I think you have outlined the dangers of the new law/ rules very well. You have expressed what most of us are probably thinking about thes changes to the rules which seem to have come from nowhere and seem not to have been contributed to by the...

Posted on Thu, 10 Feb 2022
I enjoyed your story of a young man drawn into something he cannot handle by feminine promise (not just once, but twice!). He does certainly seem to pick his ladies doesn't he? Or could it be that he is the one who is inadvertantly selecting them...

Posted on Tue, 15 Feb 2022
Do we mean that Valentine was not just about love and romance? I have read some suggestions/history about him in the past, but always forget the detail before the next Valentine's Day comes around. Evidently he was an early Christian martyr in...

An imaginative and amusing leap ten years into the future! I enjoyed that, but whether it is actually going to turn out like that, I am not sure? Maybe if the Conservatives win all the elections until then it could just be!

Good poem Marandina! You brought me back to the romantic legends of King Arthur and Avalon etc. which I have always enjoyed. I am, in a sense, surprised that tower hasn't blown away, as it was exceedingly windy when I went there some years ago....

Posted on Fri, 31 Dec 2021
Your poem is reminding me a little of Bruce Springsteen's 'The River'. The new year is like the high expectations at the beginning which turns into the river of life as the year (or life!) passes/flows. I like the imagery you have used! Happy new...

I like this poem and how it marries optimism with the regressive effects of the pandemic and decline of our health and social systems. You express the mixed feelings of entering the new year at this time! Happy New Year nonetheless!
