This is such a special piece of writing Rhiannon. I love how you've woven information into this poem and let the reader see through your eyes the wonder and creation of a leaf.
Very much enjoyed reading.

I can identify with your words Jane. It's amazing how many people I see that look like someone I've known, but can't always place where from. Then there's others where I've been tempted to approach and been shocked to find out it's not really...

Your poem definitely took...

Oh dear, you seem to have been through so much with not only the shock of finding yourself with Bels Palsy, but having to sit and wait for four hours on your own. It reminded me of my experience in A & E waiting for eight hours to see a...
