Posted on Tue, 02 Jul 2024

Major change is afoot in France with National Rally bringing credibility to the Far Right it seems. If they make it to government then I think revolution and counter-revolution will be on a scale not seen in decades. I see Europe lurching...

Really like "..octave of scents.." A fusion of senses - musical/hearing and smell.

And that's a great last line:

"They are nothing but carbon"

A thoughtful reverie of the beauty and beast of roses. Whole thing feels like a...

"The elephant is heavy, the feather is light,
the elephant is grey, the feather is white."

There's a lovely, lilting rhythm to this. Nicely done, Rhiannon.

"there's tiny

secret footprints across leafy

glade of my world, setting

visions of wonder."

Imagination is a wonderful thing. I enjoyed that flight of fantasy with you, Jenny.

"The people of both sides will be shown justice and respect for once."

That's a decent dream of Alfred's. Hoping it comes true one day.

"Everybody knows that, since I auditioned for Britain's Got Talent. Some bastard put me on YouTube!'"
