Welcome to my world Readers

This is White Rose land [Yorkshire] but all visitors are welcome. Even those from Lancashire

Here you will find the offerings of a wanna-be poet and hopefully you will enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing (and sometimes performing) them.

However if you get tired of my scribblings then why not feast your eyes on the works of some REAL poets on the Oldpoetry Classics section of this site. You'll find it on the pull down list from the poetry label at the top of each page.

Maybe it's because I am becoming recognised as an OLD poet (accent on the old not the poet part) but I enjoy spending time on that section of the website where I am a member of the Research Team.

On that site I can find lots of poems by my favourite poets such as Cicely Fox Smith or Robert Service or even Roald Dahl

I can go to the front page and choose from the list of popular poets or the Poem for the Day or even just pick a random category and a random poem and enjoy reading what appears.

Hi There,
It's nice to hear from you and to hear about the forthcoming publication. I shall keep an eye out for more details.
I too hope to get a book out by June. Charlie Ipcar (AKA Charlie Noble at Oldpoetry) and I have compiled and collected a treatise on the collected works of Cicely Fox Smith and I shall be joining him in the US for the launch and a couple of lectures.
I am in agreement with you about Oldpoetry and am considering jumping ship as there is very little incentive to do the regular maintanence let alone new research work when the site owner treats it so shabbily. I got told of for politely informing readers that the poet they were asking to review their work was actually dead centuries since! I think it is in danger of becoming a poetry Wikkipaedia with all the inherant faults and innacuracies.
Anyway Liz it is really good to know your efforts are coming to fruition and your writing is going to a wider audience.
TTFN
Jim

Hi Jim, do give me the details of your book!

How exciting, I'm really pleased, I know you love her poetry.

re Wiki, actually, a lot of it is extremely accurate, and has incedibly up-to-date scientific info (had to do a lot of research with scientists for my book, emailed the foremost experts) and often the info was already on Wiki. It's just some pages have misinformation, put there by weird people, or information which has been incorrectly understood - however, you can reach the papers and references below each article to learn the truth, so actually it's a brilliant research tool!

I agree that like all tools if properly handled it is useful but not everyone uses it correctly and sadly that damages the overall integrity.
Re the CFS book I'll keep you posted especially if it goes on sale this side of the pond.

Oh dear, OP is suffering isn't it? How are you, Jim? I have been looking in every now and again, but I've been so busy i haven't been able to post stuff. I have taken stuff down though! My book comes out next month, you asked to be told when... and when is nearly yupon us! Darned long time it's taken too! Had to mail every species expert in the book to check my facts are up to date and accurate - it's poems and facts about endangered animals. If you want you can read about it on my blog, http://www.lizbrowneepoet.com

Hope you are well! I love coming here and seeing your happy, yellow page!
See all
