Posted on Sat, 23 Feb 2019
I am not sure. The little girl's grandmother is reported saying she wished they had not named him? If the rest of the family feel that also, maybe their wishes should have been put first?
If the boy who did this wanted notoriety, if there...

Heard the voice clearly in my head - you wrote the accent so well. You have made a voice that sounds real, joking even as the air runs out
"now", like the whole poem was bringing us to this word and no way out of the dark

Posted on Wed, 13 Feb 2019
"geniuses? Shiny smug beetles" YES they were!!! Invulnerable, unsquashable, surviving everything. While I was the worm burying myself in the compost quiet of the library hoping no one would notice and send me squirming outside into all the noise...

Posted on Tue, 12 Feb 2019
that's so clever! It reads like waves coming in, each one higher than the last, or a time lapse film. I love how the last line in each verse links to each next like cogs fitting perfectly, it emphasises how everything works perfectly one stage...

Posted on Sun, 10 Feb 2019
The trouble is that the driving is destroying lush forests. The more people run away the less there is to escape to. The last verse is so hopless, a life that started off aiming at the stars can't reach them and becomes debris which brings down...

Posted on Fri, 08 Feb 2019
Always in awe of those who can make rhyme look so easy, but this poem is about wildlife so it's great for two reasons! And it's as jolly as the flower is. I have read several beautiful dandelion poems on ABC but this is the first with such a...

Enjoyed this so much! I think you must have keen eyes as well as such knowledge, there are layers and layers to what you see that I am unaware of. Waiting at a bus stop here, I saw a buzzard being mobbed by rooks, and often I hear them mewing...

I hope Shirley finds happiness in your book. At the moment she feels like someone searching up and down a corridor looking for a door that has been blocked off and papered over. I am very interested to see how you develop the characters who can...

Oh Jane! I wish I could have read this when I was 12-13. It reminded me so much of how I was. Know now it was OCD. Remember my Mum screaming at methat I should be locked up, the panic attacks when she'd storm in and kick and push things out of...
