By skinner_jennifer on Thu, 05 Sep 2024

Bless you Turlough,

I think being positive is the only way to go forward. I'm glad it shined through in this poem.

It was also such a pleasure to receive Poem of the Week and such a beautiful surprise, which I'm very grateful for....

From sea to land we have so

From sea to land we have so many very strange creatures, with some species we're only just discovering.

I was intrigued and found your description in this poem very interesting.

Thank you for sharing Rhiannon.

Thanks for your kind words Di

Welcome back from me too.

I don't know how you keep

Posted on Thu, 07 May 2026

I don't know how you keep going on your garden Turlough. If it wasn't for my partner, I'd have to pay a gardener to keep the garden tidy. It's so frustrating because I used to love growing flowers and vegetables from seed, but now I've lost all...

Sounds like you've been

Posted on Wed, 06 May 2026

Sounds like you've been working hard in the garden Turlough. We had an imvasive plant in our garden, it had trumpet white flowers, I think they call it a moon flower. It grew so wild and took over everything, but we seem to have it under control...

I've never heard a cuckoo in

Posted on Thu, 07 May 2026

I've never heard a cuckoo in real life. I think they must be a rare sight.

I love your poem and your account of the encounter. Your words summed up the experience perfectly.

Jenny.
