I really like this.

Posted on Thu, 02 Sep 2021

I really like this.

I particularly like your description of what happens when you open the window. Sometimes it does feel that by opening a window the whole of what is going on outside drifts in to stir up the stillness and change the...

Nice work

Posted on Thu, 02 Sep 2021

I enjoyed reading this. A reminder that everything in nature is unique and lasts only seconds as light and weather conditions change and time and seasons advance.

Posted on Sun, 29 Aug 2021

I don't share this fact with many people but I spend a lot of my time sitting outdoors staring at the sky. Days with blue skies and cumulus clouds are the best because this is when I see maps of Ireland, ducks with three legs, my grandfather...

I really enjoyed reading this

This is a very well written

Posted on Sat, 28 Aug 2021

This is a very well written poem, Jenny, which I read twice to ensure that it had sunk in.
