"It was a star falling out of

Posted on Sat, 20 Jan 2024

"It was a star falling out of the sky with comets trailing behind it. Sputniks went off course and experienced gravitational wobbles. The QE2’s sister ship ran aground in Damuir Canal. An invasion of big boats and ocean liners were likewise...

"..was left quite literally

Posted on Mon, 22 Jan 2024

"..was left quite literally high and dry
up the mountain road on a dead-end track."

There's a lot of drama in such a short poem, Rhiannon. We do get so attached to our cars, don't we? I enjoyed the ride and was glad of a happy ending...

".. a cloud-bellied

".. a cloud-bellied necromancer..."

 

Such wonderful use of language in evoking a unique atmosphere to celebrate a "pie". Gorgeous.

Well I've been to Inverness

Posted on Fri, 19 Jan 2024

Well I've been to Inverness so that makes me a third of a real traveller, I guess.

On my tour across the Golden Triangle in India, it was invariably air-conditioned coach excursions each day. There was a young couple with expensive cameras...

Breathless, dramatic and cool

Posted on Thu, 18 Jan 2024

Breathless, dramatic and cool. Of course.

"As they say, shit roles downhill…" I had a boss that used to use this phrase all the time. It was always a coded warning to make sure you perform. Nice guy..

Well I've read all 3 parts

Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024

Well I've read all 3 parts now. Your lilting style and wry humour makes it an effortless reading journey. You make the point that we make assumptions about people and places (almost certainly based on the images we see in the media). My lad...

"Step into the forest

Posted on Sun, 14 Jan 2024

"Step into the forest

Contemplate the lake.."

 

Wise words, Penny. There's a whole industry in forest-bathing devoted to encouraging just that. Maybe we need to break the bonds of slavery to our electronic devices. They are...

 "So glad they weren’t out on

Posted on Mon, 15 Jan 2024

 "So glad they weren’t out on the windy hill
    with buffeted lamp and wintry chill."

A highly visual poem. I like the rhythm and rhyming aspects. It's a scene to be played out a lot soon with lambing season coming. I know farmers...

Parking at hospitals is such

Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024

Parking at hospitals is such a mess. I avoid it if I can. Whenever I go to Northampton General, I use a council car park nearby. It's easier than the expensive bunfight at the hospital. Ditto when I take my lad to an appointment at Kettering...

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!
