I am living in London now three month and I find it very exciting place to be and I am working and learning to the English class in the evening.
I find the people most friendly and I get to see Leonard Cohen and Philippe Glass in London which is making it much better excitement for me. And I like to meet with you and the people here from the forum sometime in London some evening if this can be done. But not Tuesday or Thursday because I am in the evening of these days in class.

ahh, now that really is bad luck. Leonard and I are going bowling this Tuesday, and Phil Glass and I are going ice skating on Thursday. You would have been a very welcome guest to join me on either occasion.

Fellow Forum Posters,
I have come late to much of the apparent antagonism that appears on this particular section of the forum, an antagonism that I haven't found elsewhere.
I fully accept that my own initial posts were somewhat intemperate and for that I apologise, though subsequent comments about myself have made me think twice before so doing.
I have also become aware that some posters are more interested in their own entertainment than in responding in any meaningful way to the (perhaps over) enthusiasms of others. I may be naive in believing that we should assume people who post here do so in good faith, until we have proof that things are otherwise.I may also be naive in being disappointed in the tone of some of these responses.
To demean the naivety of others or make fun of their enthusiasm is hurtful and certainly makes me feel a sadness for those people who are, perhaps, seeking friendship.
Many people come to this country with expectations of our genuine British welcome and I hope we treat that expectation with the kindness it deserves.

Hi Jill ~

I really like the change from the butterflies to the angels. This has ended up a very evocative poem engaging the senses so much. For me, it's a very different kind of poem... I like it a lot

I think it is most necessary to forgive. This is more important than trying not to judge.

Beyond forgiveness, man is lost within his own ideas.

But a kind word is never thrown away.

Hi Jill ~

I like your voice and I sure hope you'll continue posting your poems. These are serious issues that you're addressing in yours and trying on the style of other poets is a great learning exercise. You've barely moved in your poem, but you've covered a lot of ground [pun unintended].
