[360andmerule]

UR VIDS ARE EXCELENT SEEN EM ALL 8D

[luvhaggis]

I so enjoy your videos :)

[cyberlioness]

Keep up the great work! Love your art and enjoy the "outdoor" videos--maybe you need to get out of that room more often?

[robyncd71]

You look so young without your glasses on.... why I don't think you look a day over 21 actually!

Keep up the good work there. :)

[sophiesworld1]

This is interesting and a bit different from other videos

[j097j]

great

[Lupitamihita]

I love this poem, being of a certain age myself. Long time subscriber, first time to comment here. I very much enjoy your videos.

[dagocleo]

beautiful poem !!!

[turtleblues66]

I love your videos, thanks for posting...

[mmaennle]

Wow, great! You're a wonderful person, Peter!

Keep up the great work.

[carolperez]

double wow. very good

[fehquig]

It just wouldn't be complete without the rat... I like your pun title for that piece of work :)

[redSG]

You are such a cool old guy. It's like you're not even old. xD What is old defined as, one may ask. I don't know. But you are awesome, Peter.

[modesty16]

...I probably call it a Rottweiler?!

Peter, dear, you are genius!

love, mod

[MamboDogFaceOne]

Peter, no other love shall keep us...your art, your reading, your soul - meditating on the things that bind us all.

Thanks and blessings.

[EarthTravels]

I love you!!!!

[garyokee]

A regular British Joseph Cornell, you are.

Hello Peter.

Happy Valentine's Day

[brigitta48]

Good evening Peter,

I just saw you and the Zimmers on German TV SWR (south-west region Baden-Baden). They had a saturday evening show with people who started into a new life after 60. Great song like always.

[Jeff98177]

As always, there's something warm and comforting about the way you start each video with "Hello, YouTubers".

[RachieRAINBOWS]

I'd call that Artwork!

Glourious Poem, Absolutely Fantastic :)

[Sentor44]

Verry nice poem Peter.

I would be proud if i had a grandfather like you.

Hope to hear more off you soon.

[ahardy5891]

hot

[peacenow13]

You read so wonderfully. Somehow we need more people to read poems to each other. My husband has done do often but not recently. I need to revive the idea for both of us.

[octogenerian]

Cheer up Geri it's not all that bad.

It's cold outside but warm inside.

[MonacoLager1]

A very dead rat. LOL! Could a rat also be extremely dead?

[TheMouthonWheels]

Thank you for showing us your art :). And I DO think it is art - some people will get it, and some won't but the important thing is that you as the artist feel you've created something that conveys your message effectively.

[w00dw0rm]

did you glue a dead rat to it?

[shalomirene]

Eat your heart out Damien Hurst (?Hirst)!

What a rebel you are Peter.x

[PeterMooreSmith]

Kick ass.

[tenagliac]

What a perfect ensemble fit for Halloween.

Me thinks a fright befits the night have been

A dare, a truth, a dash from thought to thought

Lest the bone you fear alone now your soul has caught !

Art is a yet a manner of speaking which

words say that which saying not do mean.

Touche !

[mx4789]

wow! thanks for introducing me to Batjeman.. just googled him, i never knew (being a spotty little twerp and a yank and all).

Ps: when you die can i have the rat?

[Pattipi]

I love you, Peter.

[ItWasPunk]

Why anyone want to put a dead rat in a shadowbox? Is Geriatric1927 trying to be a goth?  It's icky and bizarre.

[SuziQ1953]

Wonderful.

[movieguystarraisin]

As always insightful...

[SandraFowler]

As with many of your videos, I found this one touching. I've never been a great fan of poetry but that was lovely and haunting. Thank you so much.

[harleynanda]

You may not don the leathers anymore, my friend, but the poem and art piece on your porch is still your patch of defiance, is it not? Kindred spirits do not dwindle away with time, and I would still lift a pint with you in a local pub.

[FlyByPC]

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

(Dylan Thomas)

[downhill240]

Peter you are so fine! you're vids always inspire me regardless of the subject. Peace and many more years of lust for you!!

[creepymeepy]

"Late lust"? Oh god, you haven't been sleeping with fakesagan's girlfriend too, have you???

[eskimoplanecrash]

my favorite!! coming up again. thank you so much, i love that poem!

[greenstar2003]

Yes this poem applies to your art work. Great job, thanks for sharing.

[UtRadioGuy]

That is very interesting. You are a GREAT man!

[Chick6517]

OoO that was interesting hahaha.. but yeah i enjoyed this video.. fun, entertaining, what more could i ask for. hehe :]

[robyie]

I must say, seeing that work on your porch might make me more inclined to want to visit. I don't check in too often anymore but when I do you make me smile!

[HelloPho]

the rat is my favorite part it's so random.

[SumiShanti]

You have the heart of a poet and the elegance of a gentleman. Thank you for sharing your art and baring your soul to us.

[junka22]

Very inspiring Peter, that's some heavy British melancholy, I can relate to it because we share some of it here in Finland

[PhilintheBlank1]

Hope you didn't catch a cold out there!

[naughtystepUGC]

My grandmother also became an artist in her sixties, she painted landscapes of the rolling Lancashire countryside, no atrophied rodents though...

Love it Peter! : )

[ExposingYourUglyAzz]

dj's new channel is djvl0gs.

[gerbilsqueex]

Maaan' these crackers is crazy!

[MontyPropps]

Lovely video :)

And I've got a mummified squirrel in my shed, so there's nothing wrong with dessicated rodents in my book.

[hartnell114]

i like the thought behind the piece but,im not alltogether sure about the deeased rat lol,im glad you did this for two reasons,people can see what interests you as the person and as the creator and,youre reading a poem,there isnt enough of them here on youtube,sadly.

[tomthemd]

The dead Rat is somewhat disturbing, but else I love it.

[wormholetravel75]

That's really neat. I like the name --> Rottweiler. Nice!

[Beaver1]

Nice video

[TigerlilyCO2007]

That was wonderful Grandad. Thank you for sharing. :-)

[Scripter555]

Both beautiful and terrifying at the same time - i enjoyed it - I also liked the art and i think it does go well with the poem-thank you

[PBSmusic]

Thought, provoking artwork.

Thanks for sharing it here.

[Argentium009]

Well, that was cheerful. :) Hehehe...

"To resist the frigidity of old age one must combine the body, the mind and the heart - and to keep them in parallel vigor one must exercise, study and love."

-- Karl von Bonstetten

[nearclothing]

Great video.

You seem to have a buzz in the background of you reading the poem.

[janetathensbay]

Being an artist myself, I can appreciate the message. Yet, I must say, this was not an 'uplifting' poem to start my day off with and it left me wanting to be listening to some happy music. I'd rather dwell in the positive present, than in thoughts of decrepidation and death!

[yescandles]

Oh...Oh my. Most certainly too real for me. I suppose I must be trying to create a Disneyland in my head ...just the colorful places filled with joy, silliness and glee....and hoping it will "stick"...and if successful, I will then become senile in this state of childlike wonder. I do hope a dead rat does not fit in my picture. Of course you never said it was biographic! (If this made no sense, chaulk it up for being 2:00 AM, please)

[tak178]

I always learn something new from you, Peter.

[debbiez112]

Nice work!

[galanie]

ffMv7ff makes me LOL. He's an arse but funny.

Love ya Peter keep it up!

[VinylToVideo]

You have a dead rat framed on your porch? OK.

[Steveningen]

As enjoyable and unexpected as always. Thanks Peter.

[tinxiedoodles]

Still my favorite guy on youtube

[mcurren2004]

That was a real nice vid. Mary

[kapakas]

Nice vid Peter, i look forward to watching your next video.

[Bernie1927]

I don't know Peter! Is this modern art or are you putting us on? I can see you got a real fan in "ffMv7ff" and I must say I don't quite get the dead rat, but then I don't swoon over graffiti either, so I guess, I am just not with it. When you said the word "lust" I expected something entirely different, but then you made up for it with the poem. Rock on Peter, we love you.

[Spintown7]

Good work Peter.

[Burnz2much]

dude, your stupid, if you wana trash talk do it to me, leave him alone, you will get whats coming to you one day... love your vids peter :)

[PearlinBloom]

love your videos! Keep it going Peter

[Weasel7711]

Peter, what are your religious beliefs? I know this has nothing to do with your video.

[trlstaff]

Excellant, I liked the "flow of it".......5/5

[derekcolman]

That was inspiring, thank you Peter.

[grammako]

Top notch Peter. Listening to you I sit back and close my eyes. Your words are calm.

[CalebWandering]

Beautiful Peter!

[megansspark]

wonderful reading Peter... and a fine companion to the art. lol about people's possible reactions ;)

[Tophisthebest226]

Great, Just Great...Thank You very Much :D Love your work

[Tessietots]

Love you GrandDad. I could listen to you recite poems, read stories all day long. You have a soothing voice that relaxes me. Would you consider doing this more often. I miss my grandfather and just love hearing your stories. It reminds me so much of him.. Please oh Please :)) Take Care... Tess In Ireland

[finnjolly]

A man after my own heart... xo //*u*\\

[thizizliz]

I listened to it again and can see where you were going with the art piece. I like the way you think!

[ooxangelxoo]

I liked it a lot. I love seeing people's artwork.

[YaYaJuke]

what might have been.... i enjoyed your poem .... thanks for sharing it.

[Nimnoms]

That is one of the best poems I've ever heard.

[lmaothe1]

you are the best!

[PrettyMuchSo]

I love the diffrent video. Keep up all your diffrent arts they are all wonderful!

[aspencrest]

Excellent; thanks for sharing!

[qualisarx]

I agree, goof poen.

[DAWNCB]

you are wonderful!

[Kureeosity]

(((((((((Geriatric1927))))))))­))))))))

[UnOfficial000]

can u make your videos longer and more frequent please

[warabe53]

You never cease to amaze me, you have a wonderful voice to read poetry, and I adore your art work even though rats spook me

[amozoness6]

Excellent.

[lotsatails]

FABulous Peter!!

Thank you for the introduction to this poet too!

And what a perfect coupling - your artwork & that wonderful poem...I'm sitting outside in the sun here in Southern CA, but I still experienced the chill & the dark truth (& beauty) viscerally.

[PieReportNews]

Peter, you are a joy to watch, thank you.

[IXGertXI]

Odd, that same theme keeps popping up in my life. I wonder what the universe is trying to tell me. As for the rat... I only have a mummified mouse...oh, and found another treasure on my walk, Sunday.. a hawk pellet. I'm going to refrain from exploring that.

Lovely presentation

[samelf]

Fantastic video & art, Peter...Very well done...

[Willacetheclown]

cool peace of art & poam. its all how people look at things i guess

[BraDRoBBo]

You look very... eh i dunno the word,, energetic perhaps? in this vid :D i think that i can tell your outside not because of just the traffic in the background but because of the way you're moving (and of course your coat) but regardless you look happy =D... you're ART is vair nice;)

[BraDRoBBo]

"It's freezing cold out here" yeah i thought so:P sorry that i commented before the end of the video but but but, i wanted to comment on what i felt at the time :D!

[TracyInsomiac]

I went through a terrible "long dark night of the soul." An emotional place of such morbidity that I couldn't share my thoughts with another person for fear of infecting them with it. It took me 2 years to crawl out of the hole. And I can never go back. Not even in the name of art.

[Steve7508]

I love Betjeman - especially the darker poems.

Nice video, Peter.

[guitar2adam]

i think your art is very creative and reflects the poem very well

[cataloger1]

Excellent as always!

[oneiblind30]

I love that ole' Rottweiler.. Well you know that.

[russtex]

Very interesting!

[artsycalgal]

And even though it evoked a negative feeling, it is a well-done video.

[zasparent]

your the best continue making more videos!

[artsycalgal]

It's a lovely thought..finding lust late in life, however, I have to admit that the poem made me feel a bit uncomfortable remembering my own mum's death not all that long ago..her struggle to find each breath. Interesting but a bit ookie, if you get my drift. It's not one I would watch more than once...not many of those anyway..and I hope that I can get to breathing normally in a few minutes..I'm feeling a little like I'm suffocating. On to happier videos. :-)

[UTUBEMENTALHOSPITAL]

What?

[dirtynig92]

hai.

[philiprobinson1991]

you can see it geriatric

[Bobiloco]

Very touching video. Thanks, 1927

[jimbobjun]

Another epic video Peter.

Keep up the good work.

[P1X1E56]

Hi Peter, maybe you are lucky that I was ill when I was going to visit you because I would certainly have asked you about your work.. I'm not too proud and very inquisitive.

[cheakdirk]

cool stuff my freind

[SWTPEA64]

I Love the Poem................ Beautiful

[lisacole690]

beautiful ... xoxo

[paul1967uk]

That rat looks familur

[PrincessDiana161]

Excellent video!

[CrankyCrone]

Interesting, and I loved the poem.  Thank you.

[Evilgidgit]

You look different without your glasses on. But why is there a dead rat?

[TABULOUS1]

*inhale*exhale*

panickingly lovely

The circumstances are occasionally ageless,

given that I lay near dead merely less than a year ago in my own Husband's arms, neither of us with a clue that such an instance would be encountered in our *near* future....(sigh)

It was only recently, toward the end of my very long recovery that I've begun 2vlog, even just casually.

"..or a gasping fight 4breath"

*inhale*

*exhale*

I empathize.

[UpDownMostly]

Exceptional Peter. I've recently been doing my own assessment of my life, my legacy, my purpose. As one gets a little older the thoughts of fanciful dances of days gone by become a bit of a dream rather then reality. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[novmoon]

Oooo very nice, hey its hot in here LOL great poem. Makes one think of their last mins with a love one. How lust changes.

[novmoon]

I like it, it looks like a poem.

[biggan47]

Too many people in the modern world view poetry as a luxury, not a necessity like petrol. But to me it's the oil of life. Betjeman

[FloridaSweety]

OMG, I can't take looking at the rat! YUKO!

[jround93]

Nice!

[thornekatt]

I love it! Great work, Peter.  : ]

[FSTOPDR]

Rottweiler (noun) something that has been allowed to rot awhile.

I have heard that poem before and found it far too heavy. Yes, I love being shallow.

Stick to the essays and cooking shows.

I so wish we were neighbours. I would visit that crazy old man until he started locking the door every morning. It would be the opposite of Elizabeth coming over for a coffee and breaking the Royal Doutlon.

And may I compliment you on your lovely bucket of flower. :)

[StevenJeNova]

Interesting. Enigmatic, even. But I got it.

[siderider2]

Beautifully read, a thoroughly thoughtful message...thank you, Peter...

[10mjt29]

don't know what to make of that peter. they thoughts that often go through my head, what will my death be like. the only thing that stops me getting depressed over it, is the fact that every body who is dead, has gone through it and come out....but where?

[trettfilms]

another great video!

[Truedantalion]

Poetry, and art ... What a delightful surprise, Peter! Your steadily growing and blossoming portfolio of video topics is a sheer pleasure; never a dull moment there :-)!

[scandia61]

I like the poem and it goes well with your art...however, I disagree with the last line of the poem. Lust, even "late flowering" lust, should be a joyful thing.

[puddysma1]

Poignant...
