"We say, smugly, the Younger generation, our children, they will fix it."

For sure, all that will be left is stones but I would question the JSO shenanigans at Stonehenge. Of all the places to protest, the spiritual capital of the country...

"...an acknowledged war hero and a humble witness all over the world, to the Saviour..."

A fine tribute to somebody I wasn't familiar with it until I read your poem. I looked up her details via the power of Google. It made very interesting...

"A billion trillion raindrops cling, shimmering to dark grey tracery of beech twigs, each tipped in a fine fawn point, holding the plans for a furl of zingy green to emerge in April and set the woods afizz."

That's another evocative read. You capture the splendor and history of the sites you visited adroitly. I would say it's unusual for a group to bond so well like that. The tour I went on in India with about 30 or so other people was marred by many...

A heart warming story for sure and highlights a genuine issue in society of loneliness. There are many people just looking for someone to talk to but it's something that is stigmatised to a large extent. Good on you for engaging with her. Ah......

"Is it too late
to find a purpose …
even now?"

Enjoyed the juxtaposition of photos taken years apart. The question asked in the poem is one many ask themselves. Often the answer is no. A thought provoking piece, for sure. Paul

Ach...it's all kamikaze stuff. The first moves of the new chancellor does seem to scream "trickle down economics" which, as we already know, doesn't/don't work. We are all party to a huge casino-style gamble with the country's finances. Strap...

Nicely done, Rhiannon. That must have taken a lot of thought with the immaculate rhyming and rhythm. I certainly enjoyed reading it. You are a highly skilled poet. Paul

Yes, congratulations on completing a novel-length story. Beautifully crafted throughout. Whimsy and drama. You could definitely edit and publish this if you chose to. Paul

Chains of daisies as an analogy of unity, strength yet peace. The world needs more of this thinking. Nicely done and enjoyed your poem. Paul :)
