Liverpool Poem800 is a new creative space for anyone to enjoy and create poems inspired by Liverpool. Created by Roger Cliffe-Thompson www.poem800.com will collect 800 poems for Liverpool’s birthday. I particularly like “Liverpool… in the sixties” by Ian Hunter. Of course if you feel inspired to write a Bold Street poem, we’d love to see it here too!
Trying to get intouch with Roger Cliffe-Thompson. I know him from the everyman and would like his number so that I can pass on some poems and try them out on him. cheers Danny
Managing
The copers manage the damaged –
by hand, deftly;
coping and hoping it won’t rain,
not today anyway,
me cat’s being buried today he is:
got squashed by a car.
We pried him loose from the wheel arch
with a pointy stick. His eye fell out,
a black hole, a purpled star, like it was cauterized.
I cried when my cat died.
I did.
