Thanks for commenting Insert,

Posted on Sun, 27 Mar 2022

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...

I think this is a very clever

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...

Posted on Tue, 22 Mar 2022

I like your poem Di Hard. It perfectly captures the contrast between the victims in Mariupol, on the front line, while reporters and politicians debate the legal definitions of war crimes, while being unable or unwilling to risk themselves for...

Some great words in this

Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2022

Some great words in this balanced and wise poem. I haven't entirely taken it all in yet, but I do think this is a very hopeful and strong poem. Russia deserves better than this tinpot reactionary, and I am sure a nation of such beautiful music,...

I have enjoyed reading your piece Grace. After getting myself all wound up by watching the news over and over again at the moment, I am finding your reminder that wars and powerful rulers all must pass very comforting. Because you are right....

Posted on Fri, 11 Mar 2022

It could so easily be any of us, and we don't know where the whole war will end up for all of us. our fragile modern peace has been shattered. Your poem expresses what so many of us are feeling and what we need to feel, so that we can all...

Great Poem Marandina! You

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022

Great Poem Marandina! You perfectly describe the mood and the uncertainty in 'untouched' Moscow. I do hope your son will be able to complete his 3 months, but it may be wise to return. War could get nastier and Ukraine still end up occupied, but...

Thanks for commenting Di Hard

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022

Thanks for commenting Di Hard. I am thinking that maybe the European nations and Ukraine should have given Putin the guarantee he seems to want so badly that Ukraine cannot join NATO or the EU, and probably recognised Russia's annexation of...

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022

Maybe if western nations had agreed that Ukraine would be restricted from ever joining NATO or the EU the invasion could have been avoided? That might well have been a better solution than the current situation where Putin can sit on parts of the...

Good poem. You aptly sum up

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022

Good poem. You aptly sum up the inevitable hypocrisy of our 'support' when western nations don't feel it wise to join their defence and trigger a wider war.
