I've seen this myself, but in Mumbai rather than Dubai

Posted on Sat, 06 Feb 2016

Bangladeshies are treated badly and seriously ripped off in Mumbai, seem they are no better off in Dubai.

Your first stanza really struck a chord with me . . . an every day scene in many Indian cities.

Poingent and well constructed...

Hi Deb

The more I hear about the NHS, the more I am convinced it needs to be broken up and the whole health system in the UK re-structured. Unfortunately I am also convinced whatever they did the UK government would find a way to **** it up.

Many 'relaxation pundits' say the mind is as big as the universe if you use your imagination. Certainly I can see an example of this in this poem, you have been travelling without limits.

Love-writing talks of a roller-coaster of emotions.

However, after reading you have accepted Chemo, I have to tell you; you are in for a roller-coaster ride, but hopefully one that has a happy landing. My thoughts are with you on this and...

Excellent atmospheric piece.

You won't believe it, but I was in the Dominican Republic when Katrina passed by, but it was just a strong storm - lots of rain and wind. After three months on the island I'd seen a few storms before and this...

Really good work, Luigi

Posted on Sat, 04 Jul 2015

Nice one Bee (pun sorry)

This really touched me,
