I was able to read this piece
Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022
I was able to read this piece one day on the holiday I have just been on, but couldn't really use the internet most of the time. I was very relieved to hear your son is okay and is safely home. I found your piece very informative and illuminating...

I did enjoy this continuation

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...

Posted on Fri, 22 Apr 2022
Vladimir Plutinpot must have one of the thickest skins known amongst the currently living human race. Most ordinary folks like us would be quite embarassed to be causing so many people so much pain and suffering without good enough reason! To...

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2022
I did enjoy this very funny exagerated satire. It is a good series, and I feel I know the real Boris a lot better now. I am wondering whether Priti could be becoming the real power behind the throne of Boris? (Maybe she can use her charms on Mr...

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022
Wow! This is very good Di Hard. An allegory which shows the current conflict in Ukraine and the world, in a very intelligent way. I am pretty sure I know who the Clever King is, very topical, but there are a few candidates for who the Richest Man...

I enjoyed your poem. It seems very appropriate to us writers at abctales, all searching for some degree of recognition or an audience!

I enjoyed your poem. Its a great idea, looking at your life backwards through a prism, and you certainly do that very effectively. Well chosen words!
I would be interested now to see what your earlier version of this poem was, before you...

In the early stages of this
Posted on Sun, 27 Mar 2022
In the early stages of this invasion I wondered whether the Russians would have avoided invasion if they had been offered to keep their 2014 conquests with the neutrality of Ukraine, or might even then make a quick deal. But really the invasion...

Thanks for commenting Insert, and for the cherries, which I am very pleased with. I did this piece from the perspective of our lazy, indolent, comfortable western/modern lifestyle, shocked into fear and uncertainty by this rogue invasion of a...

Posted on Tue, 22 Mar 2022
I think this is a very clever and well written piece! In the current circumstances I think many of us are hoping, but as writers I suppose we are not going to be much good at getting it done! I like the way Putin appears to be in full control...
