There's that subversive

Posted on Tue, 16 Jan 2024

There's that subversive humour again with only going on Facebook to keep an eye on her daughter. Wry and oils the story line making it relatable in a warm way. Dark developments on the www. It's a jungle out there. Keep going, Jane!

Posted on Thu, 11 Jan 2024

I like the way her friend keeps getting the name wrong. It's all about me!

Eesh...progrock. We're not travelling back to the early 70s are we? :)

As ever, the pace is right and the small details light up the story.

Keep going...

"It is a dark night

Posted on Sat, 13 Jan 2024

"It is a dark night
in Berlin in 1938."

You capture a sense of foreboding in one of the grimmest periods of history. This is a night of the utmost infamy. Your poem captures it so well,Luigi. Keep well. Paul

I could see those gulls and massive walls of rolling water. Such a visual, evocative poem. Just lovely, Richard. I hope you are keeping well. Paul

The dialogue is credible and the pacing is good. I like the world of espionage and intrigue that you have built here. Looking forward to the next instalment :)

Such a deeply personal piece.

Posted on Thu, 21 Dec 2023

Such a deeply personal piece. The authenticy shines through which is why I imagine so many people have connected with it. It takes a great deal of skill to pull off writing something from a child's POV and the result being credible. That's...

"But now, do they regret

Posted on Tue, 09 Jan 2024

"But now, do they regret
behaviour of that time desire to forget?
living presently by better rules,
wishing that they hadn’t been such fools?"

 

I like the rhythm and rhyming in this. I imagine it took a while to...

Posted on Mon, 08 Jan 2024

Ah those poor bankers - blamed for all of society's ills and yet so blameless :)

There's more than an ounce of truth in here (I know....I've worked with 'em for a lot of my career).

I once looked at a "sure-fire money spinner"...

"..and then the people beneath the stars

who are also phantoms of sorts..."

Often the best poems come from simply observing life. There's a stillness to this, a watchful appreciation of another. There's a skill in moving that to...

"..we soaked, dripped, dropped,
seeped right into the ground
to restore
its wetness,"

A perfect circle described so beautifully. There's a deftness to this that makes the poem so readable. Just lovely, Rhiannon. Paul
