Oh! How I yearn for the

Oh! How I yearn for the countryside, to be at one with the landscape. Just for a moment I was right there with you in your poem, you make it seem so breathtaking.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous poem Rhiannon, and the photos are...

I think you've kept this
Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
I think you've kept this story so real. There's only so many times you can forgive someone for their aggression, then the only action you can take, is to move on, but for so many women the fear is far too great, which is very sad.

I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...

This is such a fond elegy for someone passing. I too am sorry for your loss Paul.
These lines stood out to me so much:-
Night comes wearing its cloak
of sable skies and constellations,

a wonderful sense of calm in this piece Rhiannon, like the end to a perfect day has been achieved and you've just sat down to write about it.
I love the photos too, they fill the heart with gladness...as does your poem.

Posted on Fri, 25 Mar 2022
Hear! Hear! Rhiannon. These words are so important. We all need that special someone we can depend on, and know they can depend on us too.
It brings to mind when our fence blew down, instead of getting in someone professional, me and my...

Posted on Fri, 04 Mar 2022
Very much enjoyed reading Jane. It's amazing where new ideas for stories come from, but you seem to have the knack for creating situations, and this was marvellous, could actually see it being played out on the tv screen, but have to settle for...
