Sadly no. It was good old Google images, but as a child I would walk the lonely beaches and wonder at what the tide had brought in...where it came from, what stories it had to tell...I think you get my drift

I love poems that evoke imanges and this one (for me) is full of them. I was also taken to 'Nowhere Man' by the Beatles and 'Crossroads' by Don McLean. I guess its the roads connection, but for me poems that take my mind on a journey are worth...

Your work never dissapoints and I simply adored the rhythm of this poem. For some reason I was transported back to a famous piece of work 'the night mail' and the rhythm in that. A really inspiring piece of work Rhiannon. Well done...again!

So powerful and so frightening. I still have a fear of being lonely even with my family around me. Wonderful writing. I felt as if I was inside Tilly's head watching and sharing her observations and thoughts.
Well deserved recognition...

Posted on Wed, 10 Sep 2008
It was the 'life goes on...' part that got me. I hate it when someone comes out with that supposed well meaning phrase. It strikes me as the kind of thing someone says when it would have been better if they had kept their own counsel.

I always love poems that I can relate to. We live in a tiny village in County Durham and just behind me are three fields leading to the local parish church. The footpath passes our cottage and this poem could have been written there.
