though it was an excellent article, it veered into a long-wind with the cogent references being scattered unevenly throughout. I sliced and tidied..rather effectively if I say so meself. Two: The Herald doesn’t permit…[Read more]

I could never recommend Ted Hughes enough, Minim. Here is a favourite of mine, I hope it will leave you wanting more..

A cool small evening shrunk to a dog bark and the clank of a bucket –
And you listening.
A spider’s web, tense for the dew’s touch.
A pail lifted, still and brimming – mirror
To tempt a first star to…[Read more]

The inadequately educated amongst you would appear to be getting your collective knickers in a twist over a post which was inserted because I thought it was wonderfully relevant. Whatever talents I have not extending to osmosic knowledge of the suicide statistics of Bridgend – I would have thought it glaringly obvious that this was a gleaned piece…[Read more]

Here’s one I stole earlier from the gifted if wordy Torcuil Crichton of The Sunday Herald. I am of course too ‘umble to venture any opinion of my own ever at anytime without the supervision of an adult or intelligent chimp:

Suicide rates across the UK are generally falling, but the latest statistics, show that the Bridgend rates were higher than…[Read more]

No favouritism Rubester. Daily lashings and twice-daily throttlings’ll soon make slopping out seem like ‘The good old days!’

Okay, Pepper is a pleasant enough looking fellow in so far as he didn’t hit too many branches of the ugly tree on his way down – but he doesn’t exactly set the heather on fire ffs. You girls need to get out more. Seriously!
