The Beautiful Game
This is a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu. It's about a real issue which is happening right now. I know that there are many terrible things that have happened, and are happening, in Gaza and the West Bank, and a children's football pitch may seem such a minor thing. But it really touched a nerve with me. I feel powerless to do anything about it, but at least I can cry into the void with my letter.

All sorts of things slip down
Posted on Sun, 01 Feb 2026
All sorts of things slip down the cracks in time and/or space. But I never thought about silence itself doing that, until I read your poem.
Personally I like the staccato delivery, I felt it was a good example of form echoing content. ...

Hypocrisy
Posted on Sun, 18 Jan 2026
Well said, Turlough.
I've read a lot about these cases (although I hadn't heard of Ann) and sometimes the man responsible for the pregnancy was the father or brother. Which adds another layer of hypocrisy to the indignant shame heaped by...

That Pesky Stress
Posted on Sat, 18 Apr 2026
Jenny I think there are two separate issues here. One is the physical problem with your lung, and the other is the psychological state you are in.
So far as the physical problem with your lung goes – let the NHS handle this. They are on...

Too true. Well put in scary times.
BTW did you read my post entry about Lonesome Dove ? I'd appreciate your opinion. I read it on your recommendation and loved it. I deliberated whether to go back and read the prequels, but I...
