Posted on Sun, 21 Apr 2024

To be fair, Jenny, that will have happened to a lot of people. When a car gets bump started, it can shoot off and many end up falling flat on their face. I hope you have recovered from your ordeal. The embarrassment at being the centre of...

Such evocative imagery, Jenny. You connect with nature so well with your poetry :)

"...the mournful boom of bittern,

the silent clarity of consequence,

that the greatest lie might be the starkest truth

is the coldest flame."

 

Some gorgeous lines in there, Rachel. Soulful and poignant.

Posted on Wed, 17 Apr 2024

"Even wildernesses need management
to keep the variety,
ensure diversity,
prevent monopoly.."

That's an authoritative poem, Rhiannon. So much knowledge in there. You are right, of course. The weeds need managing to give...

It's great to read another Alfred Muggins story. I'm sure Mrs Muggins must have looked fetching in her new pink cowgirl hat. Hoping there's a part 2 to follow...

Posted on Sat, 13 Apr 2024

‘That’s how you got home, Annie, petrol. It got you home didn’t it.’ That made me laugh. The dialogue is compelling. You must have a lot of fun visualising the interactions between the characters you have created including Spencer, of course. The...

It's nice to imagine Captain Sensible with his infamous parrot singing "Happy Talk" on TOTP as part of a computer processing thoughts and songs. I know it's a cover but it's the version that stands out. For me anyway but then I love The Damned....

Dr Kruschev - wasn't he the Russian president at some point in the past? There seems to be many links between Bulgaria and Russia.
