i have enjoyed reading this one Marandina. It definitely kept me guessing until the end, and the ending did have some good twists. I feel maybe that a bit more explanation or description of how the kids were kept and looked after during their '...

Posted on Sun, 26 Jun 2022

A very thought provoking and quite sad poem. You deal with some very real issues here. Capitalism is like a machine that does not stop, for good or ill. We need to control it and its effects ideally. Let us hope we do not all become surplus to...

I like what you have done with the imagery of 'Wizard Of Oz'. It's a great story/fantasy, but like all the best such tales it can be used to symbolise so much of the problems, hopes and dreams of our real world! I like the way you have updated...

I enjoyed your poem relating the old story nicely! It is a great story, which can be used as a moral tale, and as a speculation about what could have happened to the children! I seem to remember reading that quite a few German cities/towns claim...

I did enjoy this continuation of your Pointless saga, and Boris's continued lucky escape. It is nice to know that the French Revolution hasn't actually finished yet, but I think Boris has far more than 9 lives! He is a miracle man, who, just when...
