Posted on Tue, 07 Jul 2020

I did enjoy reading this, not that I am usually too keen on a lot of swearing, but it is often very appropriate and hard hitting in the right place. Here it suits the character perfectly, a very dramatic and extreme character, who nonetheless...

Posted on Mon, 13 Apr 2020

I have enjoyed your poem. It is a great poem, expressing our desires to explore all the books and films etc in our rich culture, which we are normally too busy to explore. The sense of our society having spoiled many of its opportunities and...

Interesting dilemma, well

Posted on Wed, 01 Apr 2020

Interesting dilemma, well explained. Policies will vary, but in today's circumstances it does seem safer to wear a mask, for the protection of ourselves, and others. I don't have a mask myself (yet) but it does seem sensible for many situations....

You have described the story

Posted on Thu, 05 Dec 2019

You have described the story in a very effective, easy to understand way, which I like. This story appeals to most of us modern minded people, who perhaps partly due to the teachings of Jesus, feel able to make our own choices and do not wish to...

Posted on Thu, 14 Nov 2019

I enjoyed this! Very readable, and I can empathise with its humility and sense of not making too much of a difference. I like the way you create the sense of decline in the disappearing city.

Posted on Fri, 08 Nov 2019

Well really if the land is holy ground, or church land, the police should have the power to move the travellers off. If the law is not able to be enforced then it will be made a mockery of. Hopefully there are places the travellers are allowed to...
