Songs of Leonard Cohen

Dear Tom,
The word "stoater" is Scots.
I have written most of my poetry in English, but , on occasion, I write in Scots. My poem, "The Paper", will be posted soon on the "Poetry for Forum Members".
Must go now,
Andrew.

"The Paper" (sic),
I had almost forgotten about that one, but I'll read it, in Scots, on October 18th in Gloucester, to an audience of beautiful losers. If I get away with it, a translation might be posted on the "Poetry for Forum Members" section.
None of this can detract from "The Road Not Taken" or "The Dangling Conversation": both deserve a place on message boards devoted to any serious writer. I make no apologies for resurrecting Frost (deceased) and Simon (alive) .
All of this convinces me that you can get away with a helluva lot on another writer's website..just stick to the rules, and travel to Gloucester.
Andrew.

Welcome to the Forum, River

~ isn't it amazing the difference you felt when you listened to him? I still continue to feel that same difference, after 30 years.

Hello and welcome River, I've just returned from a wonderful holiday in your country, where everyone was really friendly and hospitable. I didn't realise Leonard was well known in Turkey.
