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....

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...

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. 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...

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...

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...
