Tina, this takes me back many

Posted on Mon, 14 Sep 2015

Tina, this takes me back many years when I was on a course in the Lake district and was persuaded by some of the participants to join them to reach the summit of the Old Man. This I did, in borrowed walking boots, puffing a lot. A venture...

How clever of you, Tina, to use the beginning of W.H.Auden's 'Funeral Blues', but in reverse, as a platform for your poignant message. That picture has become a symbol of the whole tragic situation and has awoken the conscience of many people....

Posted on Mon, 08 Dec 2014

Excellent poetry, Bee. An apt metaphor for the empty nest syndrome. That procreation is no longer possible is seen as the end of a useful existence and even though some vitality remains -

Posted on Mon, 01 Dec 2014

From the good play on words of the title I knew that this was going to be full of angst cleverly expressed and was not disappointed. It speaks not just of a blue day but of an annus horribilis that is the harbinger of a downhill slide...
