Lethe
Forgetting things is so scary like standing on a bank a river is eating away at. My Dad died of dementia unable to talk. My son hates that I want to...

It's all about bread
It is important to be able to look down on your enemy. Though they are not enemies rather bread and butter. That sort of spongy white pap I wouldn't...

It's sort of like Shirley tipped the balance away from money towards humanity

Made me think of a patchwork
Posted on Thu, 28 Feb 2019
Made me think of a patchwork eiderdown made of gauzy mists, black velvet inside caves, shimmering satin clouds, thick embroidery of hedges, like reliving memories as you sew it together with words.

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?

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

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...
