Revision

Posted on Sun, 01 Dec 2024

Oh, Dougie. Whenever I try to read any of my old bits of writing I end up just poking holes in them and telling myself that these days I could do a much better job. I've looked at some of the writing that I did before I joined ABC with the idea...

Fog horn fever

Posted on Tue, 12 Nov 2024

Thanks very much Di. I'll be grand. Worse things have happened at sea... which is what I used to say when I was at sea... which is probably why I wasn't at sea very long.

There's nothing more mournful than a fog horn. I lived in Barry in...

The Cartographer's Tale

Posted on Tue, 12 Nov 2024

Maps are like rainbows. They never truly end, even though we think they do. Wander off the edge of the map and you never know what adventure you'll find... maybe even a crock of gold.

The Children of Gaza

My heart bleeds for the upset members of the editorial board.

I love your clever and unique approach to describing these horrors that the world chooses to ignore.

Good on you!

Goats

Posted on Mon, 28 Oct 2024

Having lived in the Balkans as long as I have, it's hard to resist a story with goats in it. The rats are a bit of a side order too. 

I loved your dancing silhouettes. You create a great atmosphere with your words, sending shivers. I felt...

Lady Grinning Soul

Posted on Mon, 07 Oct 2024

This waiting game, when

hearing melodies that bring

back those carefree impressions,

 

The first line of your poem brought back to me the first line of David Bowie's Lady Grinning Soul...

Caught in a trap

Posted on Wed, 09 Oct 2024

I get your drift Luigi. I feel like a sixty-five-year-old trapped in the body of a sixty-six-year-old.

Keep up the good work!
